Cooler Master 840 ATCS Project

[MonsterMawd]

I've started the build for Cooler Master's media suite at 2010 CES. The D-9 concept was mine after seeing the movie.

I should know by first week of November what hardware CM will be sending me.

The canvas for this PC build is the Cooler Master 840 ATCS

Adding window to Cooler master 840 ATCS

Using tape roll to make curved corner

Make first initial cut with your Dremel and cutting wheel, to allow use of Jigsaw and cut the window more efficiently

You have created slot, this allows using a Jigsaw w/ 18 TPI cutting blade

Using a Jigsaw is much quicker than using a Dremel to cut your window

Glad to hear guys are connecting through this log, thats what it's all about

Final photos, it's in Vegas for CES show now... Hopefully the Media mention it

Mitron Interlink Fan Controller was cannibalized and mounted in the rear of the chassis.

The prawn canister resides in the front 5.25 bays, under a single DVD drive.

MNU logo painted on the optical drive face. Did Christopher steal this to access archived files?

Flexible conduit seen through exploded hole in the right side panel.

The Prawn lettering was hand painted. You can download the font, http://www.district9movie.com/downloads/fontdownload.html

Rusted and scratches were hand painted on the exterior.

If I hadn't seen this thread, i would of though the case got left on the gaza strip for a couple of days, then onto mars.

Absolutely stunning work
