And here we go again.
More parts arrived.

After a lot of brainstorming my whole idea changed for this case.

Going for something more compact then the original with just parts from the original.

A lot of measuring.

And some changes needed

First drilling and sawing can start

Looking good Peter. I'm rather enjoying your build over the others and here is why. You are actually modifying the stock case into a different configuration instead of creating some weird awful monster case that in no way resembles the original P90. Looking forward to seeing the end result. (btw white liquid imo) :)

Thanks, really appreciated :)

I have to say, with contests my goal never is to win anything but just create something I would want on (or as) a desk.
I'm actually quite a slow modder because of family and work go first and that I always need things in my hands before I can do anything,
Also because of the contest rules like updating every week AND have it finished by the 22nd of February (incl final photoshoot)
I completely changed my original idea. First idea was to make a benchtable.
So with the limited time for the build and buildlog I went for something any one could actually make without adding extra weird / custom fabricated parts.
Just a drill, grinder and jigsaw. And fun thing is .. even I don't know what the result will be in 9 days. Just go with the flow!

So .. still figuring out how to hide all the cables with this open design :unsure:

Also decided to re-use the original glas panels, however I will shorten the steel poles from 190mm to 95mm so the glas panels will have a 2mm spacing.
Inception!

As time is limited and I didn't want to do it by handsaw used the grinder at work.

Love sparks!

Almost there!

 

Some extra protection for the glass panels.

Like a charm

Still had the panel scews from a previous project and wanted the same look on the top as the front.

58%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

Had to re-drill and tap the mounts to M5

59%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

At first I had the idea to mount all cables and controllers on the back outside.
Even though we're at a deadline I decided to change it completely and hide all cables inside too.
And while I'm at it .. sleeve the pump cables too.

60%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

So had to dismount everything to be able to change the fans and their wiring.

61%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

And it's back inside. Now to hide all this.

62%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

All fans and RGB connectors hidden, Now just the power cables.

63%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

Decided to create some more construction/stability on the bottom of the case in case it ever needs to be shipped. And more cable-hiding possibilities.

Seriously hate these splinters :lol:

66%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

67%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

And there we go, exactly as I wanted it.

68%20%5B2560pxl3pTt%5D.JPG

 

Time to fill it up! :wub:

Three days to go, such a tight schedule, always exciting to see if the hardware survived through the 'process' :D
So happy to see the bios at first boot :wub:

Now to install OS and turn off rainbow effects. And then ... hopefully final pics!
