This will be my next project, the work title is „A-51“. It will be inspired by Area 51 and all those spooky stories around it…. The Rig is build from a normal ATX Midi Tower which I already converted to WTX. It will get a huge side+top Window and a lot of eyecatching details in the inside of the case. Up to now I already have done some of the gadgets I will built in, like an motorized “Iris” which regulates the airstream from a stealth mounted Fan under it. But enough of the words here are the first pictures of it ….more will follow in the next days…. The Pictures aren´t the best, but i think they are ok for a first impression.
and here are some more pictures.... here are some pictures from my "Iris" in the first version.... the 2 water reservoirs... and this is a backplate i made for a fan controll and some controll switches which i need to controll the iris and the fan below.....
You know, this is actually starting to look interesting A complete "secret research A51 lab" inside a computer, very creative.
thanx! this is what i´ve done today..... some shots from the backside of the case a view from top to ground..... a first cooler experiment which i build for the Northbridge of the system...
What would be Really cool on that mod, is big ass hanger doors, with only a small crack to let you see what looks like a UFO on the inside. That, and a massive TOP SECRET stamped somewhere.
if you buy an iris for a Theather Follow Spot (im a techy) they fit perfectly over a 12cm fan, but you would need a small motor for an autamated opening/closing Looking cool though Aj
Just a bit off topic ... Satellite image over "Area 51" test site at Groom Lake in Nevada: http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=37.262018&lon=-115.800843&z=13.3&r=0&src=2 Ooh, and nice job on the mod.
thanx for your comments and the idea with the theater spots...never thought of them..... here is just a small update with the small radar screen on his place with some light on..... and i´ve made a small video from my "iris".....at the moment everything is a little bit fast but i will slow the movement down in the later progress.... Video
I LOVE the look of this. I really do quite like case mods that aren't trying to look perfect, but are trying to look imperfect. I'd say that was much more difficult, but I do appreciate both styles. Love this! Will be checking it a lot... hehe.
thanks a lot!!!! here is what i have done today.... i made a first part of the sidepanels which will be placed on the bottom part of the case....... inside i will place a huge fan which will cool down the radiator which i will use for the watercooling system.....
in the last days i decided to change a few things.....like the DVD Drive which is now mounted outside of the case in the sidepanel.... it´s now only thrown in to see if everything would work ..... in the next steps i will build something to mount the drive correctly...
here are some new pics..... update 020606: i have just made a first try for the front "entrance".....the stairs will be part of the ground plate........the front door which finally will cover the radiator will be motorized so that both panels would slide away
