The POWER CELL [Scratch Build]
- Thread starter Zenator
- Start date
Hello again,
Over the last day or so I have been putting the outside loop and blocks together,
I glued then from the inside & out.
And there are no leeks from any of the tubing, Happy days.
Leek testing, and this one had one. I filled then all up with water. added a plug to one end, added some air pressure to the other end to make sure they will work.
I modded the SSD as well I know its been done before but it still looks cool. and I have never tried it before so I just had to give it a go,
The PCB had to be flipped over for the ram to be seen. and I put some 1mm clear behind the window.
Thanks again for stopping by.

awesome keep going!
Hello again,
Progress has been slow but I have fitting the rads a fans, GPU, Mobo, PSU, and are now there to stay. I have added the same shapes to the inside of the pillars that can be seen on the outside but the ones on the inside will glow white when lit with black light. and the white of the pillars wont.
Have to get more soft tube as well don't have enough to the bottom of the loop. Going to start the inside loop over the next week. And I'm still painting the case as I go.
In this photo on the right you will see the clear cover that will be going over the 3x3 loops that will be running up and down the outside of the case. A the ASUS logo that has been sprayed on all 3 sides.
Here is a front shot of the clear cover.
Here you can see the tiles that will glow white under black light this is done on the inside of all 3 pillars and the bottom.
GPU is now all done PCI-e extender or riser is now fitted as well.
Here I have made a cover to hide the PCI-e extender.
I run the HDMI and Display feed out the back of the case, And can still removed, but for now will be staying for testing later.
Not a lot of work space here and the nest inside will need some work.
SSD is now fitted as well.
I will keep the updates coming as the painting starts to change the look. Most of the painting I have left will be done with the airbrush. and paintbrush.
Once again that's all for now, Thanks again for stopping by.
Cheers, Ken.

The weathering is sick. This has a very Star Wars feel to it, like it could be installed in the back of a Y-Wing or something.

Heavens, it looks like the Mr. Coffee machine had sex with a snoopy snow cone maker and gave birth to this thing. Argh.
Some better pic's this time. The camera on my phone makes things look to have too much colour. The pic's below are true to the look of the case.
Hope you all like.
Thanks again for stopping by. will post finale photos as soon as I can.
Cheers Ken.

Absolutely sick looking. And I must say, i called it!
http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1042073293&postcount=55
That said, it a gorgeous look, and again, the weathering is perfect. Makes it look high tech but well used.The green is an interesting choice for the coolant. Some of the other lightsaber colors might look good as well, particularly a Mace-Windu purple.
How are you feeling about upgradeability, or is this an as-is build?

Thanks Modred189 Yes you did call it. 
Yes its very upgradeable. I would Like to to change the 960 to a 980ti later and water cool it, Plus change the MoBo to a ROG. Most the the case in interchangeable. so it would not take much work.
As for coolant color, I thinking of trying some other colors. And yes Mace-Windu purple would work better then the green. I might just try that one. maybe even a red.
Cheers Ken.
