Mod’n Roll 2012: The Theory of Everything.

[Angel OD]

Another boring update for you guys.

I'm in the middle of figuring out where everything goes in this case.

Since this is the build with the most room I've done, I actually thought it was going to be a breeze to just throw everything in there... Boy was I wrong...

But just because I'm lying on the floor staring at the case, does not mean you shouldn't have something to look at.

Since I need 2 pumps for this build, and only have money for a single Laing DDC I decided to bring in an oldie!

Some might already have guessed where this is going if you have seen my WaterCooled CarPC, and the rest of you... I guess you will find out!

The first babysteps, to make sure I can get started measuring everything for the re-build!

That's it for now! Always leave them wanting more!

C ya soon amigos!

Thanks man!

I just hope it works this time. I'm something like 50/50 between modding pumps and killing them!

But I decided to try again! The last one works perfectly in my car!

Thanks!

So am I sir, So am I!

I have so many things I work on at the moment, so I can't be bothered to finish one thing before I start a new one.

Damn this brain of mine!

I decided it was about time to take your dirty dirty minds away from the pump.

I've been thinking about a design for rad-grills for a while, and the final design is done.

I was not really sure wether it would hold up in the mill without any support structure to clamp it down on the whole surface, but I decided to give it a go today.

I started with the 120mm grill, as it was the easiest/fastest to mill!

It turned out to work fine, and all my fears were put to shame!

On with it:

The first milling:

Gone through were it's supposed to:

Milling done:

And the leftover pieces taken out:

Looks might deceive as the ripples are not the plexi but the protective film.

I'll keep that on until I'm done milling the outline!

C ya soon guys!

Very cool bro

Very very nice Angelo

Custom pump? That simply is custom watercooling guru's style.

I just love the DNA grill!

Thanks! I actually did it before with the exact same pump. I have a very bad history of modding pumps. I killed 1 for my Nintendo Wii, and I killed another on my carpc. But that's what happens when you go a bit too crazy!

I made this for my carpc:

Only the base and the magnet is stock.

Since today is my birthday, I had nothing better to do than stay a couple of hours extra at work to get a couple of little things done, and also to mill the 240mm radgrill.

I was actually going to finish up the 120mm while the other was in the cnc, but forgot the fact that I use the small plane in the cnc while I need it to do the other! :lol:

So none of them are finished yet, but they will be tuesday the latest!

On with the show!

Milled the 240mm DNA radgrill:

The left-overs. Had you asked me to mill these, I'd have said "no way" :lol:

Finally I decided how/where the rads would be mounted in the case. Blue 240 on one side, the red 120 on the other:

That's it for now.

Can't wait to get further on this, as it finally feels and looks like something useful!

Now comes the fun

It's been a long time since last update, but here it is.

I had to remake my plans and put the 240mm rad vertical instead of horizontal. This leaves no room for the reservoirs, but I'll figure it out as I go along! (as usual!)

Cut the hole for the 240 radgrill after removing some soundproofing:

Testfit:

Unfortunately someone scratched the sidepanel :wallbash: but I'll just have to paint it along with the back. But then again I probably need to paint the whole thing to get a uniform shade of white!

I also did a quick test of the smd's on the 120 grill. Only one side mounted with the led's and keep in mind that the outer 8mm's all the way around will not be visible as they are for mounting in the case.

This is only on one side, there will be lights on all 4 sides!

I'm quite happy with the way the light disperse in the acrylic. Nothing like the normal straight led light!

Well, that's it for now. C ya soon!

nice cut

[Robymetallo95]

yeah

and the DNA illuminated with blue leds looks like really good

Thanks guys! I must admit I'm pretty happy about it too!

Which is also why I decided to take the protective film off!

Just wanted to show you how the 240 radgrill looked without protective coating. It was pretty stupid of me to put the thing in, as I still need to cut out another window, but I just had to see!

Not too bad if you ask me!

Right now I'm drawing up a sketch of the electronics for the dvd-drive. Ph.d. student at work owes me a favor for machining some parts for a homemade quad-copter, and I'm cashing in!

Next up is to make a plate to cover the PSU, and cut an extra hole in the side. Also a hole in the other side and one in the top part of the case. So much to do, so much time wasted on BF3 with my new gfx card! :lol:

[tom1]

the result is very nice
