Iron Man Mark I Mod

Hey Guys this is my first post on the forum so I dont really have any idea of what I'm doing but here it goes.

 

I recently played around with some pretty bright LEDs and an Arduino and figured I would try to rebuild the Iron Man Core from the first Movie (where it's still round and not weirdly triangular).

It turned out pretty decently so I went ahead and bought myself a Dremel-Tool and cut a hole into the Front of my Fractal R4. I then put in the "Core" and you can see in the pictures what it turned out like. It has several "Modes" to it, one is just your standard breathing effect, then there is one where the outer rings go spinning around and another one where the lights flicker randomly. If you guys are interested in it leave a comment, I could try to upload a video of it to Youtube so you can see it. It has a pretty cool initial start-up sequence to it that is inspired by the movies.

Here you can see how it was build, yes that is cardboard  :rolleyes:

Halfway there

LEDs all soldered in place and with the acrylic cover over top

The Fractal R4 Door in 2 pieces, I cut the hole in the inner one first so I could just put it all back together without anyone noticing in case something goes wrong  :ph34r:

This is the sound dampening foam they use on the inside

Here the Core is in place and the wiring is done. As you can see I ran a long USB cabel from the Arduino out of the bottom of the case and it can plug into the back. This way it gets power and I can also change the code with ease should I ever desire to add another lighting mode or anything
