Case Mod - In Progress Project: Xionized - 2nd @ TBCL

@Teyber: Phasechange wouldn't fit right... and watercooling looks much better.

 

The CPU block has arrived. If you're very quiet you can hear it scream: "mod me!"

There goes the inner piece...

Cocaine anyone?

And it fits.

That's how it's supposed to be. I'm gonna put some black aluminium that's a little smaller on top of it. That way it will totally match the style we created earlyer.

I started making the corners kinda round, starts looking good imho.


More soon.

 

lol cocaine. When do the other wc parts come in?

 

I don't know :/

The other orders are still in status "back order" :|

 

i love the custom hold down plate.

man i love scroll saws. I actuallly bought a new one yesterday


its what jesus used and what ghandi used to keep the countries together and have peacefull protest.

 

Most of the modding stuff came in this week.
I kinda started mounting some thing just to get an idea on how it will look.

Led's were put into the front. But from behind, it ain't pretty.

Solution: some black aluminium to cover the mess up. The pointed shape wasn't planned originally, but otherwise, the alu would interfere with the rest of the front.

The wires going into the case trough a tiny hole. I'm still gonna put some mesh on them of course.

Some other modding stuff...

I made a small cut in the alu for the wires to go trough.

More soon... (I hope)

 

nice to see you back!

is that the 18watt ddc or the other one? (aka mcp 350 or 355)

 

It's a Laing DDC-1T

The reservoir arrived today. It was made by Peter Brinkhuis (thanks!. It might seem a little strange to put this kind of reservoir into the case, but it's just temporary until Blackcrown dumps his girlfriend and starts modding again. I already put in the fillport and the fittings, looks like this:

 

wow very nice case, I really like where this is going

 

Update-time!

I started fillin' up the bays. First to go in was the pump, which I placed onto a quickly made platform. This looks well euhm 'not nice', but it won't be visible, so strenght is more important than looks.

Next: the radiator, drilling the holes...

... with this baby I bought yesterday. Works like a charm, way better than a regular drill :/

And mounted. On the down side of the radiator I did exactly the same.

Some dead HDD's to see if it fits. It does, but what did you expect?

Hmm... We've got meshX, we've got one ugly radiator?

One, two, three... Bending time!

Anyway to make a long story of bending and rebending short:






The soldering work during CJ Live was done really poor. Time to put in some new leds

Sir, can you put out the light please?



More soon...

 

looking good, the top panel looks superb..
and the mesh looks outstanding on the rad.

 

what wbdog206 said X2

rad looks really good with the mesh

 

That mesh job looks sweet. I may do that to my rad too!
-And the local dollar store has a sale on mesh trash cans!

 

nice work dude

 

Sucks about your broken acrylic, tha scoring method only works up to 3/32" or something thin like that, and you need to score it not cut into it. Nice looking mod, I like your universal theme.

 

The CPU block in its place, still without LEDs but I like it already.

I bought a universal vga block, since the AquagrafX I ordered will probably arrive in 2011 or so :|
Anyway, universal my ass, the thing didn't fit so a custom bracket had to be made.


Looks nice imho. One more pic?


This is how it's standing here right now:



More someday.

 

Wow, The blocks and the Top are amazing, Wow. This is kickass work, Well done I want UPDATE! Please

Thanks and good luck.

BTW: you must call your computer "The Flying Parts"

 

Thats looks very nice indeed.

 

Nice work too bad about the backorders.
