Case Mod - In Progress Project: Water Inside: 23/8 | IT'S FINISHED! CHECK IT OUT!

Okay, so, this project is originally written in swedish.. and I really don't have the energy to translate everything, so ya'll have to look at the pictures, but later on the updates will have comments written in english

Ok, have started the planning.
Sketsh in sketchup och some other godies.























This is how the case will look in the end, glossblack with highpolished front.

 

This is the frontpart that I am working on
















One done, one more to go






The project continues

 

12/10 - 06

I have tweaked a little with the sketch, and I did a hopefully better solution to the design. You can see what's done



Frame sawed to exactly 1cm


Why? To get the front thicker


Why?? So that the Aluminium metalsheet wont brush against the DVD-driver (Or what the hell you call it in english ;D)


This is how the loop is supposed to be.


IOW: Pump - radiator - radiator - cpu block - [gpu block] - tank - pump - osv osv osv

Have glued on the frame.. superepoxy is strong


Drawn out the lines for the logo, that I will cut with the dremel

 

Still 12/10

Have started to cut the logo.

DREMEL ACTION!






And some random photos



I can see the light! (Ja ni ser att flänsarna är täta, vilket har sina fördelar och nackdelar)



Inside a tube :roll:

 

14/10 - 06

Went down to the workshop en fixed some stuff

It was to much work with the dremel, so I used the jiggsaw instead... was a bit easier



I'm pleased with the result





I had some trouble mounting the fan. The holes had UNC threads, så neither M3 or M4 would fit. So i made the threads M4.





Mounted the radiator in the back





I discovered that the sidepanel hit the radiator, so i took away a little from the sidepanel

 

Update 20/10 - 06

Got my parcel with a BIX2 and a 5,25 reservoir :arrow:
Everything is beeing leektested







Update 21/10 - 06

Got some spikefeets.. just don't know what I am going to have for protection





You dont want to put the computer on your feet with those

 

Update 22/10 - 06

Found a .. dont know what the name is in english.. but ill use it for draining the system









And the Beehhheeaaast!




Update 1/11 - 06

Went down to the workshop for 4 hours, feels like I didn't get anything done

Started puttying the frame.




Cut out the 120mm fanhole


Made a homemade electriccablelist




Made the mountingholes for the rad



And the crazy modder with puttydust on the nose ;P

 

Update 2/11 - 06

went down to the workshop

Started with drawing out the radiatortemplate


Cut out and a list is testmounted, note that it isn't fixed, it is just for testing. Can't glue it until I have painted the case


Radiator testmounted, all screws will be insexskcrews.


Put on the feet, sexy




Pretty tight


Ill have to thank elmor For these babies, You will notice later on what they are for


After the hard work it was time for a cheeseburger!


Finnished the grinding on the putty and painted it with basecoat. Pretty smooth






Polished some of the stainless steel just for fun




Started with the "case" for the pump, that will be polished.

Hey, nice to see you up in this forum too.. gl with yout project dude..

 

Thanks mate.
Im just hoping to get some more comments and tips. Its nice to have the project up here and there

 

Very nice work log. Lots of pics and info.
Keep up

 

Those models appear to be made in sketchup, where did you find the sketchup components for the psu/motherboard/rads/fans/drives? They're extremely detailed!

 

i think you vga block will really suffer if you set up your loop like that

 

byebye 69 Dude : ( :cry:

anyway nice i subscribed

 

Lookin good, subscribed

 

@ luis_pedro_Sato: Thanks!

@ ChiperSoft: I got them from http://scc.jazzle.co.uk/

@ modster: Why is that?, Another guy looked at the loop, and in both his and my oppinion this is the best loop that you can get. It actually doesn't matter in what way you put the components.

@ zhangmaster12: 69, huh? Thanks, appriciated

@ bballs91: Thanks!

UPDATE 3/11 - 06

Ok, testmounted the front frame and it was a nice fit.


Yesterday I ordered some white LED's for the front (Will have lighted plexi behind the aluminiumsheet)

Nice and smooth.




The radhole from the inside of the case


Continued with the pumpcasing


Glued the edges. Later I will putty and paint the case.. I will also make the hole by the suctionfitting more round and nicer



Well, it seems like people have trouble with bending plexi. So I had to try before I will do it on the real thing. I cant really understand what the problem is. It was actually pretty easy to bend it...?
And as you can see I didn't burn the plexi and i didn't get any "bubbles"


I used a crappy black n' decker heating gun.. well, black & decker is a budget trademark


I also painted the BIX 2, cause the paintjob was absolutely awful.
But now I got a nice paintjob with some mirrorshine. I will take better pics later.


My finger eh ,, As I said I will take a better pic so you can see the mirrorshine better.


Thats all for now

not bad so far keep it up ^^

 

that looks cool a littel tight in the case though

keep up the good work

 

@Trash_master: Thanks, ye I know that it will be a bit tight, but it will look cool in the end I hate to have things sticking out from the case.. it makes it so hard to move

@HourBeforeDawn: Gee, thanks

So, got my white leds and resistors from lysdiod.com. These babies are supposed to lighten up the plexisides in the front.
I ordered 10 Leds, and I will use 6 in the front, so the last4 will go to something else. Dont know what, maybe lightning up waterblocks or so
