Cray C916 (supercomputer) scratch build - NAS

[HCP]

Colortesting, looks nice.
Waiting fore some more plastic to be delivered before i can make the bottom and all parts holding the motherboard/drives.
(front pieces on each of the three modules are missing, it will be covered)

Hard to get correct tone into the camera. And its no matte clear on either, will make the walls first

Coming along nicely Maybe a softer backdrop will offer more detail to the shot?

Yeah, i have a photo place for this with backdrop but im repainting that room right now.
In this pic its two doors acting background, that combined with bad lights and camera flash makes it strange

Next step...

Got delivery of some more plastics, my acrylic bending for the front pieces didnt work so i use 1mm styrene and glue them in layers to keep the bend, along with some heat while gluing. Probably do 3-4mm thick totally.

The front pieces, this is the outer one.

More coming up...

Current status, its messy due to wet sanding... But i´m gettin´ there
Hope to have all walls there tomorrow so i can start on the drive cages and stuff to hold all components

 

[HCP]

Now i´m back to my real projects again

As the YAPP installing i needed to do some work to keep my hands busy.
Working on the round roof and some side panels.

Looking really cool I have a question though. . . Are you Notch, as in the Minecraft guy? You kinda look like him
