This is the case I have been working on, I only have the window/side panel and a few accent pieces left.

yea ill try to get a better pic for ya.

Very yellow MattxMosh..hehe.. Im just kidding that looks cool.. Be sure to post some final shots when your done..

I also edited your pics.. please look over the new forum rules ...

Will do, and you guys change the rules too much.

rules have been the same since day 1 except for the new rule we just added yesterday.


8,400+ members, and yet the rules thread only has 5,000 or so views...there's a problem with that....

rules are needed to keep some sort of order to this chaos... angry don't forget not everyone comes on here everyday, and i'm sure some won't come back due to loss of interest. this site ownz me.... more pics of cases please! and don't forget to resize to smaller than 800x600.

This is my first custom build. Nowhere near as custom as some of you guys, but I'm happy with it. (Sorry for the crappy pics, ElCheapo digi-cam)

just made my own........








the case is just a BETA....isnt cut with proper tools so not as pretty as i would like it to be....and it is 4cm too low for the gfx and soundcard......but it can run open or closed....and great protection and easy to carry when going to LAN

how is that workin for you Fragman?

I'm always interested to try mods for stuff that you guys make if possible

at last i made the links work as i wanted to ...dont suppose any1 wanna see them directly in 2048*13xx

actually that first link...can you make a bigger picture (and just link it)???

that suitcase looks like what I imagine on of those 'Red Mercury' suitcase nuclear bombs might look like hahahaha

totally dig the coke-bottle air tunnel too

i really want to see a big pic of that chipset sink tho...first pic is too small to really see any detail

Ten can you give me a link to that LCD pannel? I would like to find out the total dimensions on it or see what other sizes are avaliable

the alternative chipset cooler is the "famous" global win socket 370 copper cooler that is stripped of ½ the finns and cut 2 places (some mobo components was a little too high...and then drilled 2 holes and used original "screws" and chim.

the coke blower is great for very hot days or LAN for some x-tra air...mostly i use it for my face at lan

I think that suitcase is kewl as hale [G.N.U.]Fragman

maybe an LCD in the top?

the corner to corner is 4.7 viewable, pcb is 5 1/4 high and 5 3/4 wide and its a oval shaped,deepth is 1/2 ish. its basically the same as the ps1 brand lcd but this one has composite input. i cant find any links other then the links on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/VERGE-C20908A-5-INCH-T...1QQcmdZViewItem i went with composite as the video isnt as bad as people make it out to be with such a samll lcd not to mention it allowed me to only use 3 wires.

actually i will redesign the pwr sw area with something like that instead...but used what was there atm.....but i am still looking for a cheap and slightly larger (deeper lower side) case so i can get rid of some of those cables.....considering plexi coating too.....

can U see the chipset sink well enough on those pics AG?...btw being able to take chipsæt off without un-mounting mobo would have been nicer

just shot 2 more "outside case" pics...

Some Pics day and

Here's my rig, finally. I spent quite a bit of time taking these pictures just for you guys, so enjoy! 56k beware!

nice job man....looks good......

just my semi plain jane






in the following pic your view is partially obstructed by my desk(the two poles in the middle and the thing near the back with the holes)

Very nice setup all the way around.

Love that convertible coffee table. I got one very similar years ago. It doesn't match my current furniture but I still have it in storage. In fact, I may just investigate using the hardware to convert my current coffee table.

Nice screen !!

This is me system:

@ loc.o

I see your running the BillyBadazz model.
Nice pic.

It's great to see so many members posting shots of their rigs. very kewl stuff.

EDIT : better pictures below

@OceanSeasforMe

Ghetto Fabulous! lol

A few better ones from before it went in a box.









And now the box ~! phear the box its 22lbs of steel and very difficult to cut.
That nasty plastic fan cage was removed and the 120 mm fan went there.

Yes it is huge & I used the metal plate (foreground) with the leftovers of the old power supply box( in the rear) to mount the power supply. EDIT : Look above where the PSU vents (in the middle was final mounting postion )and see the two plug in power cord passthroughs. The 2x80mm fan mod uses the upper outlet and mini switch and about 1-2 mm across the top of the PSU itself for venting.

First fitting of rear mounting bracket for Power supply before its modification.
NOTE : check the top of the case. Those two openings are perfect for a pair of 120mm fans (blowholes) and a clear plexiglass top.

Different view

OceanSeas? are you a Ham Radio guy? or was that a previous life?

Lets make a fan hole for the 120 *(the other one defeated me for now and so I left the magic marker for refrence.

Check out the thickness of the scrap ! #%^^^%&^%&^&^%&

Note that the power supply cage has been highly beaten with a hammer ~! *(more on that later.) And that the metal has been removed so that the OCZ 520 will fit.

Adding Power supply. Where the power supply and the other cage meet I have 2 x 80 mm fans and a foam pad sealing the envirionment. It exhausts to the rear And I am going to put some ram sinks on the top of the PSU as its top is the bottom of my mini wind tunnel. (I closed the side you see above the PSU with foam and put a pair of 80 mm's pointig to the rear and sitting on the PSU)

Wire it up to see if it boots ~!

Super Ghettho Fan mod on top right corner of board and cools HD's also

Starting to make a little progress, but this was to get it in a case, I can think on it now about wireing it up without the worry of accidentally kicking it or something. THe IDE *(yellow) missed by 1/2 inch of fitting so I had to dig up an old (long) stripe.) Note : All power cords are passing through the Recessed area on the right of the HD cage. THe large pink Zip tie in the center holds the entire bundle under tension. (it took the natural loop of the bundle and changed it from a outward bulge to a neutral position.) Afterwards I adjusted all tensions on all plugs and plug ins and made sure i was not overtensioning anything. THe 80 mm fan has the bundle of cable routed BESIDE it and then falling in a gracefull loop to their terminus. *(haha, well thats subjective, I think so.) I am just happy to get it in a case.

THe only thing not tight in this picture are the Sata cables. Eventually I re routed them.

That small screened area is the Exhaust for 2 x 80 mmfans that Are forceing air across the top of the PSU *(which I plan to cover with AS5 and heatsinks !) I used a foam piece about the size of a Cd cover and blocked in the area and it is fairly airtight. I sat two 80 mm fans on the PSU and butted them up to the edge of the old PSU box and then closed it in on the side with the foam. (no pics sorry will get them during round two.)

Front of the beast With slats removed and homemade screen intake. (doubled over house window screen.)

Nope, Although I lived though the era, I never got into it really.
I work on the Water / live at the beach.

Ok into the Homestretch ~! yaa !@
Side by side with my Intel Rig in thE thermatake Tsunami dream mid tower. I have since ripped the nasty plastic inlets off tsunami case. Note the TT door is long long gone.

Another Side by side. Size does make a difference ~! Note the TT is on feet and the DFI /tower is sitting on its base. I plan to add some wheels later

Boot


Ok thats all the DFI stuff, here are a few of My INTEL , Avert your Eyes if it burns.
When I go into the DFI again I will detail the *(accidental) Design of the Box over my PSU and adding the Heatsinks to the top of the PSU itself.

Side

Wire job

Finito. Notice I used the blue lights from the door inside the case
Salvaged like a good pirate.

I cant let it slide that I hate that purple quick attach thing on the Thermaltake cases. Here I am after I figured out that wire cutters were better than hot butter knives. (no I am kidding I always try the cutters first.) You have to remove the edge so that you can get a screw to hold the video card down. Even then it is a logistical nightmare. I don't move my PC's but I would not trust the quick connect if I did.




Thats it. the end. I had never tried closeups on the Digital I borrowed so some didnt come out right, when I go in and mod again I will have a better knowledge if its focal point.

EDIT : rough layout of curent nf4 setup in the tower case and the 80mm is fed from the front of the case also) .

Lord Calvert and Doctor Pepper. Famous seafarer's breakfast drink

aye, puts the lead in the pencil.

Geez.. Thats one big case..

Phase two will be Two plexiglass sidepanels and lighting goodness.

It does not even need a top on it. ~! But I will put one on it for grins.

I always wanted to do this to this case and I figured it would hold watercooling later if If flip the whole thing upside down.

I can stand on the case, jump on it, its crazy heavy duty.

EDIt lol sound. I drink dark rum and coke, that LC was just an empty that someone left sitting on my wine rack and I consciously framed the shot up after I saw it. I thought it was one of the better of the series. And the wine N capn morgans is below

Holy crap OceanSeas. You could rent out space in that thing.

Very nice beginning indeed!

You can see my sagging ti4600 here:

That was a damn great card for it's time.

I had a Ti4800 and it rocked... Built my old man a rig and put it in his.. Its still kickin strong. I even got the old man playin Madden..

How did you do that logo DevilDriver? Decal, etched, how?

The good people at Shadowmajik.com
Ive been purchasing case badges and decals from them for a wile.
top notch grade A quality.
This particular logo I ordered as an etched look reverse decal so you cant feel it from out side the case.
Looks like a real etch job in person.

very nice thanks for the tip

well my case is done for the most part all i need now is some white cc's and some wire sleaving to finish it up!

can someone posts pics of their thermaltake armor case if u have any or have this case

Theres a few in my Build Diary :
