Case Mod - In Progress Q-vent 900 - winner MotM feb. - customPC article

Cuts and design are excellent. Good work!

 

Looking real good m8. That cover looks excellent.

 

Wow, still looking great!

 

pump cover, cba to explain

 

Looks really swish!

 

Does indeed. Good stuff

 

I liked much better the unpainted aluminum pump cover; (i do love contrasts)

 

Wow, great cover; it reminds me of the old AC Full-Metal-Jackets.

 

thanks guys =)
the dust was a problem.. so i removed it, but guess what.. MORE DUST Òó







sunshiiiiiiine





next up, ill make the front =)

 

Looking really goof FrooP.

 

ya,
made a holder for my mp3 player

glued on the wall with hot glue, sturdy as w00t

and it also works still

then i saw, filed, milled, and sandet the front

quick setup



dirt

glued



yeh, thats all again..

 

Wow FrooP, you have brought me out of my current lurk-dom!

I'm going to be modding a 900 for a contest on another forum (which, unfortunately means I cant post the log here ). Your work is certainly an inspiration for my a900 mod.

I love the radiator placement, and the way all the covers fit together perfectly.

How is the strength of the case? Since you removed the 5.25" bays, which are a big part of the frame of the case?

 

Why can't you post it here? We would love to see your work. Make sure to post up completed pics.

 

took a day free from work so i was able to mod a bit

i sanded, filed the front and stacked the parts on top of each other so the little windows line up perfectly

my method for straight cuts

and yes, every single cut is STRAIGHT <3

then i started to tap the outlet for the pump

some drilling and taping later

its starting to take shape

cant wait to get in the shop tomorrow

 

It may be similar to (or the same!) contest I'm involved in on another forum. Rules are that it can only be logged in their private section, then after a certain date that log gets opened to the public (on that site) for voting... after that I think it's ok to release the pics.

End off topic

FrooP, nice drilling and cutting!

 

Cuts look dead straight mate, nice work.

 

I know you! Your logging lexa on that site XD

Nice work froop, cant wait to see the completed res, should look fantastic.

 

Great work!

 

so, progress, im currently looking for someone who can lasercut the front, because i messed it up again :/



so anyways, i was browsing a random hardware supply marked and guess what i found:


CHEAP HARDDRIVE WATERCOOLERS YAY

i need two of em




the rest of the day i converted my eheim pump to 1/4" threads, which destroyed the pump BUT i was able to fix it with some resin, it still leaks, but ill fix that at work tomorrow

one of the cooler leaks a bit, but nothing mayor i cant fix

 

wow, genius!
