Project [~Dark Energy~]

Ok more random stuff, quite disorganised but hey I'm lazy..



The mounting bracket for the swiftech double rad, made from 1.2mm alu scored and bent using this...



Yep a vice and some wood, high-tech right? I used a another bit of wood and a hammer to get the bend fairly accurate.



Here's the one for the thermochill mounted to the rad with M4 hex head screws, I had to drill the fan mounting holes a bit bigger on the rad for them, scary stuff I nearly punctured the rad a couple of times!



This is the black-translucent acrylic for the top of the divider plate in the case, It's being cut by a jigsaw I have flipped and mounted on some plywood. It's handy because you have more control over the acrylic, good for smaller stuff.



These are the blade I used for acrylic cutting - specifically for acrylic, metal blades can be too fine and melt the stuff and have offset teeth which can chip the acryl.



The trusty Black and Decker jigsaw, it even has Turbo!



The rear UV blue acryl panel/fan grill thingy cut and marked for holesawing.



Done and sanded.. It took a lot of polishing to get it shiny again.



Here's the baycover without the black alu paneling, bending was done by clamping down the acryl and heating it with a heat gun in a specific line. I used a piece of wood to block the heat going to the rest of the piece.



The front panel prior to tint filming it.




This was when It was pretty much finished, you can see the rad mounted to the bottom of the case (Again with M4 hex heads) and one D5 over it, the other is next to it. The D5's are actually bolted to the front of the case with gel-stuff between it, I'll try find a proper pick of it..
I now have a couple of HD's mounted in that space above the rad in front of the psu, on rubber bands in an acrylic cage thing.



The "Workshop" aka my dirty, untidy and cluttered garage.

Finally until I take a few fully finished pics here's a sexy one, don't you just love EK stuff?
