DarthBeavis project log: Autopsy

[DarthBeavis]

I have 4 concurrent builds underway . . .arggg. Anyways, here is the biggie:

OK here we go:
My wife (being a vet) wants a rig with a medicine/anatomy theme.
I ordered the shell of what will be the case. It is 73" tall with a 36" chest and 30" waist.

http://www.acmedisplay.com/i/!r/lg/FJMA2C.jpg

Once I get it and cut it open so I can get measurements I will order a medical skeleton model. I was going to chrome the bones but instead I am going to air brush them. I will have to reinforce the model with steel rods. My plan is to use the computer hardware as organs with two rads being the lungs, a pump being the heart, hard drives in the head along with a brain-shaped resevior. Mobo in the chest cavity, psu in the stomache/intestine area. I plan to make the chest wall open up as well as the rib cage on hinges. A buddy of mine has robotics training so we might make the chest open via a push of a button.

I am going to start this project full bore early this Summer (have trip to Maui next month so sometime after that). You guys can be sure I am gonna pick ur brains for advice on this project . . .no pun intended



The mannekin arrived at our clinic. The employees helped me unload it out of the box and into my car . . .they are convinced I am crazy . . .of course they have been seeing a steady stream of weird stuff arrive there for a couple years now including the Buffy Axe and Stake (stake not in a mod . . .yet).

I drove around town with the mannekin in the car . . .now the town thinks I am nuts. . .also picked up a rotozip and jig saw for cutting up the dude . . .

Here are the internal structure parts. I have a maid service that comes once a week (three really nice Hispanic ladies). I think they must think I am insane (they walked in the saw what u see in the pics below). I wonder why they call me Mr Diablo ;)

I got Red GTS rads (thin, not very efficient but this rig is not about uber performance . . .I can't beat Hellmouth so we are working on acceptable gaming performance with nice asthetics).

Thanks to Premier Custom PCS for finding the rads and thanks in advance to Danger Den for taking time to fab blocks (and maybe a mobo tray).

Gonna have Smooth Creations paint the skeleton. keep in mind the actual mannekin will be cast using clear plastic resin of some sort

[onekewlchip]

Now this is hilarious!
:clap:

[.Logic]

Definately like the direction this is going, and the fact that your not just going to bung everything in the chest cavity and be done with it. The idea of putting the computer components in places that correspond with actual organs is a very nice idea (pump where heart would be etc.) Can't wait to see more!:D

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

it would be so cool if you could do 4 pumps, 1 for each section of the heart

and then in each pump loop have a pa 120.1 at the limbs, hands and feet.

[chaos_being]

Man, I am watching this one like a hawk. Great ideas!

[bball4ever39]

Haha... this is going to be one awesome case :) :toast:

[leoftw]

what the... hahhahahahaha

[SaFrOuT]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ driving around the town with the mannekin in the car

[cursivearmy1]

This is the best case mod ever. Also you have some wicked gadgets.
Hows the slingbox work with a DVR?

[pH(x)]

Sir you live in luxury.

Computerized mannquines no less.

[JoeBar]

This is a very nice project... :)

[Pete]

I love the smoethness on the molding there

[GAM]

This should be interesting ;)

[AzraelDarkangel]

I have a similar but far more expensive modding idea like that. I'll be sure to show you guys if I ever win the lottery, lol. A fully articulated and maybe partially robotic? Like Chobits only we don't have tech that advanced but maybe a life size realistic model of Chii with the computer inside. Could be built by:

My plan is to use the computer hardware as organs with two rads being the lungs, a pump being the heart, hard drives in the head along with a brain-shaped resevior. Mobo in the chest cavity, psu in the stomache/intestine area. I plan to make the chest wall open up as well as the rib cage on hinges

I agree that 2 RADS will be amazing for the lungs. Red, pinkish color ideal. Black i guess if this guy is a smoker, blue for when he snuffs it.

Pump spot on as the heart.

HD as the brain i think should be just on it's own!

Res...why not make a bladder and use that as a res. I don't like the idea of the brain res and HD togther.

Mobo being in the chest protected with the ribs is perfect.

PSU, it the psu cables are long enough you could make them look like intentines.

I'll dig a link out of some other case thats in a manicin that might of some use. It's not as good as this but might help

[lasse.j5]

Now that's one interesting project :D

hilarious :P

The only problem is the resevior should be the highest point . . .well, unless of course I do a fill port in the head like the mouth area . . .hmmmm. Interesting idea.

I really appreciate all the feedback and ideas. Can't wait to get home from vacation to get started (did I just say I want to leave Maui to work on a mod . . .lol).

Off to Danger Den this weekend to get custom waterblocks and mobo tray made . . .w00t.

Mannekin is cut, skeleton is painted. Awaiting PSU from Chaoserver and some fans, CPU, and memory from a vendor. Gonna mount the two BI GTX 240s on the back as there is not room to mount inside like I had hoped. HDD will still go in the skull, fill port in the mount (which I why I did the cut away on the face . . .the skull's mouth hinges open).

Seeing how mobo fits in chest cavity:

This is certainly and interesting build, you 'chroming' turned out quite nicely. I know someone here who will most certainly take notice of that skull if they happen to see it ;)

[.Logic]

Looking great... I was becoming anxious waiting for updates :p:

[Solarfall]

DarthBeavis this has to be the whackyes looking project here in XS at the moment.. kwel bro i really like what you have done so far :up:
i want a metallic skull too :D

[YanBooth]

Interesting idea, I can't wait to see it complete. The model looks like he had an incident with a train, after you made the initial cuts, I am very keen on seeing the outcome of this project.

[Grinch]

this is the coolest mod yet!

[DarthBeavis]

I wanted to use one of these mannekins but that idea did not fly with some people ;) http://www.mannequinstore.com/sexy_mannequin.htm

[bball4ever39]

Hmm... who would object to that :rolleyes:

Anywho we need updates ;)

[DarthBeavis]

So slow going . . .
Rokk cut me a real sweet brain (two red mirrors with UV blue acrylic sammiched in the middle). I am working on placing the fiber optic cables in it now. The HDD goes thru the brain as you can see and has a Maze 4 block epoxied on with Artic Silver Epoxy (thanks again Rokk). I am making a UV bracket over the ram to hold the fiber optic cables in place over the Crucial Ballitix RAM (will drill holes in it next). The RAM will light up the brain (thanks to Vector and Jeff for the ideas and know how). I also have holes for UV LEDS around the brain tho I am not sure how many LEDS I will actually put in it.

The stamped aluminum bones I had a metal laser cutting company do (I will get their name posted another time). There will be one more smaller one mounted below these two. I hope they add some support and will help distribute the weight of the rads and rib cage assembly across the mannekin's body. There will be two rad assemblies on the back each with 4 fans in push/pull.

One of my eyes is green and one is blue hence the eye color.

ROFL My father in law has eyes just like that. One blue and one green. But thats actually related to a problem that could cause death... And he never did anything for it since the doctor said it was a problem... And thats about 20 years past :rolleyes:

DarthBeavis is about as precious as they come. Seen him evolve from an Alienware enthusiast to a mad modder over the past few years. What up DB, it's agile from NBF. Keep up the good work man.

This isn't going into the clinic for real is it?

Got the rib cage assembly in . . .it is not a perfect fit but as close as I can get it (for some reason it is hard to find matching mannekins/medical skeletons). I was going to put the stripped out PSU below the mobo but there is not room so I will put in in the right leg instead. We have turned my garage into a shop. Three of us we working on different rigs hence the multiple tables. Sprained my ankle (modding too hard I guess) so I have to take a couple days off.

Why the dissappointment? This has to be THE most creative mod I have ever come and across and so far it is looking great :D

[n00b 0f l337]

Going to do some red and blue tubes for veins all over? Might be cool to do with some 1/4" and not actually put liquid or anything in em.

The largest dissappointment was I planned on making a clear plastic shell of the mannekin and using it as the case. That proved to be too expensive, time consuming, and beyond my meager skills. The skeleton is almost but not perfect sized for the mannekin. I also do not have as much room in the torso as I wanted so the radiators had to be mounted on the back instead of where lungs would be and the PSU looks like it will be mounted in the leg. It is all about trade offs I guess.

I was thinking that you had a lot of lucky getting a skeleton that well sized for the mannequin.
The radiators will look great in the shoulder and yes, the only way to fit all perfectly is to get a custom made mannequin.

Looking forward the finished project.:up:

BTW, my credit card is not good for the Cool Jesus guys :(

I wanted no case so I had to CUT the case off to get the power plug and switch intact . . .obviously my cutting messed up something . . .cause I plugged it in and it went Mouse on me . . .poof . . .cap go boom . . .at least I think it was a cap. . .

[BucNastyHater]

Wow...looking great DB. Keep up the good work. Hahaha, this is so weird, cant wait to see the finished project.

[DarthBeavis]

Since fireboi is not helping me today I guess I will poast the tender lovings Rokk and Danger Den laid on my rig . . .we cut an ultra groovy ram cover to hold the fiber optics in place. The tribal tatoo is designed after Blarg's tramp stamp . . .

The light goes up the fibers to the pin points you see in the brain (insert millions of mucho gracias to Vector for the idea and Jeff for the advice on fiber selection):
http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/5570/dsc02265mi2.th.jpg (http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc02265mi2.jpg)

The points flicker on an off and fade in and out based on teh ram activity lights on the BallistiX Tracers.

I also wanted you all to see meh pretty multi-chrome on teh rads (which you really can only see the color-shifting in white light - too bad for LANz).

The heart is lighting up quite nicely as well thanks to the little device Jeff suggested:

Lastly, I hired security to protect meh warez whilst I sleep and get invibed with liquid refreshments at PDXLAN:

[The_Beast]

I attended PDXLAN 10 this weekend . . .took first place in the CPU Mag mod contest at the LAN. Won 1500 bucks, 2 gigs of Crucial Ballistic Tracer PDXLAN limited edition ram, and my rig will be on the cover and have a write up in CPU Mag in a few months. Special thanks to TribalOVerkill for the kick ass resevoir which received much love and admiration. Here are a few pix:

I love the ram cause it had PDXLAN on it and Vector's signature (I love PDXLAN . . .the best bunch of people). The best part for me will be seeing one of my builds on teh front cover tho. Gonna buy like 20 copies and have one framed.

[Ssilencer]
