Build Log – Just summary
Here is a picture that shows you how all the components are accurately sized them according to their physical dimensions in PhotoShop.
Draw the motherboard template onto the acrylic sheet and mount it. All the acrylic panels are cut at 45° angle to get the edge lit effect. Make sure all holes are drilled and tapped. Standoffs installed. The Rampage III Extreme is an eATX board. This is a standard ATX formfactor. An eATX mounting plate was later made.
The drives are installed in Vantec HDCS caddies that converts 2 5.25″ bays into 3 HDD mounts.
A triangular cut was made at the center of each plate. This will reflect the light which is projected perpendicular to the plate onto the edges of the plate. Without the cut the edges barely glow at all. All the back plates are wet sanded with 120 grit paper. All the acrylic back plates with the mounting holes drilled.
Laying out all the components on the board to mark various slot and hole locations. The board is a 1/4″ 48 x 30 hardboard.
All the slots and hole locations marked has been removed with dremel. Glue is been on the frame. LED strips are soldered and taped down.
Next the vinyl sticker applied on the board. Use aluminum tape on the top of the HDD and SSD backplates to hide the LEDs for where there are gaps in between the hard drives.
All the backplates are mounted to the board using #10 screws into tapped holes in the acrylic.
Now connect all the components using Bitfenix and Corsair cables at the back of the computer(including power).
3M risers and SoundBlaster Zx installed.
Leak testing the system while its on the ground and easy to trouble shoot.
Finally it’s done. The incredible wall mount computer rig just for gamers. For more information, video and tutorial about this article please visit the source link.
