Ok guys here's some more pics on how i created the busbars.

Here's how I created my busbars looking at the image below I purchased a job lot of these off ebay
Thinking of future builds all where new.



Looking at the image below you'll see I've removed the criss cross section and also cut off the first two holes has you see in the first picture and drilled some more the same size @ 1.5mm.



Again looking below I then took the time to feed some copper wire through the holes & solder the wire this makes each side a live or neutral. I basically did the same for the smaller ones above has you see in the pictures.



The last operation was to fill in with silicone. That's it busbars complete. I used double sided sticky foam and also applied some super glue gel to fix to the case.





LATEST PICS 29.08.2012


Pictures of side panel wiring.

looking below see how i wiered up & tidied up the wiring



Ok looking below you'll see that ive marked out 12 Volt & 5 Volt rails

Looking at the top block at the bottom you'll see to the left is 5V+ & the opposit sied is 5V-

7 on the bottmom set you'll see you'll see to the left is 12V+ & the opposit sied is 12V-

Some peripherals require both 12 Volt & 5 Volt rails to fuction. bSo it's it's important to wire

up has you see in the pics, see how i've use wire i.d letters. So BD = BLU-RAY




Again looking at the image below the main power feed comes from

The PSU from a molex plug,




Below is a standard molex plug with the volts shown






Fan Grill modification

Bought has new in silver has seen below.



Took the fan grills to work to give them a very fine blasting removing the chrome finish.



Mission complete now in black, so your thinking why not buy black :O) i wanted scythe & you cant buy in black




More pics coming soon guys happy modding.




9 X Fan enermax everest silence custom rebuild.

Bought 9 of the enermax everest silence fans has seen below.



Took the fans to bits give the aluminium ring a very fine blasting for the spray paint to adhere to.

Has you can see again below.



Process treatment for spying hang in oven for about 20 secs on gas mark 2 dont over cook lol



Starting to look better after being reassembled.



Night vision of illumination, now where i come from that looks BANG TIDY lol



Now after looking into things like CFM's these are probably not the best, when i've seen

Others that will out perform these claiming to deliver just over 100CFM's i'd like to

Have fans with LEDS, i may change these towards the back end of the year but not yet

What would you recommend.

More pics coming soon

Thanks.




Bolt process:

looking below you'll see a plain type allen key head bolt
to which i have used for bolting the fans to the rad & to the case.



Here we can see that i have now created taper head bolts by using the lathe
you can also see they have had a light blasting for preperation for spraying black.



below the bolts have been sprayed and placed in the oven to help the drying process
gas mark 2 for about 15/20 seconds turn gas off & leave in the oven for about half hour to dry fully.



There ya'go finished item think they look much better than a plain cap head bolt.




I'll post a few more pics of some of the smaller projects before we start on the good stuff

its all the small things that make it look better on its overall finished build.

every little helps as they say

Enjoy




Home made L.E.D. bars

I purchased some 1/2" square aluminium bar off ebay, cut to my required size. I start by

giving them a light blasting so the acrylic paint will adhere to, i've made a few of these up

for the new build due to having issues over the last few yaers with cold cathode lamps,

as sometimes they seem to die at one end and with this build i didn't want any problems

regarding lighting after completing the build.



As you can see below the L.E.D.S. seem to imit enough illuminance

forgot to mention the L.E.D.S only cost me £1.49.00 GBP off ebay



More pics to follow



CASE MODIFICATION:

Ok guy's here come's the beast code name "EXTREME MONSTA"

Bought one of the corsair Obsidion 800D's not much to say only "AWESOME"

purchased from off the internet at what was the cheapest at the time £237.00GBP

some would say i'm was completly mad putting the multi dremel type cutter to it hey

you've just got to know what your doing and see past it. enjoy the pics.



Out the the box & looking sweet.



All marked out ready for cutting.



Hey come on lets getting cutting.



Cutting complete.



Removed the bottom drive bays not required for me.







Fitted new panel and covered with the carbon effect vinyl



Hey the radiator looks sickage as my kids would say - lol



All six fans are now fitted and working.



Looking sweet.



More pics coming soon.



LIQUID COOLING LOOP BELOW


Ok guy's lets take a look down below at how i've configured some of the pipe work

for the liquied cooling loop. Ok looking below



Pipe work starting to come on.



All the square blocks i made at work they are 28mm square just right size

so you can adjust the bitspower fittings without catching the case.

Below is one of the blocks made from aluminium.




aligning the holes on the the rear for the reservoir to pass through.



Bitspower fittings & a enzotech dual rotary to make the connection Piece

for the liquied to loop through the reservoir.




All connected now the bottom part of the loop is complete.




Enjoy guys, just to mention that this build as been in progress

since last november although i've had a few changes on the way.

i'm currantly working on the final piece which is total "SICKAGE"

You'll see i will probably make you all puke. -lol-

More pics coming soon.


Ok guy's more pics from the build.

see how i connected the loop to the reservoir & pumps i basically did the same for the inlet.



Image belows shows how i covered the side for the drive bays

after removing the plastic cover that comes as standard.



Holes drilled for dual reservoir filling.



L.E.D.S. Added to the under side of the case for that little extra bling -lol-



Also removed the rubber feet & replaced with aluminium for easy sliding on & off desk.



Here i had a big change of mind after buying the MARS 2, i wanted the 3 - 8pin cables

to go through the plate.






Ok i added a little filler here help make it much better

for laying the carbon vinyl effect wrap due to lumps & bumps.



i boared out the threads on the bitspower fitting so no thread effect showing

give them a little spray got to admit that plate now looks pretty sick.




More pics coming soon.



Reservoir & pump assembly.





I used two on the push button type switch with the illuminated blue ring

Sorry guy's i cant help myself -lol-



The wiring caused me a proper headache but i got their in the end.



Now fitted in to the front of the case each pump as its on button.




More pics coming soon.


Rear reservoir assembly.

Here's a few images of the Rear reservoir assembly & pipe work & bitspower connections

passing through the case, the res is just over 400mm X 80mm from Koolance.








Looking good.



More pics coming soon.


Lower case moddification.

Ok guys here's what i came up with to discreetly hide the PSU and mass of cables etc.

The plate is 1mm think aluminium, with a 1.5mm perspex rear plate to which i gave it a

very fine blasting to create an opaque effect or frosted effect so we can't see anything

in the lower section of the case.







Here is how the plate slides in & out.



looks very nice with the side panel on



Below you can see the L.E.D. bars i made to illuminate the MONSTA cut out.

I also used a little silicone to fix them up, to prevent them falling down.



Looks much better now after applying the carbon vinyl wrap.



looking awesome now in place & all them cables you cant see.





Side panel on & illuminated looking awesome.





Ok guy's the build is almost complete i'll upload a few more pics

Then you have seen the new build, the best is to come.



Hope you've enjoyed the pics so far

Last few pics coming soon.



Front skull head with HDD activity leds.


Ok guys check out the image below for the finishing touches to the EXTREME MONTSA

I purchased a couple of the skull fan grill guards from mnpctech.

as you can see below i bolted it to some wood to which it had a square block behind it

i then put it in the lathe using a four jaw chuck got it centered up & put a 2mm groove in the rear side



This was to fit the mesh going around the fan grill guard i also put on the inside stuck to the mesh

some plastic card to which i gave it a slight sanding to create a frosted effect so you couldn't see inside.








Well its been a real pleasure sharing all the images with you guys & its been a good

10 to 11 months project, there as been many changes on the way ive got one little project to finish

which is a back plate for the sound card i'll get round to it some time soon i hope.

anyway you can see the EXTREME MONSTA its its glory as a finished project.

I'm also working on a VIDEO to which i will also post and let you have a good look round.







ENJOY GUYS BACK SOON.




Ok Guys. I finally managed to to get the youtube video all sorted and up loaded, unfortunately whilst uploading to youtube it kinda of detected camera shake so like being a noooob i agreed for youtube to auto correct this and its left it juddery & blairy in places so if your a virgin to uploading videos to youtube don't do the auto correct thing for camera shake cos it don't work.

[Neuropass]

Holy crap you went all out on that! I love how you organized the wires on the back. can you post some details on that? maybe an how to? Is that the double reservoir from koolance? I have that one. I had a lot of headache with it and decided to remove it. The liquid flow was not good at all.

[Animeware]

Wow dude That's so sweet good job

[Cybernetix]

Hi Neuropass. Yes mate the res is a Koolance 452x2 with two Laing D5 pumps with Variable Speed as for the wiring I'll try my best with a tutorial the bottom rails are 12v and the top rails are 5v I'll post some pics on how I made the busbars ETC although I'm away at the end of this week, but like I said I'll try my best and keep the topic alive with plenty of updates

Cool, looking forward to see specs and tutorial for the wires. Let me know how it goes with the reservoir. I had also a problem with the bezel. The central screw got loose as soon as I tight it.
