Case Mod - In Progress [project] Apple Cube - final photos !!

That is one tight little package, nice work!

 

This looks amazing been following it and you certainly have a knack for making it look very sleek. Can't wait to see what you do with the outer shell!

 

You'd never know unless told, looks very good.

 

Hi!

It's not a big update, just some photos of the assembly in the cube : it fits !







For the moment I'm working on the top of the case, I cut all isn't necessary to let the air circulate.

Soon some news !

 

That is looking great!

I would happily have that in my house.

 

you painting the exteria love the work mate !

 

looks really nice!

it is a shame that the case is not transparent to show all the work you've done inside

 

It's been a while now since my last update !

I was really busy with my work, with this


to this :



Big pressure inside ! But now it's done so I can breath and post some news

Ok, so now just a little update before a big one, I work on the mettalic part inside the plexi cube


drawing:




As I cut many surface, I must re-rivet the part which serves to hold in place








finitions :




As I decided to keep the apple and illuminated in white, I cut the mettalic part, just behind the other apple on the plexi.


The holes to let in the jigsaw




and after a little filling


That's it ! So nothing really amazing, but just wait the big one about the work on the plexi part which I have totally modified !

++

 

amazing work! this is by far THE best Cube mod I have ever seen!!

what kind of metal are you using to manufacture custom parts you've made? aluminum? link to where I can buy some?

POw

 

Tks a lot for the compliment !

Yes this is aluminum, I use the alu of my FD Array case, so I think it's not the cheaper you can find

 

truly spectacular metalwork!
can't wait to see whats next!

 

Excellent work

I love the designs of the apple cases and love modding existing cases.
The thing is that with a modification build you are locked down to the design of the original case or what ever you are using be it a toaster or an Imac or old pc case. You have to make the hardware fit in, where as when making a scratch build you can make it to fit the hardware.


Keep up the good work.

 

teaser ...



soon !

 

very interesting

 

Just gotta keep drawing it out dont ya? Imma find that Lawyer that Cheaps hired...

 

havent looked at this log for a while, nothing to see here... Kidding! looking REALLY good!! :roll:

 

Hi !
@ALL: I really appreciate that you appreciate my work

End of the teaser (I think you've waited long enough)

First, this is the cut I need to do to realise the entire assembly of the cube

drawing


dremel's cut


filling



(this two holes are used to fix the anti-vandal switch'support)

And the chassis almost finish, just need to do some finishing and be painting




On the last we can an "accessorie" I create to fix the AC/DC entry of the picoPSU

The next pictures arrives, the time to reduce and host !

 

The next

To broke this massive visual of the cube I cut the same existing cut on the bottom to let trought the cables, on each side




the first !


the second !


and the third !

Then I cut this news feets a little too high





The I cut the top of the cube, I remove surfaces as much as possible to increase the convection power of the cube







Now the switch's emplacement




















Easy system to fix this support, I drill 2mm holes and heat 3mm bars to be sealed in the plastic




The next with the paint arrives

 

the next and end with the paint !

Aller suite et fin avec la peinture :

the cube entirely sand with the P240 paper




Paint






Switch support




Mounted


The cube fully assembled










Need to do a little P1000 sanding and some polishing and this part will be finishing.

That's it for today !!

 

OH GOD , Why is this build soo HOT !!!!!!
