2001 - A Case Modyssey
- Thread starter ASPHIAX
- Start date
The 2001 A Case Modyssey is made possible with the help from the following sponsors !
Asus is going to help us with a Corsshair IV Formula motherboard
EKWB is gonna help us with the Full watercooling setup including motherboard, CPU, Ram and GTX580's
My favorite webshop for watercooling supplies Highflow is gonnan pitch in also ! Thanks Freddy !
Lamptron is going to help us by supplying the powerfull touch fan controller needed to control the fans!
The best group on facebook for your SCIFI Obsessive Creation Disorder. We have over 50 Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG, Alien and other SCIFI Mods. Join us and share your SCIFI creations !!!
Hi all,
Here is a long overdue update. Finally got a big part of the hardware in house! Xmas vacation, Logistical issues, Chinese new year it all added up to this untypical long pauze for the next update!
Lamptron has supported the Modyssey by delivering us a Touch Fan controller and a noise reduction set!
30 watts per channel ! Thats powerfull !!
Next is the major contribution from EKWB! Gregor thanks for the help and the serious kickass products. That's one cool monkey now !
From left to right we have the EK-Supreme HF CPU waterblock, the EK-RAM Dominator X4 and the EK-D5 X-TOP Rev 2
EK-FC 580 GTX + waterblocks
The Monket is surrounded by GPU Power fitted with EK Backplates
Asus helped us with a crosshair IV Formula motherboard. Guys thanks!
So I made a couple of plexi standoffs and mounted the board and the 580's. Also placed the CPU and RAM waterblocks where they will go.
That was it for this afternoon, I will be posting the design we worked out for the interior vinyl sticker that will go over the RED UV Reactive plexi I have ordered from Highflow. This and the ram, coolant, hose and a bunch of other stuff will arrive later this week, so expect updates regularly again!

Here is the Interior Vinyl Design.
Just like the titel states we will be using black vinyl stickers over red UV reactive plexiglass to cover all but the most attractive parts of the hardware.
The plexi modules will be sticking out of the plexiglass like if they were disconnected but still illuminated.
The picture of Kubrick and Clark on the set of 2001 will be engraved into the clear plexiglass reservoir which will be filled with red UV coolant.
Here is the design with the HAL 9000 interface installed. The HAL 9000 interface will be made of 10mm thick plexiglass covering the GPUs. They are watercooled so there will not be too much heat generated there and with the 140mm fan blowing alomost directly into the ventilation shafts at the connector side of the GPUs we will have some airflow there.
Here we have it integrated into a picture of the case. There are several issues with this picture offcourse. The plexi cover plates will come too about half of the depth of the case.
In case your wondering, the red round elements in the vinyl are bitspower fillports adapted for passthrough. This is where the tubing will go through the plexi and alu.
The black square next to the reservoir with the picture is the EKWB top for the Laing 655 pump
Ok and now we need your help! In the yellow circle there is a text that should describe what the underlying plexi modules do.
We couldnt think of a good text to put there. We had : Led Panel Illuminator, Lifesupport enabler, Coffeemaker so you see were running a bit low on ideas there.
Let me know what you think should be there and we might just put it there !

cool!
Hi All,
Wohoo! We got our first nomination in : Mod-Of-The-Month at BT. Thanks!
So I got the order from my favorite watercooling webshop Highflow in!
We got the AMD 1100T processor, the dominator RAM, some fesser UV red coolant, some UV red plexi, some UV red tubing some UV leds for testing, Another enermax 140 Apolish fan and the Laing DC655 pump.
So I started making the cardboard template for the red UV plexi after I made the plexiglas frame for the HAL9000 interface. More on that will follow later in a seperate post.
I will use scrap pieces of aluminum to support the plexiglass.
Full cover plate will be made of 2 pieces of plexi. I cant place the plexi over the hardware if it was made of 1 piece. Will use the vinyl sticker to cover the connection point.
Placed the RAM and the CPU to see if the design still is ok
With the lighting.
So I have concluded the poll for the text on the vinyl sticker.
Sequence Initialiser it is.
Thanks to you all for voting !
There were some other nice ones that might find their way into the build at other points!
Thanks for watching !

It a EKWB RAM cooler designed for the Corsair Dominator and Dom GT series. You can get them in 2 , 3 and 4 module versions.
What you do is take of the heatspreader (3 screws per RAM modules) , add some coolingpaste and put the block on top. screws back in and voila watercooled RAM.
What additional performance can you get? Dont really know, but it sure looks good ! lol
Will be designing some stickers for replacing the white ones on the RAM modules

A suggestion. Put a fan to force some air through the graphics cards tunnel looking thing. It may help with temps 
one of a kind - words can't describe it...
- the only thing I would consider is the ease of access for removal and replacement of components - - unless I missed a post on the subject, access shoul be a consideration (maybe from the other side?) in case of an upgrade/failure...
...you don't want to make it so difficult that when it is required - you put the fantastic/sensitive components of this build at risk...

To extend on that, maybe make it so that the mobo tray is on hinges so you don't have to pull any perspex out to get to components???
Thanks! We do our best !

Good suggestion! Look at the initial design, there is a 140mm fan just underneath the HAL9000. The next post will show more !
Thanks for the suggestions! Greatly appreciated! The plexi will be placed on small alu pillars, making it very easy to remove. When something goes wrong, removing the engraved hood, the window and the plexi will not take more then 3 minutes i guess.

Hi All,
Here is a short update. Waiting for the plexi innerframe to arrive from the cutter, I decided to make the intake fan. This 140mm fan will blow fresh air directly into the ventilation slots of the GTXs. This will help in keeping the temps down in the HAL 9000!
Also cut the passthrough for the PSU cables. This hole will be under the plexi coverplate so it could be nice and large!
[/IMG]
Placed the 1200W coolermaster PSU and the plate that will devide the case intake and the psu intake.
One small problem. The connector for the powerplug and the on/off switch were in the way. So had to void the warranty of the psu, cut the side out and rerouted the connectors to the other side of the psu.
Replaced the side with a piece of mesh. Remember the connect the ground if you do this !
Got a special design for the radgrill. 2 layers of special lasered UV red plexi! More about that soon!

Hello all,
To keep the pace, here is another small build update.
This week the plexi arrives (hopefully) and that means I can finish the interior. So better close her up then and make sure everything is still working. Sorry for the crappy quality of the first pictures, they were made with my BB.
Cant wait to plave the red UV reactive radgrill here !!
Just to be ahead of you perfectionists out there, I intentionally left the window covered with fatty fingers so youd see there is a window there ! LOL!

Here's a little update but unfortunately not a good one !
After having troubles with delivery of the plexiglasrods to the cutter (took 2 weeks), the rods bent because of the heat of the laser so we had to get creative and glued several layers of plexi together to get the desired thickness, the plexi arrived today .... IN PIECES !!!!
Now we are going to claim back from PostNL, redo the work etc etc ...

Now with the AT-AT almost finished its time to take care of another build I was doing.
Sometimes its a good thing to step away from a build for a while and then return to it.
We decided to change some things as you will see in the new render video.
Nix is making a kickass compilation of the scenes to put on the base right now !
Let us know what you think !
