Okay, it would seem that some fokes has misunderstood the difference between my cable tray, and my motherboard tray. This update should clarify that
Would the real Motherboard tray PLEASE stand up?
As you can see, this is the motherboard tray, 2 peices of acrylic sandwitched.
Now this is the cable tray, which someone though would have the motherboard mounted on it too.
How does all this play together? we will get back to that later First, a big thanks to Vincent from Bitspower for sending me some goodies!
Old versus new pass trough fittings
This must be the sexiest fittings on EARTH!
Everybody has bitspower battlemechs, but how many have custom bitspower holders? (no really, theese are gonna be used in another project i will link too soon )
And a custom version of Jon Lund´s PomPlex reservoirs
This combo will be placed on the top of the reservoir, and will work as inlet, and fillport.
The little plastic bugger inthere is a port for LED´s, and i am gonna use quite a few of theese in the build i think. Should light the reservoir up nicely
And now for the cables! You probertly already saw this picture:
But here is some more money shots:
Before we continue to the cable tray, i would like to show the pump, and the sleeving on this. Instead of putting heatshrink on, i opened up the housing, and put the sleeving in, STEALTH style!
And now, i got the case partially riveted back together! (you will notice some small silver screw like things, these are tempory rivets lol! )
Notice the motherboard tray inthere?
Some people asked me if the weight of the psu wouldnt destroy the psu holder in acrylic, and this is where i am planning on putting a support plate (the plate you see there is not the final plate, its a dish i made for myself of scraps made 3 others with names on to the rest of the fokes in the dorm lol!)
And what will it support? The psu and the pump of course! IMO this looks SEXY!
And with the sides on!
Oh look! A tiny window for the reservoir
And now, Will the real CABLE Tray please stand up, and get in place
And with the motherboard tray out
Sides on
I still need to rivet the middle plate inthere, but that cant be done before the cable tray is completely done, and so far i ran out of heatshrink -.- Oh well... another order then
Hope you enjoy´d this update!

AMAZING!

thank you very much all! im sitting in madrid at campus party europe, with a lot of other modders and having a great time, and suddenly remembered that i forgot to show you this update
enjoy!
Well... couldnt wait a week, and with the MOTM nominee i figured it was time to update so enjoy!
I got new toys!!! More tools woot! best gift a modder can get besides hardware!
Had to use it for the passtrough fitting from bitspower!
Glued the two green and black plate from the motherboard tray together. Needed some weight to make the glue stick better
The fan and 6 pins plugs sitting flush with the cable tray
Some macro shots!
New hardware! New tools AND hardware in one update woot ! An msi gd85 with usb 3.0 and sata 6 GB/s, and a Intel i5 750. Put in, and cables on:
How the radiator will be put.
The mod will be lit by a 1.5 meter smd lcd strip with 10 smd led´s pr. 10 centimeter. with the controller i can adjust brightness from dull to Christmas tree strenght!
Light it up!
And here is a great pic (if i may say it myself lol) of the motherboard tray inside the case.
Thats all for this time! The case has to be send to madrid the 5´th so it can be shown to all the other great modders who will attend campus party europe 2010!

Finally! I had last day on the summerjob, and starting in school next week! So wanted to put this update up since a LOT have happened since the last update!
Now, where were we? Right about here i think.
This is how the case have stood ever since i went to hear stewie wonder in copenhagen. I got a 4870x2 with block on it, and fittet that in, and painted the mobo back panel!
The 2*6 pins fits so much better on to this card than they would have fittet on a 5870! There is just one downside, i miss two pins!
Now, a little tube routing have been set in motion, but there is still lots to do.
Now guess what hides under this hood? It has 64 gigs, and runs at aprox 270MB/sek in read and write I hope to be able to replace it with something bigger, better and nicer soon though.
Now this, is what the little glowsticks that Jon made for me does! (http://lund-tech.com/?Products:Lighting_module)
A quick shot of the side panel lit up!
of some reason, this reminds me of a horror movie, where you see a sharp light trough a window xD
Now, for the torture of the psu... Belive it or not, but it took me over 6 hours to make it look this way!
Soldering the wires back together after cutting them down to size.
2*6 pins down! 8 pin and 24 pin to go
Halfway there!!!
DONE! And i must say, i am quite happy about the final result! Not to green, but with a little black in between
From another angel. I practically had to stand on top of it to get the wires inthere! Talk about a close fit!
And what might this little bugger be? Remember the problem about missing a few pins on the 8 pin for the gfx card? No problem
Just put this one into the psu, and bam! 2 more pins fixed
Now, the octopus begins...
Now isn't this the best looking cable mess you've ever seen?
And the little 2 pin crawling trough the case and finally ending in the gfx card!
And now! A huge thanks to mushkin for sending me 8 gigs of these awesome rams! I cant wait to get these into the case!
Black and green, just like the rest of the mod!
Gotta love them. They are so incredible heavy compared to other ram sticks i have around, and i love the ridgeback fin design!
More pronz!
But hey now, what is this? "Something seems to be missing dude..."
Yeah, i noticed, but i couldn't decide if i wanted the copper top, or the delrin to for the build :/
Then its lucky that AquaComputer was so awsome to send BOTH the cuplex kryos HF and a spare delrin top!
Two awsome names paired!
Now, the only downside with the delrin top is that it doesn't take 10 mm compression fittings
The HF top however, does! This thing must weigh a metric tonne or therby!
And this is how she stands at the moment! I will update again when i get the ram installed, along with the waterblock. Oh, and dont mind the vandal switch hanging there It will be replaced with a black one i got from nutman
And again, thanks to the sponsors
Until next update, Cya!!!

Just had to say unbelievable work!!! I think the hardest part of all of this is being pressured to make the final product a replica of the concept... and I gotta say it just looks better than the concept!
Also wanted to know what camera you are using for your pics?
Also wanted to know what camera you are using for your pics?
Thanks all!
Thanks man! If you save the picture to your computer, you can right click, and show the details about the picture, including which camera it was taken with I use a few different you see.
here are a little update for you! This is part one, of a larger update that i decided to tear down into two, beacuse i cant finish the other part before a week or so
A little picture of the new mobo! Decided to get the EVGA p55 le, since its all black, and fits the theme best.
Also got the IQ panel painted.
And the backside of the Bitspower block. Still thinking of what to do with this
Another shot of backside, and card.
And the modded Aquacomputer cuplex kryos! Now in all black
And with a quite expensive fitting combo lol
Mounted on the mobo^
Also had to make some panels to finish up the rear of the case. So they were cut to size, and painted.
And i know, i know, "Dude, what happened to the garden" And here i must refer to the first word in that sentece, Dude.
That place is also my photo studio
And how they look when put in place. Quite the snug fit
And with the outer panel on! (Notice the arm, now without bandages)
Old versus new mobo! Bye Bye blue
A little sleeving (the wire that goes from the aquaero to the onboard usb ports)
"Upskirt" shot.
And in all of her glory
And this is one of my favorite shots so far!
And one showing most of the lower compartment
And again, thanks to the sponsors
Until next update, Cya!!!

Just amazing work, keep it up, cant wait to see it finished
Sooo... What have i been doing? Lots of stuff! A few test at school is over, and i got some more time to work on this, and have some good news for you! I should be able to have this thing done within a week And then i have the time to take her home, into the photo studio and make some glory shots!
Anyway, Uden mad og drikke, dur helten ikke (without food and beverages, the hero dont work)
Oh, and then i used a great deal of time on this, a remote controlled heli
And a close up
And now to the fun stuff! I had to make a new back plate since i lost the old one lol Made some improvements and had some quality time with my dremel!
The result,
A few diskes gone. I am still to cheap to get the quick disconect diskes
Final result before painting^
And now for the fans, i made some stickers to make them look a bit more classy
And insertet into the case, with the cable going into the back wall to the plug.
Now this little hole is the fillport for the hole system! But where does it sit?
Oh yeah, in the top Right above the reservoir. See the aquaero faceplate there? Wonder where this is going...
This^
Ended out like this
And last, but not least, the front panel where the on switch will sit. Need to get this painted!
Tommorow i will have some time to paint and fill down the top, and then there is just some minor stuff left to be done!
And again, thanks to the sponsors
Inside shots in next update Have fun!

Have fun!We are nearing christmas eve, and the end result of one and a half years work was celebrated in a dark room in a small town´s photography club. With a coke in the hand, and the intence cold outside the light was turned on, the backdrops rolled down and the camera set to "on". The tripad was set up, dors shut, and then the clicks were going for 3 hours. A little chit chat in between made a good atmosphear, and the thought about having to go outside in -18 degrees to pick a christmas three didnt hurry things up.
Before i go on to the mod, and the final pictures, i would like to thank a few people who have helped me out a great deal with this project!
Dennis from Sign-1 have been really great at helping me with getting my files cut out, in whatever material i might choose, and Bo from skjern photography club for helping me with the setup for the final pics.
But lets get to it:
But enough of the talk. Lets get to the pictures! I wont say very much, but let them speak for themself. I hope you enjoy them!
That was all from me for now. I am planning something new in 2011, but lets see how far that one gets It have been a pleasure having these worklogs up, and reading all of your comments, so for that, i would like to thank all the users out there who have given me motivation to make this what it have become!
And last, but not least, i would like to give a HUGE thank to the sponsors who have helped making this build what it is!

Superb. And i can't think of any words to describe it. The only minuet thing i personally see as off is how the green acrylic shows up bluish by some of those photos. That is my personal feeling. I love green. This is an amazing case. I love this and the design on the edges gave me ideas for my case sides i have been working on. Love this beast.

Wow, nice the neon green sleeving mixed with the black makes for a nice combo, good work.
