Heya guys,
I started working on this project few days ago and i thought, lets posto some of it.. Idea and startlog first
It will be a massive bulldozer looking case as a tribute for AMD and their FX series of processors...
Model 3D:
I switched from case mod to scratch build, entire bottom frame complete , also some welds needed to be fixed.. been a while since i welded anything .
Day 3, i started late, and i didnt have material for more, going to buy some more tommorow .
These 3 are just tossed sides to make it look similar to end project, there is still more to be done, these are just refference scaling pics
I am gonna have to start getting some enterior work, need to get it all together before I take it apart for painting... aslo i got some nice looking screws for estetic work... Also i will need to pick up swoop, real swoop for mini bulldozer, also i got led strips to go inside ( yellow ) i will need to calculate how to molex them correctly so if anyone could send me some link to assist me on what is the relations on lenght/molex, than i will need to get cable extenders to place ( they will be preset to the build connecting in PSU chamber ) sleeved yellow black ( also need to sleeve them, but only need to do half cuz i got black sleeved from RaidMax ). I also made some adjustments, the windscreen will be touchscreen fan controller moded to fit. Making contact connectors so i dont have to remove cables from the side pannel and so there are no cabbles... apart from the ones imbeded in the side pannel it self. grabing electric window adjuster for the top part so the entire cabbin will lift at a push of a button, exposing the components that will be underneath .
Rims for the side, the entire PC will move forward than... I will put some small wheels on the bottom of the case and move it with electric car window adjuster so it pops out when i need to do something and it will pop all the way out... Also the engine compartment will host twin modular power supply in paralel. ( side intake / front exaust ) i will need to mod it a bit so that power cable can get to it... i found angled power cable so i will first try with that one.
The mud protector will be reduced in size to 210mm to get in line with the tracks that will be 200mm
Cabbin, it will lif upwords to open the pc components, windows will be plexiglass.
That fan will be as the top link of rotor for tracks
That top turned out nice
also i figured out and i custom ordered set of these with the exact lenght and 2 rows of threads that connect them to be used as tracks
As for the paintjob goes, yellow with black stripes on some parts, details like the bolts will be black, grill will be black with RED backlight on top and bottom, also red non transparent mesh behind the grill... Cabbin i cant decide Yellow or black, but it will have yellow backlight, roof will be black, windscreen - i hope, NZXT LX. Also, for hidraulics effect on swoop i am going with rear suspension from VW Golf 6 and for the smaller ones on the bottom side, it will be suspension for 5th dour on VW Golf 6 as well... aprox veight empty, around 15-20 kilos, full around 30-35kilos. Still strugling with system that will go in, i got some of it, ( my gamer rig )... And the good news , I got a spot in the PC show in Belgrade Fair
One side complete, may look funny now odd now but over the tubes there is gonna be fan grill in shape of the gears...
Yeah its gonna be massive, after i finish 2nd side, fenders and cabbin tomorrow its painting time and after that, DETAIL TIME... also, once the swoop gets in place, the bar that goes along side the dozer will give it totally different look, ( its gonna be hazelnut board piece - extremly light wood ) also i reduced the weight by allot... its gonna be 20 kilos w/o equipment inside and w/o the swoop...
Also the mechanism for opening the case will look like this:
the middle CASE part will have wheels for easyer manipulation ...
