wired up n1 and clean.

the frontpanel will be a major role for my light and fanstuff. nearly everything is connected to it.

big fans are running 2.

the tray is also nearly finished.

[derbaum]

ummm let´s start with a little teasin

the bolts for the sidepanel are sanded and polished.

the case itself is now nearly finished, but the remote controll is not more then a concept.

diameter 48mm , strength 10mm , aluminium. one of the few parts i didnt made myself.

2 potentiometers are attached to the wheel. one for the fans on the top, the other one helps to vizualize the speed of the fans. more on that later.

to visualize i need a bargraph or something similar. buying one was an option but no solution.

i decided to build my own from small plexisheets and some unused smd leds.

dont forget aluminium foil.

see ya soon on part 2

today we start with some bondo.

while the bondo was drying i made the first modul. this one will carry 4 switches and a Ir diode.

and the scond modul. pwr switch and a bargraph on this side.

this button fits under the yellow striped cap. it´s made of a 5mm plexiglassheet

i´ve had some time to paint the first pieces, too.

modules done. the next step is to build the housing for them ( they are already standing on the parts of teh future case) and testing the bargraph.

[derbaum]

first, some filler again.

now ive had time to test my little bargraph.

all shots were taken with flash. the graph is really bright.

after painting glueing was quite easy because most parts are made of wood.

RC done. now everybody should have an idea of how the big case will look like.

This is easily one of my favorite mods and is really coming together. great work man

[derbaum]

hi folks. i am done. everything is finished. i can get a life now.
this will be one of last posts with pics i´ll add here. the pictures aren´t commented, i think they speak for themselves. so have fun, see you soon

pictures of the exterior will follow in the next days. weather suxx and i want to do some photoshooting in the garden.

Great Job dude! However I think more pictures would be warranted. This was such a complex project that I'm not sure these last shots tell the whole story. You should try to get a couple more in better light of the whole finished project. I'll move a copy of this to our completed mod gallery now but if you decide to add more pics let me know and I'll tack them on at the end. Thanks for sharing!
