Case Mod - In Progress Prodigy Casemod : Final 08-21-2013

with bionic Noisblocker I meant the eLoops, sadly only as 120mm fitment avaliable..

 

small update
The front is quite finished, including all mounting points.

All 3 Layers side by side


A little more in perspective


TADAAA


Maybe a solid Window for starters?
Including a layer for layer addition of the front







Gpu Side too


that´s it for now...

 

new Sidepanel arrived

Finally I got my parts
Just mobile pics, propper stuff to come later
Sidepanel with Aquaero5 mouting, on one side, other side is just vented

 

As some allready know I got my panels from the lasercutter and did some modifications to the case.

At first I drilled some holes...
to fit a mini Himuro next to the PSU


Then it was about time to mount the Buttons of a V351 propper to the case rear side and add a Powerplug for the Fans on my Mora


Fitment of my designed Panels is not so bad, sadly not perfect, mostly because of the lack of Original measurements and drawings.
The mounting holes from the Sidepanels to the case will get some tuning with a small File and then it should be done.

General Fitment on the case is nealy Perfect as I wanted them to be.




even the Original Front will fit nicely as it would be done this way originally. At least good enough for me.


Sideblade/Sidepanel with Aquaero bracket.

(here you can spot the Floorpanel underneath the 140mm Fan)

:facepalm: Blurry shot of the Fangrill of the 240 rad


Final Shot of the GPU side, where I testfitted the new floorpanel with a 140mm Fangrille cutout, fan, rad and Radgrille
The radiator if off center to do a rasier connection from the 140mm rad on the floor to the GPU inlet in a nice bend, and second to that I get the space I need for the Aquaero on the the other side.


Now I need to get rid of the sharp edges, bad fitment and scratched off all the Panels.
​

 

Experimented with the loop. To cut the story short, I had to rotate the top mounted radiator and so the bayres had to go :-(

Options would be a res-x Gen1 EK Pump-Res or my taller Res-X 2 150 Advanced.
Tried some things.
V1 :


V2 :


Personally I chose V3 :

Mostly out of the reason that I´m not THE fan of lots of rigid extensions.

Final Pics with the Sidepanels on.
CPU Side



GPU Side :


Loop will be :
Pump -> floor 140 in near PSU -> Out near front, Nice Arc to GPU in (90° Angled fitting lying on the mobotray) -> GPU Out, Fillport above GPU (seen in V3) out to External Radiator -> Ext Rad in @ CPU Side (seen in the pics from yesterday) -> Raystorm in @straigt fitting -> Raystorm out (angled fitting) -> Flowmeter -> Radiator -> Tempsensor -> Res -> Pump...

​

 

It´s Alive but a ****load of work is still do do.
Front and Sidepanels need paint
Wiring is a mess and just a quick´n diry job
Koolance VL3N wiil be fitted to the Rear fittings so I can add my Mora.
GPU Waterblock needs to be fitted, this will happen in the next days.

Tidied up the wiring and added some light.

 

Kind of Prefinal is done.
I´m happy how it turned out and by now I quite like the decent lightning.
Lots of hidden things to tidy up and still not quite an Idea what to do with the sidepanels. Spraypaint, wrap or powdercoating are the options.
At first I thought of a colorchange but the more I move towards a finished system, the more I´d like to keep it as simple as possible, so flat white will be the color.
As for the Windows, I could do a solid or clear plexi ones

A Very big thank you to my main Sponsors, my wallet and my creditcard ;-) Nothing like that would have been possible without you two.
