    Default BRUBCAT (BRUnos Black CAsemodTower)

    Hello folks!

    1st) Nice Forum, full of good work and ideas!
    2nd) Sorry for my bad english, I am from germany, hope you understand, what I want to tell you. If anyone finds spelling mistakes -> keep it!
    3rd) I want to present my finished casemod, so let me read your opinion!

    Casemod features:
    - plasmaball with lift
    - motorised door
    - switchable colours
    - neonlight (2 Tubes, 2 switchable colours: blue/red)
    - running light in frontcover (10 LEDs, yellow)
    - underbody illumination (20 LEDs, 2 switchable colours: yellow/green)
    - "Eye" in frontcover (2 LEDs, 2 switchable colours: blue/red)
    - atomsign over power supply unit(30 LEDs, 2 switchable colours: yellow/green)
    - stylebox on the side (4 LEDs, 2 switchable colours: blue/red)
    - DVD-Drive-Stealthmod

    The hardware inside/outside:
    CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+, 2200MHz, S939, Winchester
    Cooler: Thermaltake Silent Boost K8
    Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9
    RAM: 2x MDT-DDR-RAM 1024MB, PC400, CL2.5
    HDD: 2x 80GB Seagate ST380817AS 7200rpm, SATA, NCQ, Raid 0
    Graphix: Gainward GeForce 6800GT, 256MB DDR3, PCIe
    VGA-Cooler: Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev 2
    TV-Card: Terratec Cinergy 1400 DVB-T
    PSU: Be Quiet! 350W ATX, PFC
    Monitor: Samtron 98PDF, 19" CRT and Fujitsu Siemens Comp. 4612 FA, 18" TFT


    Here are some pictures from the construction:

    After the window, the door has been cut out. Next steps: Primer, sanding, primer, sanding, primer, sanding...


    I did not like the bottom plate, that is why I made this cover. It is made of a CD-ROM-Board, a busted TFT-Inverter and a network adapter.


    The lift raises the plasmaball only 2,5 cm or 1 inch, but it is better than nothing.


    The underbody illumination with switchable lights.


    Here you can see old paint. The pipes and the box have no function, are not mounted yet. Everything is just decoration!


    The mess has to get cramed inside.

    I told you, that the colours of the tower are switchable. Here is the proof:
    The first test.

    The aperture angle (hope the term is correct) of the door is freely adjustable (servo controlled).
    The motorised door.

    My little plasmaballlift.
    The plasmaballlift.

    If I had that case, I don't think I'd ever turn on my lights. I'd just sit there and stare at it. In fact, my generic case is looking horrible by comparison. I think I'll go lie down now.

    But seriously, great job man. Keep it up.

    Awesome! I love the changing light colours! The only thing I can think of is try to make the lift more stable so that it doesnt wobble when it goes up and down!
    Peace

    that is some class work dude, the door looks as if the servo is sticking, but other than that - Love it in the respect that it is (Cos personally i don't like bells and wistles)

    Many thanks for the compliments!

    @ XcOM
    The servo doesn`t stick. It depends how far the rotary knob gets turned.

    Last week I smelled something, like burning electronics! Ähm ... yeah ... my servo controller has left earth, it ended up in smoke! Argh, I must build in a new one. But I will do that after my current project is finished. You will be the first ones, who will be informed!
