BaxterTheFly Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Shakmods, nice company, nicer people :) http://i61.tinypic.com/zvwjg8.jpg I recieved reply from Shakmods and they decided to make me custom cables for my V1000 Thank you guys, it is more than just sending components, it takes time and effort to make sleeved cables and i understand how much hours they will work on these... Thanks again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Here is an update, i didnt have conditions for more pictures, and i allreay had similar photos of steel casing, this is aluminum. I did few things that i didnt take a picture of, Rails were attached directly to the wood frame but now i added distancers and it slides allot better, Frame rails dont strech the frame anymore but totally oposite, they retract it now, making it more sturdy. Also the rail on wooden frame had its "toungue reduced so it can slide more to the end of the case, some screws got in the way and they are not an option for removal... I did the hood from the top, it is now out of 3 pieces, no longer the "bend around" method, and i made a hole and attached the 2nd PSU fan grill on the side. Also i did back mesh for the future grill on the front side of the case. Again, this is the way that PSU will go, but i will put some distancers so i can raise the platform a bit and it will allow me to make it 1-2cm wider. http://i61.tinypic.com/9vh20j.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2r4h2eu.jpg Again the case half way out, it is a bit bigger than last one but it was so i can increase area where the HDD's are going, i needed height so i can manipulate better. :) http://i60.tinypic.com/51rb7r.jpg Rims to fill the empty space between the inner and outher case, , i will fix them when i finish inner case totaly and i have exact dimensions... http://i60.tinypic.com/2a9v0nc.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/nqogll.jpg I hope you guys like the progress so far and that you understand that English isnt my native language and that i am self taught so, point me on any mistake i might have made. :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Fans fit perfectly :) Love how the distance between them isnt regular, its possible to squeeze them tight together and i am really good with that :D this is the top one, the one that will blow directly to graphic cards and cool them aditionally hehe http://i61.tinypic.com/2z5swf8.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/2dt3pu9.jpg Isn't it a beauty to see them like this, i will lower them to go at around 700rpm, i wont need them to go any more because i will make a sandwitch out of 2 radiators and the middle ones will go at 1200 rpm just to cycle the air between 2 of them :) It got a bit late and i couldn't take all the pictures i wanted, a bit tired... Also, i made my 6th and final rooftop XD And i bough some Vengeance RAM and RAM cooler :) could have used dominator but ah well :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I finished the sides made of acrylic... the entire case is a bit rough, there is some things i have to finish, i got rims that will go instead of duckt tape :) but for now its like this... http://i61.tinypic.com/2cib50m.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/15yhftd.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/281u1cn.jpg I admit, today its ugly as hell but with rims finished it will look much smoother :D and all.. its really robust, but i like it that way, it will be a piece of furniture in my room :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there is a question regarding these two pictures below http://i60.tinypic.com/11w8vbq.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/1oakps.jpg Should i make mud protector on the 2nd pic, or should i leave it like it is on the 1st?

BaxterTheFly Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 here is an update after a big long while I fixed the doors so they can open correctly now and i had to make them open up top because of clearance issues :/ This is first layer of acrylic filler http://i57.tinypic.com/2s7ffw5.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2ryllyf.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/j0d26h.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/a9lffs.jpg This is 2nd, and there might be a tird to fill the smallest holes :) http://i58.tinypic.com/mt9kj9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've got some stuff inside of the case just to check how everything fits and looks in the cabin :D http://i57.tinypic.com/s183sy.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/iygdnm.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/10ejuqh.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/2r2lwty.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2wh1g6u.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/5uog2w.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/izwyhk.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/sgqp3s.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/dff0h5.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/sxbuvo.jpg I hope you like the overall look inside the cabin :) its a bit tight but I like it like that :) only main ssd's will be inside the cabin, hard drives will go under the entire thing, and under that, radiators, pumps etc :D Its nearing the end and the start of painting :) i cant show you enough how that makes me feel :D Also a small adition to everything :) i fixed my speakers that i will be using and i will be also replacing the monitor with 40" 4k display :D http://i59.tinypic.com/2i7747t.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 A few more days left, I will finish the mod before August :D As i didnt want to post pictures that make no sence, posting pictures where only i could see the difference, i waited a bit and once i had done things i deem'd made a change, i made a little walktrough around what i have done and around the case... The video is a bit on the longer side, and i got a bit confused with terminology i would be thrilled if you'd watch it :) [ame] [/ame] I will grab some batteries for my camera and that is one of the reasons i used camcorder now, and i will take some nice closeups tomorrow, also i will most likely put primer on the drawer piece :) Also, question for moderators... What kind of an imrovement would be if i chose Dominator vs Vengance, but i wouldnt get it OC'd much as i'd love lower latency > higher clock...

BaxterTheFly Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Here is one long overdue update.. bodywork is taking much longer than i anticipated I ended up saving me the trouble with doors that open like this.. so the original idea --- to the water http://i57.tinypic.com/20ztlwj.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/6i8i0y.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/2qjj0x4.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2q1fjic.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/dghx6t.jpg Made my life allot easier when it came to cooling :D fans can now be securely mounted to the side pannel XD http://i58.tinypic.com/f43d68.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/5dv7gw.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/2uoh2dg.jpg Also, now everything seems to fit perfectly >.> http://i60.tinypic.com/15ygf1x.jpg And some finishing bodywork, tiny air bubbles gave me allot of problems after sanding... http://i62.tinypic.com/ae651f.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/96mdjm.jpg In the end it was worth it... Just perfect :D http://i62.tinypic.com/2nnk75.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/30k3ibk.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/2e1ta1u.jpg Also, one more idea that took me, Idiot, almost entire day and it was complete bust! http://i60.tinypic.com/2euk5r8.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/103fmnm.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/zv6j9g.jpg Also, i figured that if i paint over the dry body kit, it will give it a bit of strength so i ended up doing that and it made my life easier, I paint it when i am done, and than, when i am back from work tomorrow its nice and solid, doing this saved me from allot of scratches :D http://i58.tinypic.com/111otg5.jpg The back fan mounted ( the one that cools the back of the socket ), i must add that when i did measurements for the cuts, i wanted to make it octagonal, i kind of dig the lines.. i think i will pinstripe them on it... Also the fan is mounted to the plate, that is than mounted to the case... http://i62.tinypic.com/1248u1k.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/1zb5ssm.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/2hrz4vp.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/10nu9eo.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/14n1xuc.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/20frlvc.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/317fyn4.jpg Checking if the cables fit the hole i made, it will be awesome when i put the sleeved cables there with cable combs there :D http://i57.tinypic.com/2yya5bd.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/2mwwn5j.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/53mw01.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/ano30z.jpg There, I hope you guys like the progress i made, i will take liberty to say that it the case as a case should be done in a week, and the water cooling components and components should be fixed inside few weeks after that total...

BaxterTheFly Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hello guys and really sorry for not updating, i have had some massive lack of time so i didn't get to do anything that i wanted. This is a little tease and i promise i will post full update log once i get time to work on it ;) . Also, tomorrow is the day i fire this thing in its cage as i have been running the system hihihi. So here it is for now: http://i65.tinypic.com/2957lhk.jpg Brm brm brrrrrrmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxterTheFly Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 So i have been doing what seems to be the biggest problem... how to make roof and still look sharp :) i think this will be ok, and not make the roof stand off too much, the roof consists out of board and a U profile, the sides will go on the inside of a U profile, and also it will house a led strip that will illuminate interior, now, should i put yellow or red that is still something to decide. http://s20.postimg.org/9iwwecp2l/Dozer7.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/v41z1ylt9/Dozer8.jpg This is another problem i have had. The waterblock came w/o a backplate, and i love backplates, keeps the board from bending and gives it stiffness, so i drilled the holes in my existing backplate to widen the screw holes that were there so the screws for my waterblock could go trough. it works, now i will need to reinstall it :) http://s20.postimg.org/8uo1veqct/Dozer9.jpg till the next time, feel free to comment, good/bad, its all cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dry fitting the pipes to the current look, there will be another pipe that will go on the other side of the 24 pin that will go from GPU to res, but will go under than it will come back up, to res :) http://s20.postimg.org/3v1612eb1/Dozer10.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/6dmv1r019/Dozer11.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/yqnepbs31/Dozer12.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/u618ae8dp/Dozer13.jpg I hope you like the progress so far, as i was unable to work on it for good few months due to some problems i have had :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxterTheFly Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 So, i bet this is the thing you didnt expect to see :) I switched to below tubing to soft tubing in order to have a little more flexibility and room for working, also i made it so that the top part is able to tip over so i can clean, manage cables, etc etc.. This is the last big change in the overall mod and it will go under water tomorrow after some details and immense cleaning, dusting, alcohol bath and all :) Here are some pictures, i really hope you will enjoy them :) http://s20.postimg.org/fn10z4tt9/Dozer14.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/hwp59w2r1/Dozer15.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/4pzpad71p/Dozer16.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/hvf7gh0x9/Dozer17.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/ntt0qpjvx/Dozer18.jpg http://s20.postimg.org/an3kr6o6l/Dozer19.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
