Case Mod - In Progress Project: PrometheusCU - Update #54 - May 28 2010 - Video Teaser

To be fair to Langer i don't think your comment is correct about ignoring this rig as iirc he has been slowly doing a bit of work but due to school work he has been busy and cant be doing all the work on this mod as fast. I definitely know it is frustrating waiting for that next piece of progress.

Nobody here is to get the impression that I'm not a fan here as I'm waiting in so much anticipation for the next bit of progress that he posts. I can't wait and constantly i wish it had already been posted otherwise I shall just start again on the log so i can still get some sort of a Langer fix.

On that note Langer do you know when the next update be?

Chris

 

refresh my memory
(its been so long)
whats the purpose behind this rig?

 

Disturbed: Looking cool and making people jealous

Weasal: I just read over at RR that he is actually working on it, he says he's doing school like 16 hours/day.

 

Hello all, and greetings.

In response to what's been said above:

16hrs/day is a conservative estimate... My school has classes 9-12hrs a day + just as many hours of outside class work. My comrades say I'm addicted to school - and I'm prone to agree.

I'm afraid my $100,000 education is taking precedence over this little project.

Its been my intent for several weeks to post an update - but time doesn't play fare.

Prometheus still excites me and it's far from a chore, I've been purchasing bits for it periodically but I don't want to sacrifice any opportunities during my studies. Not to mention the fact that financing doesn't come as readily to a student as it did a few months ago when I was working.

On another note - I've recently (yesterday) completed the production which has been sapping my time away from Prometheus these past months. This will translate into further progress on the modding front soon - I'll be sure to document my work here for you all.

Let it be said -again- that I won't be walking away from this project!
I've never abandoned any project I've undertaken and I sure as **** wont start with Prometheus.

It's merely an issue of time and priorities - as much as I would LOVE to mod every day. The way I see it; 1 more year of dedicated, focused, hard work in school will ensure me a lifetime of prosperity... and I cannot let anything (even something as exciting, and fun as Prometheus) get in the way of that.

I'm sure you understand. Take solace in the knowledge that this project WILL come to a close sooner than later (lets just hope clients stop offering me obscene amounts of money to pull my focus away from modding - hahaha).


I've actually been working on it a bit the past week, and I've turned off my phone in a symbol of dedication - this weekend belongs to Prometheus.

 

He replied!

And of course, John was right - study hard, do well, and mod when you can.
(coming from someone who paid the price for not taking higher education seriously)

Looking forward to the weekend updates

 

Oh my god, this is exciting! I'm not sure that I'll be able to move from my computer before you give us an update.

 

Alive.

Good.

 

Any possible link to the production you've finished? Is it a movie? A piece of art?

 

well its good to see that you are still alive

this is going to sound cheesy but oh well
when i first put the url into FF and saw the machine that is Prometheus
ive been inspired ever since to get creative on a PC
up until that point
i thought that a pc was just a box that worked
now with Prometheus, and all of the other mods that are just as good looking
its hard to look at a PC the same
if you can dream it
it can be done
and thats is what is so inspiring about Prometheus

study hard
and keep at it

 

This was the mod that made me post here for the first time. I cant wait to see more updates but im glad Langer has his sensible head on and when he completes his education he will have the time and money to some wonderful modding. I cant wait.

 

Good to hear from you mate, can't wait for some pics.

 

Glad you could stop by! After seeing your course schedule I wasn't expecting you until a break.
I watch.

john

 

Yay! Some form of update.
Finish the education first so you can finish any mod you choose. Good Luck.

 

Hello once again one and all!
In case you forgot... here's one of my later concept sketches for this mod.


I'm proud to say that I once again come before you bearing images.

The quality is sub-par, but when I have the time I'll assemble a great deal of pics using my new camera with some proper studio lighting.

Without further ado...

An overview shot showing the new fittings and One of Two reservoirs installed.



You can see the res is hard piped out from the top port on the mosfet block.
I fabricated a rear mount which can be slotted onto the fan guard.
There is a large gap between the res and the rear mount because I haven't installed the spacers which I cut from carbon which are intended to replicate the 'finned' design of the AquaTube reservoir from AquaCopmuter.
The front of the res actually hangs on the PSU shroud. I'm going to make a small slit in the PSU shroud in which a carbon peg can be slotted.
It took a shockingly long time to conceptualize and install - I'm very pleased. The second res will be mounted directly across the case - parallel - mounted to the copper drive bay shroud.


Here is the top fan guard - the slot is for an e-sata port connected to the Pico-ITX. The filing on this piece is still rough.



Here is the nearly completed modded mac keyboard, complete with carbon bottom.



As mentioned above, there are new fittings... I decided to go black nickel and copper. All the new stuff is 3/8" and came across the pond from Aquatuning.de.
Here's a small sampling.




New dust filters, also from aquatuning.



An SLI adapter to clean the plumbing on the graphics cards. This will require me to mod my customized "PrometheusCU edition" covers... wish me luck




Here are some quick shots of the copper parts, many still unfiled, all still unbent, all still very sexy IMO.









To conclude this teaser, here is - another - mock-up of the base.




Thanks for your patience one and all, I hope you've enjoyed this taste of things to come...
I'll be back soon - and often - but until then, see you 'round the ether.

 

you beautiful son of a bitch, we missed you (and prometheus )

great update

EDIT- FIRST!

 

Wow... Langer is back with style.

I still can't get over how sexy all that copper is. I really can't wait to see it all in place. I a loving the copper Aquatube as well... So much copper!

 

Is that a mistake on the fin there in the middle?

Amazing work though! It's finally coming together!

 

thats getting very impressive
its been so scatterd and hard to picture the finished product

 

DO NOT QUESTION THE LANGER.

But seriously, do you poop copper and carbon fiber? Cuz I'm not aware of many other legal ways to do what you do without going bankrupt. Even with the family business and sponsorships, your wallet must have some sort of "revolving door" policy going on.

But beautiful work as always, you crazy *******

 

Only The Langer can stuff so much win into one post.
