DarthBeavis Project: Away Team

I scoped it out every time I passed by it on my way out or in of the BYOC but never saw anyone around. It really looks great in person!!

Sorry, I was really busy with helping Nvidia get ready for presentations and such. Did you see the main Nvidia presentation at 5:30 PM on Friday that included the ION Chef mod competition and the other contests such as bug eating? I was the Commisioner on stage in the red outfit with purple cape being a silly dork.
 
QuakeCon went well. I will finish this build by doing two things (will be completed by PAX in three weeks):
1. Install 4 fan rad in center handle assembly (close it off with acrylic)
2. Finish custom monitor enclosures and install them
3. Make up brochures explaining it is a Starfleet Core of Engineers Concept so stop whining about how it does not look Star Trekkish dammit ;) I swear people just are so literal and can only think linearly

Working on monitor enclosures. Have to tap into the controllers boards to get power for fans I am adding to the enclosures. These boxes will connect to the 'antlers'.

I took the small rads out of the aluminum boxes replacing them with a single rad in the new center housing (split off the T3 dual outputs back and back using Bitspower Y connectors - don't know if there is a benefit but I thought why not)

Re-plumbed and ready to fill and leak test. Used Koolance quick disconnects so I can take the top part off for shipping/transport.

I will also sand down that top piece so it sits flush.
 
I've been following your progress on your project and you have the best original mod I've seen to date. The work is so clean and I'm surprised at every update, keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
 
I hate the monitor enclosures so I am going to design something different. It will continue the green and black design element and will be more like brackets that wrap around the monitor instead of entirely enclosing it. Will look much better. here is the ghetto enclosures installed (was going to install pieces to cover up teh seams by instead time to make it look tight).
