lots of pics, any way i dont have any CADs so ye um thinking of a cdrom coming out of were the buttons were fans on the top of the case and maybe a window at the back for easy access... mbtray of perspex u'll see


um need a colour scheme to idea is to look standard as possible from the outside and nearly every thing clear inside...




update1

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thefront.jpg


when i cut this section out i realised that there was a big (5mm) gap underneath

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thegap.jpg

i will putty this up later


now the plan was to have the cd rom flat on the bottom but the smart ppl at the ktx company thought lets but some ribs in to make it hard for munkeyboy lol not to hard lil friend called mah dremel knocked that one on the head

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000461.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000527.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000528.jpg





the i had to heat up a knife with a mini blowtorch and flaten off the left overs (to lazy to sand) (pic above) looks bad atm but paint and final touch ups will fix this im buying the system as i go.

i have done more of this but i was intending on posting the full worklog when i was done but cant wait ill post more tomorrow btw im 14

tomorrow im going to the tech lab at school in lunch and sanding the mb tray

:P try to get it up to speed asap... till then

[DonT-FeaR]

ok it seems i had a bit more time than i thought

ook the fan idea....
the plans (plans....?)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/planforthefan-2.jpg

i dont have a holesaw 80mm so i just just my dremel
this is the first section
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/roughcutout.jpg

then rounded it finished sanded drilled holes
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000539-1.jpg

the fan to go in the hole
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thefan.jpg

the problem with using that fan

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/theproblem2-1.jpg

the 'clever' solution (i was inspired off this site)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thesoluiton3.jpg


cut dem bits off and vwala lol

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/theresult2.jpg


scince i did this step i manages to make the holes stuffed so i got to putty them up and drill them again.... till the next update (maybe tonight?)

[The boy 4rm oz]

Well we all have to start somewhere. I was about your age when I did my first mod, a clear window for my stock PC case...voiding the warranty of course ;). That was 2 years ago already, a lot happens in 2 years.

A great start and a great idea. What was the original size of the CRT your using?

I am interested to see how this turns out. +subscribe

[DonT-FeaR]

yeah i have no clue 17 i think or 19 old n ****

um whats +subscribe mean?

im new although ive been looking around 4 ages

[The boy 4rm oz]

It just means I have subscribed to your worklog. When someone makes a new post in your worklog my User CP (Control Panel) will notify me when I log in.

While on the topic +rep means someone has given you reputation points for your work. These accumulated and eventually you get more green squares to the right of your name.

[DonT-FeaR]

thanx 4 the info

ok i have more time lol
(if time was money i would be rich atm)

ok i thought i would have to have a 'front' to my case so were the old screen was i thought i would but a piece of perspecs and the firt attempt from scrap perspecs looked bad here ill put them up

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/planforfront.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thefinishedshape.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/thesanding.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/theroughlook.jpg


the i went down to the local bunnings and did some 'haggaling' for cheaper parts (the guy cut it a little and gave it to me 75% off)

unfortunately i didnt take any early pics but u can guess

i heated it up in the oven and bent it to shape(its got glad wrap over it to protect it for the photo it has better protection now [shifty eyes])

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000543.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000544.jpg


fo the back of it like i said i thought i would put a window in i still havent decided but heres the plan if i do

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000536-1.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000542.jpg

or

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000542.jpg

that is the same piece of prespecs it is just better protected now
i was thinking either 2 80mm fans or 1 120mm fan like this

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000599.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

The 120mm fan will be quieter and probably create more air flow.

[DonT-FeaR]

yeah thats what i thought if i do decide to make the window i will use 1 120mm fan


mb pics will come tomorrow promise


any name ideas!!!!!

[The boy 4rm oz]

What about hot box?

[cooldud02123]

The box with no name. It is so cool it dose not need a name.

[Eclecticos]

LMAO. . HotBox. :D Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

[DonT-FeaR]

yeah dont expect this to be an overnight project......

to get to this stage has take like 10 weeks lol just diong a bit here bit there


hot box??? meaning please

[The boy 4rm oz]

Hot box was the first thing that came to my head lol. It has no meaning.

[DonT-FeaR]

fair enough i will probably put the name on the case somewhere


as promised i will update again today

ok today i went into the tech room at school and did a little bit of work (teacher wanted his lunch)

on the mb tray now i may be working slow but im tring to get things right

ok so this is it before i went to school

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000597.jpg

this is it still with the glad wrap and tape on when i got back (forgot the cover would come off takeing my marks with it) (wraped in glad wrap then tape so the tap glue wouldnt stick on it)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000600.jpg

without the s*** on it

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000603.jpg

its not perfectly square but its good for now

this is a rough layout but i realised the HDD cant go up the top

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000605.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

so i was think i could make it go under neath the mb tray therefore making enough room for the shizzle on top

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000608.jpg

the cd rom could go infront of this still thats the rough size of a HDD btw

to do this and make the cd rack fit under neath the mb i need to cut it off here ish (top line)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000589.jpg

for the HDD to fit with a rack on it in that spot i have to cut it at the section where it changes sizes and sand it off

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000592.jpg


my main problem in the near future is to make the mb thingo as i call it (thin on the back everything plugs into)

useable through the right hand side of the picture or left hand side if you were the case

i was thinking a hole with a guard to the thingo supporting it and ye you get it


http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000604.jpg


ideas for this problem are very welcome VERY welcome im a bit puzzled on this one...

oh i think the psu will go under at the back

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/theback.jpg

[Eclecticos]

Cool Progress already that deserves a +Rep.
Consult the UrbanDictionary for the definition of hotbox. :D

[The boy 4rm oz]

The thing that everything plugs into is called the I/O panel.
+rep for the good progress

[DonT-FeaR]

wow rep ^^) pitty i share this account hey lol im dont-fear btw

planning the legs for it now


i/o pannel ill try membah that cheers

[FuzzyPlushroom]

Looks good! Thought of doing this once but never got around to it...

Low Radiation ... you have to leave that, man, have to. :D

[vastonecat]

Sweet! What are you planning for the front? A clear window or a flat screen?
+ rep and keep up the good work.

[DonT-FeaR]

kk vastonecat im planning on a clear window i would put a screen but it would be small and cost to much

need to take photos and upload more updates later maybe

[DonT-FeaR]

kk updates!!! lolz

i found that if i take out the back bit i will be able to fit 2 HDDs instead of only 1

this is the way i can do it

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/kljkjk.jpg

but without cutting the topp 'mb support' out. if it is to weak i can re-force it (cant spell btw)

this is whats going on the back to hide the HDDS

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000619.jpg

it is the back window i decided not to have the window because of a chain reaction i cant fit the psu in its original place so it will go here

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000536-1-1.jpg

then if i get some hdd racks from mah other case i can do this alot quicker and it will match

ill cut a section out of the back bit for the cords
these are the plans atm updatess this weekend

[DonT-FeaR]

Ok, like I (he) mentioned before this is a shared account.

Anyway, I'm the other guy and I just wanna post my comments lol.

Ok so I think a LCD screen should be put in the front of it, you might be able to get one that is slightly damaged (small scratches) off of ebay or someone for cheap.

~ munkey_boy (the actual owner)

[DonT-FeaR]

ye zac i cbf thats to hard lol it wont fit anyway :P (shot down)

we is school mates

[DonT-FeaR]

(Original owner again)

Yes, but I remember a mod where a guy took all of the stuff off (stand, side bits etc.) so you might be able to do that.

~ munkey boy (the actual owner)

[The boy 4rm oz]

Hmmm confusing lol. Yes it is possible to remove the frame off an LCD so you can mount it elsewhere. It has been done may times before and a few times in this forum. Do a thread search and you should be able to find something.

EDIT: I did the search for you.
Linky:
http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12747&highlight=LCD+Monitor
Enjoy :).

[DonT-FeaR]

yea guys it looks like i has lots of room but i dont it simply wont fit

heres another pic of what i ment for the HDDs

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000624.jpg


this is how much will stick out at the end

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000625.jpg

the parts for the back somehow go scratched so ill 'mist them'

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000623.jpg

my painting table

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000611.jpg

this is the rough very roung idea of mounting for the back

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/sdgdgssdg.jpg

i have to cut this on off above the line

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/fsdg.jpg

ye updates when i have some

[DonT-FeaR]

ok this is gunna be mainly a text update

i still have to cut out the back ribs
cut out the bottem black bit
get two matching HDD racks from either the shop near my house (going tomorrow) or from an old case i have with very different mounts ill post pics of them later
putty up the gap underneath the front
putty up the top fan holes and redrill
cut the cd rom rack
work out the psu and the I/O pannel mounting
frost the 2 parts at the back and cut to size
drill the holes for everything
and more but ill try get these things done before i work out the other ones :P


this is how much room i have between the mb tray and the bottom of the case

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000632.jpg

the black thing is 2cm thick

i found if i mount a fan like so
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000635.jpg

even tho its curved it leaves no gap see

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000637.jpg

how good is that i think i will have maybe 3fans on either side havent worked out final plans yet :P


happy easter
happy modding
updates soon till then ....

[Bopher]

hmmm. and people say I have issues when I carry on conversations in the office with myself staring at the computer screen, but I think they classify it as an extreme case if you're posting comments to yourself.. Anyway, this is looking good.
Hey you know what would really set people off with this thing? Mount a LCD in the side of an empty computer tower. So your computer is in the monitor and the monitor is in the computer. Or could be the stress at work getting to me:D

[The boy 4rm oz]

Haha that is a great idea. People would be like WTF??? a computer in a monitor and a monitor in a computer :? :think: ;).

[DonT-FeaR]

wow ur a genius ..... NOT nah i did think of that but i dont have ascreen im trying to get one

[DonT-FeaR]

hey guys n gals if there is any that go on this site

this is a sort of update

me and my friend went to a recycled computer shop to look for cheap parts

[jdbnsn]

would you mind opening separate accounts with your own email and info for each? If it is easier, I can edit the screen name for this account if you enter your correct email address. Sharing an account is something we don't like.

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000684.jpg

this is the plan for the back now to hide the HDDs
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000716.jpg



also decided to grind the mounts for the HDD and the cd rom

i came back from getting a drink and my old neighbour/friend was working at his machine (stays at our house) and he was workng on mah mounts so he did them for me im really lazy btw
i did cut them short so it was easier

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000667.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000670-1.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000675.jpg

they turned out really really nice

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000683.jpg


just a short little add on
my aunty used to work/own a computer shop and she has lots of old parts that some are still in their boxes and she gave me some things to clear a little bit more room this is what i got

3 cd rom audio cables i think
1 set of brand new speakers
1 web cam
2 heatsinks (old ones but are what im gunna use atm)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000646.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000644.jpg


i went to the hardware shop and bought some knead it which is like putty to do some jobs the gap on the bottom i decided it didnt matter if it was there or not but i knew it needed to be flat so i puttyed that up

and the fan on the top the screws were pulling through so u puttied them up to

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000674.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000689.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000691.jpg

let them dry took about 10-20 mins

then started sanding (rolls eyes)lots of hours later :P took about 2 hours i think

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000695.jpg

it fits into the 'brackets' nicely

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000800.jpg

i found that it has a gap at the back and if i cut the back corners off it should fit close but no :banana: atm
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1000795.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

I was asked before DonT-FeaR left for his holiday to the USA to keep this thread open for him, so this is what I am doing.

*BUMP*

[Enigma]

Im with it, keep this one open.
Very sweet mod :)

[DonT-FeaR]

well im enjoying my trip and i manageed to get a numberplate painted like the header for my mod then i decided to change the whole thing to gloss white and maybe hang the plate i got made on it somewhere so im having funa and thinking about my mod inbeteween like on the planes or busses i cant wait talk to you guys later..

[The boy 4rm oz]

Great news buddy. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

[DonT-FeaR]

heading to toronto today we are in rochester about 200 miles south? of toronto

i met chaksq last night as a bonus for my trip

i had a think and a look on tbcs and saw somebody use velcro on their mod and that made me think i could use velco for my mod th secure the mb tray and maybe the hdds whoever that was thank you so much!!!! ttyal talk to you all later till then....

[The boy 4rm oz]

Great news buddy. Can't wait for an update.

[DonT-FeaR]

home sweet home after 3 planes and 22 hours im back managed to get 3 seats on the long flight so i slept for 9 hours!!! modding will start soon ttyl

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yay

[DonT-FeaR]

lol

after all that time i must of turned retarded because i went and bought velcro and contact because the contact i had was white not clear then i couldnt get the contact on with no bubles so mum did one side for me and will probably do the other side tomorrow

velcro is strong enough but i will but hdds on the floor not suspended and the cd rom velcro works as does the mb tray so all is well atm i only have 2 big jobs to go which are mounting the psu and building the I/O pannel suppoe\rt and a bunch of little jobs and all the home work i was ment to do throughout my holiday im not to bad a bit tired ill be fine buy tomorrow.

ttyl

[DonT-FeaR]

ok i have some jobs to do.....

some MAY get done this weekend but its my friends daughters cristianing.. cant spell remember this is what has to be done


mb tray:
contact the other side, drill the holes and tread them

mount psu (not big but hard i think)

mount I/O pannel (big job)

mount screen (easy but must be done last)

HDD hiders: make brackets (small job may get done this week)

velcro the HDDs to the bottom of the case(not at the top now)

raise the back of cd rom and mount(may take a bit)

build the front cd rom guard (may take a bit)

mount/buy switches (worked the ones i want out yesterday)

ad fans

then paint and lights and stuff


till then...

[DonT-FeaR]

well i did plan to do some modding yesterday but this took up most of my day

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030188.jpg

on my soprano case

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030187.jpg

any way...

thought i might use this in a mod one day for a resivior

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030185.jpg

got these while in the states and thought i could use them for something got 7

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030186.jpg

the coin u see is a aussie 10cent or the size of a nickel

the momentary switches i got from the shop thanks to j-roc i know what im looking for in switches now im gunna order 2 that look the same but are single pole single throw dont look kool but ill be able to jazz them up and hide them well i hope....

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030189.jpg

[J-Roc]

That would be a huge reservoir (top pic). No problem for helping with the switches. Anyone would have helped, i just happened to be on your msn at the time :)

[DonT-FeaR]

well u helped so u win the top prize!!!! +rep
lol

nice header btw

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice lego model. You have a lot of work to do buddy, get cracking.

[DonT-FeaR]

yes sir!!! this weekend i may get the parts for the hdd hiders and possibly finish the mb tray hopefully!!! i got to go to a chistining on sunday so i have friday saturday and some of sunday so might get none done might get lots...

ttyl till then...

[DonT-FeaR]

ok i did some modding over the weekend heres what i have left to do



mb tray:
contact the other side(decided no to), drill the holes and tread them

mount psu (need it welded and then bolt on)

mount I/O pannel (big job)

mount screen (easy but must be done last)

HDD hiders: make brackets (done need to mount may work may not)

velcro the HDDs to the bottom of the case(not at the top now)

raise the back of cd rom and mount(may take a bit)

build the front cd rom guard (may take a bit)

mount switches (all bought need to mount)

ad fans

then paint and lights and stuff





so what did i do you ask?


bought the other buttons and got them wired up

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030200.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030202.jpg

i used one of my old old case buttons and cut the wires and fixed them to these switches

this part
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030203.jpg

i made this to hold them and turn out really bad ill make something else i tried another piece and broke it spirits down atm cuz that screwed up my plans for the buttons so now i dont know what im gunna do

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030208.jpg

went down to the shop bought this..
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030190.jpg

was ment to be for the front cd rom part but i didnt look at it good enough and it tapered and i looked at the high side thinking its just high enough....
used it for hdd brackets instead might not work tho


this is what i bought originaly for the Hdd hider brackets
a metre or right angle alumi..
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030191.jpg

found a better use for it.. cut into lengths and angled the sides for looks

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030192.jpg


what is it?
the psu brackets!!

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030198.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030197.jpg

then need to bend this at a right angle

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030196.jpg

thats done no more pics atm ned that welded and i need the HDD brackets mounted maybe this week just went back to school and its **** so might mod mod for a while...

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice update, doesn't look like much but it really is time consuming work.

[DonT-FeaR]

yarp u hit that nail on the head... aussies should of heard that one b4 lol
thanx

[DonT-FeaR]

ok so i took some progress pics for you guys to see what i have done

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030213.jpg

floor 1 and going up...
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030214.jpg
floor 2 and going up...
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030216.jpg
finnal floor



the 2 hdds fit like this also but i think they will get to hot..
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030212.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030218.jpg

i made the brackets for the hdd hiders they are strong now, still have to drill and mount and stuff slowly but steadily....


mb tray:
contact the other side(decided not to), drill the holes and tread them

mount psu (need it welded and then bolt on)

mount I/O pannel (big job)

mount screen (easy but must be done last)

HDD hiders: need to mount

velcro the HDDs to the bottom of the case

raise the back of cd rom and mount

build the front cd rom guard

mount switches (all bought need to mount/ make the alumi pannel this weekends job.)

ad fans

then paint and lights and stuff





so much homework at the moment so i might not do any modding this weekend but ill try
ttyl till then...

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice progress, you can really see where it is going now.

1 Question though. Will you attach the Velcro directly to the HDDs to mount? If so I recommend you mount the HDDs to a scrap piece of plexi, this will make removal of the unit easier and if you remove the Velcro you won't have sticky HDDs ;). This will also raise the HDD up of the floor a bit giving it better airflow therefore better cooling.

[DonT-FeaR]

hmmmm good thinking ill have to see what i can do as for the velcro i dont rly care if i leave it on later when i take it out

[DonT-FeaR]

ok small update...

decided to buy these instead of buying them from the states and getting them send over

in the dark

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030240.jpg


the 120mm fan

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030243.jpg

the grill thing on the back

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030242.jpg

this is the hdd brackets i got cut need to sand them tomorrow and drill soon will be sanded at lunch provided i dont get in trouble with the knob of a dean... (school teacher of high power)
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030233.jpghttp://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030234.jpg


(bit dark but get over it :P) i may sound rude but its my humour...
anywho ttyl


also does any1 follow this because it seems like only the boy from aus follows :( lol theres a face up early in this post thats not ment to be there

[The boy 4rm oz]

Told ya PC Case Gear were quick, if they have what you need in stock lol.

By the way, that grill thing on the Arctic Cooling fan is actually on the front of the far. That design allows the fan to draw in much more air allowing it to run quieter.

Nice start of the HDD racks.

[chaksq]

Looking good man! I really like the setup of this case, can't wait to see how it goes all together.

[Dane Bramage]

i'm following.

i like the idea... kinda like an iMac (no insult intended) :)

those AC fans are great. very quite. i think you'll like.

can't wait to see it coming together.

[Tavarin]

Been following this thing for a while, like the concept. Finally put one of those old clunker monitors to good use. Hurry up and finish this so we can all gaze in awe at it's awesomeness.

[DonT-FeaR]

:P

i feel better lol one of those ccfl lights broke like the wire came out and it didnt work well from the start
picked it up and it fell out ffs!!

any who try to send iit back soon get a new one pissed off about this and ill probably get in sh*t at school but ill be ok lol (not for this lol) ttyl

[The boy 4rm oz]

Unlucky mate. I just one of my CCFL cables by accident. Zip ties and tape worked great lol.

[DonT-FeaR]

yeah if they dont send a new one or replacer it ill try fix it

[The boy 4rm oz]

If it actually fell out of the CCFL it will be a difficult fix. If the cable is broken it's easy.

[DonT-FeaR]

it fell our of the ccfl tube lol i got it riged so it works but for some reason it is only half as bright


the other one is living in my soprano case atm :P bright and pretty

[DonT-FeaR]

ok so u put the grills on the fans

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030245.jpg

lol one test the beast is alive this is just a small set up but i need to cut annd shut the wires soon

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030248.jpg

and the 12cm fan is on but my cams to good


http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030251.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

doesnt look like much of a post but it was very satisfying (cant spell)



got my fan

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030252.jpg

cut of the conector like you guys said

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030253.jpg

soldered it all up and heatsrinked (just extended)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030254.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030255.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030256.jpg
then did the same for the 2 92mm fans(no pics)

2
1
launch!!!
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030258.jpg


so happy with that they all going at once...
i have 3 more soldering jobs on the way


solder the 3 fans to the 1 to 3 pin molex thingo i have

solder the switch onto this

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030259.jpg


and wire the switch fo my lights...


may do them tomorrow


also sanded the switch plate to shape have to get that done before i can solder the switches

and sanded the ends of the hdd brackets

got held up because the sheet of alumi i wanted was 80 bucks and dad said he can get some from work for free (fingers crossed its big enough)


ttyl

[The boy 4rm oz]

Good to see the soldering turned out for you.

[DonT-FeaR]

[The boy 4rm oz]

Mate I am neck deep in it myself. I gotta finish writing a 5min oral for English tonight lol, it's due 2pm tomorrow :(.

[chaksq]

Sucks that you're out of funds and busy, don't give up. I have mods I started long ago I still plan on finishing eventually.

[DonT-FeaR]

yea man im trying to stay strong found out i can put like 2 92mm 3 80mms in top and 5 120mm over the whole case... got to work out how to wire 6 3 pin fans now.... dont wanna rewire them all.... ( got 4 fans wired...) may be able to get the 2 80mm with 4pin molexs on them make it alot easier then only 4 to wire....

[DonT-FeaR]

scratch that idea...

update time


blue ccfl light at the front probably final mounting spot

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030262.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice switch mounting, the fans are looking good.

[Acey]

I want a new dremel. So I can have lightings like yours for my project.

hmm...that doesnt sound right... but it makes sense

[The boy 4rm oz]

Dremels are great. Fork out for the Dremel and get cheapo attachments.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol yea get a dremel they are great but buy a dimond tipped cutting blade like 40 bucks

im gunna buy one soon

just a saftey thing cuz they dont snap or wear down....

im gunna buy on soon glad you like :)

[nevermind1534]

I should get one, then. Who sells them?

[DonT-FeaR]

um.... im in australia... lol seers? lowes? idk i went over there but idk didnt got into a hardware shop mum wouldnt let me :(

[The boy 4rm oz]

The diamond bladed will still snap if you bend them while cutting, it happens. Getting the re-enforced cutting disks like proper angle grinder disks are a far better option IMO.

[M4v3rick]

The diamond bladed will still snap if you bend them while cutting, it happens.
Thats true an those diamond discs are way more dangerous when they scatter because they create very sharp pieces which get stuck in your skin easily.
Working with them safety glasses are a must.

Nice project so far, can't wait to see everything come together.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yes safety glasses are a must. I always wear them because I like to get my face right up close to what I am cutting so I can properly.

[Acey]

Pressed too hard on the dremel at times and the disc broke... good thing I still have my nipples.

[The boy 4rm oz]

You cut in the nood do you Acey? LOL

[DonT-FeaR]

rofl everyone make jokes in my thread!! lol oh i didnt know that about the blades... thought they were 'bulle proof'

just got back from hockey so im stuffed we lost again... :( might get some paint for the hdd and cd rom rack today at mums this weekend so not much well get done.... (im 14 and im normally at dads.)

[Zac]

modding soon

i bought...(myself)
2 80mm led fans cuz they are only 5 bucks
2 thin 80mm fans
ram cooler
screws and cables..


ttyl till then....

[The boy 4rm oz]

A lot of kit you got yourself there mate.

[DonT-FeaR]

sigh.... the ram cooler didnt fit because of the heatsink and the mb power cable so more moddinbg for that soonish but it currently ocupies 2 of my 5.25 bays... lol

on holidays !!! ill mod soon updates may be slow tttyl

[Acey]

damn thats a lot.. :( my bulk order never arrived from the US and that forummer's under a "suspected scammer" tag... wait till i travel north and give him a piece of my mind + boot + assorted modding tools

[DonT-FeaR]

rofl so you lost all your stuff?? thats gay

this is only interstate so im ok

[Acey]

yeah. all gone.. including those slim fans and short ccfls that i intended to use for paperazzi

[The boy 4rm oz]

Mate been there done that. When I ordered my mobo for LEXA they said they sent my order and then 2 months later said they were out of stock and wouldn't refund my money without paying a re-stocking fee on an order they never sent. Out of the $450AUD (including postage) that my order cost I only got about $250 back.

[DonT-FeaR]

:O /cry thats like a years allowance for me lol that would suck

[The boy 4rm oz]

Sure did. I called up consumer affairs and they have put a warning out to the company and flagged them on their list of shame.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol nice

hope that wasnt pccg they have been the best for me...

anyway ttyl

[The boy 4rm oz]

Na not PCCG, S&L Tech.

[DonT-FeaR]

ok ok huge update

spend all day uploading photos


(hope they work)

first were i left you

this is where i ended up putting my ram cooler seeing as it didnt fit
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030330.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030329.jpg

ment to fit here

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030335.jpg

put both my heatsink and mb cable hit it so im fked atm

so i went to they shop and bought this...

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030336.jpg

spary primer
cable ties
cable tie mounts
2 sided tape
and nuts and blots

then i pulled apart my current computer and made a mess

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030342.jpg

then dad and i made this section took ages....
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030370.jpg
first we cut it from here


http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030294-1.jpg

then bent it at a 90 degree angle and then cut out the spot and filed it

ended up with this

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030337.jpg

then i poprivited it and sprayed the primer (no pics)

[DonT-FeaR]

here is a preview of what the case will look like once it is completed

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030344.jpg

if you look closely you can see how i joined the mb to the plexi tray then to the I/O pannel thingo (no close pics ill take them later)

next i primer and painted the HDD and cdrom cage things with some black i had left over

turned out pretty sweet

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030349.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030346.jpg
then i but the velcro and 2 sided tape on them

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030350.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030347.jpg

also primed the switch plate
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030351.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

next i decided to cut a hole in the back of the case for the 120mm fan that i plan to mount there

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030352.jpg

drilled the outline

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030354.jpg

with my


"prison shank" style hacksaw i started to cut

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030355.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030356.jpg

then filed it roughly

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030359.jpg



NEXT i decided to change the fan on the top to an output fan not an intake so i thought why not replace the fan altogether

one of the cheap 80mm led fans i bought

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030362.jpg

with the edges cut so it fits

test it still works

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030365.jpg

test it fits

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030368.jpg

then wire a molex on to it

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030369.jpg




THEN

does everyone remember the back HDD hider idea

anyway

the lay out

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030372.jpg

(rotate 90 degrees and then add to moditor looking away from it)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030373.jpg

so i drilled the holes and daaa - daaaa
(cut bolts to)

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030377.jpg

not fully mounted yet but close

so i cut the holes in it for the cord for the mb cables and all the rest

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030380.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030381.jpg

(only rough)

more pics of the mb tray in place


http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030382.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

[DonT-FeaR]

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030481.jpg
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030480.jpg


i painted the switch pannel
2 of my switches 2 of 4
and the I/O sheild and now i have to paint the other 2 switches and wire things up

also need to work out what i am doing with the HDD fans

might just buy a 15 dollar hdd cooler

yea thats it for now

my lan is in 25 days and i hope to have this done by then...
if not ill have it together and un painted :P

bi

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice idea with the headphone speaker. Nice new scroll saw mate. That attachment is called a flex shaft. You get them for Dremels. You attach the end to the chuck and you end up with a pen sized tool for detail work rather than a heavy ass Dremel.

P.S I like the fan blades attached to your Dremel lol ^

[DonT-FeaR]

lol you didnt see that..... thats my way of cleaning up lol

i know its called a flexi shaft but i had a mental blank :P

my friend and i got bored so i mounted fan blades to my dremel

have had some close calls with it lol

[Acey]

someone's been on major shopping eh?

[DonT-FeaR]

i tried not to because now i got like 20 bucks and need like 60 worth of stuff

[The boy 4rm oz]

OOOOOOOH black.

[DonT-FeaR]

yea i decided on using only black paint so it goes with the blue leds :) and possibly red...

[Tavarin]

Black goes with everything. It's always a good choice.

[Acey]

Its dubbed "The Universal Color" ;)

[DonT-FeaR]

the other stuff may be here tomorrow maybe next week..

hope fully they both come early next week or tomorrow

[blueonblack]

thanks

Buy Silver Surfer (http://vaporizers.net/silver-surfer-vaporizer)

[DonT-FeaR]

yea i was like hmm 7-10 days ah thats ok

and i looked agasin and it said 20 i was like get F****D!!!

[The boy 4rm oz]

Overseas is usually that long. Plus it is a small order and I'm pretty sure you didn't pay for express post. 20days isn't that long.

[nevermind1534]

I ordered some LEDs with resistors from China between one and two months ago, they said 7-20 days, and I got them in 10 or 11.

[The boy 4rm oz]

The 7-20 is a rough estimate by the business. They take into account altering flight plans and such.

[DonT-FeaR]

yea i was annoyed but oh well the pccg stuff isnt here and is annoying me alot

free postage on the leds

[DonT-FeaR]

well.....

my mother board is getting sent off for repair or replacement and the parcels are taking there sweet time and.... i just ordered a 22" asus ws :) and,,,, got an ex government pc for free

and another on on the way... that one needs ram lol

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice. Those ASUS monitors are good but are WAY overpriced for how they perform.

[DonT-FeaR]

258 bucks i thought that was pretty good :)

[The boy 4rm oz]

MSY have a Samsung for the same price which performs much better. All in all it is better in technical tests, you pribably wont be able to tell the difference anyway.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol ill look...

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8153

[SXRguyinMA]

looks like fun!

[The_Crippler]

First of all, happy belated birthday. Looks like you guys had fun. That picture of your grandfather reminds me of how my own used to goof around.

Nice monitor, and it's a good reason to slack on your project - Now get back to work!

[DonT-FeaR]

lol
cheers guys

@ the boy 4rm oz - tones of fun, its an asus g2 laptop :) killer screen very reckomended.....by me, only thing i cant get the res past 1680x1050

@SXRguy - deffinately was

@the_crippler - belated?? ill look that up lol.... was great fun from friday morning to sunday night i had like 5 hours sleep.. yea we made grandpa do that funny as photo.... one for his next big birthday.. :)


ill get back to work... another update tonight hopefully..



EDIT: belated.. late lol idiot (ME) thanks... was on the 9th...

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah the ROG is the series of laptop. ASUS now put ROG (republic of gamers) on all their enthusiast products (motherboards etc.).

BTW 1680 x 1050 is the max res for your monitor. If you want anything higher you will have to force it using the Nvidia control panel or a utility like PowerStrip for example. That's why I want a 24" monitor, slightly better resolution, especially for graphic design.

[DonT-FeaR]

ah ok.... wish i knew that now :)

oh well still kicks ass

[DonT-FeaR]

an update???

well here goes..

Sometimes people leave me such great openings that it's hard to resist some crude humor.


But, anyway, Gamer Chicks: The world needs more of them. Until we bought a Wii, my wife never understood what I liked about games.

[Acey]
