F r e e z i n g S h u t t l e ..FINISHED. 66 PICTURE FINAL UPDATE. 7/09/04

I've tested it numerous times and with the drive in place, it kinds holds the cd like a track when u try sliding it in. It never touches the edge of the aluminum unless you try to bend the cd or something

 

u could always line the bottom of that slot with felt just incase but seems ok

 

Man, this is so freaky shining, you must have RSI from polisching it

Well, I'm gonna watch this one for shure. Good luck moding this thing.

 

Should be interesting to see how it turns out. Good Luck!

 

looking good

 

Time for another update...

I failed to show this before I polished the front, but it was important to get everything fitted. As you know, i'm using the thermaltake pump, which fits almost perfectly in the 3 1/2 drive bay. The only problem is that there are aluminum pieces sticking out so i had to get rid of it



I had to cut out that little section...



Then filed it a little bit to make it kinda straight again..






Test fitting the pump. Fits perfectly! I also have a multipower port plus, makes things a lot easier



Gave the interior a light spray of red paint.



Sprayed the little drive cage also..



Didn't really spray all that much on the bottom since the motherboard is going to be covering it anyways..

 

Painted the back. Here you can see the back is cut out originally to fit the thermaltake radiator. I ended up not using it and I plan to put an 80 mm exhaust fan back there so i'll have to remake those corners so i can screw on the fan again..



How it kinda looks with some of the parts installed..



Including the pump..



Another pic..



Here you can see how the pump barely clears the height. It's really a perfect fit...



Another angle.. with the parts installed..



And with the cdrom in place to see how it goes. THe drive will be painted black even though it won't be seen

 

i wonder where the harddrive is going to go?
nice job with the case so far, looking forward to seeing the progress of this case until completion

 

It's SFF PC's like this that make me bang my head against my large and heavy Antec 1000AMG.

mod on


Cheers,
Mike

 

Looking better still...nice colour

Just one thing - where do you plan to locate the hard drive?

 

Looks sweet! I really like your color choise! looking forward to see how you fit watercooling inside that box

 

Good job mang!

 

Sweet work so far!
Love the new shiny front fascia, much better than before.
Will be fun to see how you finally manage to fit all the watercooling in

 

Amsome work so far

Pitty about using thermaltake watercooling, maybe an upgrade in the future??

Will be watching

slater..

 

kinky

 

The only parts used from the thermaltake kit is the pump. The block is going to be upgraded..

 

Wow that looks amazing up to now....

Makes me want to do something with my stock sn45g that's sitting here in front of me.

two posts already but he doesnt seem to have seen them:

Where is the hdd going??

Looking good and nice and shiiiiiny......watching this.

 

I was actually going to wait until the next update to show you guys but basically it's going to be attached right under the cage that's holding the pump and all. There's plenty of space from the bottom of the cage to the motherboard.. almost a perfect fit You'll see later in the pics..

 

Glad to see another Watercooled Shuttle.

I see you managed to get one of the Xice Blocks too, can't believe there are so little blocks on the market that will fit and clear the side of the case!

I thought about putting the pump in the bays but was too lazy, it fits quite nicely in the space between the end of the gfx card and the case front.

Can't see why people diss the TT kit, its fine for most shuttles as they arent big on OCing so dont need uber cooling. In a fullsize case tho
