Thermaltake Virtual - Thermaltake Modding Trophy Powered By Scan (Completed)

Very Cool, I remember when I could still see things that small back when I could paint a red back spider on a gear stick knob of a 1/24th scale car with out glasses. Grate work.

 

haha thanks Mic.
wow thats small Zenator, some days Im fine with the small things and other days
I have the wobbles and I have to start again

 

Well I was going to upload some photos but as Photobucket is down atm I cant

The build was completed today and I have installed windows, drivers and run some quick tests to check everything is setup and working as it should, so far its running like a dream


As the deadline has been moved forward a couple of days im going to use the time to redo the front
and top, as im not 100% happy with them
I do hope the new front cover will work out better, im also removing the brick pattern plastic thats
between the front fans and the outer cover as they was blocking the fan LED rings a bit too much.

 

This was the 1st front I did, it was ok but after a short time I decided to redo it with a smaller Thermaltake logo, let me know if you think changing it was a good idea.
I'm more happy now, as it started to look a bit Victorian to me lol

All snapped on the phone again as Im wanting to save some time so I can get the pro shots done tomorrow in the daylight.








Loop filling, right side for the CPU and left on the GPU.












Originally I did the silver parts on the SSD black over the silver, now painted the whole center part in the same red as the case, only doing the Hyper logo in back.







I forgot to snap the black part, but its shown a bit in some photos down the page.


This is the new front, carbon 6D with some airbrush again but less than before.





This shed is getting messy






Also reducing the red ring paint effect by about 60% along with the case top cover.




A quick look at the new front before adding the paintwork and logos.




Them fans are soooo sexy! look great in white.




As you might see, I did a test front and messes with some ideas, and you can now see the reduced red fan covers.



Repainted the silver Thermaltake logo red and black.



Some completed shots for you now, everything is done apart from the pro photos and I will get them done tomorrow with the help of some sunlight





Might be hard to see here, the wires (USB, PSU, WIFI and HDMI) all stack inside the back of the case,
this is great for transportation and storage.

 

This is looking sick

You've really pulled off that stencil work, came out great

 

stencil work, yes you nailed it, i love the contrast

 

Thanks both, you already know I love yours also

 

So, spent the afternoon taking the final photos, its been crap weather here in, snow and clouds all day

But most he photos came out ok though.






Before I spam my post with the ones I haven't deleted I will quickly mention the WIFI thing that was with the MB.

Its pretty sick! as shown in the photos, you can stick it on any of the metal surfaces with using its
magnetic power.

 

Some of the photos that have some daylight on them show best how the candy red pops out from the black.

 

Some of the photos show the case with no lights, only red, only white and red & white.

And thats it folks
Happy to have taken part in the Case Mod competition, had a small amount
of stress as this was a last minute thing.
This mod was done on the fly without any design and planning but I always had the idea about painting
a circuit on the case, would have loved to have done more circuits on the inside but time was limited


Managed to pretty much hide all the wires, only visible ones now are the PSU 24pin plug in the motherboard but its not easy to
spot so going to leave it as is.

Have all the cooling and GPU on the left, fans and rads front and back on a push pull system to blast
the air past the GPU waterblock on the way past.

The inside of the case, left and right, are covered with black leather for a nice clean look thats not too reflective.

on the right is the motherboard along with the re-painted SSD thats also acting as a cover for the GPU extender.

All the wires are attached and stored in the inside like a modern vac, and can be pulled from a hole on the back when needed.

The feet and front are lit by EL wire (red), the top of the case houses the PSU, 2 fan RGB controllers and 2 RGB strip controllers for the left and right side of the case.
the inside LED circuit design is lit using the ASUS RGB controller thats built in the motherboards so I can have more options when picking the lighting modes.​

Anyways, hope you like it? when I get the video done I will post a link here, as video shows the case at its best.​

 

Thanks mic, that last photo was over exposed so its gone now
its not too bad in person, might have gone with some none gloss but did't have any left
and no time to order, or so I thought lol.

 

thats why its turned out great.. using the heart before the mind takes over..

 

nicely put
Thanks Ali

I'm glad its almost over, not had any rest since returning from abroad

 

Damn, I totally missed this one! Thank god I saw the competition thread! You do great work on short notice Rob, LOL! Love the outward facing exposed CPU! Very cool and unique idea!

 

Thanks mate, I miss many of the mods until they popup in the MOTM
This was a quick one for everyone so easy to miss them if you are away from the
forum, even for a toilet break lol

wanted to do somthing original and that fits my living room colours.
plan is to have this thing in there for as long as the wife will let me

 

Vive has landed! now I can see if the listed specs by HTC are accurate and test again with some overclocks
BTW, you might just be able to see the wallpaper in the background, this is the reason for the "virtual" build colours.
more blend less complaints from my other half, I hope

Tower now moved upstairs so I can work on some things, still running the VR via 5 meter HDMI/USB to my living room.

Small desk mod to make room for the tower was needed.

I've now been testing and messing with the setup for a good month, so if anyone has and questions about the setup or VR you can MSG me via facebook or Pvt on here.
