Title: NZXT "Bio-mechanical" Khaos PC
Post by: Bill from mnpctech on February 26, 2009, 04:28:19 PM
Hello everybody!

NZXT KHAOS will be modded by my shop, Mnpctech.com (http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html)

Watch my dissection on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PNgWB8UpDw&feature=channel_page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PNgWB8UpDw&feature=channel_page)

I've decided to go with the giger theme. Heres one of my favorite HR GIGER paintings, "Landshaft XIX" Theres so many details!

(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mnpctech.3dpixelnet.com%2Fpicture_library%2FNZXTkhaoscasemodlandshaftXIX.jpg&hash=0fb81d61957b961d97aadbafa583d11b3a149c40)

Heres the entire bay assembly removed from the chassis.

Whats your remedy for a headache?!

This is the housing from a small motor I found. I love the design. The skull will be hosting the system Power & Reset switches (22mm & 16mm lamptron vandal switches, w/orange leds) The mounting plate I made (below) attaches to the upper half of the skull.

NZXT Khaos panels look cool, but the hang out in the wind... Maybe keep them and do BATMAN theme mod...lol

Ohhh... it's for the ribbed plastic loom.

Pre-fitting skull and intake covers.. I need to fab a 5.25 cage above the skull, thinking I may salvage a quick release style 5.25 bay from the old chieftec dragon tower.

Imagine if the skull matte black already.. Yum, but I'm still working on detailing the skull, so it will be awhile before I paint it.

Thanks for great comments, you guys know how to make a guy feel at home  :tup:

It's been awhile since I could build something for myself. I think 3 years. My business sales have dropped like everyone else. Luckily I've got local customers like Tec_ who allow me to feed their tech addictions. I'm using this down swing to sharpen old skills, and learn some new ones

No, I'm not insulating my workshop :D. I'm using this foam to construct the cores for a new bezel, top panel and features on the side panels. These will be sculpted, then covered with fiberglass. 

Cut from beneath with a hacksaw blade, this yields the best cutting results

This weekend my focus will go back to adding more details to my friend, Skully.

My Magic Sculpt  (http://"http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=110")arrived, after receiving the wrong product, Magic Smooth. I can't blame them, the product labels are very similar. Tap's customer service is one of the best I've ever dealt with. They took care of everything quickly, answered emails, and called to follow up with me about crediting the balance on my credit card. Very friendly over the phone. They're the business I strive Mnpctech to be like.

ARTbyTROY posted an excellent comparison of sculpting compounds for case modding (http://"http://www.casemodgod.com/ModGuides/SculptCompounds/sculpting_compunds.htm"). His article prompted my decision to try Magic Sculpt.

This 1/8" thick aluminum plate will reside underneath the foam/fiberglass top panel, which later will be sculpted with proper ventilation. In this case, a BIX 240 Stealth radiator.

Thank you! Thanks for the great comments guys!

If you've ever examined giger's bio-mechincal art up close, especially his paintings.. everything is symmetrical, in one direction while every element of the design is different. Old circuitry is the only way I can describe it. Theres a massive amount of detail. I can already tell it will be overwhelming at times if I'm not in the mood. Theres just no way I or anyone else will come close to replicating his work. You can only draw upon it as inspiration for your own style.

My personal challenge with this project is that my brain likes to see everything symmetrical and matching. "Theres a notch on the left side, so there should be a notch on the right side" I have to force myself to stop thinking like this. However, I also think a lot of people neglect to see these details in his work and it doesn't matter as much I think it does.

I better live up to my Spartan title now :drunk:

I've started sculpting the insualtion foam for the bezel core. I'll be sculting the individual cubes along the sides today, I'm considering the idea of implemeting thread rod into the sides.

Keep up the good work. and I would like to ask if later on you could post like how much time have you put in to it so far. I dunno I would like to see how much time produced EPIC standards. and again Giger is one of my favorite artist.

Post by: Bill from mnpctech on March 10, 2009, 07:08:40 AM
Cool! ^

Heres the tools I use to sculpt the insulation foam, but it's always good to experiment on your own.

To cut thick foam, I use a snap-off blade utility knife.

To smooth the pieces, I use a Surfoam Shaver by Stanley Tools
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mnpctech.3dpixelnet.com%2Fpicture_library%2Ffoamsculptingtool.stanley.mnpctech.com1.jpg&hash=e8b722d42ea94f20b1b05d21f9a1ecb5ce5b85cd)

For making intricate details in the foam, I'll use an array of the tungsten carbide cutter bits from Dremel, I mainly use the #9911

I've started sculpting the bezel, I also inserted 2, 1/4" threaded steel rods today in each side of the bezel.

Theres more detailing still to come

(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mnpctech.3dpixelnet.com%2Fpicture_library%2Fradgrill.radiator.install.mnpctech.com9u.jpg&hash=675497c6bc675a13d7c8c1006fb89e2dd0cbc38d)

The bezel foam will be covered with fiberglass filler.. This is the body filler I use for all of my case mod projects. "Evercoat" fiberglass body filler, short strand reinforced with Kevlar. It dries quick! Less than 30 mins. It's stronger than Bondo, it applies smoother than Bondo and also doesn't shrink as it cures.

I attached 1/8" thick sheet of 6061 aluminum for the base, the foam bezel is epoxied onto the base. I cover the insulation pores with the Evercoat Everglass fiberglass filler, sand the cured filler by hand and use a dremel for carving intricate details. It's time consuming process, but yields a very strong piece that won't crack or chip if dropped. It will also lighted up the overall weight of the Khaos case.

Thank you! please keep the comments and feedback coming!

Next stage is to cove the foam core with Fiberglass Filler, sand that, then sculpt more features. Pondering idea for adding ribbed spines to the circular frames for the 3 intakes.

Whenever I feel like I've got a big challenge ahead of me, I look at this photo of  Ed "Big Daddy" Roth sculpting the plaster on the fairing for his "Rubber ducky" Trike ...notice plaster bags stacked behind him..Ed was the godfather of custom cars and bikes in the 50s/60s

It's one way to make custom parts, probally the cheapest, but most labor intensive.

Found time today to get outside and start the process of smoothing out the fiberglass filler.

I'm predicting another week of sanding and grinding before the surface will meet my expectations.

I'm armed with Filtered Respirator, Black & Decker Mouse Sander and 120 grit sandpaper.. Let the transformation begin!

Note: This is Evercoat brand's Everglass "Short Strand" Fiberglass Filler

Sorry for lack of updates, working on two other customized cases for clients. Need_for_Speed found this photo and sent it to me. It's the interior of a Turtle shell. It would be really cool to implement something like this somewhere into the build.

Very Nice. Bill What about that as like the Sides of the tower itself. Or maybe the top of the tower. Either way its looking badass. If Giger sees this he would be Proud. this is the First tower To really look like his art.

well i've seen a picture that someone was painting the fan while it was on, and i don't know if it was his.
and blades can be taken off very easily of you know what you are doing.

Yea that is one way but would paint get inside the fan and mess the bearing inside unless tape can cover that part.
