18th update guys and lets roll!!
For the main compartments 14cm fan I choose to use 4 long crews which they are going to be "embedded" on the chassis, as I countersunk the heads and also used isopon to cover them so they wont be visible from the outside, a method I am using for almost all the screws.

First I marked the holes.

Driiled and tapped.

Countersink holes.

Testing before adding isopon to cover the screw heads.

And here is a shot from the interior, as you see this is the method I came up to attach the fan on the chassis.

Some work I did on the side panel. I filled these tiny imperfections and gaps with isopon.
Sanding and fixing for eternity!!!

I know that it might seems ugly right now but there are a lot to fix/sand before its ready for painting!

For the second compartment's fan I had to remove completely the fans frame due to the led placement and create a new custom one!

I used the frame to start creating the design. 5mm acrylic was used.

And here is the cutting/finishing process.

At first I cut the frame in that design but later on I found that idea not so professional and changed the plans to something neater and more beautiful.

Filling and sanding!

So I decided to use these standoffs instead. They are going to be attached on the chassis in threaded holes and I will use nuts to hold the stand in place. All the nuts on the chassis will be covered at the very end with some MDPC caps.

And here are the final shots for today. Red sleeving added too!

Thanks for reading this worklog guys and for all your comments and presence in my work!!!
Till next time, keep on rollin'. Peace!

Time for a new update!
I am going slow though as I need some pieces done by the cnc and I dont have ANY money right now
not even for cigarettes lol! I will try to work on some other things I have to do and forget my pitiful-no money life!
So lets begin!
First off all I installed some cable management clips by MDPC many more to follow!

I also worked on the side panel's part where the biggest window is gonna be installed so for it to sit flush.

A lot of sanding and fixing for the side panel but not yet finished!!! Just a quick pick. ;P

I also engraved a pattern on all the wooden rods on the front. This took me like 3 hours with the sanding. With the black paint it will look nice I believe!

I was thinking a long time now about the creation of a supporting mechanism for the main compartment for extra stability and durability due to its original design, the compartment wasnt stable enough. So I went with the idea of a removable piece that it will allow me to remove or install any graphic cards in the future, even though its placement wont interfere with any of the components.
So for that creation I am gonna use a wooden rod as the main piece of the supporter, along with some steel angles I ve found on a DIY store which suited me just fine with a little modification for my work. I dunno their proper name even in my language so forgive me about that!

So the first step was measuring the exact distance on the left and right part in order to fit the angles and that wasnt easy at all, it took me around 45 minutes to achieve the perfect height and angle as this compartment its not 90 degrees straight up as you might realized!!

Threads for the steel angles holes.

And here it is installed!

Marking the wood for the holes to be drilled later on.

The little insertion point on the steel angle is designed in a way that is perfect for the wood in order to fit tight and not be loose.

Fitted!

I also modified some cable management clips in order to create some flexible and removable caps for aesthetic reasons mostly!

And here is my new fan holder design which I am going to cut on the cnc when I find some money.

Thats all for now guys I hope you enjoyed reading this worklog, till next time, peace!
