Re: Project: 900D Monster Xtreme

Hi Guys, I worked on the main body of the project, that WAS the 900D. In particular I worked at the top, the bottom and the fan front block. Here's how the 900D front looked initially, I removed the fans and their supports, some of that were just screwed others welded (removed later), I finally removed the side flaps down. I'm then passed to the top of the case designed for 4 120mm fans but where I want to put 4 140mm. I I put the paper tape on the surface and I placed one of the aluminum support, that I had done to fix the RAD to the cooling towers, secured in place with two clamps. In particular, you see that side of the space is really accurate and I had to sacrifice 0.5 cm opening because there was no space. In particular, you can see that in the side doesn't advance space and I had to sacrifice 0.5 cm of the opening because there was no space. With the template in place I drilled and marked the outline of the shape, I removed and I went to cut it. Here is the result and the removed parts . I used the file and here is the final result with 140mm fan in place. At this point I went to work on the bottom, I disassembled the 3 mounts for the Bay and the PSUs feet. And here is the 900D bottom, some of the holes fall precise on my holes but it should work .. I put the paper over the entire surface and positioned the template blocked by two clamps as above. I drilled and marked the outline of the shape on the paper; I removed it and cut. Here is the result and the part removed, usually working with two files from the iron. There remained only one part where I had to intervene, the 120mm fans front supports welded . Two shots of dremel, usually work of file and here is the front with the support removed.

another update, as first thing I fixed the central structure over the 900D and between the 2 Cooling Towers using 25mm screws and nuts. I fixed the structure with clamps so that it was in correct position. I have marked the points where do the holes, drilled, passed the screws, initially thought to fix it down even to the 900D but it is not necessary. And here is the result, notice how the parts are perfect on top Remains the central part where are 4 140mm fans. I started always from a profiled of 2.5 cm x 200 cm, I cut to size using a Dremel to 55.6 cm and I did a placement test. I fixed the 2 bars in place with clamps, I marked the drill holes so that the screws don't obstruct tthe later step and I screwed with 20mm screws And here is the final effect Disassembled the entire structure I returned to work on the central body more easily. In particular, I started working on the side supports for the 4 140mm fans. In the 900D here are 4 120mm fans so I must saw itaway and rebuild custom. I used L 25X10 mm profiled , I cut to size (55.6 cm) using Dreme, a bit of file and now I try only the positioning. With the fans between the two profiled the effect is that, the profiled have yet to be finished, but this is the next time!

I have accumulated so many leftovers that I have a small materials warehouse, considering the measures 160 x 150mm and adding a margin of 20 mm on each side, that then I'm going to bend inward to secure everything to Cooling Towers. I had own the aluminum sheets of 200 x 200 mm. I put the paper tape marked at 190mm, cut and filed, all 4 panels. I reported the project drawing on the face covered with paper tape, showing both contours that openings. I removed with the dremel the parts; actually for the circular hole I wasn't prepared, in this case I removed roughly with a Dremel, at the end proved to be very effective the file (which has a side semicircular), and my hand surprisingly suited to the movement and I placed Aquatube and Filter. I marked the holes for the screws, easy thing for the filter, much less for Aquatube ..... As always, I took the opportunity to have the piece mounted for testing the final structure of the piece.

I have therefore better equipped me, I found two cups 64mm and 60mm, here I make a comparison with the hole in the old piece with the hole of 64 mm You will not believe but the 64mm cup, which seems perfect, makes a hole too wide, where I haven't margin to fix the hole with the file, also because there are the mounting holes around. Instead of the 60mm cup, who leaves 2 mm on each side to remove the file by hand with give a perfect result! I have redesigned support putting the filter behind with the attacks upwards, I opted for a square hole to fit the screws holding the glass. I modified a bit the technique used previously, I drew the design on the panel, made a hole in the center of the circle, used the 60mm cup for the circular opening and the Dremel for that square. A big file work to remove several mm in both holes, I must admit that I'm re-evaluating much of the file work, you can obtain a considerable accuracy. For the mounting holes for the filter there are no problems just mark them, for acquatube this time I was much more accurate, I have done a in holes calque with a paper and pencil and then I cut the inner circle corresponds to the size of the glass. And here is the result, after subtracting 2 cm margin to fold for fixing, the 3.5 cm will allow me to put the 90° connector or make a turn with tube. One particular thing I want to highlight this project is that I have to make the pieces more times: towers are 2; supports for the Monsta are 4; the supports for the 4 fans are 4; openings for 4 fans in the case are 2 and so on. Also in this case found the method and made the piece, in reality I must do 4 of its. I used the first made as a template, I fixed with clamps, marked in pencil, mark the center of the circle, drilled with the drill, and then I used the same technique used previously. and two And 3, and 4 But it wasn't so easy, I have therefore accumulated some wrong pieces , but I had the satisfaction of seeing the look without the paper and film.

That thing is either going to take down the local power grid, or the Servizio Meteorologico will come after you for altering local weather patterns with that many fans. Very nice.

Meanwhile, inspired by the legendary (and crazy) Bill Owen of Mnpc Tech (do you know him ? ) I designed to realize removable grille covers on all the houses of this kind: However, I haven't found in Italy the perforated sheet such as that used in the work by Bill (with 4 mm hole, 5 mm pitch, Offset of 60°, 1 mm thick, preferably aluminum), in huge quantities and good price. I then found an Italian site, OIB, which makes customized metal sheets and I've ordered a huge quantity, 4 mq cut into 4 sheets of 1 x 1 m. I also designed the several aluminum frames to be ordered from lasermio.it The sheet ordered by OIB, that fully meets expectations, notice the difference with the one found in the hardware chain, the % full / empty is very different: and cames the parcel from lasermio with frames

But we move on to the creation of the famous grids I cut and clean the perforated sheet mesh put in place and glued with bi-component And here's the first grid ready! Bro was so much that I wanted to do it ! this idea was born even before the project's Mod, thanks to Bill Owen for having unleashed the monkey! Some tests On the outside I have perfected a couple of details which I was not satisfied I then placed the outside grill, blocked, drilled and fastened. I went to take care of the grids of the 2 single fans positioned on the bottom of the 2 Cooling Tower : both internal grids: and external: And here is the result of 4 grids the internal and the external I'm then going to try them in their final position and then positioned it on Coling Tower, remember that this is the bottom, the tower is upside down in the picture I wanted to reassemble the Monsta 560 to see the real dimensions. Here is the Coling Tower with the Rad mounted and bottom fans block mounted. To position the grid I had 2 options, higher than 2 cm wire of the section, it would seem more beautiful and clean as a solution but it is very close to the RAD and didn't convince me much or lower than about 2 cm above the base, this solution leaves few cm above, it has the disadvantage that the screws of Coling Tower clutter up and that the grid could touch the fan's fixing screws. I chose the second solution, however, and I went to modify the grids The grid at this point fits perfectly between the profiled in the bottom of the Cooling Tower The grid is however so in contact with thefan fixing screws I have, however, planned to use the rubber adhesive under the grids to prevent vibration, so I thought if I put 2 layers instead of 1 maybe they are sufficient I then tried And it work. I am then passed to fix the grids to bottom cover of Cooling Tower, but I had to move a couple of screws on the main piece

I then moved to take care of the grids that cover the side fans blocks, I did some tests to verify that placement of the grid was correctly centered, I also need to take measurements for draw a cover plexy panel that I want to put under the grids. I also positioned the 900D original windowed panel in his normal position, as I knew this forces me to move down my grid of 1.5-2 cm. I then decided to move the panel higher than about 2 cm, however, on top of I'll mount an extension of the case. But let's build the structure where I will fix these grids I also mounted fans I drilled in the 4 holes at the corners of the frame And I mounted the frame of the future grid so that it was centered both with respect to the case that the fans The screws are only temporary and will be replaced by chrome the blind nuts I'm then moved on to do a similar operation for the front To take the measures I then placed a fan in the support I also went ahead with the various grids, I'll spare you the whole procedure, the same as last time: perforated sheet metal cutting to size, filing, sandpaper, cleaning, positioning and glueing with bi-component. Here is the result of the lateral grids And the front grilles As you know I want to use chrome blind nuts to secure everything in sight, the provision of these nuts become so important to the final appearance. I then thought of a way to use something other than the screws, and I thought of this: a screw with a hex head on the section to be glued and covered by a tie bar, here's a test that I did quickly I fixed these covers waiting to put under the screws at a later time. I prepared the sections L and smoothed structure (including bolt heads) to which I wanted fix it and I went to fix them along the corners where I'll put the screws to secure the plexy and the grid Same thing on the top The idea is to make on the structure only few holes

If you read the presentation in the first page you know that the first to sponsor my project are my friends C3r34L KilL3rs and Tombino- of EXTREME MODDING FACTORY And with them I will build the various covers in plexy, I started doing a some drawings in autocad and I have to thank them once again for the availability and support even with pieces of test! and the critical part of the front where there is Aquatube and Filter by Aqua Computer A some settings mede by C3r34L KilL3rs of EMF And then, the legendary C3r34L KilL3rs at work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EziuUM6mS8 And here is the final result for this test piece Thanks BRO !

Meanwhile C3r34L KilL3rs from EMF going to quote and correct the drawing that I had sent him I then went in person to one of the secret locations of EXTREME MODDING FACTORY , where I finally met the legendary C3r34L KilL3rs that welcomed me and brought meinto the Modder's Land of Toys. And in the end we have developed a prototype perfect! We repositioned the openings about 2.5 cm higher and the overall look is finally perfect Finally I want to give you a treat, two photos stolen from the secret site of EXTREME MODDING FACTORY in the middle of our brainstorming
