Real Steampunk PC

grabcad

I call this the Real Steampunk PC because it’s made from real copper with a real patina and the gauges are real and functional. No spray paint or fake glued on gauges. It’s not as over-the-top as some other steampunk PC’s but the real aspects give it some character.It’s designed like a wind tunnel, with one 200mm fan pushing air through the entire volume of the case and out the other end. The radiator is a custom hybrid design combining a traditional radiator design with heat pipes. The radiator and manifold are tied to the case, creating a large heat sink. It’s also a drip proof design, meaning there are no electronics directly below any of the potential drip points.The raspberry pi/pump circuit can be powered with a separate 12V power supply to run the pump in a maintenance mode with the motherboard and main power supply powered off. The raspberry pi is also powered when the PC is in normal operation and displays performance data. Just for show, I added some analog gauges to display the temperature and pressure deltas.Below is the long list of grabcad models that were used, modified, or contributed in some way. Hopefully I didn’t miss any because there were so many.Asus - ROG STRIX H270I GAMING Mini ITX MotherboardCorsair Vengeance LED DDR4 RamRaspberry PI 3 B+NF-A20Fitting, 1/2" OD hard tube G1/4 (Primochill Revolver style)https://grabcad.com/library/ek-supremacy-evo-cpu-waterblock-1https://grabcad.com/library/ek-ddc-x-res-csq-1POWER JACK DC, CUI4 PIN PWM Connector6 and 8 PIN ATX 12 V power coennectorsAC Power Socketconnectors THHDMIHDMI-to-HDMI Interconnect BoardMotor Drive ControllerL298N DriverMicro USB ConnectorMolex power fit 4P 8P 24P Vertical ConnectorsOn off switchRebuild USB Type C Sinkhead plugStiftleiste_MaleUSB 3.0 90 Deg Plug Type AUSB Female Panel Mount Connector
