Oracle Project

[SaaintJimmy]

Hey folks! I'm finally back with a fresh new project for you, this time a mITX scratch build based on Oracle, a Persona 5 character.

This project is brought to you by *me*:
MSI Italy - Enermax Italy - Adata XPG Italy - PC Frog SRL Milano

Let's start off with some hardware pics. These include: MSI GTX 1070Ti Gaming X, XPG Spectrix D80 and SX950U 500Gb, Enermax SFX Revolution 650W and LiqFusion 240 with T.B. RGB Fans, Ryzen 5 2400G.

And now the real stuff. First thing to do is create a base structure from aluminum profiles of various type: flat, squared, L-shaped etc.

And rivet everything together

Doubled it

Some preliminary test fitting

Internal mounts for acrylic fan and radiator holders

Now this looks interesting.

Mh I did this yesterday but didn't see the player in the preview and thought it wasn't the right way to do it. Thank you very much!

Im stuck using yuck... Edge in work. With edge, I can embed a video, but it shows blank until I refresh the page.

Annoying but it works.

Update time!

Rad and fans mounting panels completed

Original layout I had in mind

New layout after rotating the case to drill some holes and noticing it was way cooler like this hahaha

Internal cover panels. The one above the graphics card also helps the card to stand in place and not move around

Man those were some busy days... but I'm here again for an update!
Today we're taking a look at some final tweaks before the paintjob starts.

All the thread inserts for the external panels

UV green panels and other clear and to-be-painted panels

Design for fan vents

Added an aluminum flat strip to have a better structure for the acrylic panel that will hold the PSU

 

[SaaintJimmy]

Here I am with a huuuge update!
I couldn't find an interesting way to make the feet of the case so I just went all out and made this out of 8mm acrylic, aluminum L-profiles and pine wood:

And no it's not an Omen X, as a lot of people said. The only thing in common is the cube form hahaha

Paintjob starts

Decided to leave central acrylic piece clear so I polished the edges

Swapped the motherboard for an MSI H310I PRO since the previous one was dead

Stencils on the internal panels

Majority of the hardware is in

UV LEDs all around the top and bottom sections

UV lighting test

Oh wow! :drool: I'm loving the cyberpunk-esk styling and unique angle of the case as it sits so very very different.
