.:Filtration:. - Finished - New Video

[Skorchio]

Thanks AA but im not sure where im getting it cut yet. All the internals are going to be done power white, the outside of the case (due to all the filler and smoothing work) will be painted.

SA - The whole idea of lengthening the window is so you can see all the pumps, that window desing is not final yet, if you look a few pages back you will see in my original desgin (2008) i had it so you would not see the hdd cage, have a look and see. i know what you mean tho i may change in to suite, but its defo going to have to show off the pumps, infact ill do another shop now... 5 mins.

Ok here you can see the other options, looking at it now i kinda like it more, you will see the fan as well. Let me know what you think, iv inc a pic of where the fan will go.

Can you all let me know what one you like best, im undecided. Thanks

mmmm wheatabix.

theyre both good- i prefer the first one because you cant see the cd drives/hdds.

but since you're getting it laser cut - you could go for a much more complex design. i'm pretty sure most people could do that with a dremel. im not sure about the relevance of filtration, but maybe include some kind of filter pattern?

Or have the word FILTRATION in the bottom of the window? Back in 5, I'll shop up a pic so you can see what i mean

 

[Skorchio]

Yeh i wanted a simple window to keep the clean look, the focus is whats in side.

Its called filtration, 3 loops, one blue one light blue and one clear, as if its filtering the water.

I will probs white mesh behind the filtration grill, that really nice open hex mech

 

[siravarice]

How about these ideas?

Obviously the bottom filtration would be not be there lol, no point having two

And my favourite, this is the shape i want cut on my own TJ07 case

what ya thunk?

 

[Skorchio]

There both really good idea buddy but it a bit take the focus from what inside if you know what i mean, alltho i love the curved cut, maybe we can combine the 2 ideas, i got to take the misses out now but keep thinking

 

[Ducky Spud]

How about if you went for a design like the original which showed the HDD's, but used a curve like SA's? So it still covers the HDD's but curves towards the bottom front corner so still showing the pumps?

 

[siravarice]

I've had another idea, back in 5 after some shooping

 

[siravarice]

Just another idea

 

[a8875624]

My fav. is still the curved cut - the second one you posted S.A.

But I think you could really go nuts with the font/letters - it is being laser cut after all.

 

[Skorchio]

Thanks for the comments and ideas guys, had a bit of a materials hold up.

As i was struggling to get the fixings i wanted i started playing around with the ones i had,

Add some nickel plate and they would be very unique. But i found my fixings now so saves me doing 50 of these boys!!!

 

[Skorchio]

Iv had SUCH a nightmare with my fittings, but they are slowly starting to roll in now, i think its ni on £200 on them now

here is a preview of what i have done with what's come in so far! Should be getting the main order early next week

Still no word on the alli which is getting annoying, iv been promised next weekend!!!

[Skorchio]

Some more fixings arrives (alltho still loads more to come) as well as my alli from my friend Woop Woop

I orederd 6 new ugly fittings as they have a much longer thread to get through my 4mm flooring, the tops from the others go right on

Not able to get much done to night as i have to go see my girlfriend so here is what i managed to do. Its going to make the whole thing look so clean, cant wait to get my hand on it to do more.

More very soon,

Skorch.

 

[siravarice]

Nice!

 

[Skorchio]

Thanks

Well yesterday i made a new backing plate as the one i made previouly was design for the flooring to be at the standerd level (i allso cocked the last one up a bit, but shhh).

Also got a routing table with variable speed router best bargin i have ever had £40 from fleebay, local collection!

More later today

Got a good 5 hours work done today! Sorry for the crap photos, I’m going to stop using my phone now, most of them where blurred!

Got 1 of the 3 stripes that will hold the flooring together drilled and tapped.

I took these off the mobo tray as well, aids the clean look and allows me to flush more off with the backing plate, I was suppressed how ridged it was without them.

Then it was on to the new back panel, I did some fancy bending and cutting to fill a hole that was left after I did he last back plate, bit of lead later will seal it all up.

Then on the alli backing plate, I cocked up the last 2 cuts (tired) so ordering a new piece of alli. I see this as a blessing in disguise as I wanted this sheet to be 2mm and my friend could only get me 1.5. It also means I can finish working with this piece, get it all perfect, and then use it as a template when I get the new bit.

Here you can see I cut the bits out the wrong side, on both sides *face palm*

So I chopped it all off so it went it

I also got some new blanking screws, I prefer the hex once to the once a few posts back.

Might be able to work on it some more tom, stay tuned

Skorch.

 

[a8875624]

coming along nicely.

 

[Skorchio]

Thanks

More work done today.

I drilled the holes top the other ends of the pumps. Im not going to mount the fan as shown below now as it just look out of place, i will be purchasing a 12mm slim line fan to go inside the box and just had a rad grill laserd on the to bottom of the box. Im also changing the box slighty to direct the air flow of this fan down the back of the mobo to keep this cool. I read somewhere there airflow over the back of the mobo increased the max overclock.

Excuse the ugly fittings, all my new once are not the right size so I'm trying to get the replaced. alltho 4 days and still no email back about it!!! ARGGHHH

This is a no no

More soon
