Now i wont lie, i have this build on another forum, but maybe you would like to see it?
will build this up as i get time, but pc is running and is what im typing on now.
The initial idea, was that i wanted to step up 1, and decided, why dont i make the case i want it to be to start, so this pc was initialy ONLY meant to be a case build.
Was never about making a pc, as i was very happy with Monster1.
anyway, ive still got artwork to be done in August......
I lost my job/found another etc etc, so has been rollercoaster build, with time/money issues.
I started with a very quick sketchup model.
The temptation to spend weeks on a 3d model and full rendering and arty farty design, didnt appeal to me, as long as i got dimensions correct and had drawings basic to work from, wouldnt be a prob, if i saw something i didnt like whilst making, i could then ignore drawing if i chose etc etc etc.
started here.
1.
now this pic always got weird reactions, how you gonna fit stuff etc, i dont understand, hope all becomes clear in later pics.
2. powdered pigeion blue
3. boring bit, but wanted to do what i called seatx at time. no point having big case, without filling it out. but you gotta have a rear bracket eh?
4.better make a usb front part
5. better start panels, gotta lot of milling to do, this panel took ages to laser, but had already been quoted price. as i wanted hex holes you see.
6. shame original tray to weak and kinked, coz really wanted like this
7.oh gotta be like this at mo
8. ok bare metal panels only look goos to diy people as such eh/
so went in after the work, lasercut, watercut, milling, test fit.
now looked like this
time to fit stuff
oh it does fit, and internal structure beginning to make sense
should get dual quades in there no probs, although i went for triples
pump shelf working nicely as well, will get 3 pumps on shelf fine and still allow a 5970 to fit in
a look at the tft option, milled out to suit, although im not using this option currently
