Hello, I thought it might be a nice thing to show my creations for the german audience and this seems like a nice forum. You might have seen some of these cases around the globe but here they are again :)

First off, one of my oldest cases (built before I found this site)

2002 Syrinix.


Specs:

XP1800 @ 1.53
EpoX 8K7A+
2 x 256MB Corsair PC2400
IBM 60GXP 60GB
Plextor PlexWriter 16/10/40A
Floppy
Powerman 300W PSU


Cooling:

Eheim 1048
DangerDen Maze2
DangerDen northbridge block
DangerDen GF3 block
DangerDen heatercore
1/2" Silicone tubing
15mm copper bends and copper T for airtrap/refill.
220/12V relay to switch on the pump with the computer.
Heatspreader in copper on the GF3 so the waterblock also cools the RAM on it.
127mm ventilation duct with an integrated Y.S. Tech 120mm fan (heavily modded to fit inside) running at 7V.


Mods:

Removed 3.5" bays.
Moved HDD and floppy to 5.25" bays.
Custom made faceplates for floppy and CD-RW.
Rounded cables.
Custom made frontplate in copper to replace the old one that was full of holes (quite similar to a cheeze) :grin:
Custom made attachment to install pump hanging vertically.
Front blowhole with EL-wire as fanguard.
Window with 2.5m EL-wire around it.
2 green cold cathodes.

2002 Anemone

This is a conversion of a 1946 Bush DAC 90 bakelite radio into a home entertainment PC. The big brass buttons on the front are power and reset switches, between them in the round window are 200 red LEDs which belongs to two 10-channel spectrum analyzers connected to the left and right channel on the sound card. Above the spectrum analyzers which are embedded in clear cast resin is a modified CrystalFontz 634 LCD (converted from green to red and inverted). A slim line cd-rom player is located under the round brass plate.


Specs:

Intel Celeron-II 800MHz
Shuttle FV-24
2 x 128MB PC-100
10GB HDD
24X IBM Slim line laptop CD-ROM
140W mATX PSU

Oenone built 2002

This project is a 1996 Silicone Graphics O2 workstation with an original 17.3" widescreen LCD monitor converted to a gaming machine.

Externally, the only hint of a modification is that the audio and video ports on the left hand side has been replaced with a dark blue piece of plastic. When powered up, blue light will flood from all air intakes and the dark blue piece of plastic will reveal a Noritake graphical VFD.
The most significant modification can only be seen from behind - a new chassis made out of Carbon Fibre...


Specs:

Intel P4 2.4 GHz
Intel D850EMD2
2 x 256MB Kingston PC1066 RDRAM
Ati Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB
80GB Western Digital HDD with 8MB cache
16X Toshiba DVD-ROM
Sparkle 300W 1U PSU


Mods:

Complete stealth mod, when the computer is powered off, only the backside will look different from an original Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation.
Chassis made out of carbon fibre.
Noritake graphical VFD.
4 x 4" blue CCFLs illuminating the internals.


Cooling:

1 x YSTech 70mm TMD fan mounted on a Swiftech MCX4000 heatsink cooling the CPU.
1 x Akasa 1U Copper HSF mounted on the ATI 9700 PRO
1 x 80mm aluminium housed fan for cooling the case

And here is the first case built 2003...

3

This project started when Intel contacted me regarding a case to show off their new Pentium 4 3.06GHz with. I couldn't let down this nice offer so brainstorming mode was next on the agenda.

After a while I got the idea, why not put a 3GHz computer inside the digit three...


Specs:

Intel P4 3.06GHz
Intel D845PEBT2
512MB generic DDR333
ATI Radeon 9700 PRO
Seagate Barracuda V 80GB S-ATA
LiteON External USB2.0 40x/12x/40x CDRW
QTec 400w PSU Gold


Mods:

Complete custom case made out of watercut anodised aluminium.
2 x 12" blue CCFLs illuminating the internals from Kustom PCs.


Cooling:

1 x YSTech 70mm TMD fan mounted on a Vantec Aeroflow VP4-C7040 heatsink cooling the CPU.

Hi mashi!

Welcome to the forum. Your cases are really masterpieces. :)

I have a question regarding the 'Oenone' case. Can I mount a normal ATX-board in a Silicone Graphics case without drilling new holes for the screws?

Cheers

I don't like the first one, but the others are really spectacular.. yes, I think you can call it art.

When I first saw the pictires from "3", I thought "nice radiator, but wheres the computer?".
Then I realised that it IS the Computer..

What the hack is THIS? Looks very cool! :D (guess you won´t have thermal problems with this "case" ;D)
How did you made it? And what was it originally?

PS: The anemone-mod ist known here. Great work! And the "2002 Syrinix" does have a pretty cool "window"... ;)

mfg, gurke

Everything but the motherboard tray is made out of watercut aluminium that later was anodised blue. Since I like most people don't have that kind of equipment, I simply did the drawings in AutoCAD and had a company do the cutting. :)

biddschedabber

Thanks.

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that a normal ATX board is too big, MicroATX is the biggest you can fit inside. All the SGI internals are proprietory so they simply don't follow any standards, you will most likely have to rebuild the internal chassis like the way I did (mayby not with carbon fibre though ;) )
