Better late then never..

Indeed, hopefully it's mean it wasn't a complete waste for AMD.

That frame just looks so nice!

Also, banana for scale.

 

Haha cheers, I'll remember to stick one in for the final shots else reddit will have no clue how big it is

that looks slick.

what's the height? roughly 30-50cm?

It's 27cm tall at its highest point

That's small, considering the shape it actually might be one of the smallest possibilities for a computer system while still using from the shelf internal components.

It won't fit up your ass dude.

 

That was a joke BTW. Please do not take it seriously.

Befitting of the last update, here is another "small" one.  Admittedly this took a lot longer than I was expecting as I had to remake the panel after I messed up the first one with some dodgy measuring.  Needless to say this was quite a bit of needle file work.

 

GPU bracket included

 

 

Looks ugly at this point but is functional

 

 

Ahh see, looks better now

That little thing looks awesome!

My fave so far Alex. Are you going to get it painted? I would. Something really snazzy. Colour flip would suit it so well given its shape.

I certainly am painting it, although I don't have the time nor funds to have a shop do it, that said I've been gearing my workshop to deal with paintjobs so the finish should be good.  I did think about doing a strong colour, perhaps a two tone, but tbh it always ended up looking gaudy.  The shape is already pretty out there so having something simple like a satin white really works well.  Besides, should I get bored of it in the future it can always be resprayed without too much hassle.

 

 

Sanded smooth and ready for priming

 

 

Hung up for action

 

 

It looks rather nice in grey actually

 

 

 

 

The back looks so much cleaner now!

@Maki Role

edges looks a bit too rough in many of the pictures. Did you bother to file/sand em down before painting or is it just residue?

awesome work btw.

[nmil]

Damn, that colour scheme actually looks really nice, shame about those rough edges though.

And here we are folks, the end of the journey for Aetos.  Hopefully you'll enjoy the final results!

 

A huge thank you to AMD for commissioning the build, it would have been completely impossible without their help and support.

Found your project being mentioned by a german online magazine today: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Gehaeuse-Hardware-213436/News/ITX-Gehaeuse-aus-dem-3D-Drucker-Eigenbau-mit-AMD-Radeon-R9-Nano-1204239/

 

Impressive work. I love how the fan peeks through the mesh pattern

Good spot, thanks for letting me know!  Seems they stumbled upon the build via my reddit submissions.
