Project VF8
#1
PROJECT VF8
Hi! I would like to start my next scratch build project!
My main idea is to have really own and unique design of big tower case
Placing motherboard in unusual position - connectors will be located down in the case.
Also I want fit there two 480 radiators for best cooling performance.
Next part is interconnect acrylic panel for coolant between top and bottom part of case - CNC machined hopefully
As in my previous project this will be lasercutted mostly too.
There will be used same folding system as in my previous project.
I am not sure about final color theme (fluid, fans, etc.) so I decided to not show final render of project.
So I will always share only next part of build rendered.
This time is main frame of case
About the color theme.
My most favourite is black inside, white outside and coolant red or white pastel with Aurora booster.
Coolant color depends mostly on platform Z97 (Formula VII) - red, X99 (Deluxe) - white.
Materials:
Steel
Aluminium
Acrylic
Capacity:
Position for two 480 mm radiators (60 mm and 30 mm thickness)
ATX motherboard
Three positions for 2,5" SSDs and one position for 3,5" HDD
Position for two D5 pumps
Computer will be again water-cooled using products from the best companies.
Components:
Intel i7 4790K
ASUS Formula VII
ASUS GTX970 SLI
PSU V1000 CoolerMaster
SSD and RAM undecided
JetFlow and FP 120 FANs by CoolerMaster
and also watercooling, but about it another time..
Proudly sponsored by these amazing companies!
In this time I am working on two another projects, so I will try to add more very soon!
Here is first progress photo - first batch of lasercutted parts

UPDATE 1So finally we have the first update
Really somehow catch .. But I have done most of the frame - missing only the front and back that will give case the necessary stability and overall had a very firm and of course closed.Almost complete and only to test composite frame. Mostly will be used to assemble the M3 screws with countersunk head and in some places the classic M4 in combination with safety mothers.
But now even the individual parts. The first is the bottom where it will be all over the state. Just come into it mentioned M4 screws with locking nuts.
The upper part is almost the same piece with the difference that there are four holes for mounting of a radiator with fans.
The first of the sidewalls of the frame is the "front" which are also prepared all the necessary holes for mounting the second radiator.
The second rear sidewall to that is probably nothing to say.
Joining the panel that connects the sides and at the same time divides the case.
The last episode, which I have done at the moment, is the one which will be mounted on the motherboard and expansion vessel. Again, this is designed so as in the previous project to this entire episode went slightly shove out with "content".
Here are drawn last two frame parts, namely front and back. Cutted and bent should be next week and then will complete enclosure frame
Even simple 3D render.
The overall appearance I have every day more and more clear. Here's a little taste
Partly I have only the appearance but also already have confirmed drives and RAM memory by HyperX and it is amazing, really hot products
You can check them here

For today, it's all

UPDATE 2 Finally, I am clear about the appearance of the case!
Even though I do not know the color of ventilators and water, I'll deal with when it comes. So far, I probably like most realistic option seems pastel red water is a mixture of silver and white JetFlow fans from Cooler Master.Final renderings of the entire frame - it will thus painted black.
Anyway, here are a few quick renders the overall look, I chose mostly sharp lines up at the front door. This again is a bent sheet metal and thus "trimmed" front and appearance
At this moment I have finished the frame, two small bugs ..
The last two missing parts of the frame. Front and rear that give cabinet the necessary stability and of course the possibility of mounting the rear discs and sources.
There appeared first mistake. I do not know why but will not burn out groove, perpendicular to these openings, which should be inserted sheets of graphics cards. That is the description
But you know what I mean.
On the front part is nothing special, cut two holes - one for the second window, and for access to the bottom.
Backside. You can see the mounting holes for three 2.5 "drives and PSU.
Full frame, ie up to the guy who stands leaning to the right and even the middle part, where the board. They still have to repair / remodel
This week, perhaps I ought to do to catch even outdoor plates, so I will be able to put an entire case painted and then it will be a little more interesting when it comes to fitting hardware

UPDATE 3 Last week I had of going outdoors finished sheets
Outdoor panels and their installation
The upper part of the "grill" through which hot air is blown from the upper radiator
Sides, this time without the grill, because I want to bring out fully illuminated JetFlow fans. Color, unfortunately, still I do not know
The second sidewall. Here I put the grill so that air from the radiator can at least partially out and did not keep it inside. And also because without him it looked strange
Front panel has sides bent - to be the ancestor really clean and without screws. Overall appearance of the cabinets so smooth and clean.
Detail recessed countersunk holes for M3 screws.
Assembly of individual parts on the frame. Everything fit
Anyone still remembers my cat? This picture says it all .. Cat is everywhere!
Detail of the bend and the connection frame and mounting plate outside.
I am going this week on week off and meanwhile the case itself powder coated
So the first week of July will be another update with painted case and afterwards the assembly of components

UPDATE 4 Outside it is really awful hot so in this evening I finally complete the whole case
The entire frame in all its splendor and finally painted. Everything fits beautifully and so far no problem
Front view. And there will be window too, so it will be nice to see in computer
Rear side, there will be hidden cables, power supply, pumps, etc
Detail painting and you can also see two holes for bulkheads for water cooling.
Not too much on the backside. Only the mounting hole for power supply and three SSDs.
Main part of case, there is space for mounting motherboard and all components.
Space for three HyperX SSD
After mounting the frame I had to only mount the white cover sheets.
Complete assembled case
To these the pictures I probably do not have anything to add, I hope you will enjoy it. It turned out exactly as rendered.
At this point, the project manager came back and had to check everything
The inspection was very strict
Last picture with better lighted interior, which is waiting only for hardware to be there all fitted!
More soon !!
