naaah haha. it was a piece of cake

Not for me

[Norman_the_Owl]

Good job keeping the thread on topic lads

well, im waiting for the back panel to be done and sent here, so i can cut the baby apart and stuff and i dont mind people bumping it every now and then, keeps people interested ahha

Welcome to the LukaP/Emma Blackery G SIX Case Mod, where we talk about feelings and stuff

 

And sometimes even modding jk

occasionally computers... rarely cases.

 

once in a blue moon macs

[Bsmith]

the thing is, im not sitting on my butt, i have to study. physics isnt exactly something i can just ace without practice

 

i know exactly what you mean.

(analytical science student reporting in)

 

Still is hard AF...

 

trust me, high school is easy, college/uni is, ehmmm stuff like calculating(using fresh stuff form class) velocity of an object, based on it's radius, mass and the gravity and if you are unlucky you have to calculate it in degrees/second(corner degrees)

 

/offtopic

 

waiting for dem panel, better be good for so long.

so many feels haha. or literally having, a task. sally is 60kg, she jumps with the force of X newtons. calculate the mass of the sun

hehehe, yeah sometimes it looks like that, altough better then what a friend of mine(still in high school) had to do, he had to calculate the trajectory of a planet around a double star, software aided, but still, that's high school, but then even harder then my college lessons.

well, it depends on what they did in school, what software he used, and how accurate he had to be. generally in a double star system, if you want a fast solution, you just use the CoG of the stars and their mass, and then you get a simple 2 body problem but if you want to go full on, it can get quite nasty

Don't get me started on how hard university can be. Med student reporting in.

It takes such a toll on my own mental health I've already decided to start over and become an engineer when this is finished.

 

University did let me laser cut my whole case for a mere 60 euros though. Materials included.

 

Will you go aircooling or watercooling? The G5 has been known to do both.

Id love to watercool, but i dont have money for it at all, and i dont want to have this build rely on sponsoring too much for now, i want to get it working and sexy... i do have a layout for hardline watercooling planned though

[BulkFish]

Subbed. Keen to see how this turns out.

So your whole case is made out of acrylic glass?

[ManWithBeard1990]

No, mostly MDF, but all of it is laser cut. If you have access to a lasercutter, it's one of the most versatile tools out there.

 Ah I see and yeah I also study @ KULeuven so I can use the fablab

So, can i employ you two to get me some parts lasered, when ill need it in the future? (you do aluminium/steel right?)

Well you know, the owners aren't comfortable with processing materials they have no experience with and these lasers are only moderately powerful. I think they can engrave aluminium but not cut it. Also, the ablated material may be harmful for the mirrors of the machines they use (Trotec Speedy 300). They sell materials they can cut, including wood, mdf, cardboard and acrylic, but if you need other materials done they'll be hesitant. There's a whole box of abandoned vinyl LP's there for example because the vapours that the material gives off might (as in probably will) damage the machine. You see, as soon as a lot of smoke is released it clings to the mirror and the laser will burn right through it. Maybe you should check if your uni has a FabLab. They just might, you know.

we dont. the other faculty does, the one for engineering but they want money for it.  

 

ill see what ill do when ill need acrylic done

[Guest]

One of the sexiest cases ever made! This'll be awesome.

[LukaP]

guess whats coming in 9-10 hours (hint: its metal, and custom made)

[sperkowsky]

so what are you going to do with it out of the norm.

*hums to self*

Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6. Like a-like a G6.

thanks now I have that song in my head .going to play it so my wife can suffer with me

Haha, it's a quite catchy song.
