Hey guys,
Here's the work I did on the front panel mod.
The piece is 1.2mm aluminum and what I used for the cutting is a Dremel Moto-Saw as you can see from the pictures. It's like a mini portable scroll saw, very handy and really good for the price.
I drilled small holes in the panel first so that I can begin the cutting with the scroll saw.
Bit of a learning curve with this but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. And it cut through this aluminum panel with no effort at all.
As you can see, the vinyl is my guide.
Here all the cutting was done and it was time for the filing to make it nice, smooth and even
I cut the corners same shape as the windows, gave it a scuff everywhere and it was done.
The whole thing took me about 3 hours to do. Now to get it sprayed!
I think it came out looking awesome and was surprised how easy it was to cut it once I got the hang of the scroll saw.
The Dremel Moto-Saw will definitely come in handy from now on, I wonder how it will do on some steel or thicker panels.
Let me know what you guys think?
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys!
After a lot of exiting news from E3 as well as AMD and watching a bunch of press conferences over the past few days, it's time to get back to work on the build!
Those of you who know me and also my Vault Boy case mod can absolutely guarantee that I jumped on the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition straight after the Bethesda press conference! There are also a lot of ideas spinning around in my head about another Fallout case mod, a different one this time with a more post-apocalyptic look! If and when I decide to do that you will all surely find out
Back to the build!
Here is all the vinyl work I did for some of the components with some chrome vinyl!
You can see the SSD has been painted black. Also the fans cables have been shortened, crimped and re-sleeved, only some that needed it. I chose the toxic symbol for them, think it suits the build and also just a circle on the back to cover the fan housing.
Let me know what you guys think.
And guys the Mod of the Month voting is still going on Bit-Tech until the 28th of June and the race is really close! Have a look and cast a vote if you haven't done so already.
Cheers,
Alex

Looking good mate. So you give the Moto Saw, a thumbs up then? I've had one in my basket a few times but have never bit the bullet and followed through, the YouTube reviews seem pretty positive, but none from modders, you might have just tempted me again to have a look for a bargain.

Thanks mate!
I think that the moto-saw is good though not sure if I mentioned this before, it's also the first scroll saw I used. For the price I think it's awesome and should be more than good enough for what I need. I will mainly just cut panels like this from aluminum and also acrylic
It takes a little practice but after a few more tries hopefully I'll be able to craft even more complex bits with it

Hey guys,
Today I shortened and sleeved the DDC pump and added one missing piece to the pump and res combo in order to be able to properly bring the loop back to the top of the res.
It's sort of like a Bitspower aquapipe but out of a piece of acrylic that EK offer for these reservoir tops.
Originally I wanted to use the Bitspower aquapipe as I have quite a few laying around however EK chose to have larger than G1/4" threads on the inside of these tops for some reason so the aquapipe didn't work. Luckily I found the acrylic tube that EK offer locally.
Once I received it, just had to shorten it to fit this res.
These are the threads on the inside of the res top.
Easily done
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more to come over the weekend!
Cheers,
Alex

Here's the new EK stuff I received. Nickel plated mounting bracket and a new clear Supremacy EVO top, part of the upgrade kit. Also new RAM modules to replace the ones that were powder coated before.
Made some decal stickers for the RAM modules to go with the toxic theme
Pretty nice looking little combo!
Starting to get components back in the case. Still waiting on fittings, tubing and cables to arrive.
Thanks for checking it out!
Cheers,
Alex
I use it often. I suggest buying the 90degrere blades for longer length pieces. Also it is perfect for hobby wood 18mm thick. i did a practise piece and managed to cut out the razer logo quite well on thin acryclic.
The only thing I dont like is the guide piece that they provide, its supposed to help cut straight, but there is too much play/wobble on it so you cant trust it.
Also I DONT recommend cutting thick pieces of metal. None of the blades I had could take it and snapped
I suppose its possible but you have to go extremely slow.edit* Sorry for thread jacking.
Awesome rig setup so far. I love the skull on the mem blocks. thats pretty impressive. I have my Cameo on order so hopefully it comes soon.
