Hi Everyone,

This is the third and final mod of the season for me. I am currently waiting for my philips ambx to arrive for my "AIO AL" (a.k.a. "Nameless" mod also posted on here) and to get my hands dirty on finishing the remake of the horns and other details on "Diabolo" (also posted on here). All three will be on show at the MLP event in Murcia, Spain from the 6th to the 11th of December.

Fallout Cause SP (Slim & Passive) is the succesor to my fav mod of my own creation "Fallout Cause", it was just a paintjob yet it was before I got in to making worklogs and Iīve learnt so much since then that I want to do something new in the same style as FC was.

About the conditions, maybe some of you remember my previous "Mod in a Week" project (a.k.a. Acid Burn), the conditions are the same, Start to Finish happens within a week, starting to day, Saturday 26-11-11 so it will be finished by Saturday the 3rd of December as the latest.

All products needed have to be bought/ordered and received within this period. This of course puts limitations on what I can use but thatīs also part of the fun in this kind of project.

I chose to start today as the products from the sponsor for this project arrived.

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/logo1.jpg

Informatica Outlets is simply the must go to website in Spain for great deals on hardware and all needed components to build a PC. So thank you very much Informaticaoutlets.com for your sponsorship on this project!

The products sponsored for this project are:

B-Move Slim II M-ATX low profile case

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/1.JPG

Intel Celeron Dual Core E3400

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/2.JPG

ASUS EN210 GeForce

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/5.JPG

Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT Motherboard

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/6.JPG

Other products sponsored include a memory card reader for the case, a 250gb seagate barracuda sata2 hard drive and an LG CD/DVD rewriter.

As the name of the project suggests, I am aiming for making the whole computer passive, i.e. no fans, which is why Iīve gone for the ASUS 210 low profile silent GPU, and the celeron intel cpu, as itīs a low end basic cpu, it should be the easiest socket 775 cpu to cool without fans, just a heatsink and decent thermal paste. Other products Iīve acquired today for this project are:

Thermaltake Mini-Typhoon CPU Cooler

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/3.JPG

2x2Gb Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz (I know this mobo supports up to 1333 but its fine, it will help keep the ram cool to underclock it plus I got a simply great deal on them).

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/4.JPG

Letīs start then.

1st Day - Saturday 26-11-2011

So Iīve done a quick bench-test to make sure all the hardware is working fine and in deed, no problems whatsoever.

Because the B-Move Slim II is a low profile m-atx case I pressume meant for an HTPC, most aftermarket heatsinks will not fit, but I canīt use the stock intel heatsink because itīs cooling power is virtually non-existant without a fan. So Iīve gone for the thermaltake mini-typhoon as I got a great deal on it and it has a decent copper surface that should keep the cpu cool enough without a fan. So I mounted it with Noctua NX-1 thermalpaste, and went on to do some temp testing without a mounted fan. On idle I get 54c, on stress testing, it doesnīt go over 76c now, this are high temps for such a cpu, but remember itīs being passive cooled and the temps are within safe boundaries so I can check that off the list.

Again because the case is low profile, the cooler will not fit even without a fan, I knew this, hell, I wanted this to happen so I could cut a hole on the side of the case to expose the copper which will add to the final look, if any of you have seen my original Fallout Cause, youīll know exactly what I mean : )

So, 1st, letīs cut the hole:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/7.JPG

Now to test it on the case:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/8.JPG

Very nice fit! next issue, the cpu coolerīs mounting possition means that the ram doesnīt fit because of itīs cooler, thing is, I like the cooler and rather not have to shave the trimmings off, so, did some measurements, and it would seem cutting off one of the cpu coolerīs pipes is the way to go, so thatīs what I did:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/9.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/10.JPG

Now for mounting tests:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/11.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/12.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/13.JPG

Now as you can see it fits fine but its in contact with the ram stick by very little, my question is, would this affect anything in any way? would it transfer heat to the ram heatsink or the other way round? Should I trim the ram heatsink?

Thatīs it for today, tomorrow I prep further modification to the case, I am planning on openings and signs of aging and damage caused by rust and the extreme conditions of a fallout post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Thanks for reading! : )

EDIT: Just though Iīd add based on a response on another forum, that I was very carefull when cutting the heatpipe in case I needed to weld it back on due to there being liquid inside that evaporates when heating, but there is nothing inside, with a bit of research I found that, not all coolers have this inside, is this normal? I know this is a low end cooler but, normal? thanks!

2nd Day - Sunday 27-11-11

Today is destruction day, I will make all the destroyed sections of the case to give it that fallout rusted out/cannonīd out look. When I get to the painting part I will aid this look by giving a rust look to all the edges and adding epoxy to simulate edges fusing togueter due to rust (i.e. the grills).

First thing however, is to trim that last lip of the memory module heatsink thatīs driving me mad due to it being in contact with the cpu cooler, so here we go:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/14.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/15.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/16.JPG

Much better, itīs barely noticeable and it is no longer in contact with the cpu heatsink.

Now itīs dremel time, I have to say Iīm surprised at how thick and strong the metal is on this case, specially having in mind itīs a low end case so itīs mostly made out of scrap metal as they tend to do, I went through 2 heavy duty dremel discs in order to complete all the cutting. Once done I plied them backwards for two reasons, first, be it bullets, blunt tools or other, the impact would always be towards the case so it makes sense itīs pushed inwards, the second reason being to prevent sharp edges on the outside.

Here we go:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/17.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/18.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/19.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/26.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/27.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/28.JPG

And that about does it, I though of adding more as certain parts of the case looked to "clean" if you know what I mean, but I can always add imperfections and artificial damages when doing the paintjob and itīs effects. I think my fav one is the chunk missing from the side that lets you look right in to the cpu heatsink.

Tomorrow I will add similar effects on a small scale to the front of the case obviously very carefully, donīt want to brake any of the hooks that attach it to the rest of the case.

But for today thatīs it. Thank you for reading!

Not sure if I mentioned it earlier here but in any case, I ran a 4h long stress test with max temp only going 3c over the original test, i.e. max temp under stress is 79c which is within safe boundaries, I have however set an alarm (bios option) if the cpu should go over 85c which is way before damage can happen to it. I am not sure if it will degrade over time in the future, if it comes ot it, I have another exactly the same cooler (as I bought them as part of a 2x1 deal, which was quite cheap). On a side note, to reduce heat further (regardless of cpu cooler decision) Iīll be testing voltages and going as low as possible, the celeron in itself doesnt produce that much heat, but this should help it further, the ram is also underclocked (to 1333) running stable at 1.5 (original spec say 9-9-9-24 @ 1.8v 1600). The motherboard diode indicates 28c and the mcp is at a stable 37 (48 under stresstesting), the hdd is at 28-36, that about summs up all temps. My current mindwarp is figuring out how tu run the small 300w psu fanless, other forums have mentioned adding a rather large heatsink, will have to explore this.

I hope that answers your question Twig, thanks for the comment! : )

i'd s@#t my pants if i saw 174F for a processor temperature, I'd venture to guess intel's IA-32 Thermal stepping is taking over and automatically halting CPU cycles in a last ditch effort to keep the processor from burning up.


a new thermal protection mechanism was introduced, allowing for the processor to automatically control the processor temperature before reaching the catastrophic shutdown temperature but at the expense of temporarily reducing processor performance. Current IA-32 processors use internal circuitry to periodically stop the internal clock to most of the processor. All interrupts during the modulated period are delayed but not lost. The processor time stamp counter continues to maintain count even during processor modulation. The duration of modulation is typically 1 msec intervals. At the end of each interval, the processor will again operate at full frequency. If the temperature is still above the second preset temperature level, the processor will again modulate the internal clock. If the temperature drops below the second preset level, the processor will continue to operate at its normal clock frequency. The effective processor performance is approximately 50% of full performance.

Not trying to hate, but temperatures like that can drastically reduce the life span of a processor from the expected 8 years down to 3 or less.. I mean they don't call it "Catastrophic shutdown temp" for no reason.

Not quite sure I follow you here, 79c while high is well within safety boundaries, normally cpus will totally shut down at 100c as far as I know. Hopefully temps will be lower with lower voltage, but its the thing with trying tu run it passive, youīre bound to run in to high temps

3rd Day - Monday 28-11-11 - Update 1

Last night while I was in bed I started thinking about the things I should o today and if I should paint the philips ambx that arrived yesterday evening for the AIO AL project or leave that till I finished this one this saturday. While having the AIO AL project in my mind I though, hmm I wander if I could add a screen to this project, I know I cant integrate it on the side because thereīs no extra sheet of metal, pretty much the side is what the mobo is attached too. I know I canīt use fiberglass to attach it to it because while it would look decent, it wouldnīt have air breathing, and it would just overheat, not to mention adding heat to the sheet and therefore to the mobo and cpu, so that was a no go, figured Iīd scrap that idea and I went to sleep. This morning however while I was looking at the screen and the case it bothered me because I really liked the concept of adding a screen but couldnīt find a way to do it, but I had some spare time so I figured Iīd take the screen apart and see if an idea popped in to my head, as I removed the bezel and platform I clicked, mounts! itīs so obvious, why on earth didnīt I think of that before!

So I took some measurements, did some screen hw mounting within the tower checked cable lenghts, everything checks out. So started to process.

First thing, a straight cut wide enough to pass cables through and use them as a grip for the mounting:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/29.JPG

Now it was time to make the hole big enough for the bolt to go through, so figured Iīd use the dremel to make a small starting hole, took forever to go through that, I hadnīt realised just how thick that sheet of metal was. Once done I took a drill, with the right drillbit on started, took me about 40 minutes to do both holes, mainly because I didnīt want to press to hard so not to go spoil the drillbit, eventually got there and installed the first mount:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/30.JPG

added some washers and tightened it up:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/31.JPG

Now the second one and a test mount:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/32.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/33.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/34.JPG

Feels quite solid, I think I will add some feet on the opposite side so no stress is on the screwed in side, so I will look for some later on.

Now for a proper test mount of the screenīs psu and chipset:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/35.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/36.JPG

And it fits perfectly:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/37.JPG

Thatīs it for now, I will post a second update later today.

Thanks for reading!

3rd Day - Monday 28-11-11 - Update 2

Gave everything a final sand down, cleaned it up and gave it a coat of primer:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/38.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/39.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/40.JPG

For some reason the image of the primed front part of the case was corrupted but eh, nothing important.

After waiting drying time I applied 2 coats of glossy black, now I have matt black but I used glossy in order to be able to sand it down so fragments will remain a bit shiny which will add further to that used and thrown about look.

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/41.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/42.JPG

For the devices mounting point since some will be seen through grills or holes I decided to try something new, I watered the paint down more than usual (added an extra part of water) in order to prevent it from being a solid color and included an acrilic brown compound normally used for plastic and metal surfaces that imitate wood (I guess you could call it an artificial wood barnish), I ended up quite liking it!

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/43.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/44.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/45.JPG

Thatīs it for today, tomorrow I will be going down to my local paint supplies shop to acquire the colors that Iīll be using and the rust effect compound.

Thanks for reading!

4th Day - Tuesday 29-11-11

Today has been a bit slow, this is because I went to buy the yellow I wanted to use for this, and they didnīt have the exact one I wanted in the usual paint I use. So I bought the tone in a paint Iīve never used, itīs still acrilic and is completely fine and compatible with the primer and lacquer I use, itīs purely itīs water/paint/density rations that are different, no idea why. It has ups and downs, the up is that itīs much thicker than the paint I normally use, meaning two coats is enough for a solid color. The down is that it takes 4-5 times longer to dry, which is fine if youīre doing a solid colour, you just get it over with and leave it overnight to cure. But when you want to add other tones on top like I will be doing, itīs annoying because you waste a lot of time on it being ready for the next coat. But aniway doesnīt really matter. I covered the sections I dont want yellow and started painting.

First Coat:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/46.JPG

Second and last yellow coat:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/47.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/48.JPG

Have to wait till tomorrow but the process will be darkening it with a black paint mist so no area has the same tone, sanding it down first to prep for coating and further down to show usage and deterioration right in to the metal. Once done, rusting effects all over the place, more concentrated obviously where there are openings.

Itīs easier to show you than to explain it, but youīll see tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!

5th Day - Wednesday 30-11-11 - Update 1

Itīs paint effects day!

First I took off all the masking tape used to make the lines and I descovered I didnīt totally cover one of the grates so paint leeched through to the inside of the case. At first I was like, easy fix, just repaint the inside, end of that. But as I looked at it further, I kind of like the effect, it gives the inside a bit of a glow, so for now Iīm going to keep it:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/49.JPG

What do you guys think? Keep it? or repaint the inside black as it was originally?

Aniway, now the the important part, here you have the outside with the exterior masking tape removed:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/50.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/51.JPG

Now with the interior tape removed and the first two effects done, darkening of the colour in an irregular pattern and with copper dark red drops everywhere to simulate dirt and other paint degradation/damage:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/52.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/53.JPG

While that is drying I went ahead and started sanding down all corners and curves in the other part of the case to simulate abuse:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/54.JPG

and applied the rusting effect:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/55.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/56.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/57.JPG

Repeated the process with the lcd panelīs frame:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/58.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/59.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/60.JPG

Now that itīs dry, I started doing the rust effect to one of the openings on the side of the case, hereīs the first layer:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/61.JPG

And the second irregular layer with the second component, essentially giving the final look to the rust on that opening:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/62.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/63.JPG

Thatīs it for now, a second update later today, thanks for reading!

5th Day - Wednesday 30-11-11 - Update 2

Cold cathodes and wirless keyboard/mouse arrived which Iīll be using (and in the case of k+m, modifying it) on this project.

I continued applying usage, abuse and rusting to the borders, openings and imperfections of the case:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/64.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/65.JPG

Now the back of the case, which you wont eventually see much off since the screen will be mounted on it but still:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/66.JPG

And finished with the front side:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/67.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/68.JPG

And the top:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/69.JPG

Tomorrow I will deal with the front:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/41.JPG

Still havenīt decided what to do with it.

Once that is out of the way I will assemble the case to have a complete look to it and see if I feel like changing something or if I have to do any touch ups and so on.

I will also get started (and hopefully finish?) with the keyboard and mouse.

The day after that, which is the final day I will assemble the whole thing and take some final picks.

Thanks for reading!

6th Day - Thursday 01-12-11 - Update 1

1st of the month, white rabbits! :D

cough*cough*ahem... aniway!

As I mentioned yesterday, the wireless keyboard and mouse arrived. I couldīve gone for something fancier but to be honest I really like the standard logitech oem combo, itīs cheap, great quality, sturdy and lasts just about forever. So here we go, keyboard sanded down, masked and ready for painting:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/70.JPG

First layer done:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/71.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/72.JPG

And the same process as with the rest, darkening, particles, and... rust! Iīd never though Iīd say this, but, I really really really like the whole rusty look itīs turning out to have (originally I planned for only a bit).

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/73.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/74.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/75.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/76.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/77.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/78.JPG

And now Iīd like to thank everyone on every forum this is posted who helped me out with suggestions for the front of the case.

I ended up mixing two suggestions, one was rusted out front and the other one was olive green light coat with a light coat of the yellow I used on the rest of the case on top, so here you have the result:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/79.JPG

This for me is quite simply, the cherry on top:

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/82.JPG

http://www.neonit.net/images/falloutcausesp/83.JPG

Took me about 2 and half to 3 hours to get it just right, to get that look like itīs been stamped on the case rather than painted (in my oppinion aniway), hope you guys like it!

Tomorrow starts the final day (ends mid-day saturday), and as of now, all the modifying and painting is finished so tomorrow I will be assembling it all togueter (ps: didnīt take pictures but the psu, dvd rw and hd have been painted black, itīs almost my signature thing to paint all possible components so... nothing fancy, just mainly so no ugly grey bits to see through the openings) and taking loads of pictures of the final look which will conclude succesfully the "Mod in a Week" challenge.

Thanks for reading : )

7th Day - Friday 02-12-11

Assembly took longer than I thought it would but almost there, the following pictures are the process, because I had to remove the HDD cage from bellow to install the monitorīs hardware and hide cables I had to dismantle the memory card reader to take out the pcb and cut the frontal plastic part that goes with it. Once done and used silicone glue to put them togueter and again to attach it to the case (as you will see in one of the pictures), this allowed me to install the hdd where that would normally go (i.e. enough space to do so now). The cathodes are barely visible but are at the top and on the right side. Also due to popular demand, I replaced the cpu cooler with another exactly the same one, modified the 775 adaptor so I could shift it half a centimetre to right so Iīd be able to rotate the cooler to a possition where the heatpipes are pointing up and down as opposed to the side so it doesnīt prevent me from installing both modules of ram:

Update:

Project is now completed however I have ran in to a problem with the mounted screen, it doesnīt seem to be getting power, Iīve checked the usual culprits to no avail and I dont currently own a voltimetre which is unconveniente. Going to dismantle the screenīs hw and test it on a wooden bench, maybe itīs shorting out. Because I want the final picks to show an image I will wait to upload them till I get this fixed between today and monday.

Update

Fixed the screen, one of the cables mustīve cought somewhere and was damaged, severing the link between the screenīs psu and the lcd panel. So I cut that section off and soldered new cable to both ends, works fine now. Took me hours of looking and trying stuff till I saw the small brake in the cable and of course later I had to put it all togueter in the case again.

Aniway, Iīm knakered and now I have to go some event to be social which I donīt really feel like but promised I would so... Aniway, I will set it all up for a shoot tomorrow to get a nice gallery of final pictures.

Final Pictures - Set 1

Hi everyone!

Right, as promised, here is a first set of the final pictures. I say first set because Iīm not happy with them, light conditions, the need to use flash and reflections on the case by nearby windows, the table (that was a dumb idea) and so on, make the project look different, they make it look shiny (which is not), they distort the colors, you can barely see the green glow, etc

The point is, because Iīm out of time right now I give you these just as a preview of some nicer final pictures which I will take at the modding event starting tuesday. Regardless, I hope you enjoy them : )

This concludes the "Mod in a Week" challenge (for the second time, anyone remember my first one or has it been forgotten already? :P) and I hope you enjoyed reading and watching as much as I did doing it.

As promised, set 2 of the final pictures, the ones I consider the true final pictures. As youīll notice thereīs a fan on the cpu cooler, this is because I have just gotten back from the modding event and because it was on 24h for 6 days, I didnt feel comftable leaving it with no cooling whatsoever being on for such a long time.

Thank you everyone for reading and I can now trully say this project is completed, enjoy:
