Something Wicked This Way Comes

Just a little shot of W.I.P.
Attachment 220
Think I will call it the black widow. When complete all parts get high gloss clear-coat except front bezel.

Nice teaser shot but we want MORE! :D

punx223 06-10-2009 12:10 PM

DrNip 06-10-2009 12:25 PM
Teaser, Teaser, Teaser!! Way to make an entrance Archer.

Still trying to figure out how you guys are posting images like that.

Before shots.

The system had an 8000 BTU cooler:D but alas I have decided on more normal OCing with regular air cooling. The vid and cpu intakes will be replaced with 50% perf 16ga SS with at least one 6" fan bringing in filtered air. The back and top vents/vent are to stave off hot spots behind the mobo and in the HDD area

Kal-EL 06-10-2009 01:35 PM
Nice, reminds me of the machine in buck rogers, beedy beedy. :D

punx223 06-10-2009 01:45 PM

Your cases are very well ventilated bro. You like modding huh? :D keep the pics rollin......

Archer 06-11-2009 07:21 PM
I will have time to finish this when I get back from the mountains. Until that time just know that I was playing Texas chainsaw massacre with the other side of the case and some 16ga 50% perf SS using a high end rotary tool until about 4 this UHHH yesterday morning. Crap cutting stainless with a rotary tool takes time. I got peed at the case door and did some hacking and slashing with the angle grinder also:)

EDIT: never use a torch or plasma on these cases as they are prone to warp:( just keep the metal almost too hot to touch (140-180*)

Ehem.........Got Video? :D

Archer 06-11-2009 07:41 PM
No as it would not be appropriate (sparks everywhere safety glasses flying through the air) However I do have a Mill to set up soon and I have full unlimited access to a CNC burning table (I built the control unit cheap so I could use it as needed) as well as some limited water jet use time as well ( I think I rebuilt that whole damn machine so if you want video I can think up some neat crap:))

EDIT: Got to get my TIG rig back up here at my shop as well then we can do some heavy metal modding.

hellcamino 06-11-2009 07:42 PM
For the sheet metal work on cheesy grade atx case steel I like to use a small reciprocating saw, if you have padded clamps to use it works really nice. Even an angle grinder will burn most of the cheap steel or beer can grade aluminum they use with cases typically.

Are you using the ducting just for a cold air setup at this point?

Archer 06-11-2009 08:10 PM
Nope this one will be all ambient air one side of the case will be open with a filtered between 2 pcs of perf SS and fans on the inside.

Here are some shots of the carnage of yesterday morning and the tools used. I really didn't have much to worry about to a point with the warping as there is not much left of the side:

Actually all ducting is going to be used in a 100% hand made multi cooled rig. I will be sacrificing an AC, making SS cold plates for attaching to the coils and using welding coolant. Probably make my own water blocks as I have a concept for a custom setup for a decapped CPU.

Any chance you are a Wa native? I need somebody to collaborate this kind of shit with.

Sorry dude, I am on the other coast, unless you mean DC

Nope.

Archer 06-23-2009 02:46 AM
I will be doing a little redesign on the front bezel, moving the optical drive down and incorporating a hydraulic cooling solution. I just need to find the right combination of coolant and tubing. Thinking about making the top vent easily removable and integrating a DI cup.

Neuromancer 06-23-2009 06:52 AM
Nice rig Archer, I did not know you were over here too.

Yeah I haven't really had the time to get into this forum much but I do like it. Int the coming weeks I plan on putting a little more time into the whole forum thing as it is a form of self promotion as I may be taking the dive into a case mod-fab shop.

Archer 06-30-2009 06:01 PM
Getting the fab on the side plate finished up and then the paint. I have too many ideas for this rig as it will only be a play thing:) perhaps a hydraulic system for cooling a stacked TEC assembly with a couple of air cooled TEC's on the reztank and the rad mounted at the top exhaust if I need one.
