Rebuilding Hellmouth Darth? Looks like the same case you had back at PDXLAN 9.
Nice built-in monitor ;)

Hellmouth being rebuilt while my current one is being painted. At the rate I am going I do not know when I will rebuild the Danger Den double-wide tower. I have a clinic server to build (wood DD box), the wall-mounted Nvidia rig, and now I have to do a new rig for a museum display I am working on.

Nice! Looks like you could use a silvercoild in the tube between those top mosfets. It appears to be a touch too much bend from the camera angle.

Wow...that's a crapload of RAM...wow!

I like the mascot...:D

trying to add some pizazz. Going to have modders' mesh hexx style on the bottom over a layer of ruby red mirrored acrylic. Here is what I did for the mesh to go with the Hellmouth design:

Here is the artwork I used (by Nitemayer at PDXLAN forums):
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1...stencil.th.jpg http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5...outhhex.th.jpg

I had to the paint the mesh UV Orange then use the stencil to color the black . . .why? Because I am a special needs modder. Had to cut the picture into quarters to print it so I took a shortcut and just used a top and bottom half them mirrored them . . . .not perfect but I have to have this done by Friday so no time to redo it now

For the bottom I elevated the floor a tad so I can run some wiring underneath. I also made a pump platform.

This is red with mirror backing. I also have one way red mirror which I will probably use to make a window in the hole where the front of my phase change unit normally resides.

sweet.. now i got to bug gene about it :rofl:
i wonder what it would look like with a blasted front.
since the backing has a mirror reflection and the
front is clear enough to show that through :eek:

sorry thinking out loud.

good luck with the dead line :up:

Who makes that, it's looks brilliant.

Looks good DB. The only thing I'd worry about would with regards to the mesh and the pumps; do you think when you fire the pumps up that it will cause the mesh to vibrate? It may transfer pump vibration throughout the bottom of the case.

I wrapped the mesh under the acrylic so hopefully it is tight.

One more radiator to go. Looks like I will be able to fire it up tomorrow!
