p0Pe Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) sooo.. i was just inhere to report a dude who stole one of you reviews and posted it as his own, and saw that you had a build log section, so i thought i would share my latest project with you:) i made a few mods before this, and will have a look around the forums checking the site out:D i�m 21 years old, from denmark, and curently studying robotic engineering, and this project has taken some inspiraiton from that. so enjoy:) PC-Beto A big thanks goes out to the sponsors that have helped me out with hardware for this mod! lets jump right into it. as usual i am modding an old used case! the inspiration? the case, and plans. im going to watercool the system with a 3*140 mm radiator in front, and two pumps. as seen on the pics, the case is devided in 2 sections. the frame is going to be powdercoated in matte black. this is some of the evelopment of the cad drawings i made. the big round one on the left is going to be a window. and the finished drawings. the top drawings is going to be cut in foil, and the bottom one in green acrylic. since ac-ryan didnt reply on my mails, I found the same acrylic that they uses (for 1/4 the price) and will be using that. http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/5.jpg finished middle plate http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/6.jpg the middle plate is going to be bend around the frame, to give a smoother look http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/7.jpg the little room in the top will be sealed off, and most likely used for 2 harddrives. http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/8.jpg close up of the rad hole in the front http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/9.jpg on this pic, the foil looks quite thick, but it wont be http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/10.jpg the motherboard tray (yes, that old bucket have a removeable mobo tray!) is going to be made of 2 pieces of acrylic. black and green, and will look like this http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/11.jpg for pumps holders, i designed a bracket, that will fit on 140 mm fans to hold the ddc pumps. with rubber grommets, theese should reduce vibrations too, and the cold air from the fans will cool them down a bit. http://tosed.dk/billeder/PC-Beto/12.jpg close up of the bracket. hardware is yet to be decided. but for watercooling i will go for theese 2 for certain 2 ddc pumps HWLabs black ice gtx 420 radiator soo.. hoped you enjoyd this little start of my new project though it almost only consists of renders. more WILL come:rock:. (already got a lil� testplate cut out to play with;) ) -p0Pe Edited August 11, 2010 by p0Pe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Nate Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 How do you plan on fabricating this? Laser cutting? Abrasive water-jet? By hand? Don't forget bend deductions when you do the engineering drawings! They're ESSENTIAL for sheet metal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget bend deductions when you do the engineering drawings! They're ESSENTIAL for sheet metal! fabrication will be done with a lasercutter yeah. deductions is taken care of:) i have a test plate for the front that im bending on of the following days, to see how many mm i loose, and will adjust the sidepanels to that.

Crazy_Nate Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Ok, good. I worked in a sheet metal shop (in quality control), so I got a first hand idea of how they affect tolerances. You should be able to find appropriate bend deduction tables online. You'll just need which material and the thickness (usually listed in sheet metal gauges or the decimal inch thickness). Looks like this is going to be fun to watch develop. You've certainly put time into designing it. Have fun building it! (and welcome to OCC!) Take lots of pictures, everyone loves pictures. Can we get this moved to the Modding area? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
