Steeler Curtain

[rodrosenberg]

Thought I should post of some photos of the Steeler Mod I built over the last couple months.

The base idea for the case is modeling it after the helmet of the Steelers, black with a yellow stripe and the logo on one side(and yes the Steelers only wear the logo on one side of the helmet.)

Its a very clean classic case mod I had to replace the LED's in all the fans with yellow ones along with the HDD LED and power LED I also used two 12" PCB LED Stips with 16 LEDs each on the inside on each side of the window. All the panels were removed and the entire guts of the case were painted Steeler yellow

Enjoy

Rod

Nice idea and a good work:up::up::up: Only for me the water cooling fail, but I know that it costs a lot of, unfortunatly. Well and the internal space could be a little bit cleaner.

But all in all it´s a good work!!!!

Nice man, the case looks sweet, and the keyboard idea is great!

[rodrosenberg]

Thanks I got the idea from playing jokes on people by switching the layout on there keyboards... The fun of working in IT

Check Bcf Catalogue (https://www.catalogueau.com/bcf/) and Ezibuy Catalogue (https://www.catalogueau.com/ezibuy/).

I love that keyboard mod!


I used to work on a helpdesk, and I was bored one night so I swapped a bunch of keys around. The next day I came in for my shift, and the guy sitting in the next cubicle says to me, "Dont use that station, the keyboard doesnt work."

I sat down anyways and logged in fine. He was floored; "How come it worked for you?!"

I explained to him what I did.. he was so mad that he went and complained to a manager, and I get called to his office for "defacing company property".

My words exactly: "If you cant type without looking at the keyboard, how can you help customers on the phone and record the details of their call at the same time?" I offered to change the keys back to normal, and that was that. :)

I can type without looking, but only if I don't think about the typing.

I was actually just wondering where you got the LEDs from. They seem so bright I was actually hoping to get something similar. The case looks great. Thanks! :)

I got all the LED items off ebay

I used 5MM 5000MCD Yellow Flashing on the side panel fan

3mm 3000mcd Yellow on the front fan

5mm 5000mcd on the HDD LED and front case light

Then 2 13" PCB's with 16 LEDs on each I put these along window on each side.

LEDs work great its easy to power with 12v and you can mod and hack the wire like crazy

I will warn you not to be bright lied like these pointing at the viewer they are way to bright and ruin a good mod imo
