[ScottALot]

I wish I could describe my jealous/awe/happy face to you when I saw that.

[darckhart]

lol soooo hawwwttttt!

btw what camera? love the clarity of your close ups.

[antho]

Glad you like it. I use a nikon D3000 with standard 18/55mm + for some raynox dcr 250 macro lens

[jayhall0315]

Good stuff Antho. Just saw this, and got to say I usually hate open case mods, but your colors and the carbon fiber .... good stuff ! Wish I had the time you did, to do something more with my own PSU unit.

How many hours (guesstimate) you have in this build so far roughly ?

[antho]

Tuff to say, hs i start over three times each part to have a satisfying result, i would say more than 150h and i'm not close to the end . Has i spend my holidays at home it's helping for sure

The bottom panel

[ScottALot]

Yep, I just had my orgasm face.

EDIT: That's not me just FYI... this is my slapping myself because I'm so amazed at what I'm seeing..

[antho]

Get the old PA120.3's ready for a new life and the fans for a much less toy color










Country trip time

Thanks Guys,

I had a very bad day today

PSU V1.3 did died today in the explosion of a rotary fitting during the pump testing, a geyser hit the center of my little toy, followed by a huge noise, a lots of smoke and of course the Sade story finished in the dark. RIP

Friend, do not use chip rotary fitting for testing 2 ddc, serial mounted, with a simple tube from output to input.... the pressure is way too high

That's life, if you don't want that to happen never mix water and computer

Tomorrow i will grab a new one and start PSU 2.0, it will offer me the opportunity to make it better.... (and to end my bank account in the mean time )


After killing the PSU i did do mi paint job... here are some pictures

[ScottALot]

Your PSU died? WHY GOD, WHY?!

Well... now you can send the carcass to me.

[antho]

A leek in the rotary fitting, perfectly well oriented into the PSU . This kind of things only happen to me i'm sure LOL

I will re use most of it, but i can link you the seller for the carbon (UK)

[antho]

Hi, I got the new psu today,. Do you have somes advices/thought to make it better than the previous one ?

[ScottALot]

better than the previous one? ... make it smell like bacon? I can't think of any possible way to make it better.

[antho]

better than the previous one? ... make it smell like bacon? I can't think of any possible way to make it better.

lol the last one smelled bacon before it burned


i finished the paint of the rads and fans, it took ages to polish properly and to have them glow, its not a mirror yet but its spray paint so...

[ScottALot]

Wow! I'd buy those fans if the Magmas weren't so much to start with ...

[antho]

they are not cheap and awful to paint, but they seems to work better and quieter than the yl sl i`m used to

[antho]

Today i'll make a mesh case for the rehobus










And as the roatry and angled fitting are off the table i start to shape some tube

[ScottALot]

Where's the Rheobus going? With the mesh, does it still fit in a 5.25" or 3.5" bay?

[antho]

It goes on the side panel, take a look at the global picture on page 1 . Normally it should still fit in a 5.25 bay. Tight probably, but i use the original sunbeam bracket as reference.

[antho]

I had some fun with the bending brake, here is the front grid

It's made of 1mm alu sheet, then covered with carbon fiber :

[aberchonbie]

where did you get the carbon fiber wrap? it looks pretty awesome..

i also enjoy your job on the HD's.. pretty clean I'd have to say

[antho]

[giorgioprimo]

astonishing work ....

may you explain in detailed way how did you polish your painted rad ?

I'm curious because i saw you spry-painted it but the results looks like really professional
