Hey,
time for a small ne update. :)

A new package frome Bitspower arrived these Days. tanks a lot.

This includes among other things these two pump tops: Bitspower Premium Magic-Cube Type DDC MOD TOP G1/4" (Acrylic Version).

Image

Image

The nice thing with the magic tops is, that they can e connected very easy and in a lot of variations.

Image

Image

They also fit on the mounting plate which was planed for the other pump combos. :izvd:

Image



besides that, the package includes a new CPU block: Bitspower CPU Block Summit EF.
It will match the color scheme perfectly.

Image

Image

Image


I also have done some things on the case.
The motherboard tray needs to go.
I need the space for optimized tube routing :rtt:

Image

Image


the tray:

Image


Try to find a good combination for the pump outlet, not that easy... ^^

Image


result:

Image

Image


On the one side there will be a temp sensor and on the other side a tube to the 240mm radiator on the bottom:

Image


Thats it for now :)

Just that :D
Just that!

I got some really nice hardware fromKFA2.
KFA2 supports this project by offering a GTX 970 HOF.

Thanks a lot. :flow:

I think this card is one of the best looking VGA Cards on the market at the moment.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


what is better than one card?
correct, two cards! :izvd:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


and what is better than two cards?
three? no... Two cards with nice blocks from Bitspower! :izvd:
Thanks to Bitspower.

Image

Image

Image


Looking forward to mount this blocks.

Wait to see this blocks mounted. 8)

I was very busy the last months. I had to do another project which was already featured by modding.fr. :flow:

I removed th cover of the motherboard, I think it looks much better this way.
just the green an beige colored connectors muck up the look. :evil:

Image


Also removed the air cooler vom the KFA2 GTX970 HOF cards :)

Image

Image

Image


insert the cards...
After I've done this, I realize that the white tones are not the same. :(

Image

Image

Image


After that I mounted the Bitspower Summit.
I dont know yet, if i will keep the black mounting mechanism or change it with a nickle plated one.

Image


At first I dont want to use the white backplates, but meanwhile I think it looks much better with this backplates than without.

Image

Image


With mounted backplates:

Image

Image

Image

What do you think?
Does it look better with or without the backplates?

Some more random pictures:

Image

Image

Image


I will be back in a few days, I hope.

Without the backplate it is not bad, and it is more in the same idea of the MB ;)

I think I will keep the Backplates... but not sure atm^^

Small Update:
a while ago i removed the original motherboard tray.
Today I made a new one.
After a lot of measuring and marking I cutted a 3mm Aluminium sheet and drilled the first wholes.

Image

I also need to cut some wholes where the graphics card can be putted in.

Image

Image

Image

I forget a picture of the finished wholes... here it isnt already filed.

Image


After that I need some new motherboard standoffs. I had to made my own because there werent any standoff in the correct sice available.

Image

Image


Test fit:

hello,
I have a small update to show. :)
Achtually I'm not really in time... :|
The following update takes much more time than I expected...

I've designed a PCB to give the interior a cleaner look.

The layout is drawn with Target. I thought I can do this in one evening... not really... takes my three days.
A lot of measuring, drawing the connectors, big mistakes... etc...

At first I want to summerize same potentials, but at the powersuply I couldnt recognize same potentials with the multimeter. I dont know if this is caused by some protective mechanisms or somethin like that...

The circuit board has a 400my copper cover on both sides. I hope that is thick enough to keep the heating on a nice level even under full load.
maybe I will get some problems at the 24Pin lanes... we will see... ^^

layout side 1:

Image

layout side 2:

Image


The problem is, that I have forgotten to mirror the layout before printing...
I dont have an easy access to a laser printer... so its a problem. At the first try I asked a freind to print it for me... to complicated, so i ordered my own printer. :D
Tis is how it works: direct-toner-method


Some pages out of a catalog glued on a normal blank page and printed:

Image


cutted to right size:

Image


I wanted to try if the transfer from paper to copper works, so I cutted the PCB:

Image

Image


I take the electric iron and start to transfering:

Image

the result was really bad... :(
Second result with much more preasure comes out much better but even not perfect. I hope it will become better when i have my own printer and can change the settings of the printer.

Interesting process, never heard of it. Never try to made a custom PCB either, this explain that. Keep going, you are heading far away !

No progress on the PCB but on another site.

Until now I didnt make any progress on the exterior, this has to change. :)

A package from Plattenzuschnitt24.de arrived yesterday, thanks for the nice support. :)

Image


Based on this, I could start working.
At first I cutted some profiles:

Image


mounted to the case.
Some acrylic sheets I've ordered fitted perfectly into this rails.

Image



After that, I have done the cover for that.
At first some cutting:

Image

Image

finished cuttings:

Image


To avoid a gap between window and cover I milled some notches into the acrylic. I dont have any pictures of that but you can see them a little bit in the following pictures.

Image


Image


Image


Image


Thats it for now.
Next step: New front.

Today I continued with the front.

At first I need to mark all cutting edges before I can start sawing.
After this was done, I took the saw and my dremel:

Image

Image

Image

After that I fieled down the edges... but I dont have any pictures.


For making a bending form, I bought some MDF.

Image

Finished the bending:

Image


Tried everything on the case:

Image


Tomorrow I will glue this parts together.

Let me help you to bring some clearness into this project. ;)
I think this small update will help you.

All parts glued together:

Image

Started grinding and filling:

Image

Image



Tested the result by using some primer.
Its not perfect but looks really nice, I think. :)

Image


I friend helped me to engrave the logos of the sponsors to the sidepanel.
I think it comes out very nice. With some light behind it, it will look even better i think.
