Custom Case (Monster2)

prob use on something else, but they not even 2 days old he he.

they look fine as fans for the bottom rads through case though.

We will see.

 

Correct M4*10mm brass screws now fitted.



offset slightly, to next holes up, to allow a bit more space near drive end, so fittings can be seen and used easier, allows for rads with bigger chambers also.

For quad rads, they need to be stealths or something to fit em in, have changed latest drawing, so new drawing, rad area is deeper, can fit Monsta rad in if required.

Not sure ill be making another case though, just to take out really minor issues.

 

Hey, got a few bits.

This is how good the split bay lines up with the 2 filports on top, if this option is used, the top bay, will be blanked off for this option, working on this.



As usual, my pics suck, case is alot whiter, etc etc.

 

Ok OK,

another pic.

A little messy obviously as test fitting etc etc, colour scheme etc,

but gives you idea of size,

This is 3 loops, will have room for more as you can see, without looking too untidy.

white coils cpu
blue coils gfx
black coils mobo.

suggesstions welcome as always, also the new reses are a touch shorter, so allowed me to secure rads in with all bolts as intended.

No doubt things could be better, but am happy so far.



oh yes, got xig clear colorific fans in top now.

Nothing in bottom as yet, well test ones

 

Very nice! Would love to have the tools and time to build a big badass case like this!

 

Amazing work, I wish I could make such things.

 

that looks awesome! am i right in assuming this case is going to have a TRIPPLE loop?!(that XSPC res supports two MCP355's if i'm not mistaken)

 

Thanks,

Yep tripple loop to start.

that xspc res, is the new new one, that is split, but without the ddc mounts,

It would be possible to use the one with ddc mounts i guees also.

Still need some d5 pump tops, to neaten out pump shelf, lots of places out of stock at moment.

 

Random pic.

Trying to get better images, still not got 2 blue ports, but have found place and ordered.

 

You'll have to weigh that beast once its done and full of fluid.

 

yeah, not sure what i could weigh it on though, cant see numbers when on bathroom scales, its big.

Was gonna take outside to take pics, but cba to lift it.

Hoping the water dont add too much, and theirs no bottom rads in either... eeeeeek.

am trying to adapt drawings, add more holes into case, to lighten it up.

 

padlo

would you be looking to make and sell these how much would u expect for one, if their as good as they look id easily pay £200 for one in pure black inside out

 

Would be a long time before i got production high enough to do for £200

This prototype, even at min labour, as i did 99% of it myself.

Cost me over £600

actual prototype cost at full pricing, would of been well over £1000.

theres 2 days solid milling work.

so at min costs, hand made, would be for that part, £800 worth of labour.

If it was fabricated, then i may be able to avoid milling.

The top and bottom panels had to be watercut, coz of thickness, thats like £200 for that alone.

Laser cutting was done at minimum costs, coz i got a special deal.

I could make it into a crappy cheapo fabricated case to bring pricing down.

However i know you guys wouldnt want that.

Idea of this case was to build a case the way it should be, solid, to avoid the off the shelf profit makers of other cases.

However i certainly have thought about producing, and was my initial plan in some respects.

So it would be possible to get it maybe to £300 without cutting too many corners.

I mean, dont forget powdercoating for 1 off setup fees was like £40 per time.

Well maybe someone could give me ideas on how to do it ?

But answer to question is as a prototype stage, cost more than i anticipated, if considering full cost.

Guess this always gonna be an issue, one man on his own type thing.

Drawings tweaked, but looks like may be only one i end up making.??????

However damienn, thanks for vote mate, means alot, that people would be interested to buy.

top/bottom... 12mm ally..... he he, thought would be better this way, rather than fabricate, could be cheaper fabricating.

Well if someone can manufacture for me for £150 a case , then would be cool.

 

yep i know triple spelt wrong.

prob gonna say Tepac or Monster2 anyway.

Oh, yes this is gonna be my new res plate to combine both reses together, dont like the standard xspc one, also will be artworked to match front panel artwork

Not at artwork stage yet.

Actually having 5 versions cut, will use best suited one.

Also a quad one, for if i use full 4 loops .

 

hmm, wasnt sure what design to have, so laser cutter (cheers Andy) did 6 of mine for me.

raw at moment obviously, waiting on delivery, will finish later. paint /artwork etc.

any suggesstions which you prefer?

 

This build is already EPIC. I call TRULY EPIC when finished.

 

Thanks mate, I do try .

Guess i need to find more hobbies eh?

hope got dimensions correct on plates, im sure i have, should recieve from laser man, Friday,

Got me d5 tops coming aswel, will tidy up the pumps and shelf a little more, im hoping.

 

Nah! You shouldn't get any more hobbies for the time being =) I'm really interested in this case, would love to see it with some loops and some nice parts inside. Even for that money I would consider buying one to be honest, it's pretty damn awesome!

 

Thanks for that, nice.

Yes whilst expensive, its fair to say, at least i have that unique factor for the case i guess, should last a while.

i guessed weight.... 40kg id say.... I know, made a hole in wall moving it about, paint survived ok though.

Asked mate, where main weight might be, he said probably from the ssd..... He He.

got blue fillports.

Ok, heres some perspective for you.

Monster1 on left, is a pretty big custom tj09.
So make your own mind up if size is too big.




I still look at it, and think what the hell have i done.

Whilst there are changes id love to make, they are done on drawing only at mo, not sure about another as yet.

I still think it needs something on the front panel, still looks a little typical pc, if ya know what i mean

maybe minimal artwork will sort that?

 

Try these.
Triple loop shown, i think looks great now got the 3d5s with tops in.

ooopps, cut blue loop to pump too short somehow, gotta redoo this tube.

have chosen facia plate also.













Try them.
