I do like the countersunk screws on the fans. Simple, yet genius!

**Zw_Roodbaard** · 01-27-2009, 03:34 PM

Yeah that's a nice and original solution for your fans

, but don't you need to fasten the mid part of your rad mount?

In the vid it's shaking like hell, and with a little more mass (filled with water) it will hit your chassis

**anubis_is_evil** · 01-27-2009, 03:54 PM

stunning

:

well, you got yourself custom made TJ07, but definitely different

i'm hungry of brilliant idea from you NysoO...

really can't wait for the final setup....

bring it on NysoO

Awesome! I love seeing projects like this come to life from a sketch

**NysoO** · 01-27-2009, 11:32 PM

Thank you all!

What you see in the video is me tapping the radiator, which causes such a massive amount of vibration. You should know that fans don't create such vibration. The mass should not be a problem. Have tried pushing it down to the chassis and it takes a bit of force to get it down there. I would say like 2kg or so. Not a pressure that you will see with the water filled in.

Hey again guys, time for yet another update.

Not gonna talk to much so I'll just throw the pics and let them speak a little for themselves.

Hole for the 360 grill cut out.

Will be using countersunk screws.

Didn't like the look of the LCD display frame.

So I lapped it into this

Both displays.

The last grills need to have holes in the outer panel.

And cut out.

Gonna mount this bezel on the lower back of the case. The button is for the dvd-drive (I will solder extension cables from inside of the dvd drive). The LCD's will be showing water-temp and air temp or such. The switches are for switching between different sensors.

And the back.

Grill test mounted.

It's getting closer and closer

The creator of the host told me that it was gonna work now but apperantly not, 1 sec and I'll get the regular host..

**Zw_Roodbaard** · 02-01-2009, 03:14 PM

Nice progress you've made there

What are you going to post on the display's? Temps I suppose..

Ohh and btw what tools are you using to cut those holes so clean? A Jigsaw/handsaw/dremel...

Thanks!

Temps yeh. Water temp and air / memory etc.
Cutting freehanded with a jigsaw. Then file and sand the edges.

**theseeker** · 02-01-2009, 03:42 PM

Very nice!

**Pedalmonkey** · 02-01-2009, 03:47 PM

PICS FIXXED!! woot nice job man.

**Henry8601** · 02-01-2009, 03:59 PM

I really like the counter sunk fan screws - like others have said, it is simple, and yet very effective.

**NysoO** · 02-02-2009, 09:54 AM

Thanks guys!

Henry: That was my thought as well. It looks really nice, and in this case it serves its purpose very well.

**N3it1** · 02-02-2009, 10:17 AM

Yezzziiiir you can booogie! Nice!

**PsYcHoNo0b727** · 02-02-2009, 10:53 AM

**Hennels** · 02-02-2009, 12:31 PM

That is just so good. You make me envy

**OdinEidolon** · 02-02-2009, 12:53 PM

**norim_13** · 02-12-2009, 02:47 PM

I must say it again: GREAT PROJECT! CONGRATULATIONS!

We're waiting by more photos!

**filthysanchez** · 02-12-2009, 08:08 PM

That looks sick, I hope you aren't painting it. Silver with black grills is awesome.

**PradaG** · 02-12-2009, 08:24 PM

beautiful craftsmanship - i wish i had access to some more space....i.e. a basement or garage...filled w/ tools like that!

i'm loving all the details...down to every last countersink!

you must be very proud of what you are putting together (i on the other hand am green w/ n v)

**bentleya** · 02-13-2009, 12:30 AM

Amazing work

**NysoO** · 02-14-2009, 10:38 AM

Hello guys! Got some of the last details done before the case goes for a nice layer of powder coat. I went to a local powder coater and looked at some samples. Decided to go with a little more satin black rather than flat black. This is because flat black has a tendency to look more greyish than black. Also satin black has a little more depth in it.

Also forgot to take pictures of the mounting holes of the outer panel. Nothing exciting really so it doesn't really matter.

Here are some pixx for ya'll:

Got the dvd drive lined upp in the 5,25 holder. Drilled mouting holes for it and managed to get it more or less perfect.

Glued the slot cover on the dvd-tray with some super epoxy.

Got holes cut in the middle plate for cable routing, tubing and pump-mounting.

Painted the LCD-display bezel

Soldered some extension cables on the dvd PCB.

Which I tested the extended open-button with.

Routing inside the dvd

Had to drill a hole for routing the cables.

Which goes out at the back of the dvd. Drilled a hole and fitted a rubber grommet. Also got the cables sleeved.

Soldered the LCD's power cables together and sleeved them.

And the finnished bezel.

A little clip of the dvd in action will be uploaded soon.

I love your no holes barred approach! It is stunning!!
