LetsGetIt1220

Herroooooo everyone. It is almost time for Insomnia I55 in august 2015 and before Computex 2015 I have been asked by Thermaltake Europe if I was interested in doing a project for them to put on display. :thumb:
Of course my ego was all over the place and I was hovering 50cm above the ground as I love doing these projects and I love being asked by brands so I said F**K YEAH!
The project was quite straight forward: we use the new Suppressor case, add all parts Thermaltake does like fans, PSU and all of their watercooling equipment and make something that is worth looking at.
Perfect assignment for men. Keep it simple. I can understand this.
I still had some hardware at home and for other stuff I contacted a few people I worked with before. And before I knew it this thing was on a roll.
I need to finish this project like 2 weeks from now. So I figured I should start a log about what I have been doing for the last couple of weeks since I have everything.
This will be a short log I think with rather large photo updates. I hope you will enjoy.
 

 
First of all I want to thank Thermaltake and Martin in particular for the opportunity.
I have a bunch of photos of the unboxing of the new case ending in a photo of the front panel being taken apart both with the screwdriver and a saw to create something I will show you later on
 
Don't worry there will be a LOT of modding involved in updates coming later on.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
OUT!!! All of you!!!
 

 
I have a rather cool (I hope) idea for the front end. I want to keep the lining and shape of the original case intact but still make its appearance different.
 

You've already allowed me to take peeks at the progress so I am excited for the next session of photos
Can't wait to see how you modded the front!

I had previously posted this elsewhere Next week I should have an updated pic which will be replacing the Laptop with a X99 based system with a Core V51 and Water 3.0 Ultimate among other things
 
 
 

 
And yes, most of that is normally on that litlle old desk lol. The only thing that isn't normally there is the P1-Pro but that was on the pull out for the keyboard so threw it into the shot
 
PS - this was a Tt Dude selfie, he wouldn't allow me to join in

Build log introduction
 
About the modder and build.
 
Welcome, my name is Ian Duncanson i am a 26 year old modder from victoria Australia i have been building and working on computers since i was 15. This is my third fully custom pc and one i wish to showcase, so lets begin.
 
The concept -
 
Simply with the age of ikea and the ability to customise along side the rise of the desk builds i have decided to design and build a desk based upon one of my favorite cases the thermaltake core x9. Now having built a previous desk before i know to an extent whats needed (my original build was a rush job so i had somewhere to play games and best utilise the limited space i had). The necessary goals to a great desk concept are outlined below and are my goals for this build.
 
Another note about me, im not the best when i comes to 3d drawing and renders so i do the majority by hand its never great but it give me what i need to work with.
 
this space is reserved for our sponsors starting with:
 

Thermaltake, without the faith that quite a few of their staff have put in me none of this would be possible. they have and will be supplying me with cases fans/controllers and watercooling gear
 
 
Goals:
 
- Fully modular desk solution
- core values (moddable, versatile, astetically pleaseing)
-light weight but strong.
 
Design-
 
The design is simple, 5 modules (2 x core x9 cases with 3 custom modules forming a desktop) the desk will be constructed out of aluminium and parts of a (few) damaged core x9's the custom parts will he powdercoated white to closely match the original cases.
 
Heres a couple of those sketchy drawings i mentioned disregard the measurements these changed many times upon realising i had inadvertantly rushed my measurements.
 

 

 
So we will be begining the construction and finalise the design on the fly. An old war saying is that every plan is a good one till the first bullet flies.
 
But first a very big thank you to some of my friends for the community, the support you have shown even at the early stages has been phenomenal and for that i thank you.
 
My first order arrived from thermaltake australia the other day i posted an unboxing ceremony on my facebook page (http://facebook.com/ianduncansoncomputermods)
So i will skip this one as im sure you have all seen this beautiful case before.
 
Ok so maybe one or 2 photos
 

 

 
 
Now as much as i love the front grill design for what im doing its too hard to have replicated locally i was quoted over 300 dollars for material and cutting for a full sheet and i only need less than half of one :/
 
So another popular idea occured i will still have the front panel as a whole just not the mesh... so instead i have started to organise some dark tint perspex to be delivered for the build. But im getting ahead of myself.. but more to come soon

I've just been running some tests in the lab.

Lol I thought you were looking at the image above and asking about the LED inside the case.. I personally never hook up the hard drive or power button LED and honestly forgot all about them, my apologies
