Case Mod - In Progress METO V.3 - DnA (real thread lol)

if i could i would have placed another 9x on the other side;P its not overkill until something dies from it

i dont think im gonna go for a t-line. i have the res´s to fill it up and if i need to drain, ill just disconnect one of the hoses

My soldering skills = fail


Got the last filling on the res holder done


My workplace lol…


And cleaned


And as usual I messed it up after 30 mins;P


Got all the wholes drilled


And got the things drilled away that made the raddy a very tight fit… fits better now


Looks good


The dvd cover plate a damn nice fit!




Its hold in place by these 2 rivets in the one side


The cables from the Leds. Don’t look that bad


And got some holes drilled and tapped for the cover plate.


And some more spacers


To the cover plate hose entrance


And light! Got it all rigged most of it


Only one led in the res´s atm and still lights up pretty good


Placed one of the 10 cm led strips beside the fans


And looks quite good


I almost cant wait to get the last things drilled in place. Since I got my worktable cleaned everything has been a lot easier

Probertly wont get my laser stuff before Monday since there is some problems with the engraving

 

Love the res mods matey

What barbs are they on top of the pumps, 45degree but who makes them and where did you get them from?

 

thx for the nomination for motm

the barbs on the top is 45 degree right and they are made by koolance fantastic ones! and expensive

 

w00t... Congrats on the MoTM nominee mate. You got mine.

 

thx! i should have some more updates when i get the last laser cut stuff... there was a problem with the files i send last time so didnt get it all

 

this looks pretty cooool!! how much would you say this project has cost (or is going to cost) overall? thts if u can say??

 

1904$ atm thats with all the parts. watercooling, case, raddy, light etc. and then hardware comes beside that

 

So… got some more laser cut parts and guess what?
Some fits, some don’t. measured once, twice and triple… hell.. I even quadro checked !

But this is what I got:

Loot


Can you guess what they are going to be used to ill show later

Along with the small parts I had another part made, because the other one I had didn’t fit well enough. (this is one of the parts that fits to the mm.! man I love when things turns out well



Got another back plate bend



Put in place:



And got the whole drilled for the led wire’s



Now back to these:



Taddaaa… got some of the hoses in place. This will look awesome with the fluid inthere!





This looked kinda messy:/





So moved it around to look like this:



The hoses has to end somewhere… in this case, under the res’s xD



And this is how it looks. The hdd loop is done, and is going to sit like shown in the pictures, and the gpu/cpu loop will go like, red pump (red impellar) – raddy – cpu – gpu – blue pump – res – red pump



After dark





Notice the little feature in the side of the front



Duo to this xD put another light in front. It looks awesome in the dark when the front is opened and closed!



thats about it! next up is paint xD... and some more parts.. when i get the last friggin parts remeasured 20 times to be sure... dont get it, they should fit

cu until next time lads!

 

Very nice, but like you said it's kinda messy

 

do you think the second placements for the hoses looks messy too?

 

wow pope! I like the first loop!
Awesome work so far! keep it up

 

Finally someone is doing hose management, I'm glad to see that It's looking good so far

 

thx the hose routing was also something that took me a while to figure out xD

Paint… paint paint paint



Managed to paint the test plate somehow reasonable and continued with the rest. A flie ruined one of the plates sadly so have to redo that one…

But that said it looks quite good



And now to put it in place and see how it looks





Wuhuu



And another cover plate I also got painted



And got these painted ;P





So… lets see how they fit and look!
Oh damn! With fluid and light this will be epic!







The bottom plate looks kinda wird, but that’s because the paint hadn’t dryid probertly. And its getting another layer or 2.



And with the raddy on!




thats about all until i get the last parts painted and when they dry i can start assembling it

until then! - cu

 

finally an updata again ay? a small one, and not with all the little parts ive done in all this time, but time is short and ive torn apart the main pc so that i could put it into the case itself!

i got the last parts home, and sanded and painted them and fitted them on! and what a job.. took me whole day -.-

to start with! DnA ! it looks awsome IMO!


and got the plates fitted on! wuuuh




and how much you can see through the window




look at the raddy reflecting in the paint


and last, i got handles installed quite usefull since this thing already weighs a tonne!


sry for the lack of pics, and the crappy pic quality. i am hoping to get my hand on a decent camera in a week or so, but until then you have to settle with this

next up is routing hoses and finishing the light setup. i got some cool bouble lights that i have a plan with.

have fun!

-p0Pe

 

and another tiny update

so... i got all the light installed + i installed 2 bouble ccf.
and i installed the remote control 8)

so, solderd on wich took me a while and then hocked it all up, and guess what?
IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM! cant tell you how absolutely awsome this remote is 4 chans!
chan 1 - bouble ccf
chan 2 - res & pump leds
chan 3 - led strips front and inside
chan 4 - free

and ofc, i took some pics but they dosnt really do the mod justiceas always it looks so much better IRL.

the remote:


and the bouble light




the res & pump leds:






the main light led strips:






and a with & without flash

with



without!



i am very satisfyid with the light results! came out better than i hoped for.

more hose routing:





and the messe backplate that will be hidden by the side, and thank god for that;P




thx for watching and reading

-p0Pe

 

Awesome work dude. I love that dual top res kickass work buddy. well done. Keep it going like this and this case will look dam hot good luck

 

thx man apriciate it i am really looking foreward to start putting some fluid in this bad boy;P

 

Looking good, I really like the DNA logo

 

thx i am quite satisfied with it myself too just need to bend, and paint that plate and then ill put a dust filter on the fans!

 

Loving it dude All the effort is paying off - it looks off the chain

Look forward to seeing how it goes,
