The design of this project aims to create a case simple and attractive.
This project will feature several mods such as the front, the interior, the inverted ATX motherboard, top, among others.

The box will be focused for watercolling was not she one TJ07.

The design of the new motherboard backplate (paint rules ehehe)
The idea was to create a backplate more simple (without those horrible air vents) but I didn't wanted to make a case without any airflow, so this design came up!

Starting the new backplate:

I don't like to see this Fan's in the backplate, but as I mentioned earlier I don't want the case without any airflow. So after seeing another project this idea came up.

Very impressive for a set of hand tools. Much respect sir.
Thanks Blaylock, we have to work with whatever we have.:clap:

Hi guys, today im bringing you some work on the midplate and our side window.

So, on the midplate i had to cut some inches on the corners to make it fit on perfection.
Looks great, right?
DSC_9111.jpg


Here what i had to do was checking the right place to assemble the new rail. :)
DSC_9114.jpg


Here's the result with the rails and motherboard tray, as you can see the midplate is at the edge of the fun holes from the back.
Perfect!:cool:

This baby is getting naughty. :D

DSC_9122.jpg


Ok, so, here we have our side window ready to cut.
As you can see i did a second line to a purpose, which you can see in the next images. :rolleyes:
DSC_9127.jpg


So finally we have it cutted, but it's not completly finished yet.
Still have some sanding work to do, to put it perfect.
DSC_9128.jpg


Ok, now im showing you the purpose i was talking about this baby. :D
As you can see the midplate is also on the edge with the window, looks marvelous right?

I like the ascetics you got going with the fans but I do have a concern about it. Don't the fan blades need the outer casing to keep the air from going around the end of the blades? My concern for you is an increase in noise and a decrease in CFM.

It's a testing design to me too. But until now what I could test, the noise it's the same. The CFM are not the same (but I was expecting that) the fan doesn't have the original tunnel design but so far I'm pretty satisfied with the result. The CFM decrease but very litle. And this fan's are not supose to have a maximum perfomance, it's just to give some airflow to the case. :thup:

After some time, the side panel is sanded and ready for the paint job.

Unfortunately I don't have the tools to make what I want in the side window, so I had appeal to a store. Here is the result.
DSC_9138.jpg



Testing the side panel to see if it fit's properly. More translucent is impossible! Without the light reflection is almost impossible to see it :)

The mold to the new interior.

Preparing the acrilic panel to be cutted.
DSC_9149.jpg



It fit's like a glove ehehe. :p
DSC_9156.jpg



When we don't have the tools we must improvise.
DSC_9159.jpg



It's almost perfect, just need some adjustments!

Keep the comments coming ehehe
 
Have you thought about building a new shroud out of some aluminum tube or bending a sheet for the fans?
That way you get the better looks, but also get to keep (and maybe enhance) the CFM of the fans.
 
i like where this is going!
Thanks for the support. Hope you like the new surprises im bringing today and the future ones.

Also made 1 back rail for 240 radiator.
Just a short note if you don't want to use radiators on this rails you can use the fans they will fit also.
Also cutted the rails in the radiator form to improove the performance of the fans, so they dont get obstructed to send the air out.

Now im showing you a very cheap home made kit which cross my mind to draw with a dremel.

DSC_9215.jpg

DSC_9214.jpg


To adjust at the size you need you have a couple of options, using screws or just adding more fans on the first one, and you are ready to go.

So let's make use of the new tool we have and make our awesome front panel we've been delaying for the final things to do.

Starting with a hand draw.

It's a lot of work and it makes it so much worth it in the end after the final result in the next phases to come.
