My Gold --- update: Light effects

[Azurite]

Been taking a few extra shifts, so this is first day off since last wednesday. The extra money i make will be spent on next gpu upgrade

The two shortsides of the housing needs more love, so il continue with that now. Starting with the inside of the housing over the weekend(new freeperiod), so thats going to be sweet.

If i didnt already bought cpu block, tubing and fittings i would get these. These wasnt in sale when i made my order

Man, that looks extremely sexy. I remember seeing Linus show one off for his personal rig.

Yeah he did

However im gonna keep the parts i already got

. If i change themes in 1-2 years they are better to re-use also.

I tried on the acrylic and it fitted almost perfectly.

Nice mate, it looks fantastic with the acrylic on the unit

. Can't wait to see this beast with some hardware in it.

Was just to see how it fitted though. Housing need 2-3 coats of real paint before i can screw on the acrylic

I wanted one of those blocks, god damn they look incredibly awesomely sexy!

 

[Azurite]

@ Pexon. Yeah they are nice

Im done with priming the outside. I control measured the hight and both longsides were 19,6cm while the shortsides were 19,8. Need to take off 2mm on the shortsides(radsides) so the glassplate will lay down nicely and toutch the wood with no gaps. If the longsides had different hights it would be catastrophic for me. I could not sanddown/tapdown the acrylic side any because that "wood" most likely ruin the looks, or it would result in 10h more work to fix it. So that was todays exitemant for me, and im glad it was only the shortsides that need minor adjustments.

I can't wait to see some of the components in there.

That looks awesome for a test fit. Oh the newer Apogee XT Gold is it? I still think your XSPC CPU waterblock looks a bit better. It gives a bit of contrast to the system instead of having all that gold. Always waiting to see more great updates from you.

Been working alot lately so theres have been no time for any progress with the project

. Today i have ordered more parts from

.

First order will be combined with the sponsor package:

Now i only need gpu blocks and some clear tubing

Nvidia should hurry up and launch the 670-680 and 690's

Cool list of products you've purchased. Can't wait to see them in the cabinet. I've been pretty busy myself, so I haven't had much time to visit OC3D much lately.

Its been a while since last update. Ive been working alot lately so thats the reason why no progress. Been working on the housing today and heres some pictures of what ive been doing.

The fancontroller and the Multimedia I/O Ports/Power/Reset Buttons fitted extremely well, "like a glove"!!. I had to file alitle down in the corners but after i did that its almost stuck when i install it. This means i dont have to drill and screw it in place.

The cut outs need alitle sanding after i filed it for a good fit. Glad i didnt finnish the painting on the outside.

Really love how the fancontroller looks with the housing

Ive done cut outs for the cables for the controllers and also glued on a piece of wood for the led cable mount. More to come

 

[yassarikhan786]

I agree, it looks like a real nice fit

 

[PEXON]

Looking damn fine there brother!

 

[dipzy]

Looking good, cant wait for me updates

Thanks guys. Going to make more cut outs around the MB tray tonight

Tomorrow i will start with the hidden lightning inside the housing. If i get the time i will do some sanding inside also.

 

[PetrolHead247]

Damn, this is AMAZING

I cannot wait for more pics, the rig is going to look insane. Keep up the awesome work!

 

[Game Over]

This is going to be huge, I have been keeping tabs on your build and am very anxious to see how it turns out.
