Re: scrapheap challenge!
thx for the +rep all:)
update about the raddy:D
finally got some spare time to play with the computer again
and cleaned my desktop:P
at school i made this for fun and to see how the text would turn out, it was just a quick skecth but i like it
look how thich this plate is:D 10mm xD took a lot of time to mill
for the raddy mount this was what i made first
i then decided to just make 2 plates that would hold each end
no chance of the mobo suffering of air need:D
from the rear
again
mounted with theese
and this was a little idea i had, gonna think a bit more about that heh
thats all for now, im wating on reply on how to get the missing parts and hopefully ill soon make enough money to buy em if i cant get something sponsored:D
until then:) have fun!

Re: scrapheap challenge!
just playing with the design for the top, take a look:)
scanning the drawing in and making it a texture
making splines above the text
correcting measures of splines
extruding the splines to get the text
applying text to a plate
the finished result with a glass plate on the back:
thats what i just got made:) im thinking of something in the middle under and above the text but didnt get that made today:) so now im going home:D
have fun lads^^

Re: scrapheap challenge!
finally got the parts done!... my group mate came 2 hours late so suddenly we had alot to do:/.. but i managed to make a little of my own once in a while:)
the results (no wip sorry... but guess you know the drill:P):
and this is how they are to be placed:
the wholes i countersunk
so it would look like this:banana:
you can really see the milling traces xD... looks kinda cool actually so i think ill keep it this way
and the fun part! tapping:bunny: dont know why but i love this part :smoker:
there is only one little problem, you would notice that on the first picture there is a gab between the bar and the plexi... this is why:
... have to countersink this mofo:).. but then everything should fit like a glove:D
and you may have noticed all the closeups:P... i "borrowed" my sisters cam and went mental... this was what came from that:
that was what i had to offer:banana::banana::banana:
comments are highly recommended or else the dog is gonna eat you!:alien:

Re: scrapheap challenge!
have a look at this:D
the hoses to the harddrive compartment
and i put it all together after having cleaned and sanded the edges down on the alu pieces i made
that thing is rock solid:O
the large screws is gonna be replaced with some shorter ones:P... but i didnt have any other xD
and this sucks... i kinda knew it but choose to forget about it:/ have to do some dremel work here... the bit thing has to be clear of the plexi
and some perspective shots:)
and got a hold of theese 4 cobber pieces:D:D:D gonna use them for something... havent decided what yet:P
but there are many thing to do with such goddies:D
cu later:) hope you like:D

Re: scrapheap challenge!
well.. anyway here is some tease pics and a question
do you know if i can plug my laing pump directly to a fancontroller? beacuse i would like to be able to adjust the speed of it since it is really noisy:O its just 12 volt as a normal fan so i would guess its posible... do you know, or should i buy a expensive pump controller (would prefer not xD)
teaser pics of wc loop:

what happened:
i got new mobo, new ram, and i got the whole thing assempled:D only need the top now! and som smaller yeda yeada stuff!
here we goooo (best mario voice)
had to make a smaller opp because my sata power cables wasnt long enough:/
not much to say... the result wasnt nice at all but it works:) and noone will ever see beneath the motherboard... (i hope)
old dead mobo test fit
under mobo
the whole where all wires comes from!
tryid to make som cable manegement downthere:/... did i succeed?
how the waterblock is gonna sit
outtake from the harddrive compartment.. with just this one fan the drives gets about 32 celcious hot:O... guess its because there is nothing else to heat that compartment up:S
damn:/
yeah.... ram! ram! ramadingdong!
and mobo! wuuusaaaah
with waterblock
in the system with all wires connected:/.. kinda messy :D
with the little cooler to the chipset because of the watercooling
ready for loop filling!
mhh... i love that card:D
fluid
trying to boot with the mod in its rightfull place... the screen table is temporary till i get some extention cords:)
loads of faults:/... had to mess almost everything up just to get the bastard to boot lol!
it was not beacuse of the mobo and chipset change alone^^ it simply wouldnt let me install xp on any drives lol... seemed that the old xp install was fragged, so had to play a bit to get that thing to work so i could repair it and reinstall it... sounds just about as dumb as it was xD
drive testing... booooring
light up
YEEAAAH!!! MAX RES! "lol"
light! LIGHT! YEAH!!!!
this build in res is causing to many probs:/... think ill put it out of the loop... more info to come:D
harddrive compartment
and finally, after 12 hours the beast was ready to rumble again!... first thing after the new install was a new wallpaper and theme:D... my god i hate the standard windows -.-
