this update is 3 days late, sorry guys, i had lots of stuff to do, to start it was my birthday on Tuesday so this is a birthday special. if your wondering what i got? ...... i got a few cloths some shoes and some random bits and bobs.
i also treated myself by ordering some nice parts 3 weeks though an english guy who is working out in the USA till June and he shipped them over to me. if you wound like to use his service please visit this page http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/foru...pic.php?t=2770 i wound highly recommend him if you are struggling to get parts in the uk.
so here is what i treated myself to, everything is from www.performance-pcs.com accept the ram cooler which i brought second hand from a mate over at WCUK.
So to start the ram cooler, which is a Corsair Dominator, which has black cable sleeving (i'm going to remove this to make way for my white cable sleeving). the ram cooler is in perfect condition just a bit of dust and few little scratches, but that doesn't matter because i will get some nice new stickers for it. now for the photos
Next up is a set of black Lian Li black metal casters, with brake.
The one with the brake will go at the back of the case.
Switches, and i tell you these are nice, they are black Lamptron Vandal Resistant Illuminated Switch white a White Ring, i have 3 which have no wires attached, and one with wires attached for the power switch which has been sleeved in white braiding
now for the most important bit of the order the Lian Li MotherBoard Tray, i tell you this is nice just as nice as the switches. i like the lian li stuff so much more after watching this video on huxus tv http://www.hexus.tv/show/2007/11/Exc...tory_facility/ which shows how there made and around the offices, and i tell you there hand made, how many cases can you say are hand made.
now for another important item the white cable sleeving, i did try and get this in the uk but no where sold white 3mm cable sleeving by the foot, i could get black but i want white. so i ordered 30 meters of it the same length as the pipe which will go over the sleeving
i also got a psu bracket but i didn't get a photo of it, i won't accultey be using it on the case, i will use it for marking out.
About what modding will be done this weekend. to start i will try and finish the side panel and the front bezel and start work on the back of the case and the layout in the case, deciding between ATX or BTX setup, Where the rads will go, psu where abouts and much more
i will also do some test with the sleeving, and mod my dvd drive, more info on this tomorrow.
thanks for reading guys, please post comments as it helps me get motivated to work,
till next time happy modding
I love that white braid. I am gonna need to get some for the next mod I have in mind.
it is really nice, i went for white, as it is a black case and white will show up plus not many people use it :DQuote:

ok fist of i wound like to say if anyone wants to do these mods there are 2 well written guides, (click links)
Remote DvD Drives: http://www.daejavoo.com/pages/moddin...full-guide.php
Led's In DvD Dives: http://www.daejavoo.com/pages/moddin...full-guide.php
Ok my victim of choice a Asus 20x lightscribe dvd drive, brought from Nexus-t http://www.nexus-t.co.uk/viewproduct.asp?Id=15859
Now for opening up, (just ignore the warrtey sticker, can always replace it
Bottem cover off
front bezel off
Top off
No for the chosen places to be modded, first pics is of the eject button which i will soldier to wires on for a switch when i stealth my drive and the second is where the led's will go
i will show first the Led's i am doing it slightly different that what is shown in the guide but it is based on the same idea.
the led's ready to be made
with wire and heat shrink attached
i have marked out where the tray is on the back of the drive so i now how much space i have got for putting in my Led's
i have drilled 3 holes for the Led's and a hole for the switch wires
a little test fit of the wires
now for the cables for the leds which there will get the power from
just test fitting the leads
i put the cover back on the dive to see if it fitted but no not really, so i have marked where i have to dremel to make it fit
Ooooh, looks interesting.
oooo it is, be afraid me very afraid of what i have planed, i have 101 designs on how i will finish this mod, all i'm saying planning on finishing around end of july time, so that give you the scale of what is going in to this
now for the switch, i have attached two wires to the pins of the eject button on the front of the drive
then i routed the wires out the back of the drive
i noteched when i was doing that, that the PCB didn't fit back right so i had to drill a hole at the back for the wires
thats it for now till next time happy modding

Right guys sort of left you lot in the dark alot about this project, but you problebly won't understand. But today as well as showing a little update i would like to share the plan for the rest of the year with you.
So before we get on with plan, i think it is time for the update, (WAHOOO)
Update - 3rd January 2009 - Bottom and Top of Case
Right Lets start at the bottom and work are way up with this update, not going to say much as must people just look at photos.
The basic idea is that i have raised up two section either side of the case for the wheels to mount, using body filler and acrylic for this task.
I have mounted my lian li wheels on the raised section as you will see below. So i'll stop talking and show you lot some photos.
The bottom is not finished yet as i got a few more thing s to do before i finalize the rest of it.
So now onto the top, I have added the acryan Rad grill, kindley sponsored by them :) and mouted it on the top.
I also enlaged the out side holes in doing this as i CBA to buy new bolts :)
I will be changing the top later so that grill is temporary :( but i think the new one will be better more details later.
Well thats it for while, noing me :) so thanks for looking, and look out for the new plan later today :)
Looking good; I'm glad this mod isn't dead. +rep
WOW, it has been a long time hasn't it lol. Glad to see you are still working on this. Nice progress.
wooo, thanks guys :) means a lot, and yer, i'm near death but not dead just yet :)
Hardware
Right first lot of changes is the PSU i have changed the Thermaltake PSU to a Corsair TX650W PSU, which allows me to add another GPU, so i can RUN 2 x GPU card>
GPU, I had brought another EVGA 8800GT to go sli, thats the reason of the above upgrade, but the first 8800GT Died and got RMA'ed :(, From that RMA i got my money back as they no longer do the card. I'm cool with that as did'nt want SLI anyway :). I am looking at the new XFX 4870 as it has black pcb and red DVI slots, The black will match the system better, than the green on the 8800GT and give me better performance for a longer life. (if you understand)
Ram, i have brought another kit of the same ram i have got giving me 4GB, i'm still running 32bit but will hopefully be going 64bit some time later this year :)
Nice man, you can never have enough tech lol.
yerp ;) so tempting to make myself some custom blocks tho :rolleyes:Quote:
