Scratch Build – In Progress Silent Blue CaseCon (18 July Update)

Hi thanks, i really like the AC RYan blackfire.

Today i continued with the cables, i had to shorten some, so that they fit my needs.



I also cut some mesh for the fan hole. After measuring the space i have, i´ve seen that i have to use an 80mm FAN . I have layed one on the top, to show where it will be installed (then under the mesh of course )




Nothing too big, i know. I will continue next weekend, propably.

 

Here i have the sketches of the finished Power Supply. I had a hour free time so i sat down to draw how i imagine the finished psu. In reality the logo will sit a bit higher though. I will finish it this weekend, hopefully. The corners of the logo are not perfect, but i think it gives a good preview of the finished product.


Bye

Looks really nice Sik19, look forward to updates. Very nice work man.

What do you use to cut out the letters, a fret saw?

 

Nice work on the PSU! Looking forward to the rest of this!

Hi thank you guys.

No, i dont have that. I will use my jigsaw to cut it out roughly and then my files, i see a lot of work coming

€dit:

Hey guys, today came the last package of OCZ, i got 2GB of their great RAM. Some of you may have wondered why the psu gets a OCZ Logo and not sth. else, well its a shiny thank you to OCZ ^^.

Tomorrow and on Sunday i will post the next Updates.

 

Hey guys, here comes the first Update for this weekend.
I worked on and finished the OCZ Letters for the PSU. First i printed the logo in different sizes and cut the most fitting one out. Then i roughly cut the letters out of my 3mm Alu. Afterthat came filing and much of it. With the polishing the work on the letters was complete. The last task was to glue them on the PSU. On the last pictures can you see how it will look with the psu installed.
The Cables for ATX etc. are still far to long, and iam thinking of cutting of the cables for PCI-E graphic cards completely.

Well here are the pics.









Stay tuned

 

very nice. i like the alum, details.
they add just the right touch with out being over done.

 

Kickass

 

OH SNAP, thats kickass

 

Looks very nice mate, keep it up!

 

wow ..... that power supply looks great ..........

btw....they also have the AC Ryan Blackfire4 UV-LED 80mm blue/blue version...........



Alan

 

Thanks guys. Looking back i can say it was a lot of work, but it was worth it ^^

Thanks Alan, they look cool and are quite cheap, i think one of them will go in the psu. And if it looks good, i´ll maybe order 2 für the sides.

 

the psu makes me drool.....

bro,how thick alu did you use for the OCZ name?

 

Hi man,
its 3mm thick.

I have ordered the fans now, but i didnt received a bank account, lol. Seems like i have to wait for them. But i will make an update this weekend again.

Stay tuned

 

The OCZ is so pretty, I could almost picture it hanging from thick gold chains for some gansta-geek bling. ;P

 

Thanks ^^

Haha funny idea to see somebody running around with a psu hanging around his neck

Here i have a little peek for tomorrow, im planing to do something for the hard drive. This is the Idea i came up with.




More tomorrow.

 

Such a tease!

 

Hehe thanks

So today i tried to do what i has planned. But right away after the beginning, ive seen that my alu sheet is not big enogh for it . So i had to remove the ... well i call it "wings" at the sides. I will mount the case with alu-angles, which are mountet inside the cage so that they wont be seen.

After that change in plans i could start.

Here is the too small sheet and an old, broken dummy drive.


Nothing interesting here, just cutting and filing the alu.


It seems like some corners were unexpectedly sharp



After the filing and the first aid ^^ came the most difficult part. The bending. I have no special tool or anything for bending so i had to improve. I just want to say it again, the hdd was broken before that, and if not, it is now ^^.



For bending i needed a big hammer...


..... i said BIG hammer.


Ah thats more like it

And here is the result. I just want to say, that the 3mm alu was really hard to bend.



And here is where it will sit in the Case



Tomorrow i will propely brush the surface and make the letters. The alu angles will be bought next week, so i hope to finish the case at the next weekend.

Untill tomorrow. Stay tuned

 

YOU TRIED TO BEND 3MM!??!?!?!
WTF?!?!? its beautiful! but your crazy man. Did you use it for strenght, manly bragging rights(which you have!!) or becusaea thats what you had laying around? this case is so kickass...

 

I´ve not only tried it, i did it

I had it laying around, so i used it, im just a poor student you know

But thanks.
