Nice pics too. I'm enjoying this log.

EDIT: Here's a recent lap job I did on an Apogee XT. The previous owner left it in less-than-ideal condition...

Not as shiny as yours I'm afraid, I was a bit lazy!

Thanks m8!
Very nice job on the Apogeen too, it's much more work then a Cpu

Ordered something last week i could really use today

First some holes for the buttons of the pump/fan controller.

Tape so it won't move.

And some holes with 3.5mm.

Wow, it fits

Sanded the frame so i can paint it.

Oops almost forgot i also had to paint the edge where the plexi goes.

Glued the plexi.

Bitspower fanguards back in after the paintjob.

And some glue.

Rub it in with a wet finger.

Believe me this glue doesn't let go

Next problem, what to do with this..

Ah we'll see

Hmm... needs more cutting.

Losing the sharp edges and create some nice roundings.

Paint it black.

Also glued the frame for the pump/fan controller.

Second part of the ex-5.25" slot.

Let's stick the Dremel in there too.
(Not easy to hold a Dremel in one hand and a cam in the other

)

And more polishing.

Making it rough so i can paint it.

And some fitting.

Painted.

Lots of work for something you hardly see back, but im satisfied for today.

Time for BBQ! :P

BlueRaven · 21st August 2011, 7:05 PM

Mad skills. Very tidy work.

Look like your BBQ got rained out though... undeserved after all that effort...

l3p · 21st August 2011, 9:41 PM

Thanks m8!

It was the last day of my vacation, so rain or no rain

(10 minutes later the sun showed up)

l3p · 28th August 2011, 9:10 AM

Thanks m8

Assembled the case again this week
Quite some work cause of the lcd screen

After that tested if the Velcro would work out.

Works great, i think it can hold me too :P

Pulling it off again wasn't that easy

Placed the other stuff again too.

Don't want too much lights on the outside, i like it this way.
Maybe some red glow from the bottom...

Maybe the top casewindow will be blood red plexi too.

Here an airflowtest with the new fanholes.

Finally some news!

Been busy at work lately but
Had a nice cup of coffee with Asus Benelux this week.
It was really great Rogier!!

He also brought something nice with him

Finally!

And a new tablecloth, my wife really loves it! NOT :P

And some pics of the Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z

I really like the board a lot!

The first flag.

Together with my dear old P6T6 WS Revo.

And my stand with his new look, didn't become a tablecloth after all

Thanks Asus Benelux and Rogier hope to see you again one day! :P

Oh.. and a small test with a 75-slot Bitspower Crystal link

Also this week some news about Exceleram

callum14 · 15th September 2011, 8:51 AM

wow it looks amazing, I'm quite envious of you're skills master l3p. I remember watching your desk build from the begining on Maxishine

It's inspired me for my build xD Similar, but not the same

l3p · 18th September 2011, 9:00 AM

Thanks callum14!

Don't want to tell everything about Exceleram, but i do have to explain something when all of a sudden a sponsor disappears

After months of contact with someone from Exceleram all of a sudden i didn't hear anything anymore from them.
I found out by facebook a lot of personnel quit their job there ... inclusive the one I was in contact with ... nice :P
After lots of mails i got to hear after 4 months there weren't any samples left, i do have to go on so i decided to thank Exceleram and wish them the best!

I hope to have some good news in a few weeks!

So this evening I mounted my mainboard and EK block so i can go on measuring.

I hate stickers..
Specially when they don't come off easily

WD40 ftw!

And ready.

Glad i don't have to hide the nice red ROG colours like in my last mod

EK-Supreme HF Acetal with EK-CPU Easy Mount HF Black

Just noticed, Why do you have a m-atx board when the case can fit a standard atx???

l3p · 18th September 2011, 5:45 PM

There will be a 280 rad with fans in that spot
