Great work.

A comment about the Lamptron 611, great unit when it works... I have one, and the display almost immediately flaked out on me, pumps and fans appeared to keep working but the display show gibberish, and I was unable to adjust the settings. A bit of checking and I found that the face plate was shorting the contacts of the display. Easily resolved with some electrical tape and x-acto knife to insulate the face plate. The other thing I discovered with the unit, is it is very hard to plug in fans and sensors once the unit is installed. I had to unmounted the unit and pull it out to modify the the wiring, unfortunately, one the cables I had was barely long enough so I only had a couple centameters of play. I had it installed in a full 5.25 bay, you might be alright with the smaller mounting tabs you built.

 

Thanks Dr. Coin..

This is the last word that can really be said about 611.

Most of 611 controllers that my friends use , are problematic.

611 was my friend's preference ,not mine

I am using only FC5V3 at my worklogs , which I prefer.

 

Time to make plexi waterchanels.But not horizontal as on my previous worklogs.,






this time vertically.
First on the right side of the case for video cards ,for 2 resorvoir ,2 pumps as 2 loops.




On then the right side of the case 2 loops for monoblock (CPU and Motherboard) and for ram blocks with 2 reservoir ,2 pump .





settlement of water channels at the case





Then they are drawn at corel







Test purpose they are cut at laser from cardboard





Desired look of water channels.

 

I love your case design, real nice work, reminds me of a case I drawn with same broken corners, so it's great to see it taking shape, i'll follow this

 

Thank you Kim.

 

It sure is an exciting project to see. Nice to see you explain some steps as well.

 

Once the dimensions finalized, they are cut from plexi





The cutted pieces were joined.They are ready to bound.






bonding process of first 2 layers






Threading for the fittings.






fittings control






Colored fluid delivery for leakproofing of the first layers
Test succesful

 

Our current assignment is to make front and rear side doors

First thought of using special metal corner pieces at the corners to make the case more solid
But the case is already solid.




It was abandoned and Designed such a sidedoor and It was cut with laser from cardboard.





Sidedoor is designed to be 1 cm smaller than the sides of the case.




And it is thought to be unconnected and floating in space.


The ears of the plexi doors will be bended at the corners.









The plexi door drawn at corel . according to the cardboard and cut off with laser from 5mm clear plexi.

 

I will to give a disconnected and floating in space view to the door
To achieve this, long thin metal ( bras) feets were considered between the plexi and the case .




These legs were made in 2 parts and mounted with screw.









When these feet are connected to each other and to the case





Such a view was obtained on the front side and on the back side











Worm gear rods are mounted to ensure easy installation of plexi door to the end of the rods





When as trial plexi door inserted into its place

 

more and more beautifull, love the little original details like the rods ... fantastic

 

Thanks kim

 

It is time to make the doors. The marked parts on the four corners of the plexi door must be bended.




Bending parts and process






The plexi was fixed by placing an aluminum sheet under the plexi.




The bending part was heated with heat gun




And bended parts










finished door controlled

 

more...more

 

There is great labor! I admired the project. I wish you continued success.

 

Very promising.

 

thanks kim but there are much more... to do.

 

Of course...I was just excited to see the following, but I will be patient, I love every detail from the start..
