Project : LV-426 an Alien inspired build ( a Jonsbo MOD5 build )

[Brizzles]

Been a while, and probably the last update as i think its finished.

I said earlier i had an idea for the cable spaghetti hanging out the back of the case, so here it is.....................................

It a cable 'spine' you use on adjustable tables ( raise/lower ) to route cables.

Whilst not a perfect fit, it does exactly what i wanted and keeps the futuristic and Xenomorphish ( as some have commented ) theme.

If i get the energy, i might take it outside for some final pictures, but thanks for your support along the way - it was all greatly appreciated and kept me going.

This is lovely. It is the opposite of my normal taste (tiny SFF), but you have executed on your vision so well. The rear cabling in particular is exquisite. Great job!

 

[Dave2150]

This looks fantastic. Really good job!

Love it

Looks like it could move outside by itself and the cable management at the back gives a great look.

@Brizzles does the symbols on th side of the case and glass mean anything?

With that cable routing, it reminded me of the borg queen after most of her is dissolved.

@Brizzles does the symbols on th side of the case and glass mean anything?

Nope

They are all derived from 2 words i had printed for me MOD5 ( the case ) and BRIZZLES ( my forum name ) and i hand trimmed the letters to look kinda random ( it is actually a real font called HEIKO ).

The one on the side of the case ( below the PSU ) does still say MOD5.

Lovong this work. Looks absolutely spot on!

 

[Akagi]

Another update.

They grey vinyl was ok, but it lacked a little 'something'. So i decided to go a little darker and more 'Aliens' with the theme.

Weapon of choice in the vinyl selection is this - Black Diamond ;

From here on in , my photos won't do this stuff justice, its amazing stuff.

( normal daytime/room lighting )

( with a torch shining on it )

With no direct light, its flat matte black - it literally absorbs light and gives no reflection as its textured. All the decals i've used are matte black and you can see how much they shine compared to this vinyl. It all makes for a very 'stealthy' looking effect where you really have to look for the lettering and markings and adds a little mystery to it.

I've updated the mini-display, to an Alien theme, anyone familiar will recognise the Motion Tracker ( Sadly the alien dots wont move due to software limitations, but all the numeric values are live ( Red is fan speed F.E.M.S and CX are power usages ).

Some Weyland Yutani decals on side

And the name of the build LV-426 on the front side.( Alien fans will get the reference )

A few shots in different light ( limited by my phone camera in poor light - so use your imagination a little )

Thanks all.

I thought you were talking about listening to KISS as your missing soundtrack

Love that sparkly wrap.

Get away from her, you bitch!

Get away from her, you bitch!

The blue neon lighting mostly comes on at night. Mostly.

Amazing build

Oh wow, just stumbled on this thread, what an awesome build.

In a way it's a shame the back isn't in view more as I absolutely love the industrial look of that, so cool.

You've really gone to town there.
