Watch E.E.L. Embiense demonstrate how to use the Sophisticated Finishes products for adding a rust effect to your Mods.

I think Christopher left his scrap PC out in the rain a few times. To create those results, I apply the Iron Surfacer to the top panel first, then the Rust Solution after 10 mins. I repeated these steps over different locations on the exterior. The more Rust Solution you apply, the more Orange colored effect you get.

[V0id]

Wow, that's amazing work

[LarsMarkelson]

Can't wait to see the finished product. You are really really really really really good at this man. Props!

[Bill Owen]

Thank you for checking out the project and commenting!

[Bill Owen]

There will be an MNU logo painted on this optical drive. Christopher likely traded something towards it, so he could view cd rom archived files from MNU perhaps?



More rust effects occur..

The new 600W Cooler Master Silent PRO didn't look right in a POS computer, it was treated to "rust lovin" as well.

[InCredible]

simply amazing..cant wait to see final product...love the wire "sleeving" idea as well...

[Bill Owen]

Thank you! Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 GHz Processor in Intel DX48BT2 Motherboard sent by Cooler Master for their display.



I'm looking at this Cooler Master HYPER N620 and wondering ""What Christopher do differently with it?"

[LeandroJVarini]

wow, damn, nice job, I loved the technique of aging.

[Bill Owen]

Thank you! I wanted to direct the cooler air entering the front of the case to the cpu cooler. The 5.25 bay covers were removed to highlight the canister movie prop we made. It dawned on me that a fan duct could be mounted to a 120mm fan by modifying a 120mm round mesh fan grill. In the past, I would mold the fan duct into the front bezel with body filler, but this method is much easier and more versatile.

This method can be combined with 4.5" flexible tubing to isolate cool airflow. Imagine one end of the tube attached to a 120mm cooling fan in front of your case.
The 4.5" Flexible tubing can be found at Mcmaster, http://www.mcmaster.com/#duct-hose/=4zltce or you can "try" the "Heating & Cooling" department at hardware or home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes.

Using a paint pen to trace the duct onto the round mesh grill.


a small wire cutter and Tin snips used to cut the 4.5" opening in the 120mm Modder's Mesh Round fan grill


You'll need to use the small wire cutter first, to make the initial cut before you can use the Tin Snips to cut the 4.5" hole.


Using Tin ship to cut the round mesh grill.


The result of you cutting should look like this.




120mm cooling fan. This fan has enclosed corners, you will need longer fan screws if you're mounting the fan onto something like a cpu cooler.

I have probably a stupid question for you,after the 2010 CES,what will you do for this masterpiece of modding?
Will you sell it? or keep it for you?
'couse i think that this job go beyond a simple mod,this job is just ART,and so it should stand in a museum of technology

[kadozer]

Amaaaazing

[Marios]

Rust? No thanks. Great job though.

[individual]

Err, you do know it is fake rust, right?

IMHO I would have got an experienced airbrush artist to paint on the rust, they do really really detailed jobs still, this is just AMAZING!

I think with the prawn canister, you should have the cathode hidden in the side and fill the canister with water in the middle? or a UV cathode with reactive uv liquid?

just a thought

[Blacky]

Wow one of the best build projects ive seen in my life, the movie was fantastic so is this!

[DragoonXX]

there is a cathode inside the canister...

Thank you! I believe Cooler Master will be using it at the CEBIT as well. I don't know what they plan to do with it after.

Here is the Prawn canister installed, I've added a 4" White cold cathode light between the front intake plate and bezel.

[DragoonXX]

only negatives I have are...the mirrored acrylic looks like its getting scratched up (probably not intentional)..and the prawn canister looks too new (havn't seen the movie myself, so I can't really be a true judge)

[Bill Owen]

Yes, and more scratches will be added, I'm not finished yet I'm also debating on what type of extra cabling I want to use.
