WhiteIce | BIG PICTURE UPDATE!

I have in long time planned to build a case of wood. I'm not a carpenter, actually I'm only 15 years old, but that is not a barrier. The dimension of the case is: 31(length) x 45(height) x 18(breight). My english is not the best, so if you can correct me when i'm speaking bad, that wood be great

(The pictures is clickable)
I was so lucky that i got some sponsors











This was that i started with


Here are the only tools i have.


The plate is now sawed out.


Here are the chasis with some hardware in it. The mothercard will be monted some cm longer up, so to pci-places will be accesable


Here are what I got from vendur.no


Everything is going to be watercooled


I have not jet buyed graphic-card and cpu, but I think I gonna to buy it before Christmas.

Then the hw will be:
amd64 3000+
abit kv8pro
crucial ddr3200 1gb
sapphire x800xt

So what do you think? Thanks for answers

 

sounds like a kick-ass system but will that psu fit inside that frame??

good luck mate

 

Yes, it will. Have tried it. I'm from Norway too Thanks

 

welcome aboard d00d!

I look forward to how this progresses.

 

Is that a cue:cat? (next to the fan and remote) I haven't seen one of those in a while...

 

thanks for the welcome.

Yes, it is. hehe

Have to say that this is my first project, actually the first time i'm gonna to mont hardware from the beginning.

 

its looking really good so far, i've had a cue: cat around for a while to light up the back of my pc w/o a flashlight, interested to see how you'll use it, subscribing

 

thank you. I don't think I am gonna to use the cue. I got it from my sponsor.

 

I know the vendur.NO and the "illustrert vitenskap" magazine was a big clue

 

the plate


In 8 bites


The plexi. I have planned to have plexi strimles between the tree. I have not dremmel skillz. How do you do that??


It will circa be like this. I haven't glued it together jet. I think I am going to use some epoxy 2coponents glue.


The "gaps will be filled with this:


I have used most of my time to saw up the stuff. Everything is handsawed. Also the chassis. I'm tired now. Any comments?

 

those cuts aren't exactly straight... but I'm sure it will look great in the end

 

You should borrow a plane to smooth that wood; if you haven't used it before it will be a little tricky to use it to smooth your cuts; work from tips to center and use a very sharp edge and have it take really thin wood slices; the person who lends it to you will be able to give you further tips.

 

I know. Therefore i filled the gaps with treedust(?!) and treeglue. Sorry my bad english. Don't find a better word.

Here have i filled it with the mixture i have telling you about


Nearpicture of the top


Nearpicture of the front


It is not exactly stright jet, but it will come!
So what do you think? Come with comment! I want to hear all. Bad and good. Thanks

 

you should better stop this mod or redo it, cause that is not really cut straight
as a noob you shouldnt start a casemod like that, you see you havent really worked much with wood
btw, thats another piloux lookalike mod
i hope you can fix that

 

This seems overly harsh! we were all noobs at one point so let him get his prctice, buy the looks in his last pics he used wood filler and it apears to be much nicer, and who cares if hes copying piloux. Keep on modding friend and eventualy you wil get better

 

Thanks. I got a little bit scared that nobody was interesting in this project.

 

mr hanky... now how the H*ll do you know that it isn't the effect he wants? besides, with som sanding it might turn out great! I have seen sooo many projects in this forum looking rather shabby when they start off, but looks great when they are finnished. like for instance the previous mod of the month. maybe you are telling the maker of the next mod of the month to trash the "Noob" mod and start over....

Illvit, I think you should continue the mod, and just show guys like mrhanky that they are wrong. good luck.

 

sorry but if this is just practise, i doesnt need to post it here
youre right i was i little bit harch, well, im still
if you post a project on a forum you need to be sure youre eye for detail is good

i hope you follow my advice
you should cut it with an automatic saw, cause it aint straight

 

Thanks for the good spupport. I am just 15 years old and have not more money to spend on tools. My budsjet is blast

But here is a update.

Update nr.2 12.12.2004

I took from the saw and sawed. The stuff back is two aluminiumsfilter(120mm). I tride to hide the fanfilterholes, and make the form a little bit rounder.


With plexi! (The plexi will I have to light blue. Maybe I can drill some holes with the dremmel and use tape to fasten a light to it. Have bought some blues THC-leds. link: http://www.lsdiodes.com/THC3/ If somebody knows if that will work? Maybe explain a better methode.)


I don't have any ATX case. Just a case from the last centures. Have to use the some pci-places from that.


ahhght The chassis is loose. Have to glue it together(again..)


Here are some sleeves from USA. The were shrinked alleredy when I got then Does anybody knows how to enlarge the sleeves again??


A tupperware copy. It's a Eheim Compact 600 pump inside. Have thought to put it over the psu like one the picture. The colour does't pass in because the teame is Arctic. Think I will take a chance, broke the garaunti and spray it whitt

 

I'm actually kind of impressed, this kid is only 15 and he only has a hacksaw and hand saw. If I tried something like this when I was 15 I would have burned the house down or cut off a few fingers.
Mod on brother, I wish you the best of luck on your project.
