Scratch Build – In Progress Project: LAN Truck (My First Mod)

This is an amazing mod. I don't know if someone asked this already but what site did you get that truck from? I wanna see if they have something other than a MB truck, but like a semi.

 

looks really good what are temps like? Airflow looks a bit cramped with all those wires....

 

Very cool and original. I love the colour too So do you reverse it into LAN halls? *beep beep beep*

 

Hi all finally done some more work on the truck. I have added in some fans to pull air in from the front. This blows the air over the top of the TFT and also on the ram.



Should have the cover put back on over the weekend just got to cut out the holes on the mill. Over the last few weeks been busy building up one of my new RC trucks.

Now to build a PC into this one!!

Going to take me awhile before i start/think to attempt fitting one in my new truck! Back to the current truck. Got the front cover on to the truck now, finally looking sweet

Damn man, that truck looks so good! I wish I had the will and skills to make something like that. One thing though, I'm sure that you can do a little cable trimming as it's gotta be killing airflow. The ribbon cable in front of the PSU can especially decrease airflow and increase temps.

 

Axle Stand

Hi all, Done some more to the truck. Created some axle stands. This is to take the weight of the axles. Also created a holder for cables from the tft under the chassis, the jacks clip on and the cable is stored in a dummy looking fuel tank!






Truck lights


To answer the previous question, the temp in the case, actually stays quite cool cpu stays around the 30 mark!

nice job

 

Hey Ant,
nice to see you're back on this wonderful project!

What are the dimensions of your second truck?

BTW, mediacoretex please don't reply to posts including all the pictures!!!

 

This is really really cool...

 

Ant never stopped...

 

That is so sweet man.

 

that tanker would look pretty sexy!
Did you ever put any thought into putting the PSU in the other trailer? It would prob save on heat and space. from the size of it it looks like it might fit right up in the front and there still might be room for the keyboard and everything. I could be wrong, but there wasn't a whole lot of pictures of the trailer for me to see. then the wires of the psu could be hiden under the hitch, maybe even plugged in someout so they could be easily seperated.
Just a thought.
reguardless this is an awsome case. I love all of these cases out of things that were never meant to be cases. fantastic!

 

The box trailer is for carrying the peripherals such as the keyboard/ mouse/ etc.

It was looked at, but to keep everything neat it all had to go into the main body.

 

*drools* that's Amazing

Thanks, as kane says it works best to keep it all in the main truck, takes up less space on the desk as well The pics below are with the Blue neons on. The stands really light up well!

Side USB cover

Hi all, after all this time I have finally made the cover for the usb/sound header on the side of the truck. I have machined in the logos under each of the ports with a .3mm cutter
