Update time!:
Wow, it has a been a long time since I really did this. But, I have to thank MK for getting me to finish it.. It gets a little discouraging when something just can't seem to go the way you wanted it.. Fact, this started out the way I didn't want it to. So, now it will finish the way I wanted it.
Reason. $85ish worth of Aluminum from
onlinemetals.com. Their a great site for any type of metal that you want. I was able to do the following.
2 24"x24" Aluminum 5052 .63t sheets for 15.29ea {30.58}
4 9"x24" Aluminum 5052 .63t custom sheets for 12.96ea {51.84} + {$3 special cut fee(one time only)
Only reason you just see 3 panels.. I took that picture last.. lol
Now, here is what I'm thinking at doing it all.. Well, you see it bit by bit..
Don't you love how big the screen is and that small little thing? lol.. Now, reasoning for what I'm doing.. I wanted to have the front Flush.. nothing on it at all.. The Blu-ray drive can open til it hits a 150* angle.. so, why not give it a 90* one? I just wanted to do the one bay, I didn't care for the cover and the "bay drive" hdds.. Yeah, it cuts down on the cables, but I really don't want but just the SSD in the case. Grabbing ether a raid cage or a NAS for the finish of this build.. Get the lease amount of stuff in here.. Hell, I'm even thinking of putting the drive in the back of the case. FrozenCPU does custom length power cables, so I could easily do it.. case is only 2f in each ways..
Now, for the cuts.. It was a fun thing to do. First off was drilling holes for the ends. Line everything up for the cuts.
After doing all the sides, we went in to the rails. Line everything up so we can start the offset rad. i still wanted to do a quad.
Set it to where the rad will sit flush with the back end. That gives me enough room for me to do two things
Res on the top, allowing it to do a 1/4barb fitting the out of the pump/res to the rad. So, I don't have to use any tubing what so ever. Plus, It gives me a filling port for the top. I'll most likely get a "longer" res tube, so I can do it up right.
From that, we went and set up the rad. 4 fans. It was a pretty easy thing to do. Since I'm not using a Thermochill rad, all I have to do is line up 4 fans perfectly
Then from that, I grabbed a mock painted fan and got the pilot holes for the 114mm hole saw to start it's magic
From that it turned out like this.
I'm pretty amazed on how it turned out.. It turned out a WHOLE lot better then the side rad wholes that I did.. But, this time I did it right..
So, after doing that.. man, the Black clouds started coming along.. dang it.. Cleaned up and will do more Thursday. Short day.
Now, here is the difference between what he sent me, and what I just did.
The one on the Right is what I just did.. Forgot to add that it wasn't quite the same size of the panels that the case sends.. so, got out the saw and cut it to size! I think it was like a 1/4 on the top and side difference.. So, probably a saw cut..
Well guys.. That's it for tonight.. I'll add a bit more in a bit.. Late for dinner!
Thx MK for setting me straight on doing this fully.. Also thanks to RM and his parents for allowing me to do it there. Good day.
Later
Nice work...love the Koolance pump and the idea of blowing air up into the case from the bottom is one that I favor...my CM690 case comes with a 120mm fan vent on the bottom and I made sure to put an intake fan there. After all cool air seeks lowest ground right?
