Case Mod - In Progress Project : Not Another Stacker.

You're doing really good, the only thing I don't really like are the air outlets, they remind me of a pig's nose

 

awesome work one minor thing tho, i'm sorry to say but i'm not too keen on the two center/side vents.. i really like the front one tho. Maybe the side one's shouldn't stick out so far, maybe they should be more flush, and maybe with a bit of a rounded upper edge? - just my 2c.
The case looks really good i have to say however! & the twin front reservoirs look excellent

 

agrees with mvagusta

looks like somekind of nostrils lol

but again i think your work is very creative!! very casual and sleek!
love the idea on the res being at the front!!

keep it up!

 

^^ I was thinking the same thing! Looking really good though. I love the ideas. Home much do you reckon it's going to weigh when done?

 

Grifter what trade are you in? you clearly do this type of work as a job in the workshop there? do you do prototype models of car boby kits? i am guessing its something like that?

oh nice case BTW, makes me feel happy in trousers! ROFL!!

 

Tbh i did consider tooling up off the final case and making the parts out of glass , but i dont intend on making more than one of these so really theres no need to go to the trouble of making a set of tools.
When you say insane , is that a good or bad thing ^^.

 

Loes all,

@Cheapskate - Yeah i guess your right about the metalwork side of things but as this was my first mod i thought it would make things a bit quicker, next time ill do it myself i promise.
And ye you have a good idea with the power button.

@ various dudes - Pig's nostrils?...really ....o man dunno what to say I kinda like them so i dont know if i will change em but i might do and thanks for your honest opinions.

@ kickarse - Dunno but not as much as it looks i will weight it and find out what it is at the mo.

@ Burnout21 - Im a modelmaker where im working at the mo its mainly prototype plane stuff interiors etc . I have done alot of car prototype work and a little train stuff.
But I am truely glad you liked it dude.

 

Might be another Stacker, but it sure the hell doesnt look like one Very nice, looks like you put a lot of thought into the design. Always a treat to see some custom casting being used too. Subscribed!

 

I was thinking more gorilla nose, like the thing on the hood of the last TransAms...But nah, keep them.

 

Astonishing.. Absolutely.. Love the curves.

Gotta subscribe.. Just cannot help myself..

 

Very nice start. Love the lines and design all over.

P.S. I would call it "Finally something else then just a Stacker"

 

beatiful ..... absolutely beautiful ..... I love the soft shape of it so far ........

and I for one don't think that the inlets look like animal noses at all ,..... they are great ...........

Loes dudes,

Not had a chance to do anything else at the mo but got my hoseclamps from the other side of the pond , so i though id stick a quick piccy up.
Thanks for all the feedback so far guys much appreciated.



Got these after reading the guide watercooling 101 on the modding page , just love em.

 

A very good thing, lol.

 

Wow this thing's turning out to be a super sweet case! I think the top vents give it character, and totally separates it from any other case out there.
I wish I had access to those types of materials you have at your work. You are quite fortunate! I'll be watching this one progress. Continue on, Maestro!

 

Bod is correct, the vents add to the excellent & unique style of the case, and as cheapskate mentioned, they do remind me of the air inlets on the hoods of a couple of cars out there Good on ya for sticking to your guns and standing by your design The hose clamps look excellent and the waterblock looks good aswell btw

 

Loes All,

Didnt have alot of time this weekend to get stuck in but i managed to do a couple of little bits.

The easy bit to see is the rebate in the non rad side panel , i did it really just for the sake of symmetry but i do think it looks better for it.
Not rocket science just abit of routing.





You can also see i have filled and rubbed the center areas of the side panels ready for spraying.

I have done quite a bit of filling all over but with a camera as crap as mine its hard to show in pics

Soz that the updates a bit crap but i had to work , will try and work harder this week to get a better update for next weekend.

 

Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it finished, do you have to pay for these materials your using or are they left overs or something?

 

I get most of it for free , lucky really

 

Loes all,

Another small update ...

Waiting for data at work so i got a little time to make my grill to cover the fan of the hard drive caddy.
Not the most outstanding part but its done never the less.



I used Ureol again and sanded it to shape.



Then filled the edges/joins and there ye have it one fan cover.
I did intend to use the black bezels that came with the case but i figured i had done so much i may as well keep the front of the case as modded as possible.



I can start to see the end of the case building now , i just have a few bits to do then its painting time w0000teh!
