My Thermaltake LED ram sink in action...by the way the 2 switches below the temp LCD regulate the LED pattern on the ram sink, and the other turns the flourescent lights ON/OFF

Here's inside the front panel, alongside with some killer pics of top chikks in the Matrix, i've got the CoolerMaster audio/HD sensor (cant recall the model #)

The 5" cover folds down, to reveal the bleeder vavles for the kooling sys.

[richmandudeus]

Nice execution on your mod. Great job. :)

[DaveW]

Looks pretty sweet! Is that a powdercoat paintjob?

-Dave

[XcOM]

looks sexy

[thekxfly]

by the looks of it its soundproofing materal you wraped rou the case yes?

[snickells]

Very cool :p I love the remote looking thing on the front. Well done!

[VandaL]

The paint was "stone speckle"....and the sides were - believe it or not pipe insulation for plumbing ...foamy type stuff....good thing was that 7 feet cost $0.75 ;)

Glad you guys/gals like it...

[jdbnsn]

Very cool futuristic look. Is that top dive bay an lcd screen? Or a lit panel, I can't tell.

[VandaL]

No, its just a flip down panel, with a pic of Trinity....

[SinDicate]

do you happen to have a before pic of the case??

Awesome job :D

[Aero]

Very cool. Glad to see another Matrix mod. A good movie deserves a good mod. Although the T3 fan grill is alittle out of place :p.

[mszo]

The temperature is really nice and low! And your desktop background has just got to be custom! Where did you ever get that?!

Sweet mod by the way

[VandaL]

hey guys...hehe..this post will answer 2 questions

i burnt my prevous board :( because i messed around with wires and didnt ground or :? somethin...long story short i got a new mobo, and had to reinstall windows - hence the WILD background hehe....and since i reinstalled it deleted my old photos wich i had like at least 30, to show every step possible...well heres a random pic from the net)

also the temp sensor is taped to the top of the HD, normally its about 33celcius...

and if you're wondering, the CPU is idle at 26-29, and 34-35 under heavy load (no OC...i have had it at 3.6 at low 30's)

and yeah this thing cost me a fortune ....so i was really cheap by the end, which is why i kept the original T3 grill

[TheAtomicMan]

Good job on the mod. Although the insulation is a bit... creative.
One question: What's with the lightbulb end?

[VandaL]

lol....yeahhhhhh.....ummm...actually the bulb end...it was only to cover up an empty hole of the insulation, because it looked silly empty, so thats it....i just looked around loose objects around the house, and i know ill never use this...so thats where it ended up

[TrickedOutPc]

Wow verry nice work!

[VandaL]

Hi, im glad my work was appreciated....and it inspired me to make another one....and so i have "spilled the beans" on the possibility of my upcoming mod

(please see the motherboard forum)
