Hello OCN!
I'm glad to finally be a member of this exellent community!
I'll hopefully learn a great deal, and if we're lucky, maybe I'll be able to teach you something aswell.
I've been working on a PC build for a couple of months. This build I call Echo and I'm going to show you my progress overtime. I haven't seen any guidelines for the picture size, maybe your forum will re-size 'em automaticly. My picture have a max resolution of 1000px.
My plans are to make a silent, well cooled, powerfull and smal PC that will not only run great, but look good also. I'm really interested in art, and I would like to say that I'm an above normal creative person. It's interesting for me to see how far I can push reality, with my current skills and machines to keep in line with my mind.
I've previously finished one PC, this was a Lian Li V1000b case and man I love'd it and I think that it turned out pretty sweet. I would love to put my teeth into it once more, but I've sold the parts. :'( I got many great ideas for making it even better than it is.
I'll just give you a taste of that build before I go one talking about the case that this worklog is about.
Previous Build
So.. As I've said, this new build is going to be powerful, smal, well cooled and a pleasant sight. The keywords are Art, Performance and Design.
I waited quite some time for the case, as It wasn't released til 2 month into the project, so I had some thinking done and some pictures taken without the case. You wanna see some of them? Well.. They'nt that good, but if you insist.
Pre-build shots
A pile of LC
A pile of MDPC-X sleeve
A pile of.. No this hardware is really mounted in a trash case
I waited quite some time for the case, as I've previously stated so there is tons of pictures from that time. I'm not going to post 'em now. Now I'm going to present the real project. The real work at hand.
Of course I have some plans for this build.. I mean, I'm going to fit an Highend watercooled gaming PC into a NAS case. It's nuts! ..Or is it just epicly awesome!
I've got some sponsors for this build, So I'll make sure to mention them:
Fractal-Design
News - Fractal Design
EkWaterblocks
Home | EkWaterBlocks
Enermax
Enermax Technology Corporation
Misco
Välkommen till Misco.se!
Coolingstuff
Cooling Stuff, vattenkylning till datorer
And this is my progress so far. As you can, or cannot see there's alot of work left.
Enermax fans, these are by far the most beautiful fans I've seen. And yes, I'm going to make a pile of it!
It's like playing with lego!
The reason I did that pile where to be able to switch the direction of the enermax logo so that it was the same as the EkWb on the rad.
Some HW and EkWb LC, love their fittings!
But what I don't love with their fittings is that they don't fit in their Reservoar. Some rash decision in the heat of battle made me go rotary-tool on it. Not a good idea when you haven't actually set on which hole is going to be stop plugged and what hole is going to be fitting. Result: I need a new Reservoar.
A modded, and sleeved Be-Quiet SFX 350w, hopefully I'm able to run this M-F with it.
Alright, now we're going somewhere, HW and LC is mounted in the Fractal-Design Array NAS case!
But the LC is in the way of the PSU.. Hmm.. What should I do? Hey, let's mount it inside the case! The PSU isn't mounted yet, and the cablemanagement are just experimental. But this is my idea.
Alright, welcome to my worklog, and to Echo! This is going to be an interesting time and I'll hope you like my work. If not, just spit out your hard ass criticism right in my face!

The Plan
- Sleeve the PSU with White, Black and wait for it.. Orange Sleeve!
- Make a Acryl roof/top for the case
- Re-Mount the PSU inside the case
- Make a Acryl adapter for the 2.5" drives in the front of the case
- Fit the LC and hardware in the really smal case
- Do something innovative and creative with the ingrediences above

The Build
And this is my progress so far. As you can, or cannot see there's alot of work left.
Some BP fittings because EK doesn't have this kind of adapters
