Scratch Build – Complete Na'ir al Saif

Of course I have a good photographic memory ! (Highly helpfull to remember the name of pretty girls in short skirts.)
But I also have a good DVD player

 

How are you going to attach the curved thing to the rest of the case?

Or is that a secret?

 

I think he will drill a few hole tap them and use M4 screw.

 

very nice

looking good - the feet look nice. How much does it weigh so far?

 

Nice work!

 

Love it!

 

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Fabou, only I'll be using M3 screws. It's good to know someone reads the
text as well.

For those that don't understand, these pics may make things clearer.

Thanks. Last time it was weighed it came in at 3.7kg's. So I guess about 4kg's.

 

Wow the way you us your alu I'd expected it to weigh be 5 times as much when you're finished.

I've been out of town for 3 weeks and sat down last night and read the entire thread up to this point. I think I have decided that you are a complete glutton for punishment. I honestly marvel a bit at the thickness of the alu that you use in that you build your cases strong enough to handle the weight of 10 computers, not one. Talk about overkill. Your work again is incredibly detailed. This is going to be another interesting build to watch. Is the outside of this case going to be alu or have some kind of wooden shell again?

 

Still here. Still droolin'.
I'm guessing this one will be a aluminum sculpture.

 

The quality of your projects is consistently astounding.
Really enjoying reading along, oldnewby. Thanks for keeping us updated!

 

I guess I just forgot that you said that.
I do read the text.
But i get distracted a lot too.

Stunning work. Subbed

 

Wow! Perfect details, Grat! Sub'd

 

Thanks a lot everyone.

@voigts, Cheapskate. No wood this time(but I said that about CX1 ), I want
to make an alu skin but Plexi and GRP are also options.

Just quickly to clear up how the parts in the compartment ahead of the PSU join together
heres two more pics to show the fixing methods. I really don't have any secrets and try
to show how everything is made and finished.

 

Thanks for the info buddy, your work so far is more than outstanding! Really cant wait to see that mod finished!!! Mod on brother!

 

The way you give the shape you want to any metal piece is amazing!
For the M3 I think i couldn't have guessed.

 

I love that you screwed the curved panel on with the screws reversed.

 

You should make a carbon-kevlar shell Looks way cooler than plane carbon fibre or GRP since you get a blue 'wave' through the carbon fibre look.
