Mass Effect 3 - NZXT Switch 810 Build.

[mybadomen]

UPDATE

First off don't miss the Great article Charley Bwoy wrote about Me and the Mass Effect Build. He did an incredible job.

Article is here: http://modderdiaries.blogspot.ca/201...t-3-build.html


Again a small update it would seem but took many hours for this small update.

Took everything apart on Top and the Front of the Case to Carbon Fiber Di-noc the edges as the whole case will be Carbon Fiber and Flat black like the N7 armor in ME3




Will just Post some Photos without explaining , Basically used a Heatgun and Dinoc:







Tops Done , Now for the Front:








Top and Front Di noc done






Not sure what happened but the before Photos of the SSD harness didn't come out so unfortunately all i have is after Photos and its also dark out for the final Photos so bad lighting at the worse time but you guys are aware of what the build looks like with good light:


Custom wire harness for the 2 Plextor 128 gig M3 Pro Series SSD Drives





Build is getting extremely Close to done so stay keep watching and pray the rain stays away for a bit so i can finish some wiring.

Random Photo's (at night with bad lighting) but figured id share them anyway:






Lol Sorry for the last 2 Photos. I only have an iPhone to take Photos for my build logs and cant afford a real camera and parts to build so i do my best with what i have.


Keep watching, as now its time to make this thing look beautiful and finish it off.

Take Care and thank you for looking,

UPDATE !


And another update already that fast. I told you they would be coming pretty steady now till completion and i am not going to cut corners to meet any deadlines. This build will be done and hopefully Beautiful when its completed.

That being Said lets get yo the Update:


This Update is me Modding the window .I decided to just leave leave 1 1/2 " of metal completly around the window so people can see all the work inside and i curved the edges. Lol wait till you see what i used for a tool to curve them.

First a couple Photo's with the window off :






And now to Start Modding the NZXT Switch 810 Window:

Marking out where my cuts are going to be:




Marking out the curved edges with my High Tech tools .



Jig saw with Guide i will be using to cut out the window. (The Guide will help make nice straight lines until i get to the rounded edges. Its all skills from there )





Just checking to see if it looks right . It does so we can move on. OH YA normally i would tape off around where i was cutting but this is getting Di noc wrap so i didn't bother. My saw does have plastic feet though so i used a scotchbrite after to smooth it out after.




The Scraps




These Photos are of ,me sanding the scratches and edges smooth and also a shot of some of the tools i used to get a really nice edge:








Mnpctech . Lol seems like this name comes up allot in my Threads . Well this time is because i am using the Mnpctech U-Channel Molding which is one of the best i have ever used or seen. The stuff is super thin and looks incredible. In my eye's at least.

Well this Molding was also sponsored by Bill and Mnpctech.com so as always i will give a link where you can get some yourself.



Mnpctech U-Channel Molding here: http://www.mnpctech.com/UChannel.html

Ok now everything is all nice and even and smoothed out i finally move on to the Di-noc and U-Channel molding.

Will get better Photos of this tomorrow because my iPhone cant take pictures at night at all they come out terrible. Lol not to mention i ran it over yesterday so not only did i need a camera badly for my logs .I now also need to replace my iPhone 4 Glass which i do all the time for money so that's not an issue. Lol yeah but imagine, I ran over my own Phone with a GMC Jimmy and its perfect besides the glass.Thank god it happened in the grass i bet cement would be another story.





Really sorry for this last Photo as you cant tell how nice it came out but i promise you will see soon enough.

Take Care and Keep Watching . This Build is almost over and then you guys can watch my next build that's already started ,Just not posted yet.

More Updates Soon

MybadOmen

As Promised i am back to add some better Photo's. Well a little better at least.











Hopefully that gives a little better idea of what it is starting to look like but still i cant get the colors as bright as they really are in real life. The chrome sparkles everywhere and goes perfect with the Carbon fiber and red and white. Best i can do for now but i did promise i would be back with some better Photos .


More Updates soon so keep watching

UPDATE !


Founder of NZXT Johnny hou takes notice of my work on the "Mass Effect 3 - NZXT Switch 810 build" !



This is a Great Honor to me because i love the NZXT Company ,Their Customer Service, Products just everything about them is great and lets not forget how big they contribute to the community all the time. I have met and worked with many NZXT employees (Phone and email) But never imagined that the actual Founder of the company would take notice of me seeing he must be extremely busy.


Not sure what else to say . Just every day things just seem to blow my mind when it comes to my Modding. Lol usually when i think im not doing good and feeling down about it.

Here is the Link to see what the Founder wrote as it wasn't all about just me it was to all the Modders :

Update!

Huge thanks to Razer and there Generosity donating some Razer Mass Effect Gear to the build:




Here is what they Donated to the Build as they seen the build and thought it would be a great match. I totally agree! :

Razer Black Widow Ultimate Keyboard "Mass Effect 3 Edition"

The Normandy SR2 is Commander Shepard’s starship and a quick maneuvering vehicle great for traversing the galaxy, getting the team extracted from hot zones, and dropping behind enemy lines. Just like the Normandy, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mass Effect 3 Edition gaming keyboard is a state-of-the-art weapon with full-fledged heavy-duty mechanical key infrastructure. When it delivers crisp, tactile feedback and faster keystroke actuation, this revolutionary, fully backlit gaming keyboard accomplishes your mission with razor-sharp efficiency.




Razer Imperator Mouse "Mass Effect 3 Edition"

The war for Earth has begun, and only Commander Shepard stands between the Reapers and Earth’s total annihilation in Mass Effect 3. Use the Razer Imperator Mass Effect 3 Edition gaming mouse to give yourself the better edge and dispatch your ruthless enemies before they render all life extinct. The Razer Imperator ME3 Edition has been exclusively emblazoned with the iconic N7 logo, bestowed only upon the highest-ranking soldiers of the Systems Alliance military, displayed on Shepard’s Armor, and now in your capable hand.




Razer Vespula Mouse Pad "Mass Effect 3 Edition"

In Mass Effect 3, Commander Shepard and his team will face their greatest challenge yet - the Reapers. The Razer Vespula dual-sided gaming mouse mat is the perfect way to ensure that you’re prepared for each battle. Get neck-breaking acceleration under your mouse with the SPEED side to hit the enemies before they can react, or deliver precise headshots with the measured movement of the CONTROL side. Exclusively designed in pitch-black finish with the iconic N7 logo and stripes displayed on Shepard’s Armor, the Razer Vespula Mass Effect 3 Edition readies both you and your mouse for the war to take Earth back.

UPDATE!


Still More to come on this build Guys. Just waiting on a few things and been hard at work designing them. I should have the rest of the stuff soon and hopefully it will really make the build Pop! If not back to the drawing board.


Also would like to Thank the Sponsors that helped make this build possible with this Photo that "gr3nd3l" Put together for me.




Also Special Thanks to "Kaged" for helping me once again with the Decals for this build and working with me to get them just right.

Should look allot cooler soon. Keep checking back.

[mybadomen]

UPDATE!

Just a small update is all but the build and Theme is coming together now. Also the back door makes sure there is no confusion on what company makes the case.


I also like to thank my buddy Kaged that helped me with making the masking for Venom and also help design and make the ME3 Decals also. He is also teaching me to use my own Plotter so i can some day do it myself


Ok Me and Kaged have been talking for a while again deciding on idea's for the Vinyl decals again but this time for the outside of the case. There were many Decals made but at the end i am not sure which will be used and which wont. but so far some are on for sure.


Ok so today i 3M Wrapped the back door of the case which was a pain by myself but i got it done. Also i added Decals to the front and the back panel. I am very aware there is a space above my Antec Veris (Still working on that)


Ok i will shut up and show the Photos because that's what you all really want to see

















Well that's it for now. Hoping to have the build completed by Monday just waiting on the window is all and a couple small fixes.

Keep watching its not over yet ! Plus there will soon be a Nice Photo shoot done by my Aunt for me (Photographer)

UPDATE !

''Warning these photo's are just crappy ones from my iPhone good shots will be taken later and posted''.

First off really want to thank my Sponsor/Friend at Primochill for doing the etching for me.Highly appreciated Mate.

Well finally the update that puts everything together. I designed a window that i wanted etched and spaced everything so it wouldn't ruin the view of important stuff inside like my EK Parts ,Plextor SSD's etc.
Anyway my great Sponsor Primochill got me this window overnight so i could complete the Build by Monday and as you can see he never fails me. Thank you Primochill for the great job.


Anyway its not totally complete a few small things to do plus a Photo shoot with the matching Keyboard,Mouse etc from Razer.

Here was the Black NZXT Switch 810 i received:



and here it is now:

Here is the Mass Effect 3 -NZXT Switch 810 Mod

The package that i thought would be very late actually came right away!



And the Window all cut to size i requested and etching exactly where i wanted it.



















Best i can do for now till the Photo shoot but believe me . It looks a Million times better then the Photos:


And this ones for you NZXT for giving me this project in the first place and being more then just a sponsor to me.






Thank all you guys so much for supporting me and being my friend through this build and the past builds.

There should be 2 more Posts before Completion and then the Grand Finally the Photo shoot finally done right. Any Updates after that will just be any achievements that the Build happens to get . If any I imagine thats up to my followers to Vote for me.

Take Care and sorry no better Photo's yet. But really hoping you guys like what i did with the window.
