Legacy build

Mageta Lion · Feb 9, 2014

After my Destiny build that you can find here :
http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=58374

it was time for the next step, going to build a rig from scratch

I'm using 3 mm thick aluminium plates for my side panels.

Here are some pictures of how it started with idea's and many drawings to the first wooden scale model and finally the side panels in metal.

work continued this weekend

worked on 2 PSU brackets to hold the PSU between the 2 side panels
and worked on the radiator and where to place it. Tomorrow they both are fitted on the side panels. For now here are some pictures of the build.

first heatsink is done

Just finished putting the mobo back together and installed the EK supremacy block on the i7 , job well done if I may say so myself

God this looks great!! subbed man, want to see more of this! Maybe a quick question, why didn't you point the EK block too, like the circles in blue?

Mageta Lion · Feb 23, 2014

Thanks man !

And tbh I haven't thought about that yet , I might look into that !

Tomorrow I work on the frame for the case then I'll upload some more pics of the build

thats cool looking mate.. personally i think it looks better that the red!

Tripp · Feb 23, 2014

that looks great in blue, consider me subbed

Mageta Lion · Feb 23, 2014

Thanks guys

appreciate it , and yea I think blue looks better too

MathiasBE · Feb 23, 2014

Could look really nice with some sleeved cables in white and blue

and maybe mayhems pastel blue for cooling liquid

Agamemnon · Feb 24, 2014

That motherboard looks beautiful, the paint is the perfect colour and would love to see blue accents on the block like Mathias suggested.

Subbed.

Mageta Lion · Feb 24, 2014

Today worked on 1 of the panels, made the 12 cm holes for the 2 fans that go on the radiator. Next weekend allot more work will be done, also the PSu will be placed then

for now here some pics of today , cheers

on a short note, the fans on the images are not fitted yet, thats why doesnt look as it should be

mehere · Feb 24, 2014

bet you had fun driving that holesaw through, loads of grap

Mageta Lion · Feb 24, 2014

yea... was not really fun, and took some time to go through.

Wraith · Feb 24, 2014

Subbed and looking forward to the rest of this build.

I love a scratch built project.

Mageta Lion · Feb 26, 2014

thanks

lAnimal · Feb 26, 2014

This looks very promising, especially after destiny

Can't wait for more, subbed!

Mageta Lion · Mar 1, 2014

Today did allot of metal working. Made some good progress

Tomorrow the two side panel will join together and then you'll
get a better idea of how it will become. For now here are some
pictures of today, cheers

Bartacus · Mar 1, 2014

Cool! Love these scratch builds, as they're pretty rare. I'm in! Looking good so far!

Mageta Lion · Mar 2, 2014

Today I started on creating the bolts to hold the 2 panels together
instead of using a long screw and bolt them together I came up with this

then it was time to make the 2 panels become 1 and put the PSU and Radiator between them. And the last image with my custom motherboard is a picture of things to come

MathiasBE · Mar 3, 2014

Damn, looks good! Do you have an idea what you are going to do colour wise?

Mageta Lion · Mar 5, 2014

I'm going with dark colors like, matt black / gloss black, and dark gray. And then with light blue details , also black / light blue sleeving for PSU
