Project - ALU

Weeee!!!

Pickies are upp again! Woohoo!

Very cool (pun intended) case You're building there, me likes it a lot. :)

Var har du köpt allt aluminium? Det är inte precis att man kan springa in på Clas Ohlson och handla...
English transl. (shortened) Where did You buy the aluminium?

@ Mashie: So now I'm a spammer too? Sigh :( oh, well :cool:

it would be very cool if you could make the cases look like the renders... white cases, black outline on the edges...

now i have to go mod something. i wish i had the tools to do it...

this looks like a very cool mod. keep up the good work.
 
the "fat" alu did i get from a swedish store,
metallvaruhust (in english metall store)
i gave them all the measure and they did the cutting.

the thin alu a got from another swedish store
cgt metell and aluseal did the cutting and let
me borrow the bending machine :)

Haha, I love how you left the stock cooler in there for size comparison. Awesome work so far, I love how clean and functional your designs are, simply amazing!

 
how about you do us a favour ..

Everytime you post pics of aluminum blocks ... put something next to them for measurement purposes ...

That to me looks like I big Aluminum Cylindrical Block
 
marble floor is the shiznit...

btw ... this project is going really slow ...

Can we get full pics of the whole thing instead of the small details in each one :D
 
there we go ... You make me wanna quit university and start building cases ...

Nice lookin stuff there
 
You know what. I think this should be made a sticky.

How to build an Alu case. You are building it from scratch after all.

hehe maby, when am done with the first case (firewall)
and am pleased with the result maby it could be a sticky one ;)
 
Have you considered cooling issues yet?

You might wanna put holes through that horizontally placed aluminum.

An intake and outake placed across would provide good cooling for the top of the case since you're not installing a fan on the top.

Just an idea
 
This is comming together great. I can't wait to see the fabrication of the server and workstation, too.
 
this wasnt fun! :(
hard to work with an bent plate...

havent start with the button holes yet...gah!
