Hey guys,
maybe some of you have read the interview here on modding.fr, so I dont want to introduce myself again.
After this Interview I was asked to write a worklog at this forum, so here I am
After finishing my latest project I was looking for a new mod, I need a big case for a lot of hardware and watercooling stuff.
This is why I want to mod a Bitfenix Shinobi XL, which was provided by BitFenix.
This Case should get a very clean look, just a few colors: white, silver, a little black.
Besides the modifications on the case I think I will build an additional radiator stand.
The parts I will use:
Hardware:
Case:
- BitFenix Shinobi XL white
- Asus Sabertooth Mark S
- Intel Core i7 4790K
- 2x 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury white DDR3-1866
- 2x 240GB HyperX 3K SSD white
- 2x KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 HOF 4GB
- Super Flower Leadex 80Plus Platinum Netzteil - 1200W
- [...]
Cooling Parts
CPU block:
- Bitspower CPU Block Summit EF - BP-WBCPUIAC-CUMBKWH
- Bitspower CPU Block Plate For Intel CPU(Silver)
GPU block:
- Bitspower VG-NGTX980GXHOF
pump:
- Laing DDC-Pumpe 12V DDC-1T Plus PWM
- Bitspower Pump Cooler For DDC/MCP355 (White)
- - DDC TOP Acrylic Version
radiator:
- 2x Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 360
- Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 240

Fittings:

A very big thanks goes to the following companys:

Re: ---Brightness---
Happy to see you here my friend (I'm Robin, from Facebook ) with this BIG project. We are pretty fond of Bitfenix stuff here
Re: ---Brightness---
First pics of the Case:
Some very nice features and top quality.
You can reach this point without drilling:
First small update
Started with the first fan cover. at first mark it ->drill -> saw -> file -> sand
fits very well
Lot of work to do at the reservoirs. I need two of them...
And some other very nice stuff arrived.
Big thanks to Bitspower...
and Aquatuning.
mounted the pump, I think it is looking damn good

Re: ---Brightness---
I like the new nice-looking pump
Re: ---Brightness---
Yes, I think so too.
Besides the Laing D5 + Bitspower ModKit the best looking pump combination.
I've started with some serious modding
To mount two 360 and one 240 radiator I had to change the position of the original radiator mounts.
So I've cutted some wholes into the frame... and installed some new mounting plates.
...and installed some new mounting plates.
test fit:
To give the case a little bit more stability, I installed some alu sheets on the front of the case.
filed the aluminium until my arms hurt ...
next test fit:
By the way...
also the waterblocks arrived, big thanks to EK Waterblocks.

Re: ---Brightness---
Whoa those EK block are beauties O.o I can't wait to see what will happen next
Re: ---Brightness---
Hehe,
thank you guys.
Yeah, I think so too, these blocks are so sexy.
Yesterday I had some doubts if the tiny reservoir will look good.
Finally I decided to use the bigger ones, that means 250mm instead of 110mm.
Thats why I also needed some new covers for the reservoirs.
At first I've cutted some tubes to the right length, after that I marked the wholes on adhesive tape:
To drill the wholes, I need to fix the parts:
I pre-drilled with a 3mm drill, after that I used a 20mm one.
After that, I used a angle grinder to cut the rest, works very good
filing:
temporary result:
besides that, I cutted a plate to mount the pumps:
Thats it for now.

I'm not dead.
The exams at the university are done, so more time for modding.
The last days I worked on the reservoir covers.
Still a lot of grinding to do.
Re: ---Brightness---
Hello,
I couldnt show you a lot of updates.
I just continued with the reservoir cover of the last post and cutted the second one. Pics of them later.
Besides that, I will change the hardware, I will use a Z97 System instead of the X79 System.
And I can proudly present you two more Sponsors.
Kingston supports this project with two of the Kingston HyperX 3K SSDs in the special white 240gb version.
Besides that, they sent me two Kits of the Kingston HyperX FURY 1866 Memory, also in white.
Thanks for that
Besides that Gosumodz supports this project with some sleeving gear.
Also a big thanks to them, for the support.
I will use Arctic White, Steel Grey and Cosmic Purple
The new Alliance Combs will match perfectly to this project, but there are still some missing.
I also orderd some white connectors at Gosumodz, makes it a lot of easier and cheaper to order them in there than in asia.
See you with the next update.

Re: ---Brightness---
This shot got me in mood ...
I haven't seen the new look of those SSD before.
As I said on Facebook, i love the color scheme.

Re: ---Brightness---
This SSD are some kind of a special version, but it seems to be, that every one can order it.
My new Z97 board arrived the last days, but I hat no time and motivation to test it....
But I've done some things in the workshop.
This small alu profiles are need to mount the mountingplates for the pumps and reservoirs.
The mountingplate for the pumps was already cutted, I just need to add some holes.
Some more sheets for the reservoir mounting plates and rad covers.
More mounting blocks...
Mo...Mo...Mo...Monster Drill :jawdrop: (3mm/18mm)
With this big drill, the holes in the centre was drilled. The contour of that was cutted with a scroll saw.
Putted everything into the case:
What do you think?

Yes, but it wasnt powerfull enough^^ the motor was fastened serveral times while drilling. I think I will buy a subland twist drill in the near future.Tesla a écrit :You have some high drilling power here ! Got a column drill ?
That would be great. We will see Thank youBadidzetai a écrit :Hmm looks like a future featured mod !

Of course there will be a second cover But it is not finished yet.
Re: ---Brightness---
aaah! great!
Re: ---Brightness---
I can't tell you a lot of news...
But: the new hardware is nearly complete. Just the graphics cards are missing.
Yesterday I also ordered some more Bitspower parts. Fittings and blocks.
Cant wait to finish the loop

Yeah... it is not the cheapest part of hardwareMacGamerFR a écrit :Just thatflix29 a écrit :Just the graphics cards are missing.
The last days I had some time to go on with this mod.
The polishing of the first Reservoir cover is nearly done.
It looks much better than I have expected.
Until know I needed nearly 20h for one cover....
Not as good as a nickel finish but I think its ok.
