Scratch Build – In Progress Woody by zwiks

aren't they giant thumb screws?

Other than cutting some down to use to secure some internals, i dont really see how you're gonna use them. Unless you use them to secure the side panel but that doesn't really fit with the case though.

 

Hi, I am new and your great orange case inspired me to sign up! Great work!

Use those nice screws on your next case. This one doesnt need them! If you are looking for more, they are called socket head screws or perhaps cap head bolts.



Good luck!

 

Nope .. it is not

Thank you OgreArtist Allways happy to help

 

New stuff.

Yeah.. new stuff just arrived ..


it is putty .. just for metal

 

New update... ready for paint ....

Jubiii update time ...
I have worked the whole day, to get the case more stable, and ready for paint.

The piece i showed you guys before.. it done now, and its a little bit wet.. but you get the idea...:


Here i used a nut, cuz i fittet perfectly, and it maked the "bay-tower" more stable..: (I used that metal-putty i just recived today, to make it fit together)


Here i maked a "angle-thing" .. also to make the case more stable..:


And one more..:


Here is the "wood-frame," without the "metal-frame"..: [The naked-wood needs to be black, I know it (I´m doing it tomorrow)]


Here is the "metal-frame," without the "wood-frame"..: [It needs a paint-job very bad, I know it (I´m doing it tomorrow)] [And some vacum-cleaning and so on]


More metal, which also needs a paint-job very bad, I know it (I´m doing it tomorrow)



Thats all for today folks ..

 

Looks like a kick-ass system, but remember that the Seagate Savvio harddrives are SAS, not SATA!
So you'll need an add-in SAS-controller card to connect it to the motherboard, since the ASUS' has none.

You would be better off buying a Western Digital Raptor 74GB or 150GB, they're also 10kRPM drives.
And with the money you save, you can get a bigger second harddisk (like an 1TB WD Green Power hdd).

Good luck with your mod!

 

Thank you vsub.... i dinen´t know about that problem .. many many tanks ...

 

Question..

Question to you guys ..

Alan

 

thank you alien ...


any other surgestions -?

 

it needs a paintjob vere muchs... or some cover plates of black aluminium would be sweet too!

 

yes,paint it black ..... or maybe even use the same color as on the outside,both should look very good ........
I know I would.......

Alan

 

can´t afford black alu .... but I think i´m painting it black.. now that 2 peoples hat said that

 

black on the inside will look good, especially against stuff like mobo, hdds, etc

congrats zwinks on bringing a new member to the forums with your cool case you've probably brought more over that i haven't noticed?

 

heheheh yeah and thanks mvagusta

Hi guys .. i have painted the "metal-part" yesterday.. and here is what i looks like

Here is after the painting .. (ist at the drying-fase)


Here is what it looks like know:


An without the tape covering the orange areas:

 

Orange and black always gets my vote. If a lot of the interior wood is seen, my vote is for orange as the outside for contrast. Good work.
John
