AIO for Computex 2016 by F.A.T.

[F.A.T.]

 

An urgent one for Computex!!!
Not a normal case this time but the Gaming 27 6QE all in one from MSI
Inside is a desktop i7-6700, GTX 980M and a Full HD touchscreen

Very exciting and challening because there is not much space inside and it all needs to be finished within 2 weeks....

 

 

So quickly start cutting!!!

 

 

 

And the plastic cover also with the help of Dave

 

 

Now you can see the hardware!

 

 

Almost like a laptop but with a desktop i7-6700

 

 

 

We had to take off the foot because it was in the middle. In the next update we will make a new foot so he can stand up again

Welcome!

Looks cool, the only thing I am concerned about is the 27" touchscreen that is only Full HD.

Touchscreens usually mean the user is supposed to be up close and interact with the screen, can you confirm DPI is not an issue? I would prefer QHD resolution but then again would a 980M be sufficient for a Gaming computer...

Ahh... it's always about compromises (:

 

Also is that AIO built by MSI or you as a person or you as a group of people that do it for the lulz or you as a group of people that do it financial reasons? I am confused...

Just wow. Good job!

Thanks!!

I totally agree, but the Full HD works out nicely. It is an IPS screen and it looks very good!

QHD would of course be better, but well... you can't have everything ! 

The touch screen BTW is super handy for work related stuff for gaming it is less interesting, but maybe in the future it will add an extra dimension to gaming ...

Yes, they do indeed! That was one of the reasons we wanted to open this thing up !

 

Aaand another update!

Last update we cut open the back of the aio but also lost its foot……☺  
So we make a new one! This was a bit tricky as there is very limited space and you cant just drill a hole for a screw for example. The whole thing is also pretty heavy!

Luckily we had some steel lying around that has roughly the right shape already. Step one is cutting it in pieces:

 

 

Folding the corners and edges

 

 

This is the way it’ll be fixed to the frame

 

 

 

 

And then we started cutting the first pieces with the lasercutter!

In this update you will see the style of the mod. It has to go with the msi-gaming style with ofcourse the dragon. Pixel is always such a great help so we brought him with us to the workshop for the first time!

He liked it but stayed very close with us ☺

 

 

The ‘other’ half of the dragon cut out in red plexi:

 

 

And if you then cover the transparent plexi with a textured black foil it will look like so!

 

 

 

Pretty classy me thinks

Aaaand another update!

 

The new stand needs a nice finish ofcourse, so we decided to cover the sides with skye leather: 

 

 

Cutting out the sidepieces

 

 

En glueing on the leather

 

 

In the meantime I installed some red LED’s from bitfenix. These are magnetic, best invention ever!!!!

 

 

 

And the very important finishing touches! 

[F.A.T.]

 

Another update!

 

First the result of the new base:

 

 

And next the plexiglass details that go on the inside of AIO

 

 

 

Quick preview

 

 

 

 

Much more details in the next update!

Thanks a lot!

 

 

Last update before the final pictures!
We wanted the outside of AIO to blend in with the inside details. To do that we cut out patterns of adhesive foil:
First black textured foil

 

 

And then details with white

 

 

Also on the front where we couldn’t mod much because most of it is glass

 

 

sneakpeak

 

 

Cutting all of the foil made me dizzy.... 

 

 

 

And ofcourse the crate!!!! Very sturdy with a hinge for the lid. Hopefully it will protect the aio during all of its travels.

Now the final pics!!!
enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It arrived safely at Computex ☺
Hope you like it!
