SketchUp The MNPCTech Case Design Competition, part II: Scratch Build

Found my way here through www.themodbrothers.com. I'm new to Modding PCs, but not to building things and working with tools. I'm also new to sketch-up but it is varry laggy some times... So I wen't as fair as I could Till it was just to laggyc (crappy PC, my new one is up but linux hates my graphics card.)

I paged through this hole thread and I have to say I kinda feel like I brought a nerf gun to a paint ball mach... Great Cases every one!

Here is mine, self titled "Godmonkey"

I only uploaded 4 items... the HDD, and Optical drives, also the two 120mm fans that I modded a bit.

the two 8in cage fans are mine, along with everything else.

Didn't we have the discussion about how to do the domed corners. Now they are on that web page

john

 

What's so bad about them?
Thx, Stormwulf. Now I only need to find an retailer in Germany.

 

That's strangely similar! I couldn't see the profile there though, just the corner brackets.

 

I think he is upset that he didn't make/sell them first.... But I seen stuff like that ages ago just not as nice looking as that web site offers.

 

sweet case godmonkey!

I really like the layout, what you did with the DVD and the airflow. Great stuff, and a very worthy entry to this forum! Welcome

 

There's a whole host of bits on there, from different dimension profile pieces to connection parts/end caps/bolts etc. just look through the whole site. It's mainly used in factories for building work platforms and the like.

Sure there's bound to be a retailer in Germany as most well known manufacturer is bosch rexroth and they're everywhere lol

 

Still can't find anything. Shall I send them an email with my design on it?

 

Thank you!

When I get this Linux 64bit OS working on my other comp and hack all the programs to work that I need. I'll be able to stretch a bit more.

http://www.boschrexroth.com/business_units/brl/en/produkte/mge/strebenprofile/index.jsp for stuartwood89 They do lots of different profiles including 1/4 round etc.

http://www.boschrexroth.com/country...n/links/index.jsp?oid=&do=continent&cont_id=1 Heres a link to the site showing specific site addresses for different countries.

 

@Stuart - Check the PDF of the profiles with the R in the dimensions. they are radius/1 round side.
@GodMonkey - Looks more like a 'godlizzard' to me. Pretty cool there. It looks like it coulld fly.
@Scream - Why would you want to hide your virtual PC under a virtual desk?

 

That was probably because I modelled the desk after my RL one, but I played around with it and put the comp on top of it and it looks better (I Think ;P)

I've updated the post on the previous page with the new pic.

 

AWESOME designs in this thread. Cheesecake all the way.

Too bad I'm too late for this. I have a couple designs of my own, but they're far from complete to enter this contest.

 

This is my 1st attempt with Sketchup, it's not gonna be entered into the competition, just a htpc i would like to build when money and time allows.



Thanks to all the designers that put up the sketch up models i used to make this!

 

YAY! Thanx!

 

Nice one Godmonkey, you already look like sketchup pro from where I'm sitting

 

Awesome case godmonkey! nice to see new people coming into the competition even at this late stage !!

Finaly got onto BT and the net is all up and running in the new house just in time to see the end D

 

Man, this reminds me that I've got to wrap up some details and get my final pics up...

 

only 140 hours left till deadline!

 

do we need to pm anyone or is a post in the forum all it takes?
