hehe, more pics I captured around the workshop This is another ongoing build, project Penta B, https://mnpctech.com/corsair-crystal-series-570x-rgb-watercooled-gaming-pc-build-rainbow-brite-case-mod.html My new obsession, Vintage Analog Audio Components One of my early case mods, Malfunction with Inwin A500 case.

this is for whoever asked if I keep the factory fans I remove from cases... This is just personal inventory at the workshop

Thats awesome, and sweet Avatar @RollinLower Fabbed a mounting bracket from 20 gauge steel for the 80mm radiator

Thank you @Pangea2017 Cutting opening for the radiator lines, finishing edges with Black u-channel molding trim

I saved two of my limited run of mad max fury road fan grills for this project, they were machined from acrylic and painted with weathered, clip below shows me dry brushing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYPwwZr-MA

The Max mod is consuming my bench space, haha. Last night I cut opening in the 5.25 bay to route the tubing from the 80mm radiator

I might just fabricate a hood as well. I made scale vette stingray cowl duct hood in 2005 with sheet metal and body filler Yesterday I cut the top panel further so I could rotate the 80mm radiator onto it's side. It just protruded too much. I want the supercharger and blower to be more of the focal point, just a little OCD? maybe... haha

I'm going to cut the top panel again and rotate radiator 90 degrees, so it's no longer protruding so high. I stumbled upon this hydraulic shock in my junk drawer and used it as support for the scale engine. I may replace it with something else if/when it feels right. btw, the supercharger in the movie could be turned on and off via an electrical switch, which isnt true in reality. They elevated the supercharger upon brackets over the engine with an electric motor, haha. The photo below illustrates the same electric supercharger setup as the movie.

Black Ice Nemesis GTX 80mm radiator may have won me over, instead of the scale generic radiator, sometimes you just gotta do things that feel right.. It also allows options for different compression fittings, versus the welded inlet/outlet ports. I've mounted the classic aluminum framed Evercool 80mm fan. I'll probably paint the fan dark grey.

What do you use for cutting small holes? I made this guide for Step Drill Bits I found Max's Falcon rim in web search attached Nikko Toyota HiLux 4WD R/C truck, but I'll check the R/C Hobby Stores Our scale V8 sitting next to Black ICE GTX 80mm radiator. This morning I found 36mm thick 80mm radiator online shown below. Suppose Flex tube loop would be appropriate.

Do you recall the Red pull switch on Max's stick shift for his Supercharger? I thought it would be fun to somehow implement it into my Mad Max tribute build. The switch is used in commercial vehicles for controlling a two-speed axle assembly. I found it on Ebay as Cole Hersee part number 50036-BX.

To emulate the rear fuel tanks in the Falcon XB, I'll be using EK-RES X3 150mm reservoirs. btw, these photos are stills from video I'm making of the entire build, once it finished for my YT channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/MonsterMawd I'm wondering if I can use clips from the movie without audio in my video? no clue...

reviews of machined aluminum version with rubber bumper, https://mnpctech.com/gpu-support-bracket/

That's location for the GPU with this do-it-yourself vertical mount. The final GPU will have water block. Next stage is modifying the top rear portion of the Enermax Equilence case to hold two water reservoirs to emulate the rear fuel tanks on the falcon XB.

Had opportunity to get back into the workshop yesterday and make some progress on my Mad Max / Road Warrior / Fury Road tribute PC build. I've decided to locate the V8 to the top panel. I'm going to mock up a 120mm slim radiator to see how it looks in front of the V8 engine and bezel. Hmm, on 2nd thought, maybe a 80mm radiator would be better scale? I still need to fabricate the proper diamond blower for the engine. The Enermax Equilence case lacks a vertical GPU mount, so I've modified the chassis for this compact ITX/MATX vertical GPU bracket, https://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/mnpctech-small-vertical-video-card-gpu-mounting-bracket-black-requires-cutting.html It's mounted on aluminum diamond plate, painted matte black. Here's a photo I found of the Falcon XB from the Fury Road movie before some stages I captured of my progress.

One of my Bucket List items was recording Erik Noren from Peacock Groove build one of his custom bicycles. He makes all of his frames and forks by hand. His bikes have won several awards and even stirred up controversy. He rides over mediocrity and loves challenging the industry with different ideas. While recently in his workshop, my eye caught an Orange Metal Flake Fat bike frame, “I want to record you building this bike!” Please share with any of your friends into Fat Tire or Custom Mountain bikes. This is the first time Erik has shared his assembly stage and it’s loaded with tips and he’s also hilarious!

Thank you @AddonCustoms those 90 degree motherboard connectors sold out first day they were listed, hopefully should have more listed soon! Edited; We've had to limit quantity you can order due to people buying 5 - 10 pieces at a time, https://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/90-degree-angle-24-pin-atx-connector-for-motherboard-mainboard.html
