New Mod Project.

Go for it : )

Second Update of the day:

Second and last fase for the exterior paintjob, another coat of paint and it´s different tones has been added, finished the horns, used brown ink (the one I used to stain the horns) to highlight corners and all sorts of parts in the case, to give it that worn feel to it.

Tomorrow morning I´ll be doing the paintjob of the inside, bright fire red to contrast, the components that will be painted I haven´t decided yet wether to paint them that way, or the same tones used on the outside.

Will let it dry for the rest of the day and then in the evening/night, assemble the whole thing, components, liquid cooling, fans, etc…

On wednesday it´s going to an all week long modding event to make it´s debut.

Aniway, enjoy. I´m knakered.

Dang that really looks awesome. I’d do something like that, but, no budget to do anything of the sort… Darn

@Luciel

I like how the middle panel came out there. The rest of it looks great as well, but I really like how that middle part turned out. Was it intentional? I know you had tape on there, dunno if paint bled through or if you wanted it like that.

[Luciel]

thanks guys, and… unforutnately that middle pannel is just tape :S I hadn´t taken it off yet when I did the pickies :S

[Luciel]

Update:

The interior paint is done and so are the case´s accesories, as you can see, I only gave it one coat (after primer) because I don´t think a perfect solid red paintjob would suit the look of the case, this way, it still has tones of the black primer, and it´s now been lackered in a metal finish, that way, even the tones shine. It´s time to start with the components.

Yes, those are the eyes ; ) (modified reservoir).

More updates and final completed update later today.

[Luciel]

Unfortunately I did not finish it in time for the modding event. However, I did finish the paint so I assembled the components inside, even though they are not in a working condition (so I brought the mod in a week project to use meanwhile so diabolo is just here for show).

Also as a very nice surprise, I got to meet and talk to for quite some time Angel, the creator of mods just as ghetto art, synthetica, etc. That really made my day : )

[calhoun_freeman]

Still, finish that mod. We would love to see it get finished.

[Luciel]

Of course! Don´t worry about that, the next event is in December, but will defo be finished before that with all the missing details.

Meanwhile…

and here is next to my previous worklog (also posted on here, “Mod in a Week”

Me want that delicious moniters

gimme gimme

[geekofalltrades]

That’s super-badass.

[BahamutBBob]

What do you typically do when you’re done with a modding project? Does it end up sitting around your house/workshop, or do you sell/donate/raffle/etc it away?

[Luciel]

It really depends on the specific project BahamutBBob, it´s quite hard to sell because the simple ammount of materials cost and not to mention time spent on it would raise the price of just the case quite high, so you´d need to find someone who´s willing to pay that price to have something unique. That said, I have managed to sell a couple, one I aunctioned for charity and aside from this one, I still have another 2 in storage.

I got an email today from a friend letting me know I had appeared on the front page of a very well respected technology website in spain. The title said (translated): The very best of the Campus Party Milenio (the event I went too). And the header image (insinuating, the best), was the back of my head with my projects lol.

PS: Was playing RAGE.
This made me veeery happy! : )

[calhoun_freeman]

Hot damn. Congratulations.

[Luciel]

Cheers Calhoun : )

Hi Everyone!

I´m back from the Campus Party Milenio, got to meet some great people/modders and see some really good work! Diabolo was put togueter and was taken to this event, however, it´s by no means finished, it was merely made “presentable” for the event. The official presentation of the finished product will be in the Murcia Lan Party on the 6th of December.

For the purpose of updates, I will ignore the fact of the process I took to get it ready for the event in question and continue with the last update I did before then : )

Right so, I´ve put the frontal togueter to see how it would look and judge if I needed changes. First problem, the upper grill was measured wrong, so to much space was left between such and the horns, luckyly, I have spares so will be doing that again.

the 275s have been painted:

the X-Fi Titanium:

The Sabertooth:

[Luciel]

The PSU cover (I have left the psu untouched aside from the sleeving I´ll be doing as a sign of respect to my sponsor).

I left the cooling running all night to test for leaks with no problem so I put it in, mounted the radiator, haven´t mounted the pump yet, it´s simply sitting on one of the bays, mostly to see where I want to put it). And turned everyone on, just to make sure everything was working, and surely enough, it was. Only one GPU in though as I´ll be using the other one on my current rig so I can use it meanwhile : )

[Luciel]

I´m currently debating about the horns. While it´s my first time doing such structure, and decently happy as to how it turned out, I´m not 100%, the simetrical different doesn´t really bother me, plus it would be incredibly hard to do so, specially with such materials, It´s the size of them that bothers me.

One of the ideas that came up was to cutting them to a point and shaping them hell-boy style, what do you guys think?

That´s all for now, I´m waiting on some materials to arrive before I can continue.

[k3nny1550]

I do like how the red lights shine up onto the horns. That looks very cool.

Do the horns also work as a carrying handle?

[Luciel]

In deed, and that would be lost if the horns where to be modified, and no, the horns while not frail against knocks and so on, wouldn´t be strong enough to carry the weight of the case and it´s components.

[calhoun_freeman]

I WANNA PAINT MY INSIDES LIEK THAT!

But yeah. What’s that eye things for?

Also putting some more evil-like things would be nice. Currently it looks like a box with horns.
