Vintage Reborn

[Owndblood]

NICE, wow I love the pictures!

Thanks!

 

Using a speaker grill is a good idea. It will restrict your airflow a bit, but as long as you don't overclock it's ok.

Go on, it looks awesome!

Yeah, but won't be having any super high end CPU and I will for sure have an "overkill" cooler for the CPU so I think it'll be fine

 

 

Srsly doe! I follow plz update moar plz

Sorry for not updating! have been so busy with school but a new update will be out by the end of this week <3

 

Looking good

Thanks!

Directly I'll start with saying I'm terribly sorry for not updating the build logs for almost a month. I've been having it really rough in school and life overall, so I haven't been able to put any time aside to working on the radio, but it's not all bad, I went to the second biggest LAN in Sweden called Birdie and showcased my Project Chernobyl in a modding event!

But I've manage to get some things done, all the custom aluminium brackets that acts as cover plates have been fastened as well as all the cables for the computer.

I had to solder the copper cables for the speakers to make them stick to the speaker as they didn't quite fit the speakers cable holes.

All the audio equipment has been tested and is working like a charm, thought I think the sound will gain a lot more depth after I've put the whole radio back together to create some resonance.

 

What's up next is fastening the motherboard plate, fastening the fan grills to the CPU cooler, fastening the amplifier and doing some cable management with the cable clips!

Here are some quick pictures.

 

 

My sweet P-clips box that I will be using to fasten all the cables.

 

As you can see both the custom plates and cables are fastened down.

 

At last some pictures of the cables.

Hello there! there hasn't been a lot of updates recently but now as I'm free from school for a few months I'm getting back to work again. This will just be a text update as I will be posting a bigger update next week and I don't feel that it's necessary to post pictures on the minor changes that has happened. But I can tell you components will start rolling in over the coming weeks so we can finish this project!

I've also purchased a new objective for my camera, it's a 50/1.8 Nikon objective so you might notice a bit of a change in the photographs that will be posted.

Update time!

Been a while since the last update, I had some problems with the shipping company so my computer parts were slightly delayed, That's why the update is a bit late, but the parts are here now!

I've got a lot of things coming for the next update, here's a short list:

Fastening the motherboard tray

Mounting the amplifier

Fix up the cable management

Mounting the PSU
Fastening the HDD ans SSD

Fastening the panels

 

Now for the new parts that came in!

MSI Z97i AC

1TB WD Green

Samsung EVO 850 120GB

 

CPU and RAM will be purchased within a few weeks.

Onwards to the pictures!

 

 

The next update should be out within 1-2 weeks, we're on the final strectch! stay tuned.

This is interesting, you're doing well.

This is interesting, you're doing well.

Thanks! I really appreciate these comments.

Good news! BeQuiet decided to step in with a brand new Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler as the one I had was quite beat up, had no fans and no mounting hardware at all.

 

 

The update came earlier than expected! I got a lot of work done during the past days so I decided to push out the update for you guys! I'm really excited because the build is actually starting to look like a computer, Sorry in advance for the photobombing that is coming but I really wanted to show all the aspects of the build as I think I haven't really showed you guys the whole build yet.

 

 

 

The new Z97i AC motherboard suits the build perfectly!

 

 

The little Lepai amp up in the top for easy access.

 

 

 

So for a summary I can say that the build is coming very close to the finish line, most of the vital parts are mounted and most of the to-do list is checked off.

There's only a few things left to do,

soddering a custom PSU cable for the AMP and PSU

Mounting the PSU

Purchasing CPU and RAM

and polish up the panels a bit so it looks fresh

 

See you next update!

It has been incredibly fun to work with this project and I have really appreciated all the feedback, good or bad. A lot of things happened the past days that I unfortunately didn't have time to document, loads of custom cables have been made, some aluminium mounting brackets and the radio has been refurbished, I gave the inside of the radio a new splash of black paint to replace the old, chipped and poorly applied paint that was already on it, I also took the time to clean out all the instruments, at last I polished up all of the wooden panels on the radio to give it a more refreshing look, and I think it turned out great!

 

A big thanks to everything that has followed this project the past months, I would also like to thank my amazing sponsors.

 

 

onwards to the pictures!

Hehe the computer isn't going to be used for gaming or anything video demanding so I chose to go without GPU.

Awesome.

Hello everybody! It's been a while, I went ahead and did a few more modifications to the system to prepare for the Dreamhack Casemod championship that I took part in, and I felt that I should update you with some new pics showing off the new modifications!

 

Best regards,

August Lindgren
