bro..is it a requirement to have them in photos? I think it is better to have the project documented in vlog format.

Compulsory requirement to have it in forum.
Photos is the easiest mean.

I am back!!!

Here are some update on the ongoing works for my entry.

Prep some space just for the project so i dont mix up things.

Removing all the rivets that attached the mobo tray with the case

Putting stuffs before i start to cut things.



the psu design really match the case. i ll do some minor touch up on it later on

Starting to cut the main chassis







Seems like the steel used for the case is quite thick.
It took some time to cut the case even by using an angle grinder.

Meanwhile at the welding workshop. Can only opt for this workshop currently.
Using amateur helps to speed up the progress.
p/s they didn't allow me to used their machinery.

More images!!







Seems like safety comes last for them.

Hi guys.
Sorry for taking time to updates the worklog.

Had to learn welding slowly since it s my first time doing it.

Here you go.

Sanding the weld joints using angle grinder with 300 grit sand paper.



The original design is altered due to some restrictions.



Workmanship quality is still acceptable





Design for modularity i ve create flat frames where all the frames can be attached and removed without much hassle.
Trying IKEA style furniture.

This tube bending kits do helps alot.
easy to work with.




Decided to paint the PETG 16mm tube to flat black.
For stealth looks.




Finally can work on the acrylic parts.






Covers for the stands.
2 layers plate. One is flat black another one below is clear for led effect.

Assembled the frames.
Not really sturdy since there are few gaps in between the frame.

Covers and panels fitting test.




The Desk




2 layers for LED effect




The Mean Machine.




Left and right stand covers.

Back to the welding workshop.

Adding more frame.
Triple monitors frame mount.








Adding support bar for the desk.
Seems like the acrylic is to thin and wobbling without the support bar in the middle of the frame.




Done

Grinding and sanding the weld joints.






Stand up!!




Received a box of goodies!!




Loads of Tt eSPORTS madness inside it!!




Will pair the desk mod with this awesome gaming chair.

Moving to main chassis.
As previously posted i ve cut half of the original chassis
Gonna replaced it with this steel bars.






Basic structure.




Added more steel bars.

Motherboard tray using 8mm acrylic.






Fitted it but it required some tweak and adjustment

Adding more frames.
Since the setup gonna have 2 systems, i ve decided to make it as dual gaming station.
One with seat and another one is standee style.








Best modding tools ever.




Work till late night. 4am in action.



The steel bar holder. gonna attached the bars to the case with 3/4 inch screws.
Decided to weld the nuts and washer then weld it on the bars.

Paint job time!!!!!

Gonna paint all the bars and frame to 2k matte black paint.

Putting everything in place to make sure that everything fit together.




Special thanks to Vewsonic for supporting this project with 3 x 24" lcd and 1 x 27" lcd.

Watercooling parts assembly








2 Systems.

Non identical twin

The Monsters before finishing






Testing the position and fitting mechanism.
Should be okay




The other side of the machine, the standee.

Now the monsters with watercooling setup done.
Matter black tube (painted) with tilt fans and radiators.






Tt eSPORTS gears certified gamig machine




Finally the whole systems.






Thank you Thermaltake team for making my hands dirty.




And best regard from me Irie Ahmad, to all the rest of the contestants.
GOOD LUCK and ALL THE BEST!!

All the best Irie !
