Angel OD Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Very cool bro Thanks a lot man! Very very nice Angelo Thank you very much! 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.

Angel OD Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 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!

Angel OD Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robymetallo95 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 yeah and the DNA illuminated with blue leds looks like really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel OD Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 nice cut yeahand 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel OD Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 the result is very nice Thank you very much! I was not really happy with the smd led's, but I found out I only had 7.6v on them, so I tried with a 12v charger. That made a world of difference! I also made a design of the PSU cover, as I hope it's going to look! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel OD Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I guess it's about time for another update. I didn't get much done as most I need is going to be milled on the cnc, and we have had different setups sitting in it the last couple of weeks. Hope to get some done during the week/next weekend. But I do have a small update though. I made the PSU cover: Still needs a bit of tweaking, but all in all I think it's going to be good! C ya soon guys! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel OD Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 very good impression this covered Thanks a lot. I think it's gonna be as good as it looks! Waiting for the PSU top! SO am I! I just need to have the machine for a couple of days straight, but vacation is coming up, so I hope to finish that in a week or 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel OD Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Sorry for leaving you waiting guys. It's been hectic at work and I've been pondering a lot about the mod. But now I'm ready to go again! On with the show, pictures is what you wan't! I milled a hole in the side for the 120mm radgrill: This is (almost/kind of) where the dvd-drive is going to be placed. I need to mill the in the top and make some more stuff for it. Right now I've got a couple of my ph.d. homies in Electrical Engineering working on a controller board that will be used for the drive, and the motor. More on that when it's done. Should be within a week or 2! Since all the plugs are hidden underneath the PSU cover plate, I need outlets for usb/audio/RJ45 and the GFX. These will be placed next to the 120 radgrill. Setup: Milled: I encountered a problem with the radgrill, since It's pretty far to the side AND the bottom of the side plate. I had to dremel that away: Done: Then I had to round the corners of the radgrill. 4mm radius, and the gauge to use as a template for filing down the corners: Done: It looks crooked, but it's just because it's not glued in place so it fell back. Then I received the last of the cables needed. 4 usb's and 1 rj45 that are made for panel mount. The GFX cable is actually a splitter, so I need to make something to mount it. Not many options out there for a 5 inch cable for DVI :lol: That's it for now. I hope to get led's in the 120 radgrill today, and finish the design of the cable outlet plate. I'll post pics later if I get it done! Until then my fellow modders! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel OD Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 well , waiting for next pics Here you go! I designed the plate for the In / out connections. It's gonna look something like this: Then on to cutting and soldering the led's, and then mount them: And it works: Ran to the bathroom as that's the only place I have that's dark during the day! :lol: This is on a drained 9v battery, so I think with 12v it's going to light up the entire country of Denmark! And in daylight: There we go. I might go to the workshop tomorrow again, but not sure. C ya soon anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
