Project: Watery

Yep, taking your time and doing it all beautifully is obviously your thing, so don't let us spoil it by rushing you, but I do want to see this when it's finished. Kudos!
 
It should be September/October. I havn't got acess to the laser until then, and I'll need to re-do the panels. As long as I get the hardware and PSU sorted, the final put together shouldn't be too hard at all :D
 
Nothing really done today, bar a little problem.

I first fitted the Coolermaster 700W PSU, Its about 10mm shorter than the original test PSU I was using. I know I have to add in the length of the modual connections, but as I will only be using one of the Molex/S-ATA power ports, and one of the PCI-E power ports, it won't be a big problem.

It fits in at the back too which is nice.

Here is where the problem starts. When I started designing this mod, I didn't intend to use an Aquaero, but now I do and thats one of the reasons for ze box. I didn't factor that in when designing mark two of the res.

Ooops. (those scratches are on the outer cover film, so all is well)

Well, I'm not desinging that res all over again :p. Soo, I'm thinking that I'll dremel out part of the back of the box, and then add an Acrylic Danger Den 90* bend to take it back towards the PSU. Its a little ennoying I know, but I promise it'll look good.

Or. I could just do away with the box on its own, and have the Aquaero 'floating' or the front panel.

It did strike me as odd when you first mentioned boxing things away. Why go to all the trouble of having a clear acrylic case and then hide parts from view like your unwanted ugly ginger kid in the attic?

PK!
 
Nah, sorry. I've been working in my everyday case...

I'll be doing bits and bobs this summer, and then BANG! Mega updates in September.
 
Next thing will be either sorting out the horribly long PSU cables, or if I can get the program in time, a full CAD design of the case with a full AA, Shadowed render..

I hope.
