[Project] :::Flow::: (SNiiPE's V2110) - Resurrected

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-20-2009, 10:05 PM

Ugh this got lost in the reversion so bear with me here, this is a quote of all the posts over at overclock.net

Remember the worklog is on TPU, techreaction, gilgamesh reviews forums, bit-tech, and OCN should the worst ever happen again

I know some/most of you are familiar with my build, PermaFrost, which was awarded a spot on the Million Dollar PC. Well that build I accomplished two goals, one to be recognized by the aforementioned website and two to achieve a build that would allow me to seek sponsors and make a passion that drained my bank account into one that is sustainable and able to flourish (read: sponsorship)

So first I will introduce my initial sponsors (list to grow, haven't even begun to seek my hardware sponsors,yet)

Lamptron will be sponsoring a Custom made FC-3 controller and lighting for this build!

Lian-Li has sponsored me with this Wonderful PC V-2110b case that I should be receiving in the next several days.

Gilgamesh will be supplying me with some things, namely a radiator

more to come on that later in the log

I hope you guys are as excited as I am about this, I have some cool concepts that I will be implementing into this one and hopefully some partnerships with some of the other top modders to make it outstanding.

cheers,

-Ian

cool case and nice layout design, more pics

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-21-2009, 11:00 AM

Hey all, just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am taking my panels to the waterjet tomorrow @ 8am so I should have pics by noon ^^

clone38 · 04-21-2009, 11:16 AM

Like what i see so i`ll stick around

Rise · 04-22-2009, 10:54 AM

its noon!!!!!

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-22-2009, 10:56 AM

I know....

,

I went to talk to the guy who runs the waterjet yesterday and he sprung on me that he definitely could not do it today so Its gonna be friday or possibly next week when it gets done

I offered him extra payment to put in some extra time for me so hopefully I can get the cuts ASAP. Sorry bout the false info :\

lkiller123 · 04-22-2009, 04:36 PM

Take your time

BTW, I think window in the top panel might be a good idea if you are not planning on installing rads on there. But it seems like not enough space on top for the rads.

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-22-2009, 04:49 PM

I have yet to decide between lighting the build with an electric source or going for natural lighting... I have only so much time on the waterjet and just the panels I am making so far are pushing it. I think if I make a top panel mod (likely) it will be done by hand

also, I have a big announcment coming with another sponsor coming later

lkiller123 · 04-22-2009, 06:45 PM

That's going to be awesome

Also, is the top panel going to be "smoked"?

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-27-2009, 01:45 PM

The waterjet cutter at my school broke down today... no ETA on the cuts and they may not get done before I leave for home... delays-delays-delays.... never fear I will find a way!

EagleRock · 04-27-2009, 01:50 PM

I'm sure this is going to be very awsome build

Can't wait for more pics.

SNiiPE_DoGG · 04-27-2009, 02:14 PM

I have just sourced at least 3 waterjet cutting shops servicing low volume and specialty orders within 45minutes of my home

DragoonXX · 04-27-2009, 03:04 PM

NICE, wish I had that kind of access, lol..best I've got is one of my sister's friends dad paints cars,trucks,bikes...etc for a living, and has had a bunch of his work featured in car mags, and at one time I bounced my powder coating idea off him, and he told me that if I was ever interested in getting it painted, that he'd love to as he's never painted a computer case before and would love to add it to his portfolio (aka...low to no cost paintjob!)
and i'm still trying to figure out the final design, lol...it'll come to me after it's complete
