[TheQuadFather]

im not really a fan about wood projects, so ill keep my eye on thsi one, see if i pick up anything about them that changes my mind

 

[Jolly-Swagman]

Great going so far looking forward to seeing more!

 

[Dooms101]

I am liking the tri-rad mount, is that going up top or bottom?

 

[Grosjambon]

Should be bottom . since i cuted the botttom less larger.

 

[Grosjambon]

Here is How the rad mount. ( I will use 1inche nuts next time. ) but i keep missing some hole and its "?/"?/" me!!!!




EDIT new PIC



I had this Idea when cuting my fan hole... an easy way to remove the motherboard and put it in the computer!!! Omg Im so intellegent! It work Fine Fine Fine had to bigger the hole a little to make it easier to remove/install.

Beautifull hand Nothing assembled together yet.


Installing everything with the OLD mobo... Just to make sure everything is alright.

 

[Grosjambon]

Hiya Guys DiD a lot of thing today, School canceled because of something... here is pic
TOO MUCH SCREW"?&/!"/?"!?/!






Case assembled 1/2




EDIT 2 : made mobo **cable management hole**

I might just sand the purple look to the **plywood** look and paint it black or something like that. because it look really bad like this

 

[ChanceCoats123]

I sees a damn nice case, and I also sees a mountain bike. +1. Keep it up.

 

[Grosjambon]

New Pic! Front side mounted!!!! Next thing is side panel Sanding to make everything perfect and i might smooth the rough edge to make it clean

I Have some idea that came in my mind... Should I Include an acrylic panel... with some fancy design
- Should I do a Cut for an acrylic pannel on top... Roar. its only 15$ an acrylic pannel at home depot ...
Done with speaking here is some pic...



Top done, Fit perfectly still need to screw it in! still in process to think for a window mods.




Still need to sand to make edge perfect.

In the process of testing of staining? the wood with different stain... (used wordreference )

 

[Jolly-Swagman]

coming together quite well, looking great!

You really only need to support/fasten one side of an HD, so why not just take a somewhat oversize piece of wood (thicker than the HD) and bolt that to the HD (with #6-32) and then screw the piece of wood anywhere to the inside of the case. Otherwise, you could fabricate your own cage out of aluminum plate and angle. Here is what I've done:

 

[Wicked Klown]

You could mount them like you did the mobo. Drill two holes in the wood and make the HDD look like it's floating.

 

[Grosjambon]

Thats a Good idea Wicked Klown Going to try this. on my **try out wood**
Thanks for the input.

 

[Grosjambon]

Okay some update... I has been REALLY busy and LAZY this weeek... and havent really did something... but! I did that!
One side is sanded other is not.
Sanded side look more gray...


The other **colors**


Image of both


I personaly like both... maybe the dark brownish one look more **nice for me** but the light one look nice also! what do u prefer!

 

[Ben333]

The number of screws for attaching the panels is just silly. No point at all in using that many. The cuts seem rough too, not flat/straight and such, maybe its just the pics though. Anyway, I like the custom approach. Keep up the good work!

 

[Grosjambon]

I know... but it can't hurt lol

 

[Ben333]

Oh... it'll hurt Soon as you need to take a panel off and find that your screw gun won't fit in or the battery is dead lol.

That seem really nice to do but seem to complicated and seem to take a LOT of patience which i am not really good at I might try it on a retail wood piece to see if I can do it good

Hehe +_+ That why i made an easy removable mobo tray as for HDD thing... im still in the process of making something... busy life...
For the battery. I have a screw gun that u plug in the electricity plug? so it never run out of juice
