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

thanks ............. I've ordered from them in the past too ................



Alan

 

Is that a NANOXIA fan by any chance?

 

Yes it is, but it was only used to show the size of the fan and where it will be mounted ( und the mesh of course)

 

Hi guys,
after a longer break i can present you a new update.
Last week some new parts arrived a new alu sheet (0,5mm thick), an alu profile (10x10x1000mm) and some polishing cloths, i want to test if they work better than old t-shirts ^^.



I started with drilling holes in the six edges of the case. No big thing.



The hard part started here, how should i bend the top? I needed something long and hard (loool, dont think the wrong thing guys, this is a clean forum)
I looked through our cellar and found.....

... a can with joung peas ^^



Not to bad for a can with peas:


And its fitting well too.



The Gap over the front plate will be closed with a small coverplate.

Thats it for today

 

holy crap beautiful bending job! you bend that thing really long and hard! sorry....


perfect fit! that was risky but it proved to work out great for you.

This is one of my top 3 favorite mods to follow btw

Update 11. Feb

Hey Alan, yes it feels good to be back ^^

hotton you want it.... you get it ;-)

I had some plans for a Mainboardcover for a while now and yesterday i build a little Prototype


The Material will be A.C.Ryans Mesh panels.


Today i started cutting the panel and bending it into shape


And this is what it looks like at the moment.



Tomorrow comes filing the edges, i see hours of fun and joy coming

 

The Mainboardcover lost some weight ^^ but there are still many things to do.

 

looking very nice

 

Thanks man,
and the second part for today





I hope you can recognise everything, i dont really know how to explain it

I wanted some different in height and not just only a flat area, so i worked a lillte bit with a hammer on it.

Next thing will be some playing around wirh paint and of course drilling the hole for the CPU cooler.

 

Nice work, as always. I like the grid pattern of bends on the top. Are you going to do something with the exposed edges on the mesh?

 

Yes im gonna use u channel (?) for the edges, but i have to buy it first :-/

 

there's just one thing that bothers me with that nice mobo cover .............
it's hiding the pretty OCZ sign on your psu ...............

Alan

 

what about round that curved edge? or are you talking about rubber stuff?

 

Hmmm i only now rubber u channels as thick monsters, i thought about the smaller, thinner version like the ones Bill sales at mnpc tech. I want tu put them all around the mainboard cover.
