Hello and welcome to my newest build! I've been modding for 15 years now and usually my themes are of a pixelated design. This mod is based on Bowsers Airship. To make this stand out a bit, its going to be suspended from the ceiling and have moving propellers.I will be 3D printing this...

Here it is! This is a gif of the lighting: https://i.imgur.com/zhxuomY.mp4 I'm trying to grow my Instagram so I can do more unique builds. Please consider giving a follow :) http://instagram.com/8bitbuilder

Gettting some lighting action :D heres a gif (if it doesn't work, There will be a link) https://imgur.com/06VpG6I Static image of the lights Rearview of the new wiring setup Getting ready to put the ASUS RYUJIN AIO in Extremely close to being done. Just got to fill a few gaps near...

Back with a redo on the LEDs I did the wiring slightly different so I didn't crowd the contacts on the leds Putting the back frame on MoBo Mount ASUS Prime Z390-A TEAMGROUP NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB 16gb DDR4 RAM ASUS ROG RYUJIN 360 AIO CPU Cooler ASUS ROG Thor 1200W Modular RGB PSU...

Thanks N4CR! I really appreciate them! Starting the LED work! TLDR: It did not go well... Gluing down the led strips All the soldering equipment ANNNNND heres all the lights in the trash. I mixed up the pins on my molex connector since the female side needs to be backward to get...

Thanks Adidas! Boxes in position :D The rear bracket that will support the components. The cubes on the front are mainly for lighting, not structure support. I messed up on the design and decided I needed these cubes out. I used my old junk soldering iron to melt out the cubes and used...

Got most of the frame done! I had to wait a little bit for plastic to come in, but I"m using 3D solutech PLA and its going pretty good. Heres the frame pieces laying next to each other And the pc parts in there respective places...sorta ha Combining the sections together with glue and 3D...

I started the printing and got a good bit done! This section alone takes about 2 days. Multiply this by 8 sections and you can see it takes awhile to do this project: These squiggly lines are called supports in the 3d Printing world. It helps when you are printing hollow things, in this...

Hello and welcome to my newest build :) I've been modding for 10 years now and usually my themes are of a pixelated design. This mod is named ColorFalls as the case will be built to hang from a wall and look like it's made out of hundreds of cubes that each have a LED and will have...

Final Photos! Gif of lights in motion here! https://imgur.com/YxVzBaV

After doing some math I decided to get the lights their own PSU. Here it is: And after some handy dandy hiding magic... The power button is going to be installed in the top near the usb hub All the components! All the wires! Starting to hide the wires behind the mobo...

I got caught up with Halloween costumes and waiting on a few pc components for the build. This is going to be a big post to catch up! After doing some testing, I ran into an issue where the light wasn't being diffused as great as I wanted. I ended up sanding the case to rough up the texture to...

The equipment! ASUS MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC) ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX TEAM GROUP T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR4 GAMING MEMORY 16 GB TEAM GROUP T-FORCE DELTA SSD

Just about the whole body done. These are the MoBo mounts: The front with the fan placements about to go in: Top fan:

Going to be some rapid updates as I move into finising printing most of pieces now. I've ran into a few issues... Spaghetti monster, colorized What happened: I was printing 3 pieces but the 3rd piece dislodged from the printbed and began printing in the air. Luckily the 2 pieces were easily...

Back with some new progress now that I've printed a few sections out. Having some stringing issue due to a mod I put on the printer so I've been troubleshooting it but still giiving some issues. THE STRINGINGGGGG Fix'd after some easy cleanup Next issue was the this tall section having...

Hello and welcome to my newest build :) I've been modding for 10 years now and usually my themes are of a pixelated design. This mod is named Aurora Cubes as the case will be built to look like it's made out of hundreds of cubes that each have a LED and will pattened lighting effects. It...

Thanks spugm1r3 :D Large photo dump inbound!!!!! Specs: -ASUS ROG Strix X370-I -ASUS GTX 1080 Turbo -GeIL 16gb DDR4 Super Luce RAM -Thermaltake SFW Toughpower 600w fully modular PSU -Thermaltake Riing RGB Fans (120mm, 200mm, Cpu cooler)

Heres the finished video. It shows the whole computer being printed. I'll be back with the photos soon! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S6MWTAKUKUk" frameborder="0" allow="au

Probably last update until the final photos and video! I'll have it at PAX East 2018 if anyone is going to be there by chance. Got the lighting done! I have it wired into the PSU so it doesn't need additional outlets to be plugged in. Edit: if embed doesn't work, gif link here...

Back again! I've been doing small things that didnt warrant many photos (trying to learn to program, ended up having my 2 buddies help me), and rearranging computer components. I'm nearing completion though! I will probably have 1 more update after this then it will be final photos and a time...

You're right, because it doesn't fit! Lol, I wasnt paying attention when I was looking at the coolers and making sure it fit the Strix. I'm going to try out 2 other coolers (1 normal size, 1 low profile) and see which looks better. Also, interestingly enough, the 1600x doesn't come with a stock...

1600x which has a higher tdp. I'm going to benchmark and try it out. I like the style/look of it.

I'll look into it, They gave me an option and I needed a low profile one and that one fit the bill. I'm not looking at overclocking but if I do and I run into issues I'll swap out for something else with them.

I have absolutely no idea on how to embed images on here anymore. It keeps getting wonkier and wonkier as I try different links/uploading etc... Turns out programming isn't as easy as I had hoped. I have a friend or two giving me a hand. In the meanwhile, I picked up 2 more sponsors! This is...

Just a small update of all the lights running heres a link if gif embed doesnt work: https://imgur.com/VMuIZOR Still working on trying to program the coding so they run separately atm Edit: Still see the img tags arn't working. I really don't feel like going through all the post and changing...

I wonder what caused that to happen. They were working fine before. hmmm

Luckily I'm done with the major printing sections and shouldn't have anymore issues ha. They were new experiences and I'm glad I experienced/fixed the issues so it was a good learning situation. Back now that I'm done with the wiring. Oh boy, was this an adventure. I've rarely done...

Finished up the frame of the top! Couldn't use any vertical clamps due to the say its smooth on the inside, so had to use some weights to help glue it down. Baby for scale Adult for scale This is my wife staying "awake" past her bedtime trying to help by routing the pc wiring on the...

Getting near the home stretch! Heres a test lighting of one of the feet. No cable management yet...ha Side being built up: Not fully complete but just an idea how the window will be I'll be back when I have the whole top finished with fans and whatnot. I'm gonna start working on...

Working on the top frame now. Heres the base in pieces Clamping it together All said and done with the lower section I'm still waiting on the printer to finish the rest of the sections so will have whole frame done in a few days Experimenting with different wire covers I printed

Back with some more things: Working on the "teeth" which are what hold up the case from the floor Printed in tranparent red and white, with a hollowed out point for leds to light up The teeth going through quality control (not sure how to embed gifs/youtube links on here so just a regular...

Thanks Kinsaras, I'll be really excited to get it finished up also! Heres a component placement update: The ASUS Turbo 1080 just by its lonesome The ASUS STRIX-370I alone also But not for long! These are testing "legs" to hold up the motherboard. I'll make some beefier/sturdier ones soon...

Yea, I've been printing for a year now with a i3 clone, and I learned a lot with it. I just got the CR10 and it has a new feed system so i'm still learning what can happen with it. 3D printing is more for customizing things in my opinion. I have a huge board game collection so its also used a...

This post is about printer problems :( This is how it looks starting. This is about 3 hours into a print of 1 of the 14 sections left A little futther in the print, about 9 hours Aaaaand heres the issue at about 12 hours in. The tube that guides the plastic let loose while I was away from...

Thanks, appreciate it :D ON to some special super glue made for 3D PLA and a 3D pen to weld the pieces together. The glue is probably fine but I'm gonna play it safe and double up on strong connection points. The glue 3D pen action After 3D pen Give em the clamps! Finished base...

Back with a few updates. I'm printing in earnest, and got a few progress shots and issues even, but nothing unsurpassable. This is a gif of a lighting test for the build. I wanted to verify Red Leds would go through green plastic without to much color distortion. Alls well on that front Heres...

Hi guys, I'm 8-Bit Builder. I've been doing this for about 10 years now and just starting up my newest build. I build cases in the an old pixelated style as you will see shortly :D. I've been wanting to build a Metroid computer case for about 7 years now but plastic was always too...

Temps are about 35C idle but I haven't been able to test it yet. I was having trouble with the motherboard unlocking 6 cores (its a phenon X4) and the 2 extra cores was causing issues on getting temp readings. So far I ran Skyrim max for a hour with no slowdown (this was before I was able to fix...

Thanks guys, I'm gonna be taking it to the LAN at PAX EAST in april :D
