looks good to me. Its computer related.
Next time with a little planning you won't have to hack a part down to fit. J/K
He He, so true. I guess it is at it's essence of the term "modding" though...;)
nice work - very clever. Good job using the USB to power the fans.
Good job, nice to see everything worked out after some... um... improvising. I built a similar one for my brother's laptop out of bent acrylic, never took pics, he has it at school now, I'll see if I can get a picture.
Given the lack of planning I was half expecting to readQuote:

See those red and black wires with the heatshrink sleeving? That's an example of what I was talking about here :DQuote:

Ha Ha, well, I'd be lying if I said that wasn't possible. It's not that I don't like to plan, it's just that I like to start slapping things together and improvision is exciting to me, I am not always as interested in perfection or details. But sometimes I am, just depends on what I'm doing. And by the way, the wires you mentioned are simply being kept separate from the power leads. That is two heatshrink tubes, not one. I just took the data wires and put them in their own insulation.Quote:

Nope, they are in separate sleeves. It's just the way they are positioned in the photo I guess. Then a bigger sleeve is covering the mesh tube and sort of overlaps there.Quote:
