Holy *#^@



I don't say this a lot, but that is some INSPIRING work, Callen. The acrylic behind the waterjet cut panels is just beautiful. And fabbing your own RAM blocks, wow! Great work on the res, also.

Incredible work.

[MoMo_RT]

Here I am yet again wishing I had a router so I could have me some fun like that...

Damn amazing work! I cant wait to see it finished.. Subbed!

[kgtiger]

Well done mate, excellent work.
I too really like the blue acrylic as well, looks sweet.

Did I miss something while being a bum and reading, well at least looking at your update?
Are there any holes for the fittings in that ram blook?

Excellent work Champ!!

[whuzabi]

hi callen. just can say awesome. the plexi looks realy nice the idea great. cant just say anything.

[shazza]

Daaaeemmmmnnnn ... gonna take me more than one read to absorb this one. Holy Moly Schmoly - you got the skills.

[josk1]

WOW...
and i'm not talkin' about the game!

[Xion X2]

What I love is that when callen's away he says things like "haven't had time to do hardly anything.." and then he comes back with the instruction manual for epic modding a few days after.



Just awesome stuff.

[Red-5]

Yepp read every word and looked at every pic too. What an update. Awesome work mate.
Love the clear and blue acrylic behind the faceplate and PSU bracket, your reservoir and the RAM block too.

Look forward to seeing more stunning work

[elle]

that´s not normal!!! AMAZING

[CptDreadFlint]

Such incredible work, Callen! Love the Callen Ram Block, the hand job Res is a total happy ending, and the acrylic work is rock star - blue came out gorgeous! It's truly awesome to see the ideas you've had all coming to fruition.

I'm completely blown away at the sheer magnitude of awesomeness being displayed!

And I thank you for my fix.

Yours truly epic mod

[Liderc]

Holy crap.

[Obsidian Rift]

Firstly... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly... Read everything and scrutinized every image x 03 Times (Yea I'm a bum with nothing else better to do, so why not spend time on appreciating some art )
Love the the RAM block... oh the RAM block, the blue acrylic behind the faceplate and PSU bracket, your reservoir... EVERYTHING!!!

MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE UPDATES!!! I do not want to go through cold turkey again!!!

[martensch]

Indeed Callen, it`s awesome... Nothing more, nothing less!! It`s gonna be a real great, outstainding mod!

[Colossous]

Its all been said allready but damn duder - fine skills

[dingdong555]

Amazing mate, you take a picture of EVERYTHING you do, step by step, detail by detail. Your work is genius, all I can say is that the router is probably the best purchase you've made IMO

[HanTard]

.






think, think *write something articulate that expresses your amazement and hides you are stupefied* ^^^ that's all I came up with

[chuky]

I'm like all the others, nobody says anything negative about your build, because there is nothing negative about it!

the one thing I would have mentioned is already said by kgtiger, why there are no threads in the ram-cooler??

as a last, I can only say that I'm overwhelmed by your amazing update, there where a few things I could not understand completely e.g. I don't understand which part you cutted away at the front door to make the acrylic fit, but at the end it's still a complete door So I'm really looking forward to see the finished build so that I can understand all the small or bigger things you did and how they fit together

To defend myself I have to say that it's easter's friday today, so I have got the time to read all your words and look at all your pictures without spending too much time

Greetz, chuky

[voigts]

You don't mess around, do you? I mean when you post an update, you really post an update. I haven't quite put all of the pieces together yet in my mind as to where they are all going, but you are doing an awesome job.

[callen_1]

that's quite the update Callen,
Amazing work as always. Your talent is unparalleled, keep up the amazing and innovative work!

Thanks mate, there were a few more pics than i planned , there's also so many talented people on this forum, it makes learning a hell of a lot easier, although i'm no where near as talented as them!

wow, really stunning as usual awesome idea about the blue acrylic inside and great handmade RAM block!

Cheers, aka_GK. I just hope the lighting for the acrylic works as planned

I need a cigarette after that update!

Wicked man, just wicked!

Keep up the brilliant work my friend!

lol thanks, Charles. I'll try my best to keep it up (the brilliant work that is )

Really appreciated, Xion . It took me a minute to work out that image too, kinda tripped me out lol .

Here I am yet again wishing I had a router so I could have me some fun like that...

Damn amazing work! I cant wait to see it finished.. Subbed!

Cheers, dude . Good luck with the workshop too, it'll help any future projects A LOT!

Excellent work Champ!!

i didn't even realise i'd left them out! easy enough to fix . Thanks for the complement mate, it's appreciated

hi callen. just can say awesome. the plexi looks realy nice the idea great. cant just say anything.

i realy like to see and read what u got done. impressiv build go for it man wih i got those toys

Thanks, whuzabi! you better save those pennies and buy some toys for yourself too

Daaaeemmmmnnnn ... gonna take me more than one read to absorb this one. Holy Moly Schmoly - you got the skills.

haha, can't say i didn't warn you . Thank ya Shazza

WOW...
and i'm not talkin' about the game!

Cheers, bud. That's a good one

What I love is that when callen's away he says things like "haven't had time to do hardly anything.." and then he comes back with the instruction manual for epic modding a few days after.



Just awesome stuff.

hehe what i should have said was i haven't had any time to finish anything .

I just haven't felt like there was anything worth posting. So i wait until i do something i'm happy with and just add all the rest into the same update. This was a bit ridiculous though, i could have made the post with a fraction of the pictures but, hey, someone might learn something new (that's my excuse from now on ).

Yepp read every word and looked at every pic too. What an update. Awesome work mate.
Love the clear and blue acrylic behind the faceplate and PSU bracket, your reservoir and the RAM block too.

Look forward to seeing more stunning work

Good to hear mate, i really appreciate you taking the time to go through it

that´s not normal!!! AMAZING

haha I know, right? A normal person would have posted maybe 10 pics. Thanks to rick's incredible mathematics skills (), i've been informed that i posted over 100!!

Although it wouldn't really be a work log if i didn't show any work lol but i think i'll tone it down a little, errr.... make that a lot

Such incredible work, Callen! Love the Callen Ram Block, the hand job Res is a total happy ending, and the acrylic work is rock star - blue came out gorgeous! It's truly awesome to see the ideas you've had all coming to fruition.

I'm completely blown away at the sheer magnitude of awesomeness being displayed!

And I thank you for my fix.

Thanks, Rick'o. Your always way to nice for a pirate but i'm not complaining . I also had to make sure you got a big fix this time, because the next one may be a while away

wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg! wow! omg!

haha epic comment

Yours truly epic mod

Thank you, Oli4v . I think it's funny calling it a mod, but i did start with a chassis, even if there is only about 5% left . Sometimes i wish i just started from scratch though

Holy crap.

...Thank...you?..

Firstly... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly... Read everything and scrutinized every image x 03 Times (Yea I'm a bum with nothing else better to do, so why not spend time on appreciating some art )
Love the the RAM block... oh the RAM block, the blue acrylic behind the faceplate and PSU bracket, your reservoir... EVERYTHING!!!

MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE UPDATES!!! I do not want to go through cold turkey again!!!

Cheers, Obsidian Rift!

I'm really glad you appreciate some of the work i've done . I think i'll re-do the ram block though, just the acrylic that is, as it's pretty simple atm. I can't do anything really crazy because it's done by hand but i reckon i could whip up something nicer... hopefully

Indeed Callen, it`s awesome... Nothing more, nothing less!! It`s gonna be a real great, outstainding mod!

That's not fair, i want it to be more than awesome (why isn't there any smilies for crying ). Just kidding of course . Thanks for the kind words mate

Its all been said allready but damn duder - fine skills

Thans a lot, colossous . I do try my best

Amazing mate, you take a picture of EVERYTHING you do, step by step, detail by detail. Your work is genius, all I can say is that the router is probably the best purchase you've made IMO

And IMO too . I wouldn't have been able to do 99% of the things i've pulled off this far without it! Actually i could have but it would have been quite expensive. CNC routing costs a lot more than laser and water jet

Thanks for the complement mate

think, think *write something articulate that expresses your amazement and hides you are stupefied* ^^^ that's all I came up with

Thanks, Mrs F. . I completely missed the small text at the end of the comment!! I thought you had just posted a full stop hahaha boy do i feel stupid. So i guess if your stupified, and i'm just plain stupid then we're gonna get along GREAT

I'm like all the others, nobody says anything negative about your build, because there is nothing negative about it!

Greetz, chuky

Your not gonna make me post up more pics with more steps are you . It'd drive people crazy lol.

i actually completely forgot to drill and tap holes in the ram block but i think i'll be changing it anyway, so no big deal. And as far as the door mod goes, i'll have a crack at explaining;

There are 2 brackets on the inside of the door, 1 on each vertical edge. 1 bracket holds the door hinges and the other holds a closing mechanism so the door will stay shut when closed.

I had to cut chunks out of one of the brackets so the acrylic would completely cover the holes i had water jet cut in the front.

To cut it i just marked it and unscrewed the bracket from the door (its the long black strip in one of the pics). After it was cut and shaped i screwed it back to the door again which is why it was complete at the end.

I hope that helps a bit??? I do suck at explanations though .

Thank you very much for reading through, mate .

You don't mess around, do you? I mean when you post an update, you really post an update. I haven't quite put all of the pieces together yet in my mind as to where they are all going, but you are doing an awesome job.

Cheers, voigts . I hope to throw it all together soon so don't think too hard lol. I say soon but we've all said that before Thanks for taking a look man



Thanks, everyone. Hope you all have a totally awesome, fully sick, incredibly super duper Easter weekend ,

Callen .

[callen_1]

PS that took a while

[chuky]

be sure, you're explainations helped me in understanding when you say that you only post pics 'cause they describe themselves, it's very often true, but from time to time, I don't understand it, so when this is the case, be sure that I'm gonna ask

Note for you: Post your updates as you did, change nothing despite....you said that you post an update when you think there's something worth. What was the one special update worth to post in the last great update? maybe you'll give us the next steps part to part, because EVERY part of your update was worth shown on his own

One question remains: What colour shall your water have and will your amazing res be visible from the top of the case?

Cya

[Oli4v]

it's nice that you're giving this case such a good look, something that not very much people did before, so it is very original

You can say

- Raw=original case
- Design and detail = Callen_01

[The Shooter]

I read the whole thread any i can only say awesome. You got some mad skils.
