Scratch Build – In Progress Mysterious aluminum project. The project is completed.

The project started with a surfing site Bit-tech. I caught the eye of project author Dondan.
  He seemed to me very interesting and I decided to make his own version of a compact gaming PC.




Another sample from which I repelled.




Here's what I got.
My project I called "Mysterious aluminum.

 

Basic materials that have been applied, you see in this picture. Skeletons and scrap buildings.

 

He began to cut the panels and openings under the rear connectors of the motherboard and graphics card.









Also, the overall size of future housing and overall design were identified.
I decided to limit the shape of a parallelepiped and use black acrylic plus vinyl film with black textured aluminum.
Body dimensions get the height of 250 mm, length 350 mm, width 186 mm.

 

Nice work so far!

 

Continue. After painting, I began to prepare components.







The video card Pflit GTX 660Ti did not want to run an extension cord and had to replace it with a less productive Gigabyte GTX560Ti.

Yes, really like. My project does not claim originality. I like the project: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=278212

 

Looking good so far

 

Most overlooked body painting matt black acrylic paint Montana Black.

 

The radiator for the CPU cooler was taken by Ice Hammer and renovated by a Fan Cooler Master Jet flo 120 red.





As a result of the tests the processor heated up to 62 degrees Celsius at 100% loading of all cores.
We used the program OCCT 4.4.1.

 

I continue. Installed LED lighting RGB from the graphics card. The backlight is switched on the rear side.








The motherboard is in place, packed trains. The layout of the final cable.

 

My exclusive CPU cooler.

 

The metal frame was decorated with black acrylic 3 mm thick.
On acrylic bonded automotive film with the texture of shredded black aluminum.
All items were cut on a laser machine.

 

The final photos.
The project is completed.

 

Came out looking sharp!

 

That looks very nice, top work

I would love to be able to build something like that myself, but I have neither the tools or the talent to be able to do it.

 

Thank you! In fact, everything is very easy. Do not be shy, you have to try. Skill comes with experience.
I am still very far from being the pillars of modding.

 

Brilliant build! I had to re read the thread as I couldn't believe it wasn't brushed aluminium.

What are the case dimensions? Also, what are you running in there?
I really like the graphics card parallel to the motherboard arrangement, it looks compact and well ventilated.

 

Case Dimensions: height 250 mm, length 350 mm, width 186 mm.
Unfortunately the video card for many years and it would be necessary to make maintenance. Map is heated to 65 degrees Celsius. Processor with a 100 percent load up to 62 degrees. Programme OCCT 4.4.1, the processor without overclocking.
