PROJECT LOG ROG Maister

L4mka · Mar 9, 2014

Hi, I'm here with my next project.

After finish CM SupreDesk (www.cmdesk.eu) I decided to make my own case from the scratch.
I took a lot of inspiration around case modding forums and make drawings and plans for my case.
Case will be mainly from steel and few parts of plexi.
Everything I drew in SketchUp and render

Looks neat. Are all of the loops connected in the back of the case I assume?

It looks like there is room for one 5.25" drive?
Where are you planning on adding the 2.5/3.5" drives?

What kind/thickness is the metal you are working with?

L4mka · Mar 12, 2014

Yes loops will be connected on back side.

No room for 5.25" - I am using dvd/cd infrequently.

2.5 SSD will be on back side. 3.5 will be down space.

It is a steel. Combined 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm

UPDATE 1

UPDATE 1

So at the start of project I bought steel profiles and welded them to the main frame.

After that I drew first parts and laser-cutted them

And welded them into main frame

Then I cutted other profiles and placed them into. These profiles will be beams for the next sheet steel.

After all welding I sanded welds with a grinder.

Steel? Going to be one heavy system! Better get some wheels on that bad boy lol. Looks good though so far.

kyij · Mar 14, 2014

I did see that your getting the case laser cut, is that being done by one of your sponsors or is there a local shop? And do you know the cost of so? As I have always wanted to do something like such.

UPDATE 3

So for the next I did some work on mid-plate which will hold mainboard and other things like reservior combo and SSD

The I/O bracket from old Cooler Master case.

Testing the fit with old MB.

Drew and printed the mainboard holes layout for 100% precision.

Drilled holes

And make threads for the spacers.

MB fits very good

And the mid plate in the main frame

Back side

Silver_Pharaoh · Mar 25, 2014

Lookin good! :thup:

TransformedBG · Mar 25, 2014

Liking this!

UPDATE 4

So I drew and lasercutted last parts for case.

The side panel. Will be with the plexi.

I asked my good friend who has access to CNC if he could mill special plexi for me - no problem

Milling the edges.

Detailed view on the edge of plexi.

I also lasercutted and bend the front panel with ROG logo - because of ROG Maister name of this project and because I very like this logo. :thumb:

Bought some plexi to do special effect with ROG logo. Some led strips and plexi will do awesome effect.

Effect of "hearbeating/breathing" you can see in this video

Silver_Pharaoh · Apr 3, 2014

This is awesome!!!

That ROG logo looks perfect on the case!

Very nicely done! :clap:
