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

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

3. installed perspex on the side window...

4. added some sound insulation....

To the best of my knowledge, the panels you got installed, act as acoustic treatment rather than insulation. Audio is gonna leak since it's not a closed box.

What the panels do however is prevent/soften the reflections of sounds inside the box.

IMHO, such a move pleases the soul, but has no significant effect.

Besides that, the case :rockout:

NO arguments there, mate! it does not eliminate the sound, but it does reduce it by preventing sound... "bouncing around" with in the case!

as for the effect.... you have to hear it, to believe it! :toast:

hope you have a great time during your vacation!

Oh my .. what a fans , i fall in love with your massive case. I never thought things can be made like that, but i found TPU and here are craziest things I have never seen.
I Am really amazed by your work. Now I'm jeaous about the case and I would really like to make something awesome like that, but I won't, cuz my setup is not worth that

Cheers

Thanks guys....

the frame was glued together, but it also needed some internal support...
the doors were attached to the main frame with the use of hinges and gas bottles!

Yeah, you need more space!! lol..

I was going to go and get a Cube style system, but this one popped out at me... Still wish I did.. I could do TONS, with a cube... Still might do so.. Stackable case mod..

I 'm not so happy with cube cases, for some strange reason. I think your choice of case is perfect. ...

btw, I always need more space.... two wc loops are not enough! Three is the magic number... I am actually thinking about rearranging the loop, while adding a third just for the cpu... maybe end of autumn... we 'll see!

MKmods · Aug 2, 2009

Its fun to follow logs, but whats REALLY fun is watching mods being refined afterwards. Great job Tzi :respect:

tzitzibp · Aug 2, 2009

To be honest.... I don't have the time to start another as demanding and time consuming as this was, so I 'd rather refine this one than do nothing at all!

He is my main project now. For sure!

btw, guys I have to let you know that I 'll be gone for a couple of weeks. Vacation time! (As if I 'll be missed

)

MKmods · Aug 2, 2009
