Gosh Alex, I don't know which to vote for. I've seen you do both and they're very well done. Etching sounds more awesome though.

 

Thanks mate, well I ll do both then ;P lol

 

Time for another update guys!
Yesterday I did some more adjustments on the mobo tray. I removed 2 mm from the bottom in order to align the holes for the brackets with the mobos i/o plate. Also changed the screws with rivers on the support plate because its not going to be removable and also its more sturdy as the screws is not big enough.



Then I had to install the rad holders on the low department. First some measures and marks.





Holes for the screws. These holders will be removable.



Attached with countersunk screws.





Then I removed it to drill holes for the bottom screws.



Perfect!





Then the same procedure for the other rad holder. First for the bottom as the top connections will be different on that.





As I was working a guy came from DHL with a big package. Wonder what is it???

Corsair goodies!!!

Corsair F240 SSD's for the win!!!! One of the fastest ssd's out there!











Corsair Dominator - GT 6GB @ 2000 Mhz











Corsair HX1000 PSU. There is a possibility to use the new AX Professional series Gold from Corsair, I wait for their release, if they released on the time limit of my job I will use it instead.
Check the new PSU here : http://www.corsair.com/products/ax1200/default.aspx







Modular cables









Back to work now. In order to attach the second rad holder I needed some spacers for the screws. I went to a couple of stores with no luck, so I told my self, why dont you do some gothic ones by yourself? Yes gothic ones....!!!

So I used this weicon aluminum repair stick. You work with it as a plasticine, you can give it any shape you want and when it dries you can drill it, sand it etc.



First cut a small piece:



Then you have to work with it as with plasticine for a couple of minutes so the different chemicals will blend together.



I used a screw to give it the primary shape and let it drie.





Cut it down to the desired length and also file it a little.



Now lets go outside to play with the rotary tool and some bits!



Aluminum engraving bit and lets rock!





I am going to paint them afterward but for now it only assembly and check time.



Industrial with art. Many parts of this case will have an artistic touch but the overall look will be more industrial.







Thats it for now guys. Till next time, keep on rollin'.


A special thanks to my sponsors:

 

how do you come by CNC equipment?

 

You have some nice new hardware there Alex, very nice . That aluminum repair stuff is great, I have a very similar product which is made for all purpose metal use, same concept though. You can even tap it when it's cured.

 

Goooooooooooood stuff bro!

I like the hand work your doing those spacers are genius its all about improvisation!

Keep it up

 

Dammm mate this looks like amazing once again a big project
Keep it coming

 

I didnt exactly understand the question, please be more clear Lack of English you see ;P

Thanks J, I didnt know about Weicon products, a friend of mine its local distributor so he introduced me to these new products. They have a great selection and also I am going to use
the titanium for my last touches before powder coating!

Thanks bro I was like "shall I add that extra touch?" and I told my self, once my creation does its job I am fine with that!

Thanks buddy!

 

Not been around for a few days & a big whoosh of quality progress on display , I voted for some engraving because I believe you could pull it off really well & will add that extra pinch of awesome .
Really nice new hardware too .

 

Thank you my friend for your kind words, I will have to study a lot again to come up with a design, I might mix gothic art with the rest of the theme but it wont be an easy task as I like my overall design to be in harmony I will do my best !

 

Very nice update! I'm always looking for little tips for materials and repair. But then You use the plasticine as a building material for spacers. Sweet. Glad to hear your going to do both coat and etch, can't wait to see the patterns you come up with. Man, you had that bit a little too close to the digits there bro. I'll check on your Facebook after I leave here.

 

Thanks my friend, when I work close to my fingers I use low speeds and also be extra careful
It will be nice to have you there my friend, I always love to meet new people and friends!

 

Yum. Looks like you got some nice stuff from Corsair.

Why not use a bench vise or something similar? It would $uck if ye don't get updates due to injury

 

I do have, but when I work with soft materials which I can handle and with bits that wont damage unless I force it myself in my hand ( ) I dont use them. I do wear eye protection, gloves etc when its needed, protection comes first always!

 

Don't take it the wrong way when I say I don't like projects that are all crazy and artsy, but for some reason I love yours. It's awesome your combining the industrial and art.

Schweet hardware btw. I bet those Corsair SSDs are going to be wicked fast.

 

Great work so far , you are a true master my friend, nice hardware , what mobo will it have?

 

Its always the effort that counts and the dedication, each mod for me its unique when the modder does its best, thanks again for your kind words my friend and indeed these ssd's are wicked fast!

Thanks buddy, not sure yet, I am aiming on EVGA hardware but who knows, its too late for that now

 

Hi Angle,

Seen your project for the first time in CustomPC mag

Keep up the good work and can't wait to see this project

 

Man, i was simply speechless when i saw your project ... Aluminum is the most beautiful material to make a case.

Congratulations on your initiative and go ahead!
