Hi fellow modders,

It was a matter of time but here it is... my first real scratch build
Thanks to Nate from E22 for the design.

Sometimes you see a design with a wow factor. This happend too me with this design. After some consultation we decided to try to build this design.
Nate the design and I'm building.

The design:

The hardware that comes in is still a suprise...even for me , but anyway there will be an SLI set and some cool watercooling

After buying aluminum strips and other stuff at the hardware store, it was time to start building. After some fitting and measuring the frame was created. I still had an old Mobo tray from a old TJ07.

Cut some plates of acrylic and placed it.

For measuring I have an old blown up Classified.

Made the door/ cover for the PSU

And cut to size the front plate

Now it's a matter of drawing lines on the inside. The result after sawing and filing.

Cut holes for the fans at the front and the lid on top covered with acrylic

Covers closed

Placed some nice 120mm NorthQ fans to see how it looks.

More updates coming very soon

Awesome looking design and great start. Can't wait to see more.

Do you have any detail shots of the frame and how it's held together?

Another update Need to catch up with my FB updates

I have covered the acrylic panels with matte black vinyl and installed some fans to see how it looks

And cut two acrylic plates. 1 for the controller (aquaero VF) and 1 for the lamptron switches
Also blackened with vinyl

I want to build this one without too much cost, so in this build if possible, all kind of stuff that I allready have.
The first idea was to purchase a 480 rad, but also overhere a bit crisis. So it's becoming two 240 rads. That's why I made ​​the front panel again with the fanholes more apart.
Side effect is that it looks better i think, left-center-right all the same sizes between them

This also blackened and polished the edges.

Placed the mobo with some EKWB blocks. And naturally straight tubes

Almost straight

This time a big update.
To start with the rad brackets. Dont want this to be too complicated because I still want enough space behind.
Just a plate with an aluminium edge.

And have it rest on the horizontal bars

Next job ... a PSU cover. Measured and cut a piece of acrylic and drawn the shape of the PSU grill.

Cut the grill shape

Made a bracket ​​to keep the PSU in place.

And placed it

Removed the tape

Polished the edges

Now a little bit time consuming work ... in other builds I've done this before. Ie. single wires true holes.
A piece of acrylic, take some measurements on the PSU outputs, and drill some holes

Done by hand so not all straight but this will not be visible later on.
Pasted red vinyl and put sleeved extensions true the holes

Placed and plugged in

Did the same thing to the PCI-e cables

Nice sleeve curtain

All is finished, 24-pins, PCI-e, CPU and molex

A lot of work, but then you have something

Dismantled everything again because I had a nice idea. Placed a LED strip under the edge of the acrylic cover.
red

Once busy with LED strips, I came up with the idea of placing some more strips underneath the fans for more red edges.

More to come!!!

[dooglo]

Super work so far man. Really nice.

[TLHarrell]

Last update to end the weekend.

The first front plate I have made ​​new with different measurments for the fans, so first one was over.
Cut the Fanholes.

Some small changes

Cleaned

And made an opening for better reaching the aquaero and res

Made it black again

Placed 2 other GPUs for measurments. Still waiting for the hardware .... and I want to go on
So no time for waiting

Tubing time!!!

Can't help it but I need to have everything straight ... think it's starting to get an obsession

CPU going up

And GPU's going up

Nice and clean

For now connected it with adapters, but soon with acrylic tubes. Still need to make nice plate for this.

Some detail shots

Last think I did is making ​​the midplate black. This is finished (I think) because I will run the PCI-e cables through the slanted plate.

That's it for this weekend
