Engineering Help Appreciated for WC setup

I can't wait to see the finished product and your OC results.


That PSU is damn sexy too. Good pick.

Update:

I've been doing a little bit of sheet metal work on the case, but the real news this time is the GF2MX400 that I've been using as a mock-up tool. I'm currently putting together a box to run smoothwall (to take over for my little Linksys box and give me some real security) out of spare parts lying around.

I had one of everything besides a graphics card, then I remembered that I had one in the case I'm building. The card has so far been submerged in water several times, covered in metal dust, had HUGE amounts of DC run through it (courtesy of my welder), and been withing inches of 1300 deg C heat, and suffered the shock of a 15 lb hammer "working over" the side of the case.

I plugged it into the pile of parts and lo and behold IT WORKS! That's all the big news for this installment.

Edit: That's a pic of the box up and running as proof.

Wow man !!!!! , realy impressive stuff , this look so nice , i wait to see the final product .
Great stuff , congrats m8

OK, I just typed a REALLY long post and while uploading the pics to go along with it and my computer crashed. Se here's my second go at this:

I just finished mocking up the entire case and the results look good to me. The frame and WC system are completely done and function very well.

The sheet metal design has underwent some heavy revisions. I don't much care for working with stainless steel sheet without the right tools (shear and brake), so the case is now an officially "open air" design with sheet metal accents.

Here's a directory full of pictures that I just took today of the case. Most are self explantory except for two of them. The file "portrait" is a picture of me in the garage, and "welder&gloves" is of my trusty Miller EconoTIG and my favorite welding gloves which were with me through the whole project.

I'm completely open to suggestions for hardware, so if you have any, speak up.

I think that's all for this installment, more updates to follow as things progress.

Just a friendly bump to see if there are any updates to this project.

I started a new thread as the project was getting out of the building stage and into the "showing off" stage: http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthre...hreadid=207926
