Project Reversed Gaming Build (Scratchbuild) by JejeLaPelle


Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Thanks a lot for your comments guys :)

 

This week was very intensive, i'll show you some of the things i've done!

 

First, i put the Lightning Node and the Fan led controller on a plate. This will be placed in the space for cable management :

I also fixed the reservoir to the main case panel :

You can see the little aluminium plate beetween the two part of the res, this will be to align.

 

You can see the purge valve (hole will be done under the valve to allow purging without moving it), and also the rad, with new M4 threads, small aluminium plate with black aluminium covering beetween fans.

And maybe also... the feet of the case (BTW there will be another aluminium plate under...)

 

In the back there is a kind of ... something... which look a bit like that, but less bended :

I will fix the RGB leds strips on those things, and the blocks with the hole will allow me to put them on spacer.

 

Last thing, i worked on the I/O panel.

I made an acrylic part, with holes for USB and On/Off

Add a bit more of aluminium :

And i tried how it will look with RGB lightning :

Quite happy!

 

Next week, i will do my last acrylic piece, do more holes, more sanding, some 3d printing (the seals mainly) and sleeve (got fan to sleeve, and pump).

 

See you, thanks for reading!

Hello,

 

Thanks Zotty :)

 

Another good week, i moved forward more than i was expected!

 

I did my last piece of acrylic for the top, the back panel, and i'm currently working on the last part : the side panel.

 

I also sleeved pumps and fans, but here is the result of my work :

Back side now, the open space in the PSU box, where you can see cables, will be closed, it's just far easier to cable management like that!

Few words on the side panel i'm doing. It will be made of three parts, two aluminium, one acrylic. one aluminium for the bottom, bended, the other one to hide the rad and some of the screws. The remaning place will be covered by acrylic.

 

To fix the differents plates, i've done some spacers with a lathe :

Next week, i finish few things, try to print seals, and i'll be close to bend some tubes!

 

Hope you liked, thanks for reading!

Hello,

 

On another forum, someone told me i do not show you the 3D printed seals (in filaflex) so here it is :

 

MGCsCtTl.jpg

 

it looks a bit white, and it is really like that, but once it is in position and compressed, it's near to be transparent!

 

So i'm testing all the acrylic part, looking for leaks...

 

Here is my reservoir, without leak! (i only have one little leak, i have to wait a bit to retest, it should be OK)

So it seems that early next week, i will be able to begin tubbing!

 

Bye!

Hello,

 

Here is the pictures of the tubbing, done, but i'll change a lot of them, i'm not happy with the result, most of the tubes have small imperfections.

I've also modified one of the 1080ti Strix to put it just above the motherboard I/O panel (in exhaust) :

Just one of the led strip is placed (the front one), the other need to be glue.

I'm really happy with the lightning of Strix! This is something easy to do, and it's really nice looking!

 

No leak (well... a really small one... but i will tight a bit more the screw and it will be fine)

 

Sorry for the bad pictures, was too excited!!

Hello!

 

Sanding and painting done!

 

But first, i add a little hole on the back panel :

 

VCzSWzZl.jpg

 

Now, I'm building the case again, but this time with all lightning, and with good cable management.

You can see the case color better on this one :

Nah, i'm kidding, you'll see that later!

 

For cable management i'll use tie and those things :

During this week i printed guide for bending tubes :

 

45WkuBcl.jpg

 

But it is not working well, i need to change a bit the design.

 

After that, i did new logo batch :

You can see Primochill logo, maybe maybe... (And yes there is Asus, even if they don't answer me YET...)

The case will be fully build this week, i'll need coolant to continue. But we are close to the end!

I will have to take better pictures soon, with differents kind of lightning.

 

But the system work really fine, got nice temps (35°C GPU under load, 50°C CPU under load, idle it's 24°C for GPU and 26°C for CPU) with no noise (pumps and fans around 30%), and it gives 60fps in 4K ultra settings in BF1.

Hello everyone!

 

Here is the post with the finals picts, but first, i'll show you some little things!

 

First, those two printed plates :

 

X150fWml.jpg

 

GdbkyZ5l.jpg

 

I thought putting it under the mother board. But it will be too much...

 

Then, the back of the mod :

 

aVnhaFzl.jpg

 

f1zLbYJl.jpg

 

9M6ZbHOl.jpg

 

One of the panel is not screwed one the photo. It is now!

I add to the SSD a plate with covering and a 3d printed logo of Corsair.

 

Now, what you are looking for i think :

 

Unicorn one :

 

Se9Pvoyl.jpg

 

Red one :

 

lPrrMDHl.jpg

 

Blue one :

 

0Wrhkfyl.jpg

 

White one :

 

Utg0Eqfl.jpg

 

Pink one :

 

pJ0or1dl.jpg

 

Purple/yellow :

 

kls5pGVl.jpg

 

Christmas one :

 

cbqSo13l.jpg

 

IZZQoZyl.jpg

 

(AT-AT is because i'm going to watch Star Wars in 2 hours!)

 

And the final one is my choice for everyday, blue/orange :

And the reservoir, without and with lightning :

The lightning effect here is not as expected, the channel acrylic plates are way better for lightning effects.

 

And now off :

I hope you liked it.

 

The workblog will be finished soon, after a big update of the first post. I should do it before the next two weeks.

 

Bye!
