hey all,

a few days ago i got some acryl, which i accidently set against some MDF plates

so? big deal...right? RIGHT! that IS a big deal...for me

for me it felt like a sign...a sign to mod...to mod like i've never moddedered before

anyways...i've made some sketches (sorry no 3d...i`m old

)


the bottom plate is MDF, there are 2 small sides off MDF, and 1 small MDF plate in the front...the other 2 plates are gonna be Acryl.
hopefully it'll all be stable enough

anyways, i`ve already drawn a few lines on the MDF and acryl...gonna saw them to pieces tomorrow

the lines on the acryl...the dots/plus' on the left side are for mobo standoffs.


the MDF...the left lines are for the vertical plates. the right lines are for the bottom plate.

i hope this all makes sense to you...hell i hope it all makes sense for me lol

Cheers

thanx CR, gonna need it

never did a "techstation" before...for that matter...i never even saw one in real life.

so this is gonna be fun

anyways, this is just a temporary place for my sig rig so i can mod my 1200 properly

little update: i'm sawing up the MDF in the garden of my parents...while it's 31c!

and ow yeah...get this...that temp...is in the shadow

i'm slowly melting here

so if this is my last post...it was nice knowing you all...
i'm off sawing some more MDF

87.8 F is nothing mate
walk it off

Dude that temp is nothing, just like CR said. I grew up in MN, I have seen -40 and colder. I have been in 108 degree temps. Try those and tell me what you do then lol.

But on the modding side, good luck! I am gonna get the inside of my case powdercoated once I move, but before I do that, I am gonna build an acrylic tech bench, so I will be following yours for ideas.

 

[Psycho666]

first of all...i can`t stand the heat...i just want cold weather...preferably dry

but as you might have noticed...i survived

so...update

Both MDF and Acrylic


Close up MDF


Close up Acrylic


Tomorrow i`ll start drilling some holes and get started on assembly.
hopefully it`ll all be done tomorrow so i can start the weekend by tearing down my sig rig

 

[Psycho666]

well...i finished the drilling part

and also the painting part

at first i wasn`t going to paint it but i spilled some coffee over it (don`t ask) so now i had to

here are the parts all drilled and ready (before coffee-spillage

)



here are the parts after the primer + paint...drying in the sun
(looks awefull on pics

)





so the sides are matt black, the rest is Metallic Violet (Purdy Sparkly Pruple

)

 

[CattleRustler]

you may need another coat of paint, but lets see pics after its dry first

 

[Psycho666]

well it`s actually pretty smooth in real life, and it all looks perfect...it only looks hideous on pics lol

anyway...since it`s so warm here, the paint is already dry, so assembly has started

i think it looks nice already, and it`s actually more robust than i imagined (and more then i need lol)
i`m gonna go assemble the rest

 

[Psycho666]

well, i`d say it`s done now

still not sure about the middle plate, but i`ll see what i`ll do with it when i start to transfer my sig rig from the Antec 1200 to this

and i really suck at taking pictures

the top plate looks all bent on the pic

i`ll make some more pics when i start to transfer it all cause i`m sure i`ll have to make some changes on the way

Edit: Total time working on this so far? 4 hours

 

[Psycho666]

well it's all done now

the computer is up and running again,





i'm using the stock cooler for now



because my watercooling is being cleaned on my balcony
Watercooled balcony ftw!

and this all is done so i can mod my 1200 in peace

well, thanx for watching, i'm gonna go on with the main project

cheers!

 

[CattleRustler]
