I want to thank everyone for following this project!
For me personally it was quite a challenge.
First of all because of the available free time I had next to my job and family.
But specially to create a 'Desk PC' below $400 of material. (2xP5 + tools + glass + mounting)
All this with standard tools like a jigsaw, drill, ironsaw, file and sandpaper.
 
So here's my contribution to the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational 2016 Season 1
 
 

 

 











 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Finally I had 20 minutes to enjoy DOOM
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
A huge thanks goes out to all followers, sponsors and off course Thermaltake for making all this possible!
 

 
ps. Should I make a little video too?

Thank you!!
 
Thank you friend !! I am very happy to please you with my work.

Lots of progress here guys! Some custom reservoirs, starting the details of the build, priming the build and working on the wings.
 
To kick things off, i measured up the mesh and used some painters tape to mark my cuts out for the wings
 

 

 
This is only one layer of mesh, there will be one layer on the inside and on the outside
 

 

 
Welded some legs to the steel rods inside the ball. The core P5 feet are made from steel so then have been welded to the legs and the plastic core p5 feet slide right over them
 

 
Starting to put a couple layers of prime on
 

 

 
Had an old reservoir so i decided to create two of my own custom reservoirs out of it. Removed the threaded part, sanded it down, and cut the tube in half.
 

 

 

 

 
I then cut out a bottom section for the two halves.
 

 
Time to Tap a G1/4 threading through the acrylic panels.
 

 

 

 
And now for the end caps, I also put a threaded hole in the end caps for an easy fill port.
 

 

 
Time to mend it all together and clean it up
 

 

 

 
Now what would a TIE Advanced be without Darth Vader himself? So I decided to vinyl our reservoirs
 

 

 

 

 
The vinyl will be getting peeled off later on. Time to prime the reservoirs!
 

 

 
A really old dead motherboard comes in handy for some detail parts, I have sourced all kinds of junk from the shed to use for details.
 

 
As you can see, by sanding the motherboard a tad, it reviles the copper circuit inside, i think its a nice touch to that inside area, also got some small pipes to add in.
 

 

 
Printed out an image of a TIE Advanced to i can circle the detail bits i have complete as i progress through.
 

 

 
Working on some of the ball detail so i need to get that curved shape into the detail so it sits flush with the ball.
 

 

 
Lots of hours later and we have some details all glued and ready to go. I used a few old capacitors/caps for some of the details.
 

 
Time to work on the top section of the ball. Measured out where i want my cuts to go.
 

 

 

 
Some more details heated up and formed into the dome shape, that mould i kept really comes in handy.
 

 
A bit of acrylic cement and this becomes a permanent fixture =)
 

 

 
The glue marks will not matter as this will all be painted =)
 

 

 
Added a couple more details so fill in the empty gaps.
 

 
And taped some mesh down to show you guys what i want to do tomorrow.
 

 

 
This mesh will be glued in place with a strong adhesive.
 
I hope you all enjoyed the progress.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi Jos214demi, and thank for your kind words. I appreciate them. yes budjetting hobbies, especially casemodding is always a certain
burden, I know that only too well. I am happy if my casmods can inspire people to realise that one can also build great themes in low budjets too. Heaven and he...... sounds good. Exactly my type of theme too. Thanks in advance for your readiness, but do look at all the cases and then cast your vote. 
here are some more pics, its still just the primer stains brown, red and then black though, will still change a lot. tomorrow some of this color will be sanded off again to reveal some of the wood and give it a used worn weather beaten look.
 
for staining I am using printer ink in my airbrush.


 

Thank you!!
 
 
 
Thank you for the positive messages in this topic. today i will  post another small work I did . Thank you all
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

Time to mount the blocks!
 

 
 
I always love these
 

 
 
2 hours later.
 

 

 
 
I'm working with several controllers for fans and lighting and want to have them in groups.
Fans - Top lighting - Bottom lighting
Need multiple cables and extensions from side to side through the 'powerbar'
 

 
 
Like this
 

 

 
 
Also want some cable managements, all extra cable out of sight in the P5
 

 

 
 
Done!
 

24 Thermaltake Riing 120 mm RGB fans fitted!
 

 
Also got the top tubing runs sorted now I have the flow meters.
 

 
Looking good in green...
