ooo, looks nice :cool:

Is that a custom made PSU? on that CM 600w PSB you got from the kabadhi wala?
 
Yaap it's the same burned CM 600 PSU... I tested it for whole two weeks in a file server running (i7 based, 6gb DDR3, 8 HDDs, HD4650Gfx, HAF-932 with all fans ). 24/7 no issue at all... So now i can use it..

All of this is really impressive. You have great knowledge about computer hardware, material(s) fabrication, electronic circuits, programing, and WOW...what innovation. Keep it up. Will follow this thread. Thanks for sharing this. Really great.
 
Wow! Awesome! I remember going through your last thread. There was also a DIY fan controller thread somewhere if I remember correctly. Anyway, great effort man! :)

Let’s see how PSU looks inside the case…

Finally in evening went to scrap yard for 120mm fan grills.. And got two grills for an old Xerox machine..
Little rusty…but no worry I will paint them black.
Installed the power button , power and HDD LEDs.
Also front USB & headphone jack socket. Don’t like microphone pin in front so removed it.

There is something missing..Yes “Restart button.†I also removed it.. cos my naught 3.5years old daughter loves to press it whenever I am working on the PC. So no more naught Restarts.

rakesh amazing work man

im also working on making my own acrylic case so if its ok id like to ask a few questions

1) how do you bond or join the acrylic sheets together?

2) when u drill holes in the sheets how do you do it without cracking them??

3) do you use a dremel tool???
 
UPDATE:- 27th Jan 2010

Thanks for asking.

I join Acrylic sheet using 2mm diameter wood screws.
For holes use small angular head 1.8mm drill bit, drillling with low rpm and water coolling the drillbit..(Use spong with water) It is very important to cool the drill bit cos it high temperature acrylic will melt resulting it will break the drillbit and you ends up with piece of drill bit inside the acrylic sheet.

My tools are standard electric drill machine and few fils.. that's it.

One suggestion. Acrylic sheet is costly. Better first sharp your skills by making a small acylic pencil holder, before going for full case build.
Exact measurement and proper planing is the key to success.

Best of luck.
