Project: PrometheusCu

Does this help?

lol, loose the "e" on attach

cool. now i get it.

What is the purpose of the pressure release tops?

To vent air pressure in the case of corrosion - not that I expect any corrosion, but it helps to be prepared.

it's a shame you won't be able to see the custom engraved gpu blocks. i was always disappointed that the art on video card covers was never even visible in a standard mobo mounted vertically.

@MurderCityDevil - Remember this?





Here in the early hours of the morning I came up with a method of running the ATX and 12V lines between the motherboard and the mobo-tray - only to emerge right next to the PSU.

What I have come up with will involve soldering the power lines right to the mobo.

Also I'll be making a cut though the mobo tray beneath the ethernet port - I intend to solder a second port onto the bottom of the mobo, making it easier to wire the mobo to the Alix router.

I'll post a proper illustration - my brain fart doodling is indecipherable. Methinks it'll be tomorrow evening as I'm now off to bed now.

luckily I'll be sleeving the tubes.

haha for a split second i thought that was a pic of a lapped cpu

but yeah, that will do the job well. it seems you really have thought of everything. keep up the good work man!

Here's a very quick and dirty diagram to roughly show my intent with soldering the ATX and 12V lines to the bottom of the mobo.

I had a short run of (1250ft, lol.. minimum manufacturing length) 24conductor 18agage 'PrometheusCU edition' ribbon cable manufactured by ITW Pancon especially for this (and alot fo the other wires) purpose.

had a short run of (1250ft)

Dude, I could have got you 24conductor 18g ribbon cable for like, 22c a foot locally here... You had 1250 feet made for you?

That's hardcore.

This has a 0" pitch, meaning it has no spacing between wires, It's also black.

I called almost every wire manufacturer in North America, and a few in Europe - no-one made the product I wanted.

For some reason this is a very rare cable... or I'm just too damn anal.

Yep, I've got the same stuff, in 400m rolls in the china-town district of my home town

Might I ask you how much the roll set you back?

Far too much $$ - far far too much... that's amazing. I searched everywhere for a month.

If I paypal you some cash for your troubles, think you could hook me up with a roll?

This is going to amazing once finished, how much has it cost as yet?

I'll be close to $15,000 by the time it's done.


Thanks guys!

Quickie update:
After a lot of measuring, scoring, snaping, drilling, and filing I have this:
1 down, 1 to go.

HOLY SHIT!!! That looks awesome!!!

15 gs....? holly fuck, lol....

personally id spend that on travel, clothing, parting, some PC parts, a nice watch....

thats a LOT of $$$. wow.

but the case is uber sweet, a build like non-other. certainly a build thats most $$$

Is that copper serving no other purpose than just aesthetics? And 15gs does not impress me one bit.

Looking good.

Damn, time to scrap the project, OofC_S7v7N isn't impressed. Looks like this was a waste of time.
