SketchUp MNPCtech & Bit-Tech.net case design contest #5 - (Deadline moved to September 1st)

Now that you nix'd the hole, the heat pipe arrangement is odd.

 

What's so depressing about the SpinQ? Just because it's mady be Thermaltake? Sure their cases are hideous, but this cooler looks great imo. Didn't even perform that bad actually...

You might want to include some kind of mounting mechanism to avoid the cooler breaking the board in half.

 

well, the lower section needs tweaking still, and there are a few more features to add.

I should probably sit back and actually plan this design, other than just 'playing around'. Not very good for someone who has a degree in design after all! lol!

 

Mount the chip backplate to the mobo tray! -Oldest trick in the book.

 

Still might not have time to compete - project o² just kicked into top gear

 

hence why the tray is 3mm alloy, also the mounting fixings would have to engage from the back side as well.

 

@confusis - Test drive the O2 hardware by building a contest submission.

 

I tried something simple, let me know what do you think... also does it fit the "tortuous" theme?



ps: great cooler burnout !

 

Problem with that is the case is still a fair bit away from being finished. I'm not a fan of running systems on the bench. That and I need a new monitor ><

 

@Korben - I tried messing with my monitor settings, but I could still only see a black spot. You might want to switch the colors to a dark grey so we can see your build.

 

Thanks Cheap for reply, here is the pic in chrome

The idea its based on touchscreen connected to mini-itx board, located "in" the table.
I can imagine this concept in museum or a gallery etc.

 

Much better, Thank you.

 

And what you guys think about that?

 

i finally started to work on something :





that's a 20" screen, i'll make a walking rendering farm :O that will be about 2m high and 4-5m long

 

@Korben - OOPs. I'd go with the middle version. Putting anything behind the I/O plate ALWAYS causes problems. If it's a kiosk setup, you might want to make cover panels. (You have to expect trouble from the average brat or moo-cow.)

@Dark - Well it's about d*mn time! I thought I was going to have to hit you with a stick.

 

mouahaahah soon it will take over the world

 

^^ Reminds me of this:
