Scratch Build – In Progress Project : Sors salutis -by AnG3L(15 April 2011 - Video is UP)

Looking good dude, slowly all start to take shape. The funky paint works a lovely touch, I've said it before but i love stuff like that, keep it going, well done.
I like the web site Idea, I've never done anything like that so you'll have to tell me how you done it.

 

Thanks bro, I will use the same technique I used for the cpu block to do the other blocks too as they contrast wrong IMO. About the website it is very easy to create one for free but you are very limited due to space limitation and bandwidth. If you are interested log in to my website and there is a button there to create a website for free, then you choose a template and add later pictures, contact info etc!!

 

Cheers dude thats a lot for that, I've just put a thread up for help as well as I no nothing about this sort of stuff

 

That Case is so CUSTOM it is a work of ART !

MOD ON .

 

Thanks bro!!

 

Update no 21 and we move on!!
It takes me several days to post an update due to the complexity of my painting techniques and the amount of time needed for the paint to dry.
So lets begin our update in a random order.
First I had to cut off a piece from the motherboard tray as it was conflicting with the top support bar.





I removed the tops from the waterblocks as I decided to paint them too as they were not contrasting right with the already painted cpu block.



Isopon to remove the letters.



Sanding complete and also thread protection added. I used some round stickers in a random way to create a design as you are going to see later on this update and also to protect the screw threads.



After the 5 first steps of the technique. This process takes one working day.







Next day I add the textured lines.





As I told you in the previous update I couldnt find any spare motherboard stand offs so I decided to make some custom ones out of ...... a pen!!! I ve found a pen in the perfect size and also sturdy enough for the job! I ve cut equal size pieces, filled, sanded and then I embedded them on the motherboard tray by melting them with cement glue.









Here is my custom cover for the fan controller. I installed a 1mm acrylic window so you can see the pcb of the controller!





After I ve found some money I went to my friend Chris and cut on the cnc some designs which among them its this custom fan frame.
Its designed in a way that will fit with the ventilation design (fan grill).



I had to cut a circle though to cover the fan.





In order to file the circle perfectly I had to redo the circle design by using a compass set along with a red pen.



I glued the circle on the frame and attached the fan with some double sided tape.





And here it is attached on the chassis. I ve found that using springs looks nice so I might leave it that way.





Also here is the motherboard tray installed. I attached it on the support bar too, by gluing a 10mm acrylic corner so that way I created some kind of design.





Some of the parts I cut on the cnc were those Π shaped covers to hide the gap around the attachment holes.
I ve glued them on the panels with some cement glue.



What is this??????



Yeah 2 boxes with various stuff arrived in my mail!





And after 3 days when the paint was dry enough, I applied 3 layers of acrylic clear glossy coat on the blocks!





And here they are all installed!! I think they match perfectly!!





Thats all for now guys! I hope you enjoyed reading my worklog, till next time, Peace!!!

 

Excellent work on the blocks Alex!

rep rep rep

 

The Van Halen style water blocks are made of so much win.

a pen cut up for motherboard standoffs. Now that's what I call modding. Nice job on the paint. I also like the way your fan turned out. It has inspired me...

 

Awesome blocks!

It would look even better on an ASUS ROG board because of the black/white/red theme.

 

Thanks bro I ll try to update more often even though I have very limited time!

Thanks man!

Thank you brother!!!! Glad you approved it!

Thank you my friend!!!!

Thanks thanks thanks!!!!! Art cheesecake!!

LoL Van Halen and Joe Santriani F T W !!!!!!

Thanks John always a pleasure to see you here!!! I will mod on!!

Thanks for noticing my little addition bro, it means a lot to me!!! Glad I could inspire such a high level modder!!!!!!

Thanks buddy long time no see! I will cover the green and all the slots with plastic protection so it will
be more smooth and balanced! I cant afford to buy a new mobo as I did with Future Schlock for the sake of aesthetics...

 

Sweet dremel skills Alex , and great job on the painting as always

 

Oh my GOD! So 'effin amazing, some wonderful paintwork on the waterblocks, I love your new fan holder more than the first one.

And is it just coincidence that I got my MDPC- X order on the same morning as you?

Mod on bro, I'm astounded by your work!

 

Next on the to-do - list: Painting the card sockets on that MB! I'm sure you can do it!

 

Lovely job as always
