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/Case...stacker133.jpg
Look at the effect of the light.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker134.jpg
Made 2 holes in the plexi , for power and reset buttons.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker139.jpg
And they need to go in the metal too.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker143.jpg
.
In the front plate we make holes , these are for power and reset button.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker136.jpg
After some work it looks a lot better.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker137.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...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/Case...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 .

More tomorrow. ;)
On the other camera i had some more pics.

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

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?
You guys need to open up your own shop if you already haven't. Incredible stuff.
NEW WR!!!!! j/k most pics i've seen of a single pc. nice work btw :D
nice job!!!!
very nice front even to me a little like a robot face :D
Not digging the colors BUT...that is some absolutely FANTASTIC modding and skills you possess! :thumbsup:
Today continue working the front.
Now the holes are nice in the center:P

http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker147.jpg
De OC-Press tube.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker148.jpg
The reservoir and Musketeer arrived too.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker149.jpg
Only we treath the Musketeer very badly:P . (sorry, Coolermaster.)
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...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/Case...stacker151.jpg
In the meanwhile all mesurments where taken and draw on the plexi.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker155.jpg
Then some sawing and stay inside the lines, and then some handjob.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker156.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker157.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker158.jpg
Last the small holes for the Coolermaster Musketeer.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker159.jpg
Then it should look like this.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker160.jpg
Next job , make holes in the metal part.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker153.jpg
See ya tomorrow:P
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. :)
speechless, you should have just started from scratch.
again very nice, I wish I had the know-how and tools to do stuff like that!
Maybe one of the next projects:PQuote:

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

http://www.ediejo.nl/Casemod/Stacker/stacker157.jpg
http://www.ediejo.nl/Casemod/Stacker/stacker158.jpg

Wow, simply amazing!
Today part 2 of the HWI Days.
The reservoir fits nicely.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker161.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker170.jpg
Spend a lot of time explaining to people.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker162.jpg
Now the holes in the metal part , first by hand.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker163.jpg
With the machine this works great also.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker165.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker164.jpg
The again look if it fits.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker166.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...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/Case...stacker168.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker169.jpg
Also the Moddingmasters from Belgium are charmed off Proxxon
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker171.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker172.jpg
Very nice project! :up:
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/Case...stacker173.jpg
Then again some drilling.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker180.jpg
The holes we make a little bit bigger. ;)
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker181.jpg
Stackers have lots of holes to use , to put them in place.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker176.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker179.jpg
Yes it will work , but 4 are to long.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker174.jpg
This ones. ;)
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker182.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker177.jpg
Mark them where to cut.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker178.jpg
These are @ place , for the dvd we have another solution , as you will see later :)
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker175.jpg
And again painters tape.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker183.jpg
Making the markings on the plexi.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker190.jpg
And drill again .
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...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/Case...stacker186.jpg
A little closer. ;)
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker185.jpg
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker184.jpg
Some may have seen it already , what a BIG flag.
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker189.jpg
And it was not all we could take with us. :P
http://www.ediejo.dnrhosting.nl/Case...stacker187.jpg
Till tomorrow.
