Project: Aluchill[Scratch build]

I like the seamless look of the outside; pity it has to be broken by the radgrills. Would it be possible to just cut/mill the grills from the casing? If done right, it could look spectacular.

I see your point of view and yeah, it would look nice, but I havn't got the tools to make it perfect. You know I could spend a whole lot of time on drilling and cutting and sanding each and everyone one of those holes, but it would be very time consuming and hard to get it aligned perfectly. Also, the color between the grills and the casing make such a contrast on those pictures. But they will blend in nicely when I get the case painted flat black just like the grills.

Yup, then I'd say you're making the right choice. It wouldn't look good unless it was laser/CNC/jet cut.

Hello boys n' girls!

Got some stuff bought and bend so I thought I would make an update.

This is what I got this week
Lian Li PSU plate (Bild kommer)
BeQuiet! Noisedampening (bild kommer)
Sleeving kit from MurderMod.com (I'm first in Sweden yay, thanks Dualbrain!)

Made a 5,25 holder and did a mockup of how all the frontstuff is supposed to be ligned up. Also got my QX9650 lapped. Got my HX1000 sleeved.

The victim


Sanded 400 - 800 - 1000 - 1500


And after 2000 - 2500: mirror finish


This is how it is going to be mounted behind the front plate


Bending the 5,25 holder


Perfect fit


I gotta get some thin glowes. My fingers keep making these irritating marks. Although it doesn't hurt anything, but damn it's annoying to look at.




Got my murdermod sleeving. Excellent stuff!


This was quite a surprice. Nice drawing dual!


Very pleased with the result.




And the victim for this mod was a HX1000


Lian Li-plate


The surface of a dampening board


The layers consist of: Rubber, foam and fabric


The boards are nice and quite heavy. Seems to be quite decent.


Got some stuff left to do but I have to wait for an order with some rubber grommets etc.
