[Project] Sanguineus Cinis Cineris aka "Blood Ashes" *Updated Sep 20* - Overclock.net

**repo_man** · 05-25-08

Uh oh, time for another Repo build!

I give you Sanguineus Cinis Cineris, which is Latin for "Blood Ashes".

This was originally going to be my Mod Comp 2008 entry but I will not have the time I wanted to dedicate to it and have it finished before deadline, so here I am!
Here's the beginning shot of this build.

What I am envisioning for this build and things I want to do -

A futuristic robotic machine factory
"Menacing" red lights glowing from the front 'vents' via 120mm led fans
Blow-hole "Helipad" on the top- In progress
Make new back panel moving the PSU to the bottom and mobo up top Finished!
Window - In Progress
Move HDD cage Finished!
Red lights under the base
Paint finish that looks like weathered steel or rusted metal

Just some random shots of the build so far. All of these pics can be found in the update post below.

Ok, I'm going to update this one a little different than I did Phoenix. I'll just post direct links to the updates I post.

Sorry if I screwed up your reserved posts.

Good ideas though, good luck with the mod.
We have the same screwdriver/drill thing!

IMO, that BMW case is fugly. Lol, I want a more subtle look I think, but thats just me. Thanks for the linkage though man!

Ok, so here is the first installment of pics and work.

Shots of the case and the tear down (hardware was previously removed)

^^Going to remove that bar and make a bottom section.

Plenty of airflow for the mobo huh? lol

The I/O panel just unscrewed. Thats nice, I might reuse this.

Got two cracks I have to patch in the base, assuming I'll keep it

The front taken off.

I wish I had the key that worked this momentary lock switch

This would be nice, I'll have to search and see if another key might fit

Got that bar removed. I'll have a post a little later on getting pop-rivets out, I've seen a few guys asking a/b this lately.

So, what do you guys think??
