Project: Aluchill[Scratch build]

[NysoO]

Okay. This'll be a small update but It's about those small things that makes a big difference. Had to figure something out for my harddrives so I built a suspension out of two Scythe Himuro HDD-coolers.

Mock up. The raptor is going to go on the top because of its tendency to create a lot of vibrations. So I thought it might need some extra suspension.


And after a bit of measuring, drilling and threading we have got this


'Nother angle


Cut some holes in the mobo tray so that it'll be easier to remount the CPU block if needed. Also made a hole for the ATX+12v cables.


And last. The panels cleaned up and "polished".

Awesome job continues!

What's with this last pic though? Is it the flash because to me these panels like surface damaged? I'm sure they're not, but all I see are the specs and flecs. . .

Um, maybe should avoid taking pics like these. I was afraid that it would come out wrong with the reflections etc. What you're seeing is panels treated for powdercoat. Still got a lot of water drops on them and the "scratches" is no way near deep. If you would hold the panels you would get a whole other opinion of them. Smooth like a babys bottom but "ruggade"-(engelska ordet?) so that the paint will stick on nicely. You'll see when I get them back from the powder coaters

You're an artist! Your skills are fabulous, i will keep an eye on this thread.

What color powdercoat it's gonna be?

Thanks man! I left the parts with the powder coaters this morning. They're going to be satin black

sounds great are you going to have an accent color of sorts?

The only contrast that's going in is the shiny bolts etc. I'm going pure clean this time around.
