Project - Not to everyone's taste - WIP Pic heavy

[The__Malteser]

Looking great! I always wanted to do a small modding job, but never got hold of enough parts

Loving that purple part on the side!

 

[HAz]

good work, nice to see some real projects on this forum for once.

@all thanks for the comments !

mini update, sorry for the delay, we had some trouble with side panel fitting, which meant breaking it back down again.

Picture doesn't show it to well but the bottom corner was not fitting at all

Connor spotted a small error and corrected it

Now to get the window attached

woohoo Im in this picture

Marking a template for the mesh

Didn't quite fit, attempt two ( dad fix it please!)

80mm fan and mesh receive a coat of paint

Rebuild

The side panel + Fan + mesh looking good , The fan was clear and now looks like its floating
ideally some white trim around the cut would look nice, Connors likes it this way though and it's his call.

Connors also been tweaking the front panel , he wants to mesh all the 5 1/2 bays

Thats it for now still a few things on the to do list as mentioned earlier.

looking good
i suggest getting some cable ties and itll be a great first rig.
remembering my first attempt of a rig didn't quite go this well lol

 

[dirtychinchilla]

Once again Connor, great job. Your attention to detail is superb; I wish I was as good at this as you are! I look forward to you doing something more adventurous to see what you can come up with.

Good job, looking good!

Will get that cooler out to you asap, its all boxed up ready to go, forgetting its easter weekend and the PO was shut

If it would help I'm pretty sure I have some spare 5.25" mesh bay covers with dust filters attached?

 

[sehcure]

Just read through the whole thread; very impressed with everyone! (Connor, community, and of course dad!)

 

[glent]

@all thanks again I'm sure Connor will have another huge smile on his face today after reading the comments.

@pgi947 ,No rush mate just when you have time, as for the covers sounds perfect mate. We will play some mesh today/tomorrow and I'll report back the progress though.

Connors already planned his next build, it's for his chosen charity Narcolepsy Uk. I'll get a thread with all the details up later. Essentially where looking to do a sponsored build, raffle it off. It's in its early stages we have might have one company onboard and are in discussion elsewhere

 

[Lukewhitworth]

This has made my day, not only does this thread show how great the people on the forums are, it is also teaching a youngster skills that many people 2-3x his age wouldn't be able to do!

 

[paradigm]

Fantastic, way to go Connor!

Are the vinyls on yet? And do you want anything designed by Connor?

 

[pgi947]

NP Glent, will take a few pics of the covers later today, taken from an old NZXT Gamma thats sitting collecting dust.

 

[arekgreenman888]

wow dude, you got really creative with case design, colors and that fan. Well done! blesses

 

[Ucof]

2 things:
1) Being a young dad is hard. I am one too. Respect to you Sir.
2) Orange hoodies are awesome.

[TheYoungster]

[T345]

I'm glad i'm not the only one who's 12 and always messes around with computers!

 

[Mawat]

Wow this is looking great guys. You've really gone overboard, but in a good way and that pc is starting to look very smart

Great stuffs

 

[Hostile-17]

looking great! can't wait to see the finished rig.

 

[scrlk]

I'm glad i'm not the only one who's 12 and always messes around with computers!

Pfft, I was browsing OcUK at 8 years in 2005.

That was in the days of AMD being supreme, oh how times have changed since then.

@ZZZAC Thank mate, Cable management done now , looking better.

@dirtychinchilla Thanks , something huge coming soon, expect to be blow away

@sehcure we couldn’t have ended with this result without the community!

@Lukewhitworth Thanks for the kinds words, Connor does, Me and his mum agree teaching him young is great ideas, Hes bursting with ideas why not express them

@paradigm They are sorry for the delay, didn’t want them to knocked etc, He's happy with the one on their but I might be shooting you an email for the next project, if that's OK.

@arekgreenman888 . The colours really make this project what it is , he has ideas I couldn't dream of .

@Ucof Thanks for that, challenging no doubt for parent any age. We just see the positives, we can relate to our kids about modern things and orange are hoodies are awesome

@TheYoungster heh thanks anyway, new project upcoming wink , wink

@Warecast good for you mate

@Mawat Cheers totally agree.

@Hostile-17 Ta, Almost their

@Vinni3 @H|H lol good old days huh.

Apologies for the delay, Things have been a little tough and busy at home, Unpleasant virus and other issues. Anyways back to the build mostly just a tidy up today.


We've misplaced one key piece to finish it
it was a smaller bezel/cover that was intended to hold the front mesh in place. It's really all we needed to finish for today. We'll find it am sure.

Pureple SATA cables

Not realy anywhere to hide the cables in this build

Looking better

Vinyl ON! you can see at the bottom of the image, is the area which we have misplaced the the bezel

Ready to game!

Final to do list, Find the missing bezel!

Thanks to all!

Done



But watch this space, Connor will back very very soon
