Made an alu midplate for plexi water distrubutor.
















Midplate and backplate mat black painted

 

to enlarge the case , fans were taken out of the case

I made a radiator shroud for fans








and used a self made lazer cutted rad grill on the shroud






Corsair 800 D has a 360 rad gril on the top.

I want to use an Alphacool UT 60 – 480 RAD on the top of the case . therfore ı added 4th
120 mm fangrill with drilling .







but there was a problem to mount the 480 rad . on the top of the case was a pit 5mm for 360 rads






these coused problems at the inside and outside.. ı solved these problem with a 120 mm gasket at the inside and a self made 5mm rubber 360 gasket at outside..

Alphacool UT 60 480 mounted on the topwith push-pull fans and Koollance shroud

480 mm rad mounted on the top







pull fans mounted with koolance shroud








And Monsta 240 mounted at his place.







One of Connection threads from Monsta , was used for draining with a single rotary 90 adapter and a mini valve of Bitspower.






becouse pull fanns of monsta was at outside of the case. , it was made an shroud onthe backcover.

 

update 17/05/2014

and planning the way for cupper pipes from MB(White line)(blue acrylic)




and next planning of acrylic pipes (blue line)




and bending of copper pipes.




















in and out pipes of 480 rad changed





New 5.25 cages with 60 mm depth instead of original 180 mm depht






Added CPU acrylic pipes

 

working a bit more with pipes of southbridge and (VRM / MOSFETs) modüle . changed angels of bending…

45 a




the green marked pipes must be riht angle and the the pipes blue marked must be paralel
and done…







and the hight of the pipes.the distance between MB and pipes was 100mm and it is downloaded to 50 mm












acrylic pipes of video cards added. ( only one videocard is at photo)






I wannt to make a BLACK plexi(glossy) backplate. And RED plexi gromets for cables.






and what ı wannt to do as backplate..





And done










and planning of plexi waterdistributor as mid plate.









And what ı want to do. Black plexi and blood red fluid with ROG logo.






And drawn with corel to cut with lazer.








UPDATE 29/05/2014



To separate PSU from watercooling ,and to hide the cablles ı made a seperatör.









added a filport to the case.










the topmost black plexi cutted with laser to control the dimensions .













illuminated relief rog logo






Added gromets for cables.






UPDATE 5 JUNE 2014





Becouse there is no place at 5.25 bay for SSD s and HDD, ı made special trays for them . I used 15X15mm Alu T Profil.







And trays mounted to HDD and SSD








And all mounted to the case.





The plexi Water distrubutor has 4 layers.





1- 5mm black plexi at buttom
2- 10mm clear plexi (with lazercutted water channels) in the middle
3- 5mm clear plex on the top i for fittings
4- 2mm black plexi as mask

First bonding acrylic sheets with cloroform. layers 2 and 3





Two layers bounded with cloroform






First leak test








And leak test passed with success.


Dont use metal drils








tapping and preparing for fittings

 

UPDATE 12/06/2014


Next step, bonding the buttom black plexi from the inside.






And bonding the top plexi as mask with logo









The black plexi mask at the top is 5mm larger from all sides to illuminate the main plexi with a strip led.









And with led strips to control









Acrylic tube fittings mounted to distributör.


















The 2.nd leak test with green fluid. The fluid was a brite grenn primochill






but it seems as a dark pastel fluid becouse of black buttom plexi.






quick illuminated to see the real color.

 

ORGANİZİNG 5.25” DRİVE BAYS 1

The depht of my 5.25 drive bays is only 60 mm. Bu ı want to use it


1 - I want to use the ON- OF control panel of corsair 800D.



2- I want to use my Thermaltake media lab



3- I want to turn of the power of the HDD if it is necessary.

I could use my self built 4 way HDD switcher


















But ı made a new controller for leds and HDD switcher together

I have 3 ledsrips in the case and 6 leds on blocks. I want turn of the leds strips and dimm if it is necessary . Therefore ı usued 5 K ohm ON-OF pottanciometers. And red leds to see the on- of positions.

And one 2 way ON-OF switch for HDD with a yellow led on

 

Loving the work so far, just a question are you keeping the industrial look or will you be smoothing/filling the points where the Alu meets at the bends?

 

they will look smooth, if they are mat black painted...

but ı like the industrial look more ... for example ı use right angular shapes and imbus bolts on my mods. you cann see at my mods like these
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=267324

industral works are beautiful for me.

 

4 - I want t to use a fan controller , Lamptron FC5 V3, to control rad fans (13 fanns on 240rad and 480 rad - push-pul)





And control the fluid temps at rad outputs , with aquacomputer inline sensors on Lamptron





I will to monitor the pumps speed on lamptron and control the pumpspeed with FC5V3 (it has 30 watt outpoot per chanell)

But my old swiftech 655 has no tacho output to monitor accurately the pumps speed. İt must be modified .

First the tacho outpoot must be found on the PCB





scraped the coating off the little circle at PCB with a dremel till I see copper .








Soldered a 3 rd wire to monitor the pump speed





Changed the power cables and used a 3 pin female fan connector , to connect it to fan controller.





You can see the speed of pump on LCD Display and adjust the speed with knob at Lamptron FC5
V3









Something to add:

Swiftech 655 pump is working at

Nominal voltage 12 V DC

Nominal power (@ 12 V) 24 W

Nominal current (@ 12 V) 2 amps

Therefore you need a digital fan controller min 25 watt to control it over fan controller.

But to see only the speed of the pump,you cann use any digital fan controller.

T o do this you must add the yellow tacho cable of pump , to the yellow tacho kable of fan controller.



That is all.

 

The last tubings between pump-midplate-and 240 monsta done .

Pump isoliert




The bottom chamber is red illuminated. And controlled with a dimmer from panel , to vary the brightness of a light . I want a dark room..




You can dimm



Darker




And darker




And darker…




And you can shut of.

 

update 19/08/2014

recent addıtıons to the case…

There is a problem on most Mainboards if we cool it with MB Waterblock…

You must see this image





İnstead of the BLACK BEAUTY of rampege 4 extrem black edition.
I think , ıt is one of the best design






I planned to use the original cooler of the MB but painted .






But it was not all … cooler does not cover all the metal look . there is 5-6 mm space
between EL I/O shield and cooler .






therfore ı mounted an U shaped 2mm black plexi ,






and then mounted the cooler.


the results











UPDATE 20/08/2014


My firend wanted to see some logos on his Case.He likes the logos… I draw 3 logos for the case. And laser cutted all together. but the pieces were too small and there was too many parts.
I came home with a great plastic bag
…



Took quite long to classify..

A Repuclic of gamers logo (relief) and illuminated





And special logo for my friend to SLİ bridge .

his name is Salih SakSAK , I made a logo from the first letters of the name… SSS
(relief) and illuminated .

 

It is getting together

looks pretty sweet :drool:

 

update 20/08/2014



And a special CORSAIR logo to Corsair Case (Just finished)

As signature…









Sails in relief…

staged from the far away to the nearest






from small sail to the large..

.from left to the right..

.to give full sail effect.





Of corse illuminated






At my next corsair logo i ll try to make it relief and cambered… arg-ist

Very nice of you to show how to make something like that
