SketchUp MNPCtech & Bit-Tech.net case design contest

Thanks

Damn you guys! those ribs are just annoying to model the way I want them lol think I'll model something else in there place in case I cant get them right in rest of the week
As for power



A large junction box feeding 3.5mm jacks and enough room left inside for an uber Pico supply... use your imagination please
Also made a start on working out how the two loops are going to flow in this beast.

 

Well i created an imaginary motherboard so it's only fair you can create your own psu!

 

Plenty of room for itx PSUs editor.

I'm back from the church.

-I don't have enough time to get the shapes the way I wanted them, I'm having to cut corners.

-All the major internals are in now too.

 

Great work Cheapskate and Editor.

The first person to finish didn't think he could make an entry.
Looks good!

 

Great work guys! confusis, I dunno where you get a 1u PSU that is powerful enough to run all that, but I'll just assume they exist somewhere....

 

@ cheap - Nice design Cheaps especially loving the rear mounted CD drive.. neat idea. Is that the intended colour scheme btw? or just place holders?

@ Confusis - Yay a final entry to marvel over thats one crazy mobo/cooling setup dude

 

custom 1u PSU, to go with the custom card and custom board!

I'm looking at a 400w 1u psu for a server build at the moment anyways

 

Is the case allowed to be full atx. I know its not gonna be small but still.

 

@editor - I only use color for collision detection. It also comes in handy when I drop a newer version of a part in and have to tell it apart from the old one. I think this will end up blue with yellow cooling.

I crashed. I got a 'do you want to send an error report' message, so it's official.
It happened because I imported Dark's big-*ss motherboard!

 

ROFL damn that monstrosity of a thing, bet he made in that high poly 3ds witchcraft!

Like the idea of yellow and blue dude never know what weird and wonderfull colours to expect from you though. Just re read Hypnotoad's log and forgot about the 70's fur lol!

 

cheapskate, get a better computer

 

what big mobo?
i wanna crash SU again

 

Didn't you hear the last pod cast? he's still running a P4 I think

Finally got the ribs to start looking how I wanted them also destroyed Darks matx tray in the process






May actually get this finished by the closing date

 

Ive pretty much given up, I cant seem to find a way to make a base that doesnt look crap so here it is, its a little ropey and low poly but you get the idea.

Internals from the Front ^

Internals from the rear ^

Front ^

Rear ^

Internals in the Shell. ^

 

cool idea

 

Awesome concept dude! looks cool , but yeah imo you need to work on that stand.. looks a bit "misplaced" compared to the rest of the build.

 

Right Ive had a last attempt at sorting the base, and added some louvres for airflow. Im still not 100% happy with it though.

 

I think it's a massive improvement.
