SketchUp MNPCTech Sketchup Case Design Competition 3

I'd enter it if I could find time

I'll really try this time

 

so any rules? so i can start

 

I think you guys should really do full towers this time. Like with 6 optical bays - 2 3 1/2" bays, multiple H2O loops, lots of fans and radiators and lights. Lots of LEDs and fibre optics and CCFL and, and ...

 

You stop that, John.
If you can come up with a Rocketfish model, you would be half way done.

I started during the last contest. Go for it.


I said free form with suggested(optional) mobility theme so the fold builders could still do what they want.
I figured suggesting a theme would help people get some ideas started. Now we have 2.

-I don't think having a two-category contest vote would be a good idea. Things were pretty messy last time. Imagine doubling that confusion.

 

I'm totally with you there cheaps , free form with a selected theme which the modellers can inturoptite in his/her own way.

 

yup.


GO FOR IT FOLKS!!

we can organise prizes/sponsors later.

First round ends 1st November. Midnight GMT

 

NB: remember to post progress pics to egg the others on and show off

 

I didn't see it anywhere, but are any programs allowed, or is it sketch up only ?

 

We should follow the rules of the last contest, which allowed any 3d software. Just keep the really snazzy renders for the end.

@Confusis - Are you offering to be master of ceremonies this time around? You will need to add some rules and stuff to the first post, or start a new thread.
@Dark - 666 posts!

 

not anymore :O

oh, and started modeling

 

1st November! I'm gonna have to work quickly...

Looking good Dark, further than I've got, like the compact design.

 

well i will try and moderate but i want to compete too. might just copy rules from #2

 

First post modified with rules and regs!

 

Wahay! another design competition I'll be up for it

So is there a definite theme set in stone yet?

 

yep -folding rig, with mobility if you wish

 

sweet! ill enter. just learning to use SketchUp.
1st of November seems a good date for me. means i can work on it during the school holidays!

 

sweet, with this theme i have a headstart, as i'm already drawing one (that i'm actually planning to build too




It's got room for two 9.5 inch cards (ATI 4890), three 3.5" HDDs, dual loops both with 120RX rad and 30mm fan, mATX board, low-profile soundcard, slot-loading DVD, fullsize ATX PSU (18cm) long enough to place 1000W units.

I'll keep working on it to make the design more realistic.

 

how will you get the GFX cards like that xtrafresh? interesting concept.

 

flexible pci-e risers

 

Prizes?


I'm brainstorming right now and I hope to start this weekend
