I wanted to do something different from the "classic" openings. With this opening, we'll well see the configuration and lighting will highlight cutting More than a PC, a Passion

Summary of the day:

Now that the opening of the door is made, I have to work on plexi.
To begin, I prepare the glass with masking tape and I trace the shape of the light beam for the Bat-signal.

And I cut the glass to size for the door.






Then I get in my stock a white NZXT LED strip







As the sheath will bother me for what I want to do, the Team is responsible for removing

"That's good Babouk. Sleeve is off.
What will we do now?"


But missing someone ...

"it's good to tan"



And Flora is not the only one enjoying the sun




Now I'm going to rest a bit and let the team take care of sanding the area delimited by the masking tape part. A little later ....

"Done, plexi is opaque over the zone defined"



And...




Everyone at work!

"Hold the cable. Twist, you mark points for the drill"



And here are a few holes made ​​for LED.







Try on case










Let's see what it looks with the PSU BeQuiet "Power Zone"






It's time to see what gives the glass in the dark, with lighting




And with the door

Very nice! Looks really cool. Will you be working on the edges of the light traces? They're not entirely straigth.

My first step was to do the heavy work on the case. Now, I have to do finishes, small changes to make.
Still a lot of work to do, maybe not the most tiring but that will take time and energy More than a PC, a Passion

Hello everyone. Hey hey, I'm still around and still a tough louse well hung.
After a long, long forced break on the "Bat Ô Fou" (IRL life is not always easy), I'm back.
Good truce of talk, let's get serious.
To begin with, a first package arrived in the meantime with some material for watercooling







So, a WB-CPU Aquacomputer cuplex Kryos PRO




Two WB-GPU Watercool Heatkiller GPU-X3, backplates and multi-link


















Aquacomputer Aquatube




Sleeving...






As well as work on the case.






















Meanwhile, I made some changes.
To start, motherboard change for the mod, with ASUS X79 Deluxe (thank you Sassanou who sold me this motherboard)







Then I will use rigid pipes (order arrives soon)



Et quelques autres petits changements dans les composants:

Order arrives to replace the Phobya tank, I chose a Bitspower Water Tank Z-250 Multi (Limited Edition Brass - True Brass)



And finally an order that I will make early next week



That's all for now More than a PC, a Passion

Very nice update! This is going to be a seriously powerful machine!

Thanks. I hope I'll do a nice machine, certainly not the best, but at least my best for now, for my second mod.

Also be aware that in the meantime, I was still busy with some custom work:

Watercooling:












Sleeving:










Plexi:











And soon a watercooling to do with a slight modding on a good working base:




I feel I'm going to be busy in the coming weeks More than a PC, a Passion

Definitely looks like you've got some more work to do

Works of the day:

For starters, while I was going to start work on the case, a delivery arrived











Let's start with the front.

Decorations




A little "dough that repairs all"




Part of the Team is here to give me a hand

"You have to stick the dough. Well press and then smooth with some water"
"OK ... but it's strange this thing"






Some marking lines

"Why babouk drew all these lines ? There are times when I really struggling to follow him"




"I think we will need this decorative object"




A hole, a BATARANG with a projecting portion ...




"Pitch Perfect. That way the hinge does not interfere"




With everything in place. OK, we glue the mask.




"Now that the mask is stuck, we'll let dry. Next time, we will smooth imperfections"




Then I had to redo the plexi side door. So I opted for simplicity, sticker film finish "frosted"







And a small finish for the location of the temperature display
