[Scratch Build] Magum ITX LC System - Finished
27
Hi, all.
I recently joined OCN, and wanted to share my last scratch build with OCN.
Unfortunately, I wasn't keeping records of build process for the project..
For my upcoming project, I will make sure that I keep records of build process and post them here.

The goal of project was building a small system with performance for gaming.
That's why I named it as "Magnum." Small but powerful!

It's heavy though.

Though it came out to be bigger than expected, I am pretty satisfied with its size and performance level.
(Final Size W x D x H - 300mm x 400mm x 270mm)
This is my first post on OCN.
If this post is not proper for this forum.. someone please let me know.

Starting with drawing of all parts.. It took about a month and half to finalize all dimensions of each parts.
Another 2 weeks for producing all parts using CNC machine at workshop.

3mm / 5mm black anodized aluminum is mainly used.
Here are the completed system images.
Hope you enjoy them!

What do use to take such good quality photos?

Thanks Pancake! I had to use a little trick to set all water tubing in straight line. First I tried to use copper pipe, but it was too difficult. hehOriginally Posted by KillThePancake

Yes... The way people post articles here is totally different from what I am used with. Guess it will take some time to learn.Originally Posted by yoi
this has got to be the first post ever lol
and a impressive scratch build :O

It's a small water tank that is made to change direction of tubing. Without it, it was impossible to connect tubes in straight line.Originally Posted by revned1705
Great build...what is that MEG Hydro thing there?

Thanks! The monitor is 27 inches. Maybe that's why it looks smaller that what it is.Originally Posted by She loved E
Do want!!! :O
It looks smaller than you say, unless that's a monster LCD.

Hi, Re-Evolution. Thanks for compliment! Yes... CNC machine does help a lot when you want to produce parts of your own. I love it!Originally Posted by Re-Evolution
Awesome build a work of art IMO.
Builds like that are the very reason I can't wait to buy or build a CNC Router.

Hi ArchLinux. Errr.. The structure of case is specifically designed for the hardware I use. Unless you use all identical hardware I used, the drawings won't help your project much.. Hope you understand!Originally Posted by ArchLinuxFTW
Hey, is it possible for you to share your dimensions/drawings? I am doing a scratch build myself and have access to a waterjet cutter. Would love to be able to incorporate some of what you have done!

Thanks Maestro0428!Originally Posted by maestro0428
Very nicely done. High quality build for sure.

Thanks Strong Island. I am still learning how to blend into OCN. Maybe I will try for it with my next project. Thank you!Originally Posted by strong island 1
ya that case and the hydro thing is really cool. Amazing build. I don't know what the requirements are but this should definitely be a candidate for mod of the month.

However I can still take some of the measurements you used, such as for fan cutouts, power supply screw hole spacing, etc. I currently have most of my CAD work done, but it helps save some time if you can use what other people usedOriginally Posted by Mobilizer
