That is just plain astounding. I'm seriously in awe here.
I have 2 questions:

1) What size tubing is that? Not sure if you said already, but i'm liking the look of it.

2) Don't you need to worry about your caps and mosfets and resistors and such getting too hot, or is there airflow underneath there somehow? I'd really like to do something like this, but I don't know a think about it. :(

If Im not mistaken thats 1/2 id tubing thats thick walled. Probably close to 3/4 od.

Very cool man. very very cool.

Defyant · 6th March 2006, 16:35

TY all very much again guys :) the mod's almost done as of tongiht....3am :(

I'll get to posting.

More chop & shine!

Every one of these flames have to be hand chopped and hand buffed! it was @ about this stage i was thinking that maybe i should have stuck with a 2pak paint job!

The Vent panel was done using a block! this will sand qiker and flatter.

It was @ this stage i was thinking "2pak" aint all that! :P

With the chop and shine session now over! i can start hanging these panels on the case :)

First panel to go on will of course be the base! SS hex heads replace the orig crap plastick bolts.

With the base one next is to wire and bolt in the front fan assembly

Defyant · 6th March 2006, 16:36

Mesh grills are added to the side vents

and the front panel is test fitted.

Next on the agenda is to fit the Matix orbital LCD HDD and cdrom

Now that the rest of the hardware is installed the front panel can be heated shaped cut and fitted.

A simple solution for the CDROM is the same as used on HP1

Something i wanted to do to the last HP's but couldn't due to the external RADS was install the "backpanel"

This is such a cool looking addition to the over all complete look of the case.

Just for the sake of being "quirky" i glued back on the original sticker :)

The rest of the wires are covered and connected.

The light wire for the NOS res is now routed from the back of the case

the marks for the Side vents are added and the vents are stuck into place

For the SIDE flame window i brought 2 peices of plex! Dark and light tint.

for now i will go with the lighter of the 2 windows

Defyant · 6th March 2006, 16:37

All thats left is to hang the white sheet and shoot up some fancy money shots :)

The case unpowered....

With some power added :)

CDROM

Base Flames

Defyant · 6th March 2006, 16:39

Side Vents

Night shots

Window Flames

final'e

Still got a few things to do! the front fan does not have active lighting , this will be swapped over thru the week. I'd also like to possible @ some stage add some of the blue plex fames to the outside ofthe case.

This is simply amazing...

You pulled off the cleanest water-cooled rig I've ever seen... it just looks so friggin' simple and logical after all of your hard work.

Will you come to my house and finish my mod for me?
