WD Crimson





 
Description 
This is my current scratch build project "WD Crimson", it's an inverted 90 degree motherboard design that uses an ATX motherboard, SFX PSU and 240mm CPU cooler displaying its hardware in a unique way while also with an emphasis on space efficiency, dimensions being 403mm Long x 385mm High 210mm Wide. 
Specs
i5 6600K GTX 1070 EVGA FTW Z170 EVGA FTW 16GB EVGA RAM Silverstone SFX 600W PSU Thermaltake RIING 140 and 120mm Fans Corsair H100i GTX 3Tb WD Red and 120GB Intel 535 SSD ______________________________________________________________________
 
So far I have Completed the designs, cut the lengths, filed the lengths, and scribed the markings. I'm currently drilling pilot holes at 3/32".






 
Next up is tapping then test assemble.
I'd Love to hear your input on the build.

I've made a fair bit of progress since last.

A lot of sawing,

filing

and the edges sanded smooth.




Drilled perforation holes for the PSU to breathe.


Made a basement wall as well as a bottom panel.

Painting is up next.

Freaking fantastic!

Will start designing and so on over the holidays, if it is worth it and if i decide to do it, i will put a build log on here.   maybe I even remember to tag you  
My ideas are based on the cases @Willy Dijo made, will be standard ATX unless I'll find some sponsors because I would replace my current case, which i really love but I really like the idea of a selfmade case and would be a nice project for the free time i have around march.
I took a look at casekings website, but they have all plugs and things EXCEPT these particular plugs for the front I/O, in particular the plugs for power/reset button. But i didn't find them anywhere...

Would be awesome
electrically those IO  buttons and switches are very simple, and a variety of switches and buttons can be used.  But if you search for a special style or kind of button/switch you will have to search  
 
could you post pictures of those plugs maybe? 
I found some sets like this :  https://www.caseking.de/lian-li-pt-sk03b-power-reset-taster-geli-474.html but obvious it´s not what you are looking for
 
I will check it out
 
--> why I will never overcome myself to get a new case it was my first one and I researched for days to find the perfect case back in those days 

Thank you to everyone that followed and commented on the build, it made the process all the better!
 
The build is now complete, and I have just finished assembling the system. Cable management in this build turned out to be quite a challenge but worth it in the end, I also like that the PSU is half the length of the case.

Since last update I have sawed and filed designs into all the right angle aluminium.

The lengths were sawed close to the scribe lines, then rough filed, then fine filed, then sanded smooth.

I like how clean this fan grill area turned out, too bad it wont be seen.


The H100i's tubing looks real nice but they are a bit of a hassle to work with.

Next up is making the 3mm aluminium front and back plates.

Since last update I have been painting the cases aluminium. I had quite a setback in that I used "Paint + Primer" paint and after I finished the paint then started to assemble the case I found the paint did not stick to the aluminium, and I had to scrape, thinners and sand all the paint off and start again.



Ford Octane Orange is the orange I'm using and also flat black.

I've still got a bit of paintwork to touch up, then its build photos.

I just finished making the GPU mount and acrylic panels for the case.

This is a guide that came in handy with stopping the drill bit walking from the marking.

I found a easy way of doing these kinds of cuts, First scribe a line along the longest part, then use a coping saw to cut the shorter lengths
then snap and file, this saved a lot of time especially when cutting the air intakes.

Drilled a spot for the power button, its at the rear above the motherboard IO.





Nearing complete, next up is paint.
 

Thanks guys!

Since last update I have been working on the rear panel and filing more of the case.


Each hole was 7mm apart and later drilled to 1/4 inch.



Next up is making the acrylic side panels and basement divide.
 

Looks great Willy!
