(UN)Designs Extended Ascension

**armeniandave** · 01-30-2009, 07:26 AM

Eddie the modular power supply was one of the best things I bought in a long time. You should see the bag of wires I am not using.
I have thought about a case for a long time but to be honest for me to build a case that I would want to sell would be too much money. I am pretty paticular about quality so if there was even one thing wrong with it I wouldn't want to sell it. Who knows maybe someday.....

Capreppy part of the goal of this build was to show off some of the new things i've been working on. The spacer between the rads was an idea I had awile ago and I finally had a chance to proof the concept out. They will be for sale soon most likely in black at first. The grill is another new product I will be offering as a special order. With the grill you would get your choice of colors to match your build. You can PM me for more details.

Also thanks for the kind words. I am really enjoying this build.
It looks like I will be putting it all togther in about two weeks.

Stunning build Dave. I agree with you regarding the modular PSU, it's the onlw way to go.

You just made my day.

The other thing I've been thinking about (dangerous, I know); Do you think there is any way to make the front of the MM case where you don't have the overhang for the bays sticking out in the front? I guess you could incorporate space for the bays into the custom front grill piece, assuming you could still figure a way for enough support to load the bays. I don't mind the industrial look of the MM cases, but just can't figure out how to make the bay inserts look good (meaning the pieces around the outside).

Black works well for me. My build will be called Black Dragon and am going with an all black motif. I LOVE the placement of the CCFs and I will likely be doing the same or something similar.

I'll probaby be going with a horizontal MoBo tray as I'll be looking at Core i7 w/2 x GTX295 or 3 x GTX285, all on an eVGA x58 MoBo. WBs for the GTX295 weigh a lot and the horizontal MoBo tray makes me feel a lot safer. I know for sure I won't be using as many fans as yourself as I'll be going with a Windowed Top and Sides. That may change I'm sure, but I'm hoping to start everything in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

I'll send you a PM regarding the grill. Honestly that thing looks just plain badass. Will you likely continue to sell thru Petras? I've already looked at your stuff there and has been added to my list.

Small Update

I finished the top for the box and cut all the channels to the correct length.
Hopefully the box will be finished early this week and then it's off to the anodizers to get it anodized black.

Also finished putting the dust grills behind the main grill.

I have to admit that I am addicted to the BP fittings!
They make running everything so much nicer. I realized that I need one more 90 degree fitting to finish it off. This after I think I ordered a crapload of them!

If all goes well I should start to actually build this beast the week after next.

That's so cool looking.

Specially those funky curves

Bitspower madness.

**omaryunus** · 01-31-2009, 05:37 PM

that is just brilliant work there dave... everything looks soo nice and I am soo eager to see how this will look when it is finished i mean just BEAUTIFUL!

**BlueAqua** · 01-31-2009, 05:37 PM

I love all of the custom work done in your build, it really shows what UN Designs is all about. Your build log is a pleasure to continue viewing and I hope it keeps raising the bar.

**skinnee** · 02-07-2009, 01:41 PM

Any updates Dave?

**armeniandave** · 02-07-2009, 03:52 PM

Sorry I have been super busy!

The only thing I have left to finish is the control box.
Should have it done this week. I am planning on
completing the build next weekend.

I did do some sleeving of the fan controller and
was also able to hide all the wires behind the inside grill.
I have not finished running all the wiring yet
because I want to wait for the control box.

Here are a couple of pics, enjoy them.
All will look a lot better next weekend, I promise!!!

Thats some awesome custom work you have done there.....

MAybe you could post your plans for all us that have MM's cases if thats not a trade secret.....

**armeniandave** · 02-07-2009, 04:37 PM

Most of what you see will be new products.
The spacers are being cut this week and
the grills will be a special order item.

**theseeker** · 02-07-2009, 04:56 PM

Dave,
You give a new meaning to the word "craftsmanship." Stunning!

Ahhh... perfect excuse for me to take a rest from cable management. Better wait for the new (UN) Designs stuff

Thanks for coming up with new products.

Fitseries3 block FTW!

**CptDreadFlint** · 02-08-2009, 05:49 AM

Dave - Pleasure to see some of the innovative stuff you've got going on here! Totally diggin' the grill layout and invisible wire operation!

With all those fans, you could possibly end global warming (or at least cool off a small village in Africa).

**Eddie3dfx** · 02-08-2009, 08:44 AM

Fitseries did an excellent job with those D-Tek covers. They look so nice with colored fluid running through them. Sleeving and everything looks really good. I see one gold compression fitting on the left. How did that happen? lol

**armeniandave** · 02-08-2009, 09:13 AM

Eddie it must be the light cause there are no gold fittings.
I thought about getting some silver ones but ended up getting
the killcoils instead.

**armeniandave** · 02-09-2009, 08:21 PM

Alright finally got the control box finished!!
This thing started as a solid chunk of aluminum
and ended up like you see it. In the end I speed up the hollowing out of it because you won't see it.
All the aluminum will go to the anodizers tomorrow.
If all goes well I will complete this build this weekend.
