Hey guys ,Nice to get back into this mod. while i was waiting for some parts to arrive for H-1 i'd get a bit of work done on hpr3. As much as i liked the first fan box, it was drifting away from the internal theme i was going for. I decided to make the Fan box again!and this time keep it plex rather than bondoing over it. I decided to rout the edges this time and also do the inner circles. Because the PLEX is soo thick this time "10mm" i had to countersink the screw holes.
The routed edges are shined clear with flame. the end result one lit proper the box wiill become a light feature inside the case as well has being a fan holder.
Not quiet sure whats to say about this next mod for HPR3! just decided to do it! thought it would work in well with the rest of the mod and it's a great way to spend a sunday arvo Plex PSU Off to the plex shop and get some cut to size bits! next was to measure and install some stand offs a quick check....this is just ageneric 400watter from an oldserver Some heat sink bending will be needed!!!!! Some drilling!!! Some fitting of a switch and power socket Some sanding with wet and dry to get that nice frosted finish...1200g is used.
Some wiring/soldering back up up wires! The outer walls are glued on and the 120mm fan is added. Some drilling thread tapping and coountersinking of holes are done to secure the lid.
The end result!!! i may still give the edges a hand beveling for a rounded look. Hows it look? Its nice to be getting some work done to this again
Its so frustrating, I keep looking at this forum, and each time I see a new idea that i'd like to put into practice and... S***T i realize I can't cuz I don't have the time, the equipement, and... the skills... Damn damn damn and damn again.... and that lightwork and plexi cutting is so cute... I'm getting jealous !
Wouldn't that have been a problem for the airflow? At least the air has loads of space to circulate through...
