Hey all! So now that covid is a but less of a stumbling block, I can finally move forward with my project for Thermaltake!
Initially I had titled it "Metal Slug" as it was planned to be an ode to my favorite arcade stand up title. However as time, and ideas flowed forward, the vision and plan changed!
Currently still in the design phase of the project, so expect to see some physical material getting turned into aluminum chips soon!
Components:
Cpu: Intel i9-9900k (@5.0ghz all core)
Mobo: Asus Maximus XI Formula
RAM: Thermaltake toughram platinum 32gb, 3600mhz (4x8gb)
Gpu: TBD (MSI 1080ti lightning Z, until 3080/3090 is found)
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower pf1 ARGB 850w platinum
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1tb nvme m.2
Chassis: Thermaltake View 51 TG ARGB
Cooling:
Rads: Thermaltake Pacific CLM360 ×2
Cpu Block: Thermaltake w7
Fittings: Thermaltake C-pro 16mm
Tubing: Thermaltake V-Tubler 16mm
Pump/res: Thermaltake
Fans: Thermaltake Riing quad 120mm ×9
Behold! The model for my View 51 mod, sponsored by Thermaltake! Titled "Containment 51"
All the modeling was done on Fusion 360, and the project uses a mixture of acrylics and aluminum. I cant take credit for modeling the motherboard though. It was taken from GrabCad as a placeholder.
The main features of the mod will be a mechanized and moving motherboard tray, using ballscrews and nema 17 stepper motors, custom rigged to slide the entire tray up and down at the press of a button to lift the components up out of the case for all to see.
Secondly I'll be using custom made gearing, belts, bearings and shafts to retract and extend the main side panels to reveal the moving interior, also at the press of a button!
Stay tuned for some enormous updates soon
