MAC G5 BENCH CASE As ı said before there are 2 new MAC G5 mods on the table.My first worklog MAC G5 ATX (passive watercooled) is finished. I take final photos.I t is time to begin with a new worklog. 1-My first worklog was MAC ATX (passive watercooled) Link MAC G5 ATX http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=279896 2. This time again a MAC G5 , but as a BENCH CASE. 3-And my next worklog again a MAC G5 … But this time as a JUMBO MAC G5 = MAC G5 STACKER R JUMBO MAC G5 I want to make a TRILOGY with MAC G5 cases. This time ı want to make a different BENCH CASE from this case. A combination of aluminum and acrylic. I will use this case R1 But ı wll use only back side panel and the four handles of the case R 2 Case tilted R 3 As a bench case there are two ways that we can use. 1-Handles at front and back panels R4 2-Handles at sides I shall use it , this way. R 5 I want to install 2x360 rads in to the bulge of handles. And PSU ,POMP ,HDD etc . in this case R 6 As usally, MB on the top, on a thick plexi, as MB TRAY .that can be opened to back. As ı used it at my first BENCH Worklog And ı wannt to mount the video card with a 16X riser card extender flex. To prevent the height of the case ,becouse ı wannt to make a flap cover from plexi.(If ı can do it…) R6a
First a recess for rads and rad grils in to the handles , from acrylic. Drawn at corel R 7 And laser cut from 5 mm acrylic R 8 To bend the acrylics, ı made a mold from MDF. R 9 I can bend acrylic using this mold R 10 Acrylic plate on the mold R 11 Acrylic plate fixed to the mold R 12 Heating of acrylic with heat gun. R 13 And bending of softened acrylic R 14 Bended acrylics R 15- 16 Bended acrylic mounted to the case for trial purposes. R 17-18-19 And second side panel bended likewise. R 20 Two side panels are ready R 21 Second side panel mounted too… for trial purposes R 22-23
Four Silverstone case feets mounted to the bottom of the case R25 Next stage is front and back panel Made from 3mm thick acrylic a pattern for front and back panel. And mounted to control. Resim24 At front panel ı don t wannt to use a lott of displays. I want to use 2x lcd temp. displays for radiator entries and 2x lcd temp. Display for rad outputs.total 4 LCD displays for temp. And a fan controllerfor fans. And some researches for their placement R26-27-28-29 I have tried with different reservoirs EK X3, Bitspower. With 60 mm Radius. but I do not like any the most appropriate was EK Tube res X3 60 mm R38 but want to keep the cables of PSU. Masking could be a solution to it.. R 39 40 41 I wanted a different solution At last ı decided to use a wider resorvoir 150mm Radius , to make reservoir as essential element. I must make a Jumbo reservoir from acrylic tube like this R30 And use reservoir as essential element. of the buttom case like this R 31 32 33 Reservoir with extrem 150mm Radius. Was to big for this case. Therefore ı decided to make it with 120 mm Radius R 34 35 36 37 It is time to make a custom Tube reservoir with 120 mm Radius.
