Project: Eldritch

[Geezer]

Sorry about the pictures, they are completely unedited and I'm terrible with a camera. But it hopefully gives you guys some closure.

For me, this was the shot that took the build from creative concept to impressive. I really like the lighting effects. Do you recall what type of acrylic you used? I'm looking at Acrylite GP for my project but it looks like anything other than clear is going to require a special order :/

Thanks for the compliment. That is 2447 1/4" white acrylic, which usually categorized as translucent. I recommend Delvies Plastics.

cool case and nice build

Absolutely stunning. So this thing is glued together? That is amazing as well.

Got any pictures of the res side? I was wanting to see how that looked when lit.

Hey man! Love your rig. great job on the acrylics and putting it all together! You'll have one sick lanbox =D Does the name of the project has anything to do with FMA?

Thank you all for your compliments. I'm using them as motivation fuel for my next project which is underway.

Yup. Part glued, part "welded" with the acrylic bonding formula.

I had to toss out the NFC reservoir for various reasons--mainly being how the stupid fittings fit...or didn't, rather. I still have it sitting on my desk. Right now it's just a Koolance reservoir behind that glowing Eldritch panel:

Thank you very much. The name doesn't actually have anything to do with FMA, I never got far in the show to be honest, though it was interesting. I just wanted a name to convey the sense of the ethereal, which I wanted to capture in the case.

This is by far the most amazing build I have ever seen. The worklog was beyond a plus. You sir are a god. I expect many custom builders to look at for inspiration

[NFC]

Thank your for the very kind compliments. If you enjoyed the worklog then stay tuned in this forum, I am beginning another project in the week before PDX which is slightly more...ambitious. =)

A year is too old for a computer, and in need of parts to create my new project due for Jan 1st, I decided to tear Eldritch down.

I figured some of you might want to share in the carnage and see what 210 hours looks like after 15 minutes with a screwdriver and hammer.

Sorry for the abysmal pics, they were taken on a cell phone.

Eek, you should better sell it to some one and by gained funds build new one.
Pains to see such beauty smashed down

[NFC]

After the redesign I couldn't stand to see it sit there and mock me anymore.

I would have sold it but I gave up long ago trying to sell my mods as one system. It is sad that they are worth more broken up and parted out than they are in one piece.

Thanks for following the build, churchy.
