Thanks a lot to my sponsors:

The case:

I was planning this from very long time but never have time to do it,work bench This is the project made with google sketchup

Not many photos of the work , I was in the rush Job almost complete

And work place ready for modding I also made a shelf and installed better lighting

My missis was very happy,that I'm not going to use the dinner table any more Ok,enough talking lets start modding :dremel:

Case stripped

I can easily fit inside two triple radiators, it makes me very happy

First I will replace the standard case feet with those with wheels

More cutting,drilling and more weight reduced

I'm planning to cover the inside with white acrylic and make a lower chamber. First everything from
cardboard

And what the inside will look very roughly

The HDD cage will be just in front the PSU

Wow that was very long writing That's all for now lads.I will come back soon with more photos,so stay tuned for more

I've never heard of Nanoxia before. Are their cases any good?
Also this is going to be an excellent built as was Project: Blue

great look build this is going to be nice

looks good so far

Thanks Very quality case,a bit heavy but excellent design.

Wow, you not hanging around are you mate? Well if blue is anything to go by, silver should be awesome. I also have never heard of Nanoxia, so curious to see this built.

Out of curiosity, whats the ref? % of sterling silver used?

Patience

It's been a busy week for me at work,so I manage to made some progress today.I start cutting the acrylic.
First sheet

Drilling holes,so the front panel can fit on properly on place

It's time for the second panel

And the final result.

Not bad at all.I still need to fix the supporting bars,cut the the front panel and install the radiator.I'm planning this for tomorrow,so stay tuned for more

 

[rrmitko]

I've made some progress today. The openings for the front radiator are ready

My trusty jewellery motor next to the dremel

Back from the past-Made In GDR.Still working perfectly since 1980

And in action

And the rads in place with some of the hardware

Now it's time for painting.Stay tuned for more.

 

[rrmitko]

you are to good man
its so clean

Wow, that is a really tidy job mate, mm perfect! Looking forward to tomorrow's update ��

Thank you lads!

 

[rrmitko]

Looking good . I must say the reservoir has a "fresh" look to it

it looks mint

Extra mint

 

[rrmitko]

Oh this is looking good mate, will follow this. Enjoy your logs and detailing.

Minty fresh so far!

Should be a good project

Looking good already. This should be a nice one to follow.

Looks good

Thanks for the good words guys!

Another update from today with some photos of the painting job.

Good scrubbing of the rads

Ready for few coats of primer

And job done

I couldn't resist to apply the silver color on one of the parts Looks promising

That's all for now.Very soon there will be more photos

 

[rrmitko]

nice clean build. oh that patience, If I could just have it

It's coming along great, loving the look of the white radiators

Thanks

 

[rrmitko]

Very cool, I'm thinking about something similar (though I suspect not nearly as good ). Can I ask what the silver spray paint you used was?

Thanks Originally I was planning to use the same brand as I used with my project blue MTN 94. But the surface is getting to rough with it.Now I'm trying Simoniz silver paint for wheels The results are really good,the paint is very high quality. I just want to spray, and see how they look on bigger surface so I can decide which one to use further.

 

[rrmitko]

great paint job on the rad soo good

Thanks! This is still not the main color

 

[rrmitko]

Hi everyone,

Another update with photos Until I was waiting the paint to arrive, I decided to make a new front grill for the case.

Starting with piece of acrylic

Cutting the existing front panel,so the new grill can fit

Final adjustments on the front panel

And the grill fits perfectly on place

Still gonna be like door

Existing doors needs to be cut

It's time to do the grill

And the final product

There will be a mesh between the grill and the existing doors and I'm planning to add something in the middle,so stay tuned for more .

 

[rrmitko]

That was done by hand?!?!?!

I take my hat off to you sir.

I can only imagine you have the patience of a saint.

omg i would have used a laser cuter. well done

Thanks

That grille

I'd get to the last bit and break it!

yeah me too

That's why I was filing all day

 

[rrmitko]

Hi guys,
I'm showing some photos of the progress from last two days. I've made silver coil with my previous project blue,this time I decide to go further and to do something more than simple coil.So here we go

I will do EK anticyclone plate from fine silver

Usual tools for my projects

Not really easy to cut,the silver plate is 4 mm thick

But I've done it

Final touches with the files

And the plate is ready

That is all for today.Stay tuned for more

 

[rrmitko]

Wow, can't wait to see more!

Great hand work, I could never do that as others have said, I would break it too!

Oh dude. That grill is some fine work. Good job! Moar!

Woah. That's some seriously nice work going on here. I admire the attention to detail, I can't even pretend I'd be able to do a build like this. Really nice work.

Major skills on display again mate, amazing work! so i'm guessing the .999 silver name refers to the weight in kilogrammes of sterling silver you are planning to use in this build?

Thanks lads! This will be the most expensive case for selling on the end if I'm keep doing parts from fine silver

 

[rrmitko]

Some photos from today's work.I've made a plate for my new front grill

Ready to be cut

Almost there

And the plate finished

And mounted on the grill

 

[rrmitko]

I'm planning to spray the grill in silver.The space behind the letter will remain white for better contrast.That's all for today

 

[rrmitko]

I can't wait to see the finished product
If it's okay to ask, whats the budget for a system like this

I never think for budget,just want to look nice

 

[rrmitko]

I'm guessing it's expensive though

I don't really want to think,I will get headache

Dude you have skillz to die for, the EK plate is immense.

Unreal work so far, moar plz!!!1

Superb as always, love that EK plate. Really great to see some truly amazing skills here on this forum, thanks for brining them to us!

Thanks for the good words lads

 

[rrmitko]

Another update with photos. The water cooling parts painted and ready to go in the case

Stay tuned for more

 

[rrmitko]

Great finish on the paint, well done!

Those parts look great in silver, I especially like the res in silver
Seeing these photos makes it difficult to wait for the next update as I want to see the parts in action

Thanks

So here is another update with photos

First I want to say big thank you to Bitfenix and Sascha Krohn for their support.

I've already made combination of the colors.

I manage to find fine aluminium mesh,so I decide to fabricate my own dust filter.

And my new dust filter painted and on place.Hope, that it will work

So the front of the case is complete, I just need to add some more nuts and bolts ,hopefully they will arrive soon.

That is all for now stay tuned for more
