Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Cubeleon

Man that is a thing of beauty. Congratz on a job very well done . +rep

 

Thanks a lot guys

 

You did a very good job, very nice case.

 

Congratulations brinkz. It looks terrific. After four years, what are you gunna do now?

 

Enjoy his new BAD-*SS computer!
It came out great. Congratulations on finishing.

 

Thanks a lot man I don't know what I'm gonna do actually, I'm still thinking. But I'm sure I'll share it with you guys

I was wondering when you were going to reply Yeah I'm just going to enjoy this case, although I could still work on it for months just like oldnewby

 

Beautiful case.Amazing result.Every side of the Cube looks nice.Very well done.

 

There were a few requests for better pictures of the case in the dark, and that made sense since I made the previous ones in broad daylight, with some wood in front of the windows to make it darker Unfortunately, my camera isn't very good with photographing bright lights in the complete dark, it doesn't even let me change settings like ISO and shutter time. I think the mirror reflex camera I'm about to borrow does let me do that I will then be able to post some wallpaper size pictures probably, these just aren't good enough, they're still pretty noisy.











And finally a good picture of the most eye catching piece of cable, that little piece of ATX cable right there Just sleeving isn't the solution, hiding cables is always better in my opinion. Mods that have sleeved wires running all over the place still look messy. For this case, I didn't have to sleeve any cable because so little is visible. I even emphasized the cables from the power supply, because Corsair did such a good job with those wires

 

Oh man, it looks great in the dark - so menacing and purposeful!

 

Looks amazing in the dark .

 

Good job brinkz0r
No i must say very good job.

 

That is awesome

And those who think it needs paint shall recieve a digital punch in the groin.

Congratulations for you!
Perfect the finishing made in its project
You have idea to improve the internal illumination of your project?

 

Thanks a lot everybody

Thanks I totally agree it doesn't need paint, and you seem to be someone that appreciates brushed aluminium in casemods

I'm not improving anything on this mod The lighting is as subtle as I wanted it to be, I really don't like cases with hundreds of leds, illuminating the whole room and screaming for attention. Yes, it does make the case harder to photograph, but I can live with that. The camera makes it look like blue leds also, but it's white in reality. Oh and thanks for the kind words btw

 

That loooks absolutely stunning! THis project is a legend, you hear it mentioned all over the web, even in podcasts it gets dropped in there, and it is finally completed! Which is sad in a way

BTW what displays are those?

 

Is that true? Wow, that's really cool. By just googeling I found two russian websites and one italian, you've seen it on other websites to? If yes, links would be greatly appreciated

The displays are 2x20 PLED displays, HD44780 compatible. The guy who sold me those doesn't sell them anymore unfortunately, because they are way cooler and way more readable than LCD's.

 

Did I just misread this or was that sarcasm?

 

I guess you can read it that way, I didn't mean to though

 

Kk. It's a pity though that these are no longer sold - would've loved to get a hold o' one of these...


They come pretty close to the display in the Scythe Kazemaster, but that's not a PLED display, I think it's VFD, so for anyone searching for something like this, VFD might be the right thing for you.

 

Just wanted to say that this should've been in MoTY, would easily get vote anyways!
