Hi my modding friends,
I'm working almost 2 weeks now on a nice little project
And would like to share this with you. A kind of MCE / NAS for in the living room
(actually the only place without a PC) My wife was always against this, so I had to promise that it has to be a winner
And (almost) without sponsorship
This year's Cebit, I bought a kind of prototype NAS thing , made of some Acrylic and aluminum.
Real ugly, but this is gonna change....I hope
I have a few last remaining pieces of UV green acrylic so this I'm gonna use for this build, with black
Hardware:
2x HDD, Western Digital Greenpower 1.5TB
1x Intel 160 GB SSD
Een Asus E45M1-1 Deluxe
Een 220 Watt Coolermaster PSU
4x 60mm Coolermaster fans
The "thing" disassembled
And everything pulled apart
The Asus mobo
Enough Sata's and a PCI-e
DDR3
It fits
Already cut 2 green pieces of acrylic
Top
Bottom
And placed the 2 HDD's
Fits next to the motherboard
For both sides I have cut a piece of UV green acrylic
Cut the shapes for the air-outlet
Same form as the original, still need to cut the fanholes for the 60mm fans
Also cut a piece acrylic for the front. And another piece slightly curved with 60mm fanholes.
I changed the fanholes and made square holes ​​with the dimensions of the fans
And sawn an aluminum plate with fanholes, this will be black acrylic which is looking better, I think
In the upper layers of black and green acrylic (in the middle) I cut a rectangle with the dimensions of an SSD
The cut rectangular green acrylic on the SSD.
Made the aluminum bars black.
And a little teaser for the next update
