Case Mod - In Progress Project: Distiller update 10th nov

I think it looks awesome with the red.

Contrary to what you said, I think the 2 layers of material makes it look better. Black mesh behind it as mentioned is a good idea.

 

^ agreed

 

lol im begining to get swayed
might go 2 piece with the top powdercoated red and the bottom black then some mesh behind

also ordered my psu today so ill need to buy more braid for that

 

PCing it will be $ but could look nice
or you could just spray it and it could look better
house of kolor
enjoy the endless choices

 

nah ill just get tom at chilled pc to do it
he powdercoated my case for a good price so i dont think this will be to bad

 

small update
got the cad drawings for the fan grill design done and did a quick cut out on plain paper to check the size etc

photos dont do it any justice though.

anyway the idea is 2mm alu on the bottom and 3mm red tint plexi for the top then some black mesh behind the lot




sorry about the lack of updates but ive been proper busy recently :crying:

 

Whoever did that drawing rocks!

That is going to look really nice when you get the real deal on there.

 

Cheers
just out of curiosity what program did you use to make that?

 

I used a combination of AutoCAD and Inventor. Being a student, I have them available at home along with some others.
How well does it fit?

 

ah i used auto desk inventor a school and autocad at college.
and the holes line up perfectly and the cross is just the right size in relation to the case

spot on

 

So cool.....

 

Got my Rampage II Gene in today
Also sleeved the psu but i think im going to drop the braided tubing the plain black tube looks better IMO.
Still got alot of cable management to do

Also got a XFX GTX 260 Black edition on its way

anyway heres a few pics

 

Is that a Dark Power Pro in there? If it is, what type of power connector is on there? I have one and it has a square connector instead of the usual kettle plug. Does yours have one of these? I only ask because the extension wouldn't fit with my unit and I want to know if I'd have to make my own extension cable if I bought one.

Looking good so far man!

 

Yup it is a dark power pro 650w and it uses the standard kind of tapered kettle plug

 

Strange...

 

Got the fangrill made heres a wee pic

 

That looks very nice!

 

thanks for designing it dude i turned out really well

 

thought id post up a few pics since ive done so more work to this:

made a start on the cable managment but its still going to be a nightmare in this case.

Fangrill

got all this to tidy im going to have a hard time putting the sidepanel on.



all i need to do is sort out a cpu and it will be running on air.
then i just need to buy a gpu and NB block and a few more rotary fittings

 

Ain't that the truth for all of us.

Nice build and a good job!
