I started working on this project few days ago and i thought, lets post some of it.. Idea and startlog first
It will be a massive bulldozer looking case as a tribute for AMD and their FX series of processors...

Model 3D:




I switched from case mod to scratch build 😄 entire bottom frame complete 🙂 also some welds needed to be fixed.. been a while since i welded anything 🙂

[BaxterTheFly]

Ok, entire mount completed and functional :)details left to be done so it doesnt look this ugly 😄






Also the mount for fans on marked and will be finished tomorrow 🙂


Also i got nice piece of plexiglass for the mobo thermal armor that is mostly just estetic armor for me 🙂

[BaxterTheFly]

Ok guys, i just finished some work on my 3d Model for tonight 🙂



It is to scale 🙂

Working on fan grill design turned out to be more complicated than i thought 🙂

Here is what i have for now... still need to figure out few more details

[BaxterTheFly]

Rad grill done, if anyone likes/wants this, or stuff like this, i got few designs i made for now and for later on with new projects, you can just PM me/ email/ or reply they are .crd and ready for laser cutting in scale for 240 rad ( two for 480 ) 😄

Ok, so i tossed everything on so i can see how it looks and my dog came to inspect it... 😄 if she could, she would have gotten her self inside in no time ( i gotta post video of us trying to get her out of the car 😄 )




*the red thing on the top is from my old sidepannel, will use it later as a mesh for somewhere 🙂

Also i started doing some work around the cabbin, this is first look, i need to straiten it before i can use it... it will only be a mold for bending acrylic glass pannel so it is gonna be entire side bent 🙂




So what do you guys think?

[BaxterTheFly]

Ok, today i figured out i could have taken a cabbinet and modify it for the thing i did in the end 😄






It seemed logical to make it like this instead of making it out of 3 parts...

[BaxterTheFly]

Ok guys, today i got my first sponsors, i recieved a nice timely response from Phobya 😄

Heya guys, tomorrow it will be ready for base and white paint :), after that i will do cable menagment with some cable routers, and paint it all in the colours it is intended 🙂 stay tuned 😄



I hope you can see how massive it is 😄

[BaxterTheFly]

So today i found out that the box in my wast basement wasnt just an empty box as i tought for last 6 years, inside was mint in box router 😄

*idiot right...he..he.....he. *

I made cannals for acrulyc window i will be using 🙂


and it will go here :


also i got a bit pissed and redid the rooftop, AGAIN *5th time* ARGHHHH


new system for easyer mounting with 2 steel bars...



Also, tomorrow, as i found out i have router i will smothen all the edges down and give them nice curvy finish 😄

[BaxterTheFly]

Today i totally rebuilt the side pannels... one of those days when nothing fits, and i was so angry about it... so i had to do it right this time! I made them from far better quality wood, more precise, with new tools... looks 10 times better and works properly now (the sliding mechanism)...

The wood is 10 times better, more compressed, easyer to manipulate.


Got a template for 480... and did it right!


Smoothen the edges...




and the big ass drill for wider and "non-bend" blade for my saw

And last, but not least, see the difference!!!
