Default Custom Tech Station Worklog

OK, so I decided to do a worklog instead of a guide. Here's some starting pics to give you an idea of what I'm going for:

Here's what the mobo standoffs will look like:

And the materials. Six 3' bars of angle aluminum bar and a 24" x18" sheet of acrylic for the upper mobo tray and the lower tray also.

More to come!

Ooh, yay! The only thing I don't like about the DD Torture Rack is that you can only mount DD's rads on it... Swiftech's and Thermochill's won't fit...

I can't really test that theory, but I'd think you could mount the rad you want, with at most a little modification

Yeah. The problem with the Swiftech rads (judging by the pics) is that the placement of the holes for the barbs are in the wrong place. The problem for the Thermochill rads (again, judging by the pics) is the spacing for the fans.

That's a pretty good use for one of those! But I'd rather build my own tech station. More pics in a bit...

OK, more pics! I cut all the aluminum to size. I decided the station will be 12" wide by 18" long, but I haven't decided how tall to make it. Thoughts?

Here's some pics of the cut aluminum. I'm just seeing if I cut the aluminum without messing up, and I don't think I did! It's off here and there, but overall I'm very pleased with myself.

The plan is to cut the acrylic in half for the upper and lower sections. I'll go do that right now. Stay tuned!
