My interpretation of the Mac Pro replica

[vaneea]

Hello guys, after initially hearing about this mod on this forum i decided i should give it a try. So, after 2 years one burned MB and GPU here i am with my variation of the Mac Pro.

The neat part is that i used a single 120mm on the top to cool entire "bin" cpu+gpu+psu, it somewhat mimics the mac pro's thermal core. I used the authentics lunar bin and printed in 3d the base using the model posted on this forum

Specs are:

Asus P8h77 -i
I3-2120 , 3.3Ghz + Passive cooler 79mm high adapted from sk 775
16Gb ddr3
128Gb+240Gb - mSATA SSD in adapter
400W PSU (i used the pcb only with enlarged heatsinks)
1 slot free in the case for a 750Ti (i had one which i burned down because i bent the pci-e extender cable too much and the tin foil touched the power pins, i have the custom heatsink ready when the new gpu arrives.)

The entire build can support cpus with a TDP of maximum 90W, maximum 16Gb ram and 6pin GPUs but i prefer to keep it light untill i am sure the PSU runs at the correct temps.

I will post more pictures of my build if you guys are interested.

Thanks all for posting ideas and pictures, it helped me a lot in finding solutions to my problems.

Yes, please! Inside pics! What print method did you use for the base? Can't tell if it was extruded or another method. Looks maybe like extruded with a acetone vapor bath.
