project: Fractal design get's bigger

[timee]

Hi guys,
today I'll present my new project, Fractal design goes bigger.
The idea is to tune the case, to have more space in it for a water cooling system, to illuminate the stylish hardware and to have fun with the individual designed case.
At the end I hope that it will look like this.

About my person:
I'm a 15 year old German boy (please be tolerant if I make some spelling mistakes), so there will be many pictures and less text.



What I'm going to do:

• edit wood and put it on the top/bottom of the case
  
• buy acryl glass to make a window kit
  
• sleeve my PSU
  
• buy and solder LEDs for the motherboard backlight
  
• buy new hardware
  
  • Asus Crosshair IV Forumla
    
  • AMD Phenom 2
    
  • Corsair Dominator GT
    
  • Radeon HD 58xx
• buy a watercooling system

Special thanks to Aquatuning for their help.




On the following pictures you'll see the things i've already done:

The case with removed HDD bay

The wood for the top/bottom

The arranged side panel

The new front

The new side panel within a window

Sleeved cabels on the midplate with an easter bunny and my Domiantor GT

my very dusty PSU...

...clean and sleeved now

My selfmade soldering base

My mb backlight...

...in a first test

Thats the actually state of affairs.
I hope that I can finish the backlight this week to fit my fans out with LEDs too.
Next week I want to order my hardware and my watercooling components.

I wish you the very best for your project. Looks good so far and your English is quite good by the way.

Update

Good evening together.
This weekend I finished the backlight of the motherboard including a 4pin connector.

I also put reflection foil (is it the right word ) on the mb tray.

Over the week I want to order my hardware to build up the pc next weekend.
But I can assert that it won't be the end.

What LED's are they?

 

[Bully_32]

Looks great, keep up the good work

I used 3mm LEDs with 480Ω resistors.

I used 3mm LEDs with 480Ω resistors.

Ah, thought they were special ones. Look an odd shape.
Looking forward to this coming together.

Good evening together.
As you see in my first post I'll get support to finance my watercooling system by Aquatuning.
But this is not the only thing I've done this evening.
I also have an Idea to build a control terminal to check tempratures.
Now I'll show you first impressions in a plan:

You can see the front, made of wood within 5 temprature sensors. 4 for hardware and one for the water.
Aside there will be a Fillport and an optical flow sensor.
Maybe there will also be a controler to control the fan speed or something like that.
Do you think that it's possebile?

Today I've got new pictures for you

I got a very nice carton

with a even nicer content

It looks beautiful

And I bought a Athlon II to have some OC fun

It's a very small cooler (the big one is of a Phenom II 940)

And some pictures of my desk

This evening I will test whether I got a X3 or X4 CPU and try to get 4GHz.

And I hope next week the CPU is watercooled

The mobo backlight idea is quite clever, keep it up mate !

Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Today I insert my Hardware into my new case to see the effect of the motherboard backlight.
And it looks very cool.
But I had some problems with the Photos.
Ma father took the camera so that I've only the camera of my mobile phone (very poor quality)
I hope the pictures are acceptable

In reality it looks much better
I hope that my water-cooling parts arrive tomorrow (you never know what the german post is doing)
