I really love this buttons

[Snakez]

Now let's start making the hole in the top off the case for the radiator.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0003.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0004.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0009.JPG

Not finished yet :D
We will make a layer of 5mm green uv plexi between top off the case and radgrill.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0017.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0018.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0025.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0029.JPG

Not done yet, need some fine work now.

We also painted the inside off the top after making the hole in it.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0026.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0027.JPG

Now let it dry.
So started to look for best place to put the powersupply and waterpump.
And also put some coolers inside the case to see if the colors are nice togheter.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0013.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0012.JPG

Thats all for now :D
More updates will follow.

[Snakez]

Did some more work in the plexi cover for the top.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/IMG_9228.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/IMG_9226.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/IMG_9229.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/IMG_9231.JPG

Is starting to get there
Then only thing left is paint the grill

[Snakez]

Today(sunday) was a day of rest.
So we just cleaned the modplace , so we can walk again without bumping in to everything

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker1.jpg

[Snakez]

Then we better start working again.
Still a lot to be done :D

At first let's finish the radgrill and plexi.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0042.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0043.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0053.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0068.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0060.JPG

Now lets finish some more work for the top off the case.
Another piece of plexi needed for the top.
So let's saw it first.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0041c.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0054c.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0046c.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0052.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0051.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0048.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0056.JPG

We didn't like the way the radiator had to be connected to the coolers.
So whe changed it , and connected it with m4 boults.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0057.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0067.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0069.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0070.JPG

This is where we are with this mod now.
I wil try to update more frequently

[Snakez]

I did host my pics somewhere else , because it was crap where i had them before.

Was great to see my mod @ the frontpage of Bittech :D
And offcourse an update :hehe:

First polish the cpu block:

Before:
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker3.jpg

After some work :
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker4.jpg

Ready:
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00239.JPG


Vga block:

Before:
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker5.jpg

After:
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker6.jpg

This baby did a good job polishing them :D

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker2.jpg

Then it's time to put in some hardware , so we can start measure up some things.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00242.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00241.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00238.JPG

Because of the deadline for the mod is in 2 weeks.
Then it will have its first lanparty.
We have decided to build it in 2 fase's.
After the lanparty we will rebuild the whole front and some more things.
But for now still a lot of work before the lanparty.

First build in the radiator
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00229.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00231.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00220.JPG

[Snakez]

And work on the plexi on the top
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00222.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00233.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00228.JPG

Then plug in the power supply to see some first lights :naughty:
Sorry for bad quality of pics , forgot my camera so had to use my phone.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00212.JPG

The blue light in the power supply i dont like, i think i will put in a green one like the rest in there

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00206.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00211.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00209.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00207.JPG

Blue or green in the power supply , what do you guys think???

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00210c.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00215.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00214.JPG

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSC00213.JPG

[Snakez]

And finally a little update from this afternoon , with normal camera :D

Today we made a plexi cover
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/DSCF0078c.JPG

Needs a little work to make it fit
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker7.jpg

And some holes for the hoses
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker8.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker9.jpg

And now lets make a mall for the stealthing part
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker10.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker11.jpg

Then it should look a little like this
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker12.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker13.jpg

Thats it for now.
tomorrow buy some alluminium to make it from that

[Snakez]

It's time for another small update.

Today we started working on the sidepanel.
First measure things up.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9239.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9240.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9245.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9252.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9251.JPG

Let's see how it looks :)

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9256.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9257.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9253.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9254.JPG

Then some fine work by hand.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9258.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9259.JPG

Looks pretty straight like this.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9262.JPG

After that the corners nice and straight.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9261.JPG

And the result :D

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9271.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9263.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9265.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9267.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/sidepanel/IMG_9270.JPG

[Snakez]

Today i started working on the Metal for the stealthing part..

For some things a Darley is a great tool to use..

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker14.jpg

To cut the steel ….

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker15.jpg

Draw it and then polishing it.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker16.jpg

The First piece out...

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker17.jpg

Next the cutout for the radiator.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker18.jpg

This one went quickly too.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker19.jpg

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker20.jpg

And then to the angle folder ,

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker21.jpg

Nice fit. Now the last part. :worried:

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker22.jpg

And that went great too. :hip:

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker23.jpg

Now prepare for the worst job. Galvanised metal is real bad for your health to welt. Normaly I don’t prefer to do it like this , but was no other option.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker24.jpg

Some wires in between for the front opening.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker25.jpg

Welded togheter.

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker26.jpg

Its difficult to welt 1,5 mm metal with a 1,2 mm wire

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker27.jpg

But the polishing machines are doing a good job. :thumb:

http://ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker28.jpg

Next fase holes for powersupply and watercooling.

But before the next fase we must know of its fit.

[Snakez]

Now that Ediejo did such a nice job on the metal for stealthing part.
We also must see if it fitts.
So first remove the hardware and top of the case.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9274.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9273.JPG

And now hope it fitts.

http://www.dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9278.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9277.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9283.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9279.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9290.JPG

Then also put the window in front.
Really want to see the result.

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9284.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9281.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9289.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9287.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9286.JPG

http://dutchcriminalsclan.nl/CMmod/stealthing/IMG_9288.JPG

Real great imo:P

[Snakez]

Today a perfect day to finch the stealthing part.
First some calculation for the holes.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker29.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker30.jpg

Snakez placed the pump.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker31.jpg

Also some UV-Leds for the steahlting part..

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker32.jpg

Drilling the holes.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker33.jpg

Last part by hand.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker34.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker35.jpg

Its fits.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker36.jpg

Also the tubules for the vga

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker37.jpg

Put everything back to look where we need to cut some steel.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker38.jpg

This is what disappears under it.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker39.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker40.jpg

Make some extra holes for the cables

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker41.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker42.jpg
This one fit also.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker43.jpg

One big hole to make.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker44.jpg

I think this one is on his end.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker45.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker46.jpg

I am right back with part 2 but first a shower.

[Snakez]

After a long day working in the casemod place, I need a shower.
I smell a little bit better now, says my girlfriend.
Time to go on with the big hole for the psu.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker47.jpg

Last piece with a file.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker48.jpg

I think it is better to turn the fan grill 45 degrees.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker49.jpg

There is the putty again. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker50.jpg

And scoured.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker51.jpg

And thane some spray putty.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker52.jpg

I don’t have a Photo from the primer on the stealthing part.
But in bleu I have some

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker53.jpg

Also the rest what I forgot to spray bleu. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker54.jpg

And at last for today 2 photo’s with the stealthing part in the case.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker55.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker56.jpg

Tomorrow more after the Formule 1 Race. :D

[Snakez]

Today not such a long das as yesterday:P


And a picture with sidepanel , we forgot it yesterday

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker57.jpg


A whole day soldering the leds.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker58.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker59.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker60.jpg

What a wires :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker61.jpg

With s few tiewraps it looks much much better.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker62.jpg

They work.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker63.jpg

Now the rest.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker64.jpg

[Snakez]

Today I start with the plexi part from the side panel.

Take over the measure firstly.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker90.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker91.jpg

Snakez put the hardware in the case. Only we have hoses to short.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker92.jpg

Making the holes in the sidepanel

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker93.jpg

Put some tape on the Coolermaster sidepanel.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker94.jpg

Now I can take over the holes from the plexi.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker95.jpg

Than we saw it.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker96.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker97.jpg

Making the sidepanel some smoother.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker98.jpg

And this is how it looks with the sidepanel on his place..

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker99.jpg

Turn the leds on.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker100.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker101.jpg

And make it dark pleace.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker102.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker103.jpg

Fase 1 is ready. When the watercooling is complete it is only fill up the watercooling.
Fase 2 coming soon after this weekend.

This part doesn’t fit anymore now. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker110.jpg

[Snakez]

Today picked up the last piece of hose. Friday the system has to go to NetGamez. (http://www.netgamez.nl)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker113.jpg

This we use for the coolant.

Anti Alg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker114.jpg

Flip the case on it's back and fill her up.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker115.jpg

Back on it's feet , from light to dark.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker116.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker117.jpg

And now whit sidepanel on.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker118.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker119.jpg

[Snakez]

Today started working on the stacker again. sawwed the plexi with a sawingmachine , much quicker then by hand.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker121.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker123.jpg

This with machines too.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker122.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker124.jpg

Hard to see , buth nice and straight.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker125.jpg

The piece of 5mm plexi is coming here.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker126.jpg

So we can hide the cables there.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker129.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker130.jpg

The piece of cardbord will be replaced with a piece of bleu iron.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker131.jpg

That other piece of plexi si going into the front.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker127.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker128.jpg

And now it's standing there completely stripped:P
In only 15 minutes , so is easy to strip.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker132.jpg

Tomorrow more.

[iSlash]

wow... i'm speachless O.O
How much have you spent (will be spent) on everything???

[Snakez]

wow... i'm speachless O.O
How much have you spent (will be spent) on everything???

Thats the nicest part of this mod.
It's low budget:)
Total cost when it's finished wil be around 1300 euro.
Thats including the hardware and watercoolingparts.

[Xavior]

Sick!

Tubing looks a little cloudy, but the dark pictures with the leds on are so amazing. Loving the blue/green/UV color combination.

the tubing is a bit cloudy.
waiting for thr tygon tubing to arrive

[Snakez]

Today we continue with the front , stil waiting for some parts , but will be there tomorrow.

This is what we want, the plexi underneath , and in front a metal plate.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker133.jpg

Look at the effect of the light.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker134.jpg

Made 2 holes in the plexi , for power and reset buttons.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker139.jpg

And they need to go in the metal too.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker143.jpg
.
In the front plate we make holes , these are for power and reset button.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker136.jpg

After some work it looks a lot better.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker137.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker138.jpg

No lets see how it looks , with the buttons in there , not at its place yet , just with some tape to see.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker140.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker141.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker142.jpg

Al the other parts in front will go the same way , fancontroller , reservoir and stealth the dvd player.

To get enough airflow for the harddisks , we just saw a hole in the plexi , and from the front he can suck the air in .

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker144.jpg

More tomorrow. ;)

[Snakez]

On the other camera i had some more pics.

[LordofDoom]

So... beautiful!!! **drool**

-Satan

[Serra]

Wow. That is one of the best Stacker mods I have seen in a long while. Each time you started doing something new I thought you were going to do something that would make it look bad, but every time it turned out looking great.

Just one question though, what are your plans for a CD/DVD drive now that you have that large steel plate on the front? Are you going to cut a hole in it or use an external CD/DVD drive and connect via USB at the back?

[Xion X2]

You guys need to open up your own shop if you already haven't. Incredible stuff.

[BlaqMale]

NEW WR!!!!! j/k most pics i've seen of a single pc. nice work btw :D

[PowerSlide]

nice job!!!!

very nice front even to me a little like a robot face :D

[aznblueeboi]

Not digging the colors BUT...that is some absolutely FANTASTIC modding and skills you possess! :thumbsup:

[Snakez]

Today continue working the front.

Now the holes are nice in the center:P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker152.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker154.jpg

Today some parts did arrive. From the OC-shop (http://www.oc-shop.nl/) we got the following stuff.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker146.jpg

OC-Press PVC Tube 1/2"
Tygon 1/2 Tubing
Dye Lite UV Reactive Green (2ml)

Now we have to choose wich tube we will use. From one side Tygon but the OC-Press PVC Tube ½ (http://www.oc-shop.nl) is great too. :)

The Tygon tube.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker147.jpg

De OC-Press tube.


http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker148.jpg

The reservoir and Musketeer arrived too.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker149.jpg

Only we treath the Musketeer very badly:P . (sorry, Coolermaster.)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker150.jpg

One part we use ass mall, The other we will need to put it back in the case with.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker151.jpg

In the meanwhile all mesurments where taken and draw on the plexi.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker155.jpg


Then some sawing and stay inside the lines, and then some handjob.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker156.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker157.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker158.jpg

Last the small holes for the Coolermaster Musketeer.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker159.jpg

Then it should look like this.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker160.jpg

Next job , make holes in the metal part.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker153.jpg

See ya tomorrow:P

[GAM]

Snakez, I'm surprised you're not using holesaws on your (Ediejo's?) drill press to cut all those holes!?! ...especially in the acrylic and any aluminium or thin sheet metal. At least five, maybe 6 (from small to large) of those holes above could also be cut into your sheet metal fairly easily too, depending on its thickness.

Also, I was glad to see you started using the bench saw to cut your straight edges/rectangular pieces. Reading through your worklog I kept thinking, why are you using the fret(?) saw for those straight lines... operating in a well equiped workshop and all) ;)

[Tip for anyone, never try to use a 'drop saw' method (need to check correct terminology--lowering your workpiece onto the blade for internal cuts, which can be done quite easily but with great care using wood) on acrylic using your bench saw!!! Things'll fly, people'll get hurt, and least... your workpiece will be ruined. Fortunately, I didn't get hurt ;)]

btw, I'm working on a 'Lab PSU' to start experimenting with 'LEDs behind acrylic/grills/MeshX' combos for my front panel, inspired by your LED lit acrylic behind grills (e.g., top rad).

Keep up the good work and inspiration. :)

[AlbanianOC]

speechless, you should have just started from scratch.

[SparkyJJO]

again very nice, I wish I had the know-how and tools to do stuff like that!

[Snakez]

speechless, you should have just started from scratch.

Maybe one of the next projects:P
Just got started.;)

[Ediejo]

@GAM, we only use the hole saw for metal. When we use that in plexi the holes are not so nice.

With the bench saw I can work very well, close to the lines. Only some handwork left. ;)

[Snakez]

Today update live from HWI Dagen 2006.


The stand where we work on the Cooelrmaster Stacker.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Fotos/HWI-MoM2006/hwi1.jpg

Lots of peoplle coming to watch , despite we started later because we forget a box with tools.

http://www.ediejo.nl/Fotos/HWI-MoM2006/hwi15.jpg

Today was a lot of handwork .

http://www.ediejo.nl/Fotos/HWI-MoM2006/hwi16.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Casemod/Stacker/stacker157.jpg

http://www.ediejo.nl/Casemod/Stacker/stacker158.jpg

[Patriote]

That is some wicked sick stuff ! Nice Modding!

[_TheMaster_]

This is a great project, congrats on the beatiful stacker

[james111]

Wow, simply amazing!

[Snakez]

Today part 2 of the HWI Days.

The reservoir fits nicely.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker161.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker170.jpg

Spend a lot of time explaining to people.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker162.jpg

Now the holes in the metal part , first by hand.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker163.jpg


With the machine this works great also.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker165.jpg


http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker164.jpg

The again look if it fits.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker166.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker167.jpg

And some teamwork between the Masters of Modding and Masters of Overclocking.


They needed a hole for a sensor.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker168.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker169.jpg

Also the Moddingmasters from Belgium are charmed off Proxxon (http://www.proxxon.com)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker172.jpg

[JoeBar]

Very nice project! :up:

[Snakez]

Today again working on the front.
First some measuring. They have to keep the complete front in it's place.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker173.jpg

Then again some drilling.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker180.jpg
The holes we make a little bit bigger. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker181.jpg

Stackers have lots of holes to use , to put them in place.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker176.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker179.jpg

Yes it will work , but 4 are to long.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker174.jpg

This ones. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker182.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker177.jpg

Mark them where to cut.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker178.jpg

These are @ place , for the dvd we have another solution , as you will see later :)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker175.jpg

And again painters tape.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker183.jpg

Making the markings on the plexi.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker190.jpg

And drill again .

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker188.jpg

This is the way the plexi wil stay on it's place , also we can fix the metal part on them.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker186.jpg

A little closer. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker185.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker184.jpg

Some may have seen it already , what a BIG flag.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker189.jpg

And it was not all we could take with us. :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker187.jpg

Till tomorrow.

[bball4ever39]

Wow thats awesome :slobber:

Can't wait to see the final product.

[lowfat]

wow i am speechless.

[GAM]

Hey guys, I'm struggling to replicate the lighting effects of the LEDs under the plexi. Can you give me some details i.e., size, colour, luminosity/brighness? Also, are the LEDs recessed within the plexi or sitting just below? I'm guessing they're recessed a little at least because it the plexi sits flat on the top of the case and the LEDs must be protruding through a little. To increase the intensity and spread of the light, have applied any reflective surface/finish to the underside of the stacker badge thingy (top, front)?

Hopefully you won't mind sharing these details with me. I really want to achieve the same effect but I am using darker, purple and black tinted acrylic, which may be the main problem.

[Snakez]

Today sawed the last piece's out of the metal front.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker191.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker192.jpg

Last piece by hand.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker193.jpg

Again some tape to make the drawing of the holes.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker194.jpg

Needs fine measuring.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker195.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker196.jpg

Marking the spot.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker197.jpg

Some drilling.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker198.jpg

And it fitts.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker199.jpg

Make them the right size.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker200.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker201.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker203.jpg

And then 10 x

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker204.jpg

Next phase of the front.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker205.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker206.jpg

Made a little mistake , lets fix it.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker207.jpg

Done.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker208.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker211.jpg

Thats also on it's place.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker212.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker213.jpg

Tomorrow the dvd , and make it nice and straight.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker236.jpg

Lets look with some light to see if it is what we tought it would be..

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker237.jpg

Back again tomorrow..

[SparkyJJO]

this case is turning out amazing, keep it up!

[LordofDoom]

:O
How much do you charge? They're beautiful!

[Maviryk]

Great modding skills. I wish I had as many tools as you do.

Few airflow questions though. The fan blowing onto the HDs at the bottom front of your case, where is that air being exhausted? Looked like you duct it to you PSU, but your PSU has a 120mm type fan.

Also, all the fans for your mobo compartment look like they're exhausting, where is the fresh air coming in? From your pics look like you have the fans on the rad sucking air off it.

But other the the airflow, nice work.

[Snakez]

Today started spraying the boults..

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker238.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker239.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker240.jpg

And put the rest in varnisch.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker241.jpg

And got a little visitor , look on top front plate between the holes.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker242.jpg

A ………..FLY

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker243.jpg

Then there is only one thing to do , start over again.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker250.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker251.jpg

Then continue on the front , prepare the holes for the reservoir.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker244.jpg

Once one is on it's place , do the rest with the drill

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker245.jpg

The holes fit.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker246.jpg

Musketeer also going in.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker247.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker248.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker249.jpg

Because we couldn't wait to see how it looks , we where to fast with building it up again , and we damaged the paintjob on the top front piece.
So lets start over tomorrow.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker252.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker253.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker254.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker255.jpg
.
Because the opening between the plexi and metal is big , we decided to also spray the cover of the Musketeer and dvdrom , for details :P
We have 2 weeks more time left now , so why not use them. :)

[Timmay]

My god, well done mate... Love the daily updates.

[SparkyJJO]

darn those flies...

What res is that?

[granulf]

With this speed, I wonder how far you've come in 2 weeks :D . Excellent work, my stacker will look boring compared to this :p:

[phelan1777]

that is an insane mod, I love it.

[Snakez]

that is an insane mod, I love it.

M2 :)

[Ediejo]

And I get pain in my head from the paint job, but I fix it. :slash:

[GAM]

Good on ya' Ediejo!

Another thing I really like about this mod, is your collaboration. I feel like seeking someone in my area to collaborate on a project like this too. Particularly as I have all the tools (well most) and much of the skills. Electrical and electronics is my weekness. Oh, and watercooling. I've never done it before ;)

Looking really good guys, keep up the good work.

ps. I'm still keen to get more info on those LEDs and lighting effects when you get a chance :rolleyes:

[Ediejo]

Snakez give GAM the details from the led's. Now he ask it again. So please give it. ;)

[Xavior]

darn those flies...

What res is that?

Looks like a AquaComputer Aquatube.

Anodized aluminium and 1/8'' threading, sadly.

[Ediejo]

Yes, it is a Aquatube.

[Snakez]

Snakez give GAM the details from the led's. Now he ask it again. So please give it. ;)

I will send him an PM later, little busy sorry.

[Snakez]

Instead of working on the led's Ediejo cleaned the moddingplace.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker260.JPG

After that i sprayed the last parts in varnish , so they can dry out the whole night.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker259.JPG

And sprayed the rest of them blue, tomorrow the varnish.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker258.JPG

[Snakez]

Today let's work on the front for a change :P.
First polish the front , you can buy great stuff for it:)
Click (http://www.pinballwizard.nl/Winkel/nl/dept_101.html)

First nr 3.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker261.jpg

Then nr 2.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker262.jpg

And the clean with nr 1.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker263.jpg

The polished part will shine like this.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker264.jpg

You already did see 2 of them (Led's) First drill holes , We use a piece of wood so the plexi won;t break.:)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker265.jpg

Here will come 10 led's.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker266.jpg

So , they are on their place , only push them in a little deeper.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker267.jpg

Then let;s solder them.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker268.jpg

What a wiremess :(

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker269.jpg

This looks better , after all they will be visible ( Partly )

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker270.jpg

And now first coffee , see ya guys later.

[Snakez]

And build the front in again.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker271.jpg

Then offcourse we want to know if the first 2 led's work , there are at a difficult place.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker272.jpg

Then put the metal front in place to see the effect.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker273.jpg

This is the space between plexi and metal plate.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker274.jpg

1 side left.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker275.jpg

Straigth into the lens.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker276.jpg

Another one with metal front inplace.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker277.jpg

Eat some for now , see ya later.

[Snakez]

All the led's work now. :)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker278.jpg

First plate in place..

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker279.jpg

This way all the wires will be out of sight.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker280.jpg

Me polishing the plexi what will go under the radgrill.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker281.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker282.jpg

If there was any doubt of the spaces between the metal plates .... Now they should be gone :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker283.jpg

From this , we where stunned ourselves :)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker284.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker285.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker286.jpg

Also the inside looks more as one now.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker287.jpg

Till tomorrow.

[GAM]

Nice work! Looking great.

[SparkyJJO]

simply amazing :slobber:

[JoeBar]

Very nice! :up:

[Snakez]

Also in the plexi between the radgrill we need to put some leds, so lets drill very carefully.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker289.jpg

Thats all we do with this today.Continue with the Musketeer.
Because we leave the top of it open, we have to sleeve the 2 cable's aswell , because they will be a little visible.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker290.jpg

Then ofcourse whe have to be able to control the musketeer, what a job :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker291.jpg

And then the hardest job.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker292.jpg

At place:P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker293.jpg

Long enough. ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker294.jpg

This is how it looks like from a distance.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker295.jpg

And like this in the dark.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker296.jpg

Buttons working too.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker297.jpg

And dark again:P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker298.jpg

Lets put reservoir in too then.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker299.jpg

When the res light up , the mod is ready

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker300.jpg

We are thinking of changing for blue dye for the coolant , because whe think looks better with the rest of the front, what do you guys think about it?

Meanwhile i will mail o.c.-schop.nl (http://www.oc-shop.nl/)for blue dye.

Next project is already waiting. :oops:

http://www.need-modding.nl/Fotos/KleinIndex/stacker288k.jpg (http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker288gr.jpg)
Click.

[Snakez]

Today some work at the top..
First solder some leds.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker301.jpg

Seem to work fine:P.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker302.jpg

Lets turn of the lights. :)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker303.jpg

From another angle.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker304.jpg

Look at the shine on the plastic cover.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker305.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker306.jpg

In total for top only 9 high bright leds are used , green colored , don't need uv light because is fluoresend plexi. Only thing it needs is light. :)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker307.jpg

Tomorrow no update ,After 16 days non stop working and modding it's time for a day of rest.

[Nanometer]

You need to enter this into a contest if you didn't already plan to. This is the most amazing case mod I have ever seen! you are going to be winning contests like crazy!

[Ediejo]

@Nanometer, We enter this casemod into a contest from Coolermaster. (http://www.coolermaster.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5052)
And when that’s done we wait and see what happened. :yepp:

[SoulGG]

Been observiing this thread since day one. I must say very well done:)

[Magnj]

:drool:

Amazing

[Snakez]

Some of the paitnwork got messed up , so fix it . Because of the varnish all needs to go off.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker308.jpg

And spraypuddy , tomorrow spraypaint bleu again.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker309.jpg


And when im here , why not sleeve some cables.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker310.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker311.jpg

Even the little boults are blue :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker312.jpg

And here you can see the space between plexi and metalf front again.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker313.jpg

See ya tomorrow.

[Snakez]

I messed up the varnish drilling extra holes for leds, so to bad.

So spray it again.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker315.jpg


http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker316.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker319.jpg

Snakez building in the pump , when waiting for paint to dry , i've bin working on the wires.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker320.jpg

Also hooked up the reservoir. The OC-press tube (http://www.oc-shop.nl) is really great.:P
You can twist it in every direction without folding it , real good stuff:P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker321.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker322.jpg

Also there was something in the way , The backside of the Musketeer was in the way for the fittings of the radiator, So what else is there to do then cut away the backside .And look if it fits then. tomorrow i will paint the edge of the Musketeer casing blue , and then problem solved.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker323.jpg

It fitts :P
Will not say we are there yet , dit has to go on it's place to nice and thight.:)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker324.jpg

Tomorrow and saturday wil be solder day . Lot's of wires to be hooked up and stowed away.
Total of 44 led's , So 88 wires to hide. :)
And the wire is teflonwire , hard to strip :P

[topaimz]

wow... :slobber:

Now this is nice modding :D

Keep us updated, cause, one, your work is and looks awesome,
two, I'm slowly learning from the pictures how to mod my own case :)

Nice job guys, you guys deserve a hand :clap:

[Ediejo]

After having taken a little rest friday and saterday, the batteries where charged again. That meant starting one hell of a job Sunday morning.:
Placing 25 LEDs, connecting them, ánd solving another big problem. The Musketeer wouldn’t fit.

The start: the protection tubes for the LEDs.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker325.jpg

Putting the LEDs in

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker328.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker325.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker327.jpg

Outlining the extra holes in the plexiglass:.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker326.jpg

Solder away!

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker329.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker330.jpg

And then we have thirty wires:.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker331.jpg

This really is a delicate job… ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker332.jpg

The we have the big problem. It seems the connections for the sound are too long, so now the Musketeer doesn’t fit for the second time in a row.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker333.jpg

So what I did is cutting of the connectors (first looked where the plus and min of the sound are and the desolder…

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker335.jpg

Then we drill the holes in the circuit board.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker334.jpg

Where once the connector was are now three wires.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker336.jpg

Cut them of and it looks just fine ;).

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker337.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker338.jpg

Did you think i was ready? Not realy, the power connector had to go off too.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker340.jpg

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker339.jpg

So you see, for every problem we have a solution. The Musketeer is in place and doesn’t have to come out ever again!

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker341.jpg

No, Ediejo isnt ready with the solder iron yet. This site isn’t thát much….

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker342.jpg

But the other side…

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker343.jpg

To be clear, that big bunch down there too… ;)
Later on you won’t see much of it anymore ;)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker344.jpg

The oc-press tube (http://www.oc-shop.nl) barely fits through the holes, but it fits just right!

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker345.jpg

This is everything of wiring that will be in sight. The two wires for the sound in and out of the Musketeer and the two black/red wires for the light of the Musketeer and harddrive will fit nicely behind the motherboard.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker346.jpg

After a twelve hour day in my moddingroom i think it’s enough for today. Tomorrow more soldering and if everything goes right we’ll finish building Tuesday. But then everything has to go right.. or else Wednesday is another day ;)

[Ediejo]

A small update today because of a small issue which delayed the whole lot a bit (with a size of approx. 5mm ;)

I looks like all leds are operational …..
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker347.jpg

With exception of one ;) because the stock is gone, all leds are used and there is still one which needs to be replaced.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker348.jpg

This is the guilty one , the pain in the ass, it’s already removed but now we need to replace it with a new one and you can be assured that it’s not easy because of its location.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker349.jpg

It it’s not easy to spot, but to get the perfect result it must be replaced …
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker350.jpg

The case fans who provide the wanted result, the produced light is superb.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker351.jpg

A shot with the side panel. As you can see the number of led’s did not change, due to the fact that the resistors are changed the leds produced more light then they suppose to do. This will have a negative impact on the life/endurance of the leds, that why we swapped the resistors which decreased the brightness of the leds but improved the life. That’s also the reason that now more leds are used to get the same result.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker352.jpg

Tomorrow my Canon 350D should be ready after it needed to have some repair. This means the quality of the photos will improve dramatically. The Fuji camera which I used today is not able to cope with the UV light …..

[Snakez]

Today first thing i did was pick up de Canon 350D up.
So i can give you guys some better pics:P

This is what the 350 makes of it :)

With the lights on.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker353.jpg

Then a little darker.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker354.jpg

Then totall darkness.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker355.jpg

After that started on exchanging the led that doesn't work. To get there the whole stealthing plate needed to go out again. What a job.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker356.jpg

De top led is changed in a few minutes. Now i can start working on hiding all the wires. And even when it takes 2 days for the led to arrive , it doesn't matter . Still enoght work to do.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker357.jpg

Cool , fans not working lighting up like that.:)

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker360.jpg

On this pic you can see the prurple uv glow comming out of the case. :P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker359.jpg

It seems we did do not much today....It was hours of work changing the led.
He's fine like this for today , back again tommorow.

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Casemods/Stacker/stacker358.jpg

[SparkyJJO]

hmm that is the bad thing about all this, if something doesn't work right or goes bad it is a pain to replace....

[Ediejo]

@SparkyJJO, Yes, that’s right. But if your building a normal p.c. the job is done in 30 min max. The job to build the case like this takes about 100 ore more hours. So I take the pain to replace. ;)

[sup3rfly]

you guys have to do it slow and make it perfect so that it go smoothly...anyway good luck u 2... i wish i have so much tools to start my own mod too

[Ediejo]

And some high resolution photos at 1600 pix.

Time is a problem. But I am 41 jear old so that’s the reason for some patience. ;)

[Snakez]

Luckely Snakez did come after all , So this works a little faster.

Before we close the stealthing part , first a last check up.

Then there is another ugly hole , this will be solved partly like this.
There is a little piece cut out for the power cable (left bottom)
This will be a little longer so the power cable fits nice and nicely.

[cronic]

nice work on the stacker project. Have you thought about making cover panels that would cover the area beside the drive area. I know that the side panels hide the wiring when they are on, but the cover panels would hide the wiring when the side panels are off. giving it an extremly slick stealth, and finished look. just a thought.

[Ediejo]

Yes, I totaly agree with you.

[J0d3r]

I've been looking @ this project at bit-tech.net. You done a great job eidejo, like all mods you have done. Congrats!

[SparkyJJO]

nice finish :clap:

So you have a stacker 830 to mod now as well? I look forward to it :D

[Ediejo]

@J0d3r, Thanks. For the compliment.

@SparkyJJO, no the stacker830 is standing by Snakez. And there is also a little problem during this casemod we find out that it is very hard to cooperate with each other. So before the casemod was finish to cooperation between Snakez and Ediejo is over. I do the work and Snakez take the honour and he is the men. I think Snake will mod the 830 by himself.

[Hey_Its_Cole]

That is so clean!!!

Today i started on the Stacker 830 , so will do this one on my own.
Will start posting progress soon in new topic.
