Project: QbiX Water Cooled \o/ (aluminium cube)

Right I dint mod for 2 day’s because I just got my drivers licence, so I had to pick up my mate and go to the mac drive. (golden moments )


I still needed some stuff, so I got into my car and whent tho the local hardware shop.



With the nice weather the dwarf rabbit of my sister is loose in the backyard, the temptation was hard to resist but I dint mod him in the end.


The mitre box works like a charm.




The bottomplate is the only plate where ill be putting in pop rivets, cant see it anyway when its on the ground


Closeup rivet.


And the whole thing with evrything in place, it was a bit dark and the cam dint make a nice picture, not even with the flash on.

 

I wear my "No I will not fix your computer" shirt whenever I mod too

 

casemoddin geeks like us need to keep our reputation on every photo.

 

Aaaigt some new pix

So time for a quick tutorial to make a baseplate.

First get 4 pieces of alu and saw it in the mitre box.


Then mark the places for the holes.


Then just whack in a centerpoint for your drill and convenience then just drill the holes (duh)


And u end up with this


After that its just a matter of tapping in some screw wire or put in some pop rivets.

A lot of work but well worth it as u can see

 

lmao sweet man


Better call the animal abuse line now

 

If the mods don't kill you for that huge sig, I will hunt you down and do it myself

Nice mod there sir, kind of reminds me of an xbox sorta...

 

Yea that sig is amazing I want one of those to

And I've head that before

 

I kinda noticed their werent to many reply’s in my thread, what do I have to make to get you peepz wild

Todat it was time to mount some plexi into the frame.

I marked some holes and started drilling.





Then just clamp a piece of plexi behind it, mark it and drill it sloooowly.






Then I made a little hole for the fan, I did this using my 7 hole saw in my faithful Bosch handdrill

Actually I find it a small wonder that it went right the first time without breaking the pexiglas





/me placed a sidepannel just for the fun of it, u can see its getting shape a bit

 

extremely well done... and i dont know how you resisted the temptation to "Mod" the bunny, you are clearly a very patient man.

I love the look of the side panel, hard work pays off.

 

Mod the bunny! Mod the bunny!

Cool project so far. Love the rivets and the alu/plexi combo.

 

it's getting really hot!

 

hehe

Yeh i know, I changed it. I just wanted a big sig for a day...Felt like i should stand out

 

hehe, the title "Banned/Suspended" would make you stand out a lot

Looking great man!

 

ah, nice update =)

do you use a battery-powerd drill for all tyour work? even for the ****load of holes you've just drilled?? =) if so, respect for that lol

 

Nice alum. work. Looking forward to seeing this one progress along. GJ.

 

Hell no, only the ones I cant reach with the drillpress (if thats the correct word)

 

wow an amazing job~ well done

 

how thick are those sheets of alumium, i hade some 1/16 and it cut fine with a few passes of a razor blade with a super clean edge

 

wpw this mod is looking extremely nice.... i can tell it will end up good.... good work so far, i'll be watching closely

 

i absolutely love what you are doing for the case. you seem to be taking your time, not rushing into things, so your not making constant mistakes. AWESOME! job on the sides. I hope the updates will be just as nice as they have been
