Project Silent Shadow

[Bl00m]

Hi all here at Overclock3d.net!

I´m new here and have a project that I would like to present to you!

Let me introduce Project Silent Shadow, This is my first Modding project.

The main thing with this project is that I´m going to build a computer chassi from ground up.

The color theme that the build have is Black and Red, I will also try to keep it as clean as possible. I will also make this an all watercooled build.

The chassi is going to be made out of aluminum, what methods I will be using to get all the cheetmetal as I want, I will have to figure that out as I go.

The hardware That is going in to this build will come during everything but I know one thing and that is the PSU that the Swedish company Fractal Design is sponsoring with, it´s an Newton R2 800W, witch I will be sleeving.

Hope that this is making some OC3D members interested in following my journey.

Keep in touch updates is coming soon

Excuse my English, it´s not all good but I hope you understand what I´m writing.

Big thanks to:

Och nu till lite sleevning av pci express kablarna:

in lack of real tools I had to use some staples

And the whole thing finished

Best regards

Okey so here is an assembly from solidworks over the chassi some changes may be added.

More is coming

looking good!

Looking great ! Are you going to get the aluminum laser cut ? If not, how are you doing the grilles ?

 

[adicool96]

Whoah nice dude a quad radiator at the bottom have you checked out the new temjin 11 looks similar to your render.

 

[Hay11Mac]

Looks good, can't wait for more

 

[adicool96]

Where is the psu gonna be placed?

 

[Bl00m]

Fun with so many replys

yes I´m going to have a quad radiator in the bottom of the case

@daantjuh44: I havn´t figured that out yet, I dont think I will laser cut it since that is a bit to expensive, I´m looking in to if a friend maybe able to help me in his CNC, otherwise I going to do it oldschool in an ordinare cutter.

@adicool96: no I first time i see it since you mention it I have designed this case my self.

The PSU is plased also similar to the TJ07 case, its placed in the bottom with the fan taking air from the other side I will see if I can upload a picture of that side aswell

right now its going abit slow but hope to gett time to work on this as soon as possible

best regards

[KTCRITCH]

Looks absolutely amazing! Stunning!

New update

Here is some pictures of the things that arrived from coolingstuff.se

Radiator, radiatorstand, fans and reservoar:

More is coming soon

 

[Bl00m]

Oooh what is this?

Another update! Well yes it is

Here is some pictures of the things that the awesome people at Aquatuning.com sponsored to my project.

The pictures isn't the best, since I think there maybe some desert sand inside the camera.

[chudley]

Looks good so far matey

what camera are you using as the early shots have really vivid colours.

 

[Bl00m]

Thanks

I´m using an Nikon D60 with either an 18-55mm 1:3,5-5,6G or 55-200mm 1:4-5,6G lenses

and much fiddling around with settings

I hope that I will get the camera clean so the pictures will be great later on

[adicool96]

Thats nice man hope u get that camera clean. Have you done any previous builds/mods? And also can you tell me the measurements of the aluminium that your gonna use for each part like the bottom,top,etc. Sorry for bothering you but im thinking about making my own chassis design and it would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

 

[Bl00m]

Nope this is my first build I have done some minor mods before but nothing major and worth mention.

Sorry but I don´t want to tell all the measurements until maybe after the project ends, hope that you understand.

But i can give you some advise, look at other chassis big tower and midi tower depending on how big you want it to be, and the take the measurements on the components, and then figure out how you will be able to fit everything in there

one big thing to think of is if you going to watercool everything or if you will use air then you have to think different but that you maybe already know

The thickness of the aluminum is up to you aswell, I have gone with 2mm and 5mm, but this also depends on how you will put everything together I know that some modders like to use 1mm and max 2mm but then it might be hard to get the design great, then its lots of bending of the metal to get all panels to fit together.

Hope you understand and that my tips will help you, if you got more questions just ask them and I will try to help you
