09/10 Project

[Antioch]

Sorry to draw this out for so long...

Draw it out for as loooonnnggggg as you need - and then some, please!

I've said it once and I'll say it again: favorite build log! Outstanding work. I can't wait to see the finished product. On second thought, I can wait because I'm sure I'll only suffer from a fit of jealous rage

absolute amazing work!!! Could the heating be a problem for the SSDs or get the SSDs not so hot?

Marcus

Thanks! as far as heating goes SSDs run much cooler than HDDs and were barely warm to the touch after an hour, so i'm confident they will be ok.

omg, please help me to get my jaw back from the floor, that is absolutely amazing

lol thanks mate.

absolutely stunning...

I really apreciate it, cheers

very interesting project.. subd bc I cant wait to see how those ssd holders look.

I can tell you that they're going to be mounted at an angle if that helps

Nothing much to add ... absolutely amazing / stunning / jaw-dropping stuff (told ya nothing new to add)

Thank you very much

pretty.

While reading thru that build of those hard drive holders. I thought you were just going to leave them in the bare acrylic make it look like the driver are just standing in open space sore of thing.

But still looks really good for mounting them.

To tell you the truth i really liked the look of the acrylic by itself but the welding process leaves flaws where it's joined. I also don't like the look of the drives so i decided to add the covers.

dude, I dream of a garage like yours.... want your tools too !!!!

oh, and by the way: most awesome job!!!!!!!

Thanks mate. The funny thing is i hadn't bought a single tool before i started this build, hell i hadn't even used a router before, but i knew i'd use them on future builds and figured it'd be a good time to buy. My parents aren't too impressed though, they don't even have a place to park their car any more haha.

Crazy... First I started looking that damn it looks cool... Then it turned into jealousy... And now I simply hate you for having all those tools!!!! Give them to meeeee...

But seriously, amazing... Suddenly I lost the motivation to build my PC because it will be so lame compared to this

Besides the router and drill press i really don't have anything out of the ordinary. I mean i have a hand drill and jigsaw but most people have those anyway. I'd definitely recommend a router table to anyone thinking of modding like this, it's the next best thing to a cnc (i drool over those things) and works great for simple mods like those drive bays (and by simple i'm talking over 12 hours work!!)

And keep at your build, i still have plenty of work left to mess up this project so i wouldn't worry about that too much lol.

Truly amazing work there, Callen. I envy your workspace and machine-park. I'm confined to my living room to perform my humble modding.

Keep up the work.

Thanks mate. You can always come over and work here, but it may be a bit of a drive lol

Hi.

Ok, then I know what acrylic I need. Could you please tell me the other sizes, too, so that I can see if the leds are bright enough for a acrylic of the size I need?!

Next point: Your update is the most amazing acrylic-mod I've ever seen. Further to cover your ssd-boxes with the brushed metal looks very nice...I'd be very happy if I had the opportunities to build such things on my own, but I don't have a small part of your talent or your machines!

So I rest to wish you lots of fun at the birthday, and, to be egoistically, I hope to see an update very soon

greets

That little piece is only about 15mm x 12mm. I would also recommend putting LEDs in the sides too for a better effect. Thank you for the kind words and i hope to get an update for you asap

wow.... all I can say is wow...

sub'd

Cheers bud

undiscribable mate !

Thanks mate, appreciate it

haha don't be like that. Thanks mate and i wish you the best with your build


I kinda screwed up by showing this update. Don't get me wrong, i'm really happy with the bays, i'm just not sure if the rest of the project will work out as well as they did? And now people have expectations! aww geez I just hope i can keep up.

Thanks again everyone,
Callen

Heh, if that's your logic then you screwed up by making the log before you were finished - because every update you've made has been spectacular.

Don't feel bad, we all support you no matter how it turns out (but it will turn out great so, don't worry )
