[masbuskado]

http://casemods.newmodcity.com/codename69/cn69.jpg

This will be my other entry for the NMC Case Modding Showdown 2009 in the Modding Masters Category.

I start this project on sunday August 30, 2009

I decided to change the way I post most of my Project and create a Work-Video Log.

The Plan of this project started in the NMC Forum so if it's ok I can post the linkback to the thread if not just let me know!

The Plan here: http://forum.newmodcity.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=216

Second Mobo Painted!

[Luke122]

You are braver than me! I wouldn't paint a motherboard... looks wicked cool though!

[artoodeeto]

is it normal paint on the circuit boards, or is there some special non-conducting type? Or is paint in general non-conducting? I've thought about painting my motherboard, but the last thing I want to do is kill it and have to buy a new one...

Well this is the more important update of all because after painting 2 Mobos and test them to see if they still working after the coat of paint... finally I get to test my theory of powering 2 Motherboards with 1 Power Supply. So please watch the video update and let me know what you think!!! :)

I know that I only show you the easy but after 3 days trying to make the 9 mobo to work, it wasn't showing any sign of video I almost retire this board for good but after given it a closer look I noticed that some of the AGP pins in the socket were pull back and they should be forward to make contact with the VGA card so I grab a needle and fix it and here we are...
