Project: [Storm] - 120508 - Pt.1

hanks a lot!! :thumb::rock:

yesterday we have started to cut out the lower sidepanels so that they fit on the frame without getting in touch with the optical drives....
so we made a fast sketch of the cutout....

.... and then started to cut it out

after that we started to finish the main reservoir, therefore we drilled some big holes with the same dia the inner pipe has and put everything in place so that we can glue it together step by step....

looking SWEET dude! keep it up! you make me wanna make resevoirs

I agree 110% with pOPe.

Thank you guys!

today we used the pre cutted wood parts and build a small framework out of it....it will be placed under the case so that the radiator on the bottom can catch enough fresh air....

beside that we glued the water reservoir together and made a small test if everything stays dry :thumb:

I like those res stands. Nice work on the case base (lol that rhymes haha).

this is gonna be ONE KILLER HUGE mod!... did i +rep you yet? if not here we gooooo (mario voice)

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!

In the last couple of days we´re working on the PSU....after we test installed it, we wasn´t happy to see that there is not much room between the water reservoir and the PSU....

so we thought why not put the PSU half outside of the case half inside....
therefore we made a bigger Cutout then the Standard PSU Cutout...so that the PSU can now be moved through the hole .....

after that we needed a new mounting for our PSU, so we did a little bit recycling and reused the parts we cutted out from the side panels. We cutted them in shape and bend some 90° Angles out of it....they are screwed to the mainframe of the case....

then we bended some alloy stripes in a U-Shape so that we can attach them to the PSU and the 90° angles we already attached to the cage.....

as next we´re going to finish the new PSU mounting and then we want to start the building process of the opening mechanism for the lower sidepanels.....

[p0Pe]

once again: nice!

keep it up m8

[DonT-FeaR]

wow the psu mounting idea is alot like mine and it looks killer here to +rep for thinking like me and for a cool mod!!!

[Dane Bramage]
