Update::dremel: Overnight cure and trimmed off the excess off the mold edges for a nice de-mold. A ball of the Film #10 chemical release agent. This release agent works great Popped right out of the mold! For the most part, it looks like a better finish, but there were more...

Update:dremel: I went ahead and designed the main compartment cover in Solidworks so I could better visually see what I want to do. I tried experimenting with a basic square shape but didn't like the look and I when I was using section view it produced a shape that I like. After a bit of...

Update. :dremel: I worked 18 hours and got 6 hours of sleep, so I decided to wake up on work on the bottom cover for SSR-X. I relocated down to my friends at Rex Auto Body for more space and to not stink up my entire work place. The mold still had dirt and old resin left over. A quick clean...

Update: :dremel: The stars aligned and I found all the supplies I needed locally, so I went ahead and created the top cover out of fiberglass. There will be a more extensive update, complete with video links. It will serve as a simple tutorial for modders looking to create fiberglass pieces...

Update: I began repairing the top cover mold today. Both molds got damaged when trying to release the carbon fiber covers from the molds themselves. The most likely cause of release failure was not enough coats of release agent, followed by mold design. Standard Gorilla Glue epoxy that will...

Before I get started, I want to say that I currently work 2 jobs and I'm involved in a newly "invented" wood process research project. Updates for the project won't be daily. Hopefully over the coming months the new covers will be fabricated. The molds for SSR-X were sitting on the shelf at...

Interior Photo's

Final Photo's! Thanks to: All the people and fans of the build who supported the build. The Tri-Weld company and welding the various components of the case. Biro Sales for letting me build and build over the years. Forum people over at Composite Central for all their insight. E.E.L. for...

Supersonic Stealth Reconnaissance - X-plane This build started in December of 2010 as an idea of "what if." After constructing a cardboard mock up, I took a step back and said to myself "that this couldn't be done by one person." The angles, bracketing, and internal frame is what derailed...

Hello! Oh where Oh where have I been???!!!! Modding!!! Shall we..... I needed to make a bracket or bracket pieces for the cover plate of the exhaust fan. This plate is for transport purposes. Some red acrylic that will be painted black will be handy and also save on weight...

Hello. I needed to paint the reservoir. I didn't like the bare metal look so I came up with a two tone paint design and I started to paint. I painted the bolt holes red and the body of the res. black. This gives the reservoir a edgy dark feel to it, though, in real life, the...

Hello! Progress has been steady but slow for the moment. I have been thinking alot lately about the internal styling of the components. I had an initial styling for the components at the beginning, though, with such a complex build I put this task off until the end, which, in turn has caused a...

Thanks! Ya stay tune, the build is coming to a close fast. Hopefully done by the end of the month.

Small Update: I went into the shop today and did a bunch of small things on the build. I took the covers for the intake and wanted to put some lettering on them to make them feel more authentic. I was going to put "CAUTION INTAKE" though, not enough room, bummer. I will...

Thanks!!!! Me too!! Thanks for the comments!!

Hello. Got some more work done. Took a trip to Pat Catan's craft store to get some items to try and make a stencil for lettering. I don't have a digitial plotter and the nifty adobe program so I have to go with hand-made. I bought a exacto knife and some vinyl letters along with some...

Thanks!

Hello. Got to work on the intake fan today. Designed a basic pattern. Shaded in the area that need to be cut-out Drilled and filed out the area's. The fan will be mounted from the bottom due to airflow direction and style. I got my Red 3/8" hose today!!!:clap: Throw...

Hello. It has been a moment!!! I have been modding and waiting and more waiting on part to arrive from Performance-PC's out of Florida, USA. Ya, yes the box finally arrives. My new connectors for the power supply along with pins Compression fittings. I have never used these...

Hello. I'm closing in on the completion of this build or at least it seems that way~! So updates will be here and there due to the sporadic nature of the build right now. Ok, Free Promo Time...... I went to Microcenter and bought my ASUS SaberTooth motherboard for this build. I...

Hello! Been busy with modding this week. This is a short update........ Taped off the area that needs to cut for the front intake. Close up. I need to re-fab those aluminium intake panels. Their dimensions were a little off due to the molding process of the cover...

' Thanks! Thanks! You will want to be! It is amazing! Yup, that is all Actual Carbon Fiber, not the peel and stick stuff!!!! Trying to bring awareness to building with Carbon Fiber. I can't say when and if a build like this will ever happen again, jus sayin.

Hello. The seam for where the two covers meet wasn't coming together properly in front of the radiators housings, so I had to fabricate a bracket to hold the covers together in this location. Here is the start of the bracket. Mounting bars Relative placement. These...

Hello. It has been a moment since the last update. Or at least it has felt that way! Well I have a big one for you all. Created a list of some of the things I have to do. I also started to play around with my pictures and add some text. I made a diagram of the flow direction for...

Hello. Its been a chaotic week at work for me. Got into a car accident which wasn't my fault. So took it easy yesterday and put some work in today on the build. I also tried to drum up some sponsorship still to no avail. Anyways.......... Took off one of the main brackets for sanding or...

Nice case! Though this is really not modding, it is more Design and Assembly. Letting the CNC mill do all the work.

Weekend Update Cont'd I was modding out the power supply yesterday and I switched back to the video card bracket this morning. Don't worry I did return to the power supply today also.... I took out the motherboard interface bulkhead, lets call it to start. I needed to figure out...

Will the 690 be able to fully run MAXED out CRYSIS??????????????

Weekend Update. The community is probably sick of seeing me mod out various configurations for a power supply:duh: I'm sticking to the Toughpower 1200w, so this should be it for fabrication.... Voiding the warranty! I should have started out with, "Dear ThermalTake, please forgive me...

Well, I proved that wrong! The CF will still retain its inherent properties from when it was infused because there was no loss of material so to speak

Hello. Started to work on the video card bracket assembly today. Last night I was hit with a thought; Can carbon fiber be bent if one applied heat to it???? I didn't know and I haven't seen anyone try it. If I could bend a piece of carbon fiber than I could use a piece to brace the 2 end...

Hello. I have come to the point in my build where I need the video cards that I will be using along with the power supply to correctly fabricate and continue on with my build. Since not getting any sponsorship yet, I have had to resort to dismantling Aelro to attain the parts I need. The...

Hello. Update! Designed a new bracket assembly for the power supply. Began to cut out the pieces needed. 3 frames pieces to hold the power supply in position. I love this new design in having the power supply itself out in the open surrounded by a cage. I could have gone...
