Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #21
hello
- "hello I hope you have a good Christmas"
we continue on the wine cooling mod...
- "with the second radiator on the top of the case"
so aluminium or wood....
- "both my colonel...one aluminium plate"

Resized Image

- "one wood veneer"

Resized Image

- "the whole paste together"

Resized Image

- "we will use these magnetic strips"

Resized Image

- "first taped on the aluminum plate"

Resized Image

- "and then on the radiator"
nothing more ???
- "well... no because we will have the door that will partly hide this plate"

Resized Image

another thing for today?
- "yes! we continue with the back of the case"
inside?
- "indeed!some wooden boards from the box of wine bottles"

Resized Image

- "as you see, they are already cut"

Resized Image

- "second part"

Resized Image

- "third part..."

Resized Image

- "and the last one"
well! we take the profile of the rear outlets

Resized Image

- "I add my little personal touch....."

Resized Image

- "my signature somehow...."

Resized Image

what do you do with this small acrylic plate???

Resized Image

- "I place it on the inner face of my cousin ..."

Resized Image

- "I play with the heat gun...."

Resized Image

- "so that the plate conforms well to the shape of the skull"

Resized Image

- "a small strip of LEDs"

Resized Image

- "by placing two of the leds at the level of the orbits"

Resized Image

okay! and the acrylic plate makes it possible to have a better diffusion of the light
- "that is the idea"

Resized Image

see you soon

Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #22
hello
- "Hi! today..."
waiting about the sleeving's work...
- "then we present some detail on the door of the X71"
this case have two doors

Resized Image

- "indeed! the large door for the main compartment and a smaller for...."
the low compartment
- "we begin with the large door"

Resized Image

original, the door has a window
- "yes! but we have enlarged this opening, especially in the back and down"

Resized Image

- "fashion is by tempered glass ...."
so...
- "we have equipped this door with its own tempered glass"
cool!!!

Resized Image

- "for fixing we had provided the glass with specific holes"
then we use our screw...

Resized Image

- "and fixing the glass directly on the outer face of the door"

Resized Image

for the bottom door... it is a little different...
- "indeed! we have the barrels at this level!"
then we remove the grid...

Resized Image

we thought to leave the door like this...
- "but it did not fit the door above ..."
moreover, we could not have tempered glass with such an opening
- "we therefore opted for another solution"
new aluminium plate!

Resized Image

- "fixed on the outer face of the door"

Resized Image

why this aluminium plate....
- "to extend the door to the bottom of the case and cover the base"

Resized Image

- "we return to the principle of wine cellar with its walls"

Resized Image

a small passage from the grinder....
- "and some black paint to recover the opening"

Resized Image

first we recover the thickness of the tempered glass
- "and we remain in the theme!"
the two barrels are ideally in place in the cellar!

Resized Image

we continue in our delire of wine cellar
- "with this Led candle!"

Resized Image

we wanted to recreate the sieved light that prevails in a cellar of this type...
- "so as not to disturb the good vinification of the grapes within these barrels"
then we open the box of these candles

Resized Image

the goal is to recover the candle-light system

Resized Image

- "and to overcome the batteries"

Resized Image

- "then we remove the batterie connexion"

Resized Image

- "we repeat the operation on our 8 candles"
but we will use only 6

Resized Image

we put the candles in two on a small piece of wood
- "each candle is powered by a 3 V battery...."
we place two with the resistance that goes well
- "for a 12 V supply"

Resized Image

black paint!!!!
- "yes!"
no problem with this painting???
- "no! it works nickel"
okay!
- "and black is better than this green PCB"

Resized Image

have good eve of New Year !!!

Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #23
hello
- "happy new year !!!"
today we will talk about cable...

Resized Image

not that the original cables are not so good
- "but we like to have different cables with the proper length"
then we begin with the ATX cable....

Resized Image

- "crimping sequence"

Resized Image

- "but it is not the hardest ....."
ah?
- "I have prepared you everything for the next step"

Resized Image

- "while cuc starts the sleeving, I put the small sequence video"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7NCBGnMxm8

- "so!"
I finish the ATX cable
- "and your fingers!"
it's okay....
- "a bit like mine that got hot when cutting the bottle : "
quite.....

Resized Image

- "for this mod, we choose to show a large part of cable management"
specially on the backstage

Resized Image

we try to bring together the different wires
- "fortunately we have these cable combs"
it helps in effect

Resized Image

in the main compartment

Resized Image

on the ATX cable we choose this red color quite similar to the color of red wine
- "for the PCIe we choose this brown color to be in agreement with the backplate in wood"

Resized Image

little cable management on this PCIe cables

Resized Image

- "we show you now the result with the acrylic plate in place"
indeed! later we will only see one part.....

Resized Image

- "oups! sorry! better without protective plastic...."

Resized Image

and the CPU cable?
- "well! we only see a little part on the main compartment due to the proximity of the large radiator"
so!
- "so we don't make sleeving on it...."
okay! only black wires
- "yes!"
and what this?
- "plate!"
funny plate!!!

Resized Image

- "we will have a lot of cable for different LED strip...."
oh yes....
- "then we will connect them with this plate and these connectors"

Resized Image

- "welding sequence"

Resized Image

- "this type of plate facilitates the connection between plugs"

Resized Image

another plate....
- "yes! we need a support"

Resized Image

- "a little blow of milling machine"

Resized Image

- "two holes to ensure fixation on the case"

Resized Image

- "and a little glue gun to set up the connectors"
I think we're going to need to do more....
- "I think so...."

Resized Image

see you soon

Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #24
hello
- "hello! it's time installing the hardware on the X71!
okay! then go go go!
- "we start with this little wooden board "
???? .... and the components!!!
- "it's coming"

Resized Image

- "but first, I have to take care of the CPU's waterblock"

Resized Image

- "and as on the motherboard we will integrate wood veneer"
we have tweaked the cut....

Resized Image

... to make it fit

Resized Image

- "we just have to install the waterblock on the motherboard"
we put it in this direction but ...
- "after reflection, we turn it a quarter turn "

Resized Image

- "now we can install the new memory module"
with their red LED lighting system!
- "a choice that fits with the theme"

Resized Image

- "as our choice on the color of the ATX cable sleeving"
a red a little darker to resemble the color of the wine

Resized Image

- "we find our cache for the chipset heatsink"
and the single passage of the different cables coming from the front panel

Resized Image

- "an overview"

Resized Image

- "behind me, we have the wooden boards from the bottle of wine bottles"
in front of you, we can see the PCIe cables with their sleeving of brown color

Resized Image

why this choice of color?
- "I thought it was fine with our wooden backplates"
okay!
- "moreover, we have passed the cables over to try to compensate the weight of the waterblocks that tilt the graphics cards.... "
very little compensation...
- "yes....it lacks a reinforcement subjected to the square on this cards.... "

Resized Image

- "the wood is just laid on the original backplate of the waterblock"
with a small piece of double sided tape

Resized Image

- "Led strip located behind the head of my cousin is subject to the system aura of the motherboard"
we kept the original backlight system of the motherboard

Resized Image

we take advantage to install the radiator at the front of the case
- "provided with its specific cover"

Resized Image

it does not miss something?
you want to talk about that ....

Resized Image

the ROG logo does not really fit the theme
- "indeed! we will correct this"
okay and...
- "as you can see it is in progress... "

Resized Image

see you

Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #25
hello
- "hello "
today....
- "we present this wooden board "
okay....

Resized Image

- "but that's not all"
ah....
- "I have this grid too"
it comes from the lower door of the case?
- "indeed!"

Resized Image

- "and...."
something else!!!
- "yes! this aluminium plate "

Resized Image

- "we cut a large opening on it"
I see that....

Resized Image

- "so! this alu plate come over the wooden board"
okay! and....

Resized Image

- "and we cut another opeinig on this board before placing the grid"
why not...

Resized Image

- "I don't know if you saw this notch in the wooden board"
euh....
- "well, so I report it on the alu plate too"

Resized Image

- "and.......... we build another wall "
again !!!!!
- "yes!"

Resized Image

- "while cuc takes care of the finishes, I work on the SLI bridge"

Resized Image

- "yes! better like this"

Resized Image

- "but it is not finished"
no?
- "no! I take a small piece of aluminium with our wood veneer"

Resized Image

- "once the veneer is glued to the plate"
I know! I start cutting

Resized Image

- "Now that I have my sign ...."

Resized Image

- "I will be able to write these few letters"

Resized Image

- "the barrels at the front and the cellar ventilation grille to the rear ..."

Resized Image

thats'all?
- "well! we advanced in the wiring and we also started the tubing "
to the next

Re: Aw: Tt Casemod 2016 II : Wine cooling #26
hello
- "hello! "
what are you doing with this tool?
- "it is a special glass drill"

Resized Image

but I don't understand! we have already cut our bottle
- "one of the bottles "
one of???
- "yes! we have two bottles on this mod"
two!!!
- "on this second, we have to drill a hole"

Resized Image

- "first, we will stall the bottle so that it does not vibrate"

Resized Image

- "then we place the chatterton on the piercing point"
necessary?
- "well.... not really...."

Resized Image

and this modeling clay???
- "it is our little volcano "

Resized Image

what???
- "no! in fact it is to contain terebhentine essence"

Resized Image

ah....
- "yes, this prevents the glass from heating during drilling"

Resized Image

- "we go there quietly and we reach our goal"

Resized Image

- "we have our bottle with his little hole "

Resized Image

- "here we ripped a little...."
we have to admit that it would be better with a drill press
- "but we have not this tool ...."

Resized Image

- "then, to minimize the risk"
we manufacture a plexi guide

Resized Image

- "and voilà! wWe can set up the watercooling fitting"

Resized Image

after the bottle we have a glass too!!!
- "indeed"

Resized Image

- "but not a real glass....."
ouch! you risk breaking it by dropping it!
- "not really because it is made of PET"

Resized Image

- "we take a piece of POM"
for?
- "to install the glass"

[img]http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2017/01/06//17010601170122246614751351.jpg[/IMG]

- "to ensure the holding of the glass, we fix two screws"
more easy drilling the PET

[img]http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2017/01/06//17010601170222246614751352.jpg[/IMG]

- "yes! as much for larger holes"

Resized Image

- "the advantage is that we can screw the fitting"

Resized Image

- "after reflection we position the fitting lower"
luckily we took several of these glasses

Resized Image

as regards the sealing???
- "we test it with success!"
good
- "but for the bottle, we need mastic adhesive"

Resized Image

- "and we let dry...."

Resized Image

- "we have another surprise!"
really?
- "yes! the grape comes from the vines"
yes....
- "we will take this vine for the mod "

Resized Image

- "a small fastener to ensure the top of the vine"

Resized Image

- "and we place it on the backstage"
I understand why you said that cable management would go to the background

Resized Image

- "we worked on the vine to be able to house the bottle"
like this

Resized Image

- "the glass takes place just below the bottleneck"

Resized Image

I move back to get an overview

Resized Image

- "while Cuc 'takes care of the tubing, I finish the bridge SLI"

Resized Image

- "hard tubing : OK"
don't worry, the circuit is independent of the main circuit

Resized Image

- "yes! we have a second loop for the hardware watercooling"
and we work on the different parts of the tubing....

Resized Image

some cuttings ....

Resized Image

- "and some tests ..."

Resized Image

before filling and leak test
- "see you"
