hello tzitzibp, looking good so far. I was wondering where you got the black fan grills you are using in the top (by the fan controller)?

"nicely done" is such an understatement :respect:

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

thank you very much!

though, I still have work on it... details in my mind! :roll:

DanishDevil · Apr 8, 2009

It looks great man! Definitely has a lot more fans than I ever had too. I like the hinges on the door too

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

the good news is that the noise is less than with any other case I owned!

ME :nutkick:

Noise

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

The details I was talking about.....
1. placed exhaust fan grills (now, the back view looks like a massive speaker!!!) :rockout:

2. filter grills for the PSU... (Nice chrome touch)

3. installed perspex on the side window... :cool:

4. added some sound insulation....

MENoise

the main reason is due to the fans vibration. Normally fans transmit their vibration to the case which is magnified.(thinner material cases are the worst offenders)
Since you used such a solid material for the case the vibration is absorbed into the material.

Now time to get some feet/wheels that will be able to support that monster.

the case is supported by 8 anti-vibration feet.... and touching the case, you feel no vibration, mainly, as you say, because of the material and its thickness!

MKmods · Apr 8, 2009

I guess what I was trying to say is since the case is so big/solid that using big/solid feet would look more equal to the case.

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

I understand!

I wanted to rise the case slightly, so that it looks as if its still on the ground, and get an anti-vibration effect, aswell!

what you suggest is an interesting alternative!

MKmods · Apr 8, 2009

PS: congrats on "Completing" the case.. I seem to have a prob lately completing projects... I get half way done than my mind takes off in another direction.

The Sub woofer grills were another nice touch (ascetically they go with the big solid feel of the overall look)

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

thanks man...

ps. if I was anyplace near you, I'd like to team up with you for a project! thanks again! :toast:

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

here are some pictures of the project, completed!

pantherx12 · Apr 8, 2009

That looks great

You got it running yet?

Is it as effective at cooling as it looks!

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

I got it running two days now in the basement of my house, where temp is about 18C.

at that room temp,
I get 23C on CPU, 26C on NB and SB....STOCK & IDLE (fans set to mid revs. about 1100rpm)

I get 26C on CPU, 30C on NB and SB....STOCK & FULL LOAD (fans set to mid revs. about 1100rpm)

I still need to test it at normal room temps (ie 24-26) and low rpm

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

@pantherx12 btw I attended Chelmsford College dep. of Engineering (1993-1995) lol I am getting old!

Sir_Real · Apr 8, 2009

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

btw it would be a great looking fan.... that subwoofer !

EiSFX · Apr 8, 2009

Awsome work man looks Fing sweet can't even tell its made from MDF man you could use that thing as a center piece on the dinner table

there nothing i can say that compaires to the awsomeness of your work and case
i just love the look of it not all flashy with bright lights it has kinda a solid industrial look all i can say again is just Awsome

tzitzibp · Apr 8, 2009

thanks man! :toast:

It took me about a month of design and draw, and a bout two weeks to build! It is def worth it.... especially if you think that the total cost of the case is about 300 euro (380 usd)
