Unlucky mate. I still have to go get my two fans for the radiator. I just can't get to the shop. Hopefully Friday.

Unlucky mate. I still have to go get my two fans for the radiator. I just can't get to the shop. Hopefully Friday.
nice job on the bays looks great
Thanks mate, glad you like them.
I got my order of fans on Friday. I will post some pics later this arvo. Homework is a priority at the moment :(.
no deal.. pix.. NOW... lol
If it is any consolation I have already taken the pics, I just need to upload them. I will hopefully have an update within the next hour or so.
Well I have another update for you guys today, not modding unfortunately, just tech. Everyone loves new tech ;).
I guess this is a bit over due since I got the items on Friday but I had a busy weekend and couldn't get the update up.
Well here is my order:
1x TP-LINK 108Mbps wireless network card
2x Antec Tri-Cool 120mm Blue LED fans
2x OCZ RAM coolers
Here is the fan unpackaged. They come with a 3 to 4 pin adapter and it is good to see the connectors are all black apposed to white like my 80mm fans. Also the fans have a built in 3 speed fan controller, very handy. With both fans on medium I can barely hear them.

I then attached the fans and the radiator to the floor of the case. Fits like a glove:
Here is a pic of the bits that come with the OCZ RAM cooler:
You get the cooler top which houses the two 60mm fans, two sets of feet (you chose depending on what your RAM slots are like) and you get two thumb screws, 2 plastic washers and 2 normal screws.
I then installed the cooler onto my 4GB of RAM:
Powered up:
The fans will eventually get the same UV treatment as the rest of them. I am trying to get my hands on some AC Ryan UV green black majic paint to re do them all.
Last but not least we have the wireless card:
I would show you some pics of it installed but it isn't working and therefore doesn't deserve to be anywhere near my rig lol.
Well that's all for now. I need to do some modding this week. Perhaps the planning for the pump platform? Until then...
Happy Modding.
It's nice to see the update.
I only wish there was more to update on lol.
yea, lol. it sucks the wireless card doesnt work.
It's not that it doesn't work it's just that it keeps dropping signal. My old card never had this problem. It's also only showing up as 54Mbps not 108.
Here is the thread I started about the problem:

I just got off MSN with Sean (b4i7) and now I have the urge to mod that RAM cooler. I will post sketches after school.
Long time, no seeing ;) Still looking better! Respect for the huge amounts of time you invest in it.
heh....i cant wait to see your sketches! glad i could stir some ideas
Thanks for your comments guys. I really appreciate it.
I am still finalising the sketches and have a few more designs I want to sketch up before I post my sketches.
Well the update I made yesterday with my sketches is gone. I will have to post them again later.
Well I found the uploaded image of my sketches so here it is:
From left to right.
Option 1:
Basic cut out of the letters, may replace cut parts with black mesh, tie it in with the rest of the case.
Option 2:
Same as option one but with a line running parallel with the flow of the letters.
Option 3:
Completely different from the first two. The rectangle in the top left corner that reads "Project:" will actually be a piece of etched green plexi indented into a cut made into the cooler so it sits flat. The letters will be cut out in the same fashion as the others.
I am kinda leaning towards the third option. A bit more challenging and holds more physical appeal.
Also I found out what font NZXT use for their products (thanks to the NZXT forums), it's Tahoma Bold. I will be using this font for the text on the cooler mod.
Let me know what you think. Especially you Sean. If you guys have ideas post them up and I will have a look.
maybe number 3 with some wiiiiiide letters?
and looks goooood:D
awesome man i'm glad to see an update :) I'm really excited for what this thing's gonna turn out to be!
Keep it up!!
Yeah I should have put a not saying that those sketches were only a mock up done in class, hence the crookedness lol. I will make something quick up in word and import a print screen shot.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Here is what I came up with. I think this will look quite effective. Just picture the letters in the green white not black. I could make the other letters black also by using some black mesh behind the cuts. I will see what it looks like without mesh before I make my mind up.
What do you guys think?
It has just come to my attention that if I cut out the 'A' in LEXA the center piece will have no where to sit. I will be inlaying the letter cuts with black mesh. This will also tie the chrome cooler into the rest of the case design.
ok i didnt get all that but looks good and keep it up cant wait
Sounds really smart man!! Good thinking :)
I like the lexa a lot and i can't wait to see it when she's all finished :)
I've only said that 43654 times right?
:) :) + rep for using my favorite case :D
I am glad you are enjoying my mod Vexxx, I'm just glad to get positive feed back lol. I won't let you down. Thanks for the +rep.
The mod is on the final stretch now guys. I just need to place one final order than I can completely finish off the bottom panel.
All that's left to do is:
RAM cooler mod
Pump platform
Paint bottom panel
Sleeve remaining cables
Solder up the CCFL switches and extend some cables
AND
the water cooling
omg omg omg cant wait... im gunna love seeing this thing in person...? if i ever do.. omg omg omg ::P
Mate when it's done we will go LAN.
sweet!! when mines done to :P give me say.. 6weeks... i hope
love the case handles... love mesh... nice work
Thanks Saltter, I'm glad you like it.
No problem man :) I wanna order a Lexa realllyyyyy soon and put in a top window with the word Vexxx across it.. I love top windows :)Quote:

Haha thanks mate.
I will post a pic later today about my RAM cooler mod. I may also get cutting today if not I will do it tomorrow because I have a study day at home for exams, lucky me, I have no exams lol.
Well Image Shack wont let me upload the picture of the final design. I will cut it out anyway today and post up the finished pics when I can.
Haha thanks DT, I was wondering when I was gonna get your seal lol.
I am going to go start cutting up my RAM cooler in a minute, I just have to take the bin out first :(.
thats funny cuz that will take him like 10 mins lol long ass driveway i heard... cant wait to see it updates tonight? hope so
Well I started cutting, got most of it done but still Image Shack refuses to upload my images.
It's not that its a long driveway. It's just I have to go to the shed, grab the motor bike and the trailer, grab the bin, drop it off and then put everything back again. Very time consuming.
ROFL thats what i thought
We want pix we want pix we want pix we want pix
i completely agree, cant wait to see progress
Image Shack isn't being kind to me lol. I will try to upload some pics now.
dude i couldnt type because i had withdrawal simptons (cant spell)
