Hey there peeps thought Id finaly sit down and share this with you.

Been meaning to for a long time but Welshy dear old boy keeps changing the componants!

Anyways the info I got from welshy at the start was "Lian Li A70 please mate"

And then after about an hour i got "dark, maybe evil....hmm deffo black maybe another colour too"

Other than that I could do what I wanted, perfect kinda guy in my opinion!

Theres alot of little things going to be done to the case so I wont bore you in a massive post but the main features will be

Proffesional Spray Job - colour is top secret at the moment

Waterjet cut custom roof and side panel

Powdercoated chassis

And a sprinkling of the black stuff - carbon fibre

some stock photos

Some work is already done, the side panel is cut already, the roof WAS ready also, but thanks to welshy buying a 4870x2 thats all changed.

There is now a 120.3 going in the roof and a 120.2 in the front.

Side:

Now Ive been working on this design all week and I think Ive finaly cracked getting flames in to a 120.3 grill and still have good airflow......

thats going over to be cut again on monday, welshy has been told no more changes now because its a pita getting new roofs!

What do you think of that grill....?

Tom I love the project dude. Congrats on getting me to post. Seriously, I'm getting a little slow with my contribution to the internet recently (You last visited: 05-10-2008 at 05:54 PM). Well back on topic, thats some awesome cnc work on the side panel! The grill looks nice but I wouldn't put my coffee on it but my pc's more functional than good looking. I can't wait to see how this one turns out mate!

The side panel was the last time Ill be using a laser cutter, had far too many problems with warping and out of possition cuts which is why its Waterjet cuts only from now on, cleaner more precise and less metal stressing due to the lack of heat.....

Perfect for intricate roof cuts and some other specials Ive got coming through.

Been out in the manshed all morning, been itching to get on with the front of the case all week.

Right the plan was to cut away the perforated section uin the front of the A70 and remove the switches while there aswell. Then Id insert some mesh and mount the 120.2 behind that. But I had a spare grill cut into the 1st roof so decided to go nuts with the bandsaw, chop up the roof and mount it in the front!

right on with the pictures and you will see!

front and roof before cutting

Ooooops not much of that left!

And this is where it will be, Ill bolt or rivet the grill too the case and the rad will mount to this. Ill round off all the edges and the powdercoat should help smooth it off abit.

***FAO all modders this is a health and saftey warning***

***ALWAYS WAIR EYE PROTECTION WHEN CUTTING OR RISK LOOKING A GOON!***

WRONG WAY

RIGHT WAY

Took me about 20mins to get it out of my eye!

I cut the original switches and mesh out of the front

And then inserted the new mesh, its still got its protective coating on thats why its shiney

I loose bolted in the rad and some fans just as a mock up

I put a light behind the grill and mesh to show what it will look like when the red led xilence fans will look like in the final build.

The protective cover and the angle of the camera dont help show the 'D1K' in the name but it looks fine sat here looking at it, just couldnt get the cam to show it with the light

When the rig is off the grill will be almost stealthed, it will only been seen really when the rig is on and lit up!

Thats it for now Im back off out in the shed!

Very nice mate, looking good so far!

 

[BloomerzUK]

I know the pain of getting stuff in your eye.. so much pain. Did it when scraping artex off a ceiling in a bungalow..

OT: Brilliant start mate.. Gonna be watching this.

 

[WelshD1K]

ohh i finaly taken my hands out of my pants to say w0w

I don't know whether anyone else has noticed, but WelshD1K resembles something else rather funnier in that style of writing. I can't help but make a sexual innuendo out of everything, don't blame me!

Nevertheless, awesome project, I'll be watching this thread.

Yeah, you weren't the only one to think that way... I was about to post 'and what did your hands do in your pants', but I didn't

 

[tinytomlogan]

[Thanh55]
