Small update .

Midplate/floor cut from dark red tint 3mm acrylic, then covered in black vinyl film.



Covered with masking tape and then the pattern is drawn on. The pattern is the same design as the window cut on the side panel.



Out with Mr.Scalpel



Finished design

 

Installed, and a couple of rough dark shots ;










Be back soon with the watercooling installed.

Very nice looking rig duder

 

Nice build



When I read the title I thought it was going to be a 2001: Space Odyssey themed build

 

Glad to be on board again, it's coming along nicely and the LED strip looks great (an unbiased opinion if ever there was one...)
Don't think many would be brave enough for a Space Odyssey theme, you would always been wondering when (not if) it would say "I can't allow you to do that Dave".

 

Thanks all

Another small update

Had time to sort the window to follow my original black/red design.

Black tint and Dark Red tint 3mm acrylic.







Missus had a bit of an accident, nothing serious, so i can't do anything too noisy at the moment hence the brief posts.

Should be back to normal next week,

Cheers,

Mark

 

That looks awesome Mark! I remember how you were showing me that you gonna do it, now I can see that was really cool idea with this vinyl film. I would like to see it in real.
Sorry to hear about your missus, I hope she gets better soon.

 

It looks good mrdbristol. It was nice to see it IRL at Campus Party and you sure got inspired from p0pe's venyl work

Keep it up, it looks awesome!

 

Specifically that cables are?

On the web appear to SATA cables

few meters you used? 4mm or 6mm?

thank you, sorry my English.

 

I used 4mm for my braiding as it was just single wires.

 

Update time

As i've been on nursemaid duties looking after the missus, i've been confined to desktop mods - braiding and soldering etc..

Wasn't a great fan of the floppy bezel cover on the front of the case ( does anyone still use them ? )

The easy option would of been a fan controller or card reader to plug the space, but i wanted something subtle that kept the front smooth.

All the way from China, via an auction site, a simple USB HD44780 display



As with 99% of these, they are a blue display

Managed to find a Red on Black screen , so just needed to solder the screen to the USB circuit board



Then out with the hacksaw, ansd some dark tint acrylic to make the fascia



And voila ;

 

Cheers Jon, your reservoir will be fitted soon

The colour i wanted for the water loop was a deep red, or blood red.

So i contacted someone who clearly ( i'm sure there's a joke there ! ) knows his stuff when it comes to dyes - Mayhem Dyes.

No stranger to Bit-tech, Mick/mayhem was a great help and very kindly agreed to sponsor me what was needed.

I've spoilt the surprise now, but guess what's in the box ?



Still wandering ?



A rainbow of liquid goodness

Enough dyes for this build, and plenty more to experiment with, top stuff

Lets meet the team





Should have some fun mixing them at the weekend, and fitting the water cooling.

Back soon ( barring accidents )

Cheers,

Mark

 

Hey Mark, I like that lcd. Looks cool. I wonder how that blood red will look like, I remember was looking for blood red for Cube ages ago and never found truly bloody color.

 

nice clean build, I'll be keepign an eye on it

 

Should be interesting to see how the fluid comes out great job on that vinyl cutting too!
