hahaha... It's not stupid, but fun... But one thing i learned, those things you said, it's not drinkable, it gives you some mental disturbing... :D

Just tea, called gree-tea. I drink it from herbalife because is easy to do, just drop some on cold water and drink...

See you !

Pedro Torres.

hey the case looks better every time i see it. but how come you didn't water cool the cpu?!

i think the aero flower cpu cooler from zalman is an awesome air cooler and works nearly as well as water cooling. for aesthetics, the aero flower wins!

Hey, well, i just think using an aero cooler will improve air circulation on case helping to cool down the temps. Also, it is really beautifull and huge and silent.

If i won some WC solutions from CM contest i´ll do another project cooling down everything with water !

Thanks !

You´re absolutly rigth ! This cooler i´ve instaled is really eficient on system refrigeration and helps to cool down other components on mobo, like north and south bridge

Thanks !

I´ve started the second part of mod, look the news:


Notebroked:

Hot stuff:

A theme relative screw set:

Analog vga temp display:

Refreshing memos:

I´ll work on electrical parts, doing sleevings and cable managements.

Also, i´ll do a monitor base on fiberglass.

See you soon...

Pedro Torres.

2nd fase begins:

Video:


Photos:

I´ll fabricate another ET face on transparente plexi so it will not interfere with interior colors and lights, also, i´ll do a base to 19" monitor.

See you soon !

Pedro Torres.

Old monitor base changing..

Cool, dude! Very creative reservoir and top-piece. I like the mod so far, but wonder if you may have a bit too many colors going on in there. Just my opinion, still a great mod!

Thanks for ur kindly coment jdbnsn,

I'll do an airbrush job yet. Will paint the front panels tools with yellow and case body with a metal cotè paint, aluminium polished, natural shadows, titanium white, yellow ocre...

The cable sleeving i´ll do will contribute for color correction.

The colors will fit at the end of work, at this moment, it is like a mess of colors witch no sense at all.

glad you aproved the alien pieces.

See you !

Pedro Torres.

I should have learned by now to reserve my comments until the job is finished. Carry on my Brazilian friend!

P.S. How was Carnivale?

Carnivale was explendorous, amazing, fantastic !! :P

You miss...

Thank you very much,

Pedro Torres.

Feet developments. I´ll do the same texture i used on case, so, i´ll test the airbrush paint i´ll use there on this base:

Thank you !

Pedro Torres.

Edit: One thing i forgot to tell:

NV 7900GTX GPU TEMPS BEFORE AQUAGATE-VIVA on CSS:
IDLE: 54~56
FULL: 70~76

AFTER AQUAGATE-VIVA on CSS:
IDLE: 46~47
FULL: 57~58

STUNTING RESULTS !

Nice to over now !

:P

Just received the news of a new sporsorship, won 2 sata blue UV reactive cables from www.SellTech.com.br

Hi GT40_GearHead,

I´ve got this piece at www.performance-pcs.com a really nice casemod store on USA, maybe, the best.

See you,

Pedro Torres.

This stuff makes me postergate the painting of monitor base for tomorrow. I only found it around midnight and get sleepy, so, i decided do the paint job tomorrow morning.

See you tomorrow

Pedro Torres.

pictures

use teflon tape if you try it for the air compressor fitting. make sure not to over tighten as the metal is thin and can easily strip the thread.

those purple spots are from the mustard oil. i'm not sure if thats the colour of it or it reacting to the paint. but now that i really think of it i don't think it was becuase of that. i think its just purple paint.

then for a "power source" i grabbed a empty tank they used for the drive clean and welded a nut onto it, added a air compressor fitting and now have a portable tank of compressed air. here are some pictures of it.

yes the weld ain't pretty but it doesn't leak. i did this with one other tank and i have to weld it then braze it to get it to stop leaking. this one didn't leak at all. i did it with oxy- acetylene. also while i was welding i looked away for a second and blew a hole right threw it. so i had to patch it back up.

Really thanks for the models you entered, i really apreciated that !

Thank you,

Pedro Torres

Edit:

PS-> The air thank is quite impressive, i am already copying it. Sure i´ll try to do one of this to me...

See you,

Pedro Torres

i would just keep getting new cans of aerosol but its like $18 a can. and that price was from 3 or 4 years ago. i guess this is one of the benefits of being cheap/smart.

I&#180;ll make another air reservoir, that i did works, but, don&#180;t hold the air for much time.

I am to try a GLP gas bottle.

Fixed the front panel plexi:

Best regards,

Pedro Torres.

Since yesterday i was working on project. Removed an old DVD-RW and changed the motherboard, now, the ASUS A8N32-SLI commanding...

On 5 1/4 space that old DVD-RW lets behing i am thinking to put an LCD, but, it´s not definitive.

Some sweet pics:

Sponsored by www.selltec.com.br:

Yours,

Pedro Torres.

I decided to push the system to watch better the font reaction since i believe it is almost breaking his capacity limit barrier. So, i install aquamark3 and get this results:

The system remains stable but the font really warm a litlle bit.

Anyway, i thing the results was fine for my system, and, i want compare to others who have the same equipamet i have, to see the diference cooling down the system makes.

Really appreciate any help.

Pedro Torres.

Yeah, they really seems better defined. With this new mobo will easy to organize all those wires.

Also, i´ll fabricate an 12V single wire to conect major pieces together. I´ve already bought two TECH FLEX cable sleeving kits (already with me) and a new font that maybe arrive here in two weeks, when i´ll start a real cable management.

Glad to have you around and hear from you.

Thank You !

Pedro Torres.

Remake of front panel plexi hinges:

Best regards,

Pedro Torres.

BTW-> I ordered the coolermaster musketeer 3 to fill the 5 1/4 'blackhole' left behind by the removed DVD-RW.

Quite nice ! :P

Front panel hinges removing:

yours,

Pedro Torres.

I´ve ordered the coolermaster musketeer 3 black, it´s pretty beautifull, take a look:

Olha ela aí...

See you soon,

Pedro Torres.

looks nice. is that a vacuum tube?! how much does one of those go for?

It&#180;s about 40.00 usd. The vacuum tube is vintage kind and will compose the front panel acessories, adding sound fuctionality to it.

This valve works as an attenuator and have lower power cosumition.

It will close the black-hole left behind by the old DVD-RW which is broked.

See you soon,

Pedro Torres.

As the alien movemet appears around 20´s with relativity theory from Einstein, i decided to put some vintage stuff on this case and do a sephia, black and white, paint job.

Tomorrow i´ll place two more leds do iluminate de top alien, as it is today:

Yours,

Pedro Torres.

Started the air reservoir to the airbrush:

Tomorrow i´ll put the air valve on the botton and if everything works i´ll do the texture of the oposite side and start to paint the case

See you soon,

Pedro Torres.

wow... nicely done. +rep i was going to say i hope it can hold the pressure but your using a tire pump. i use an air compresser at 110+psi

Yes, i am using a tyre pump today i removed the old hose witch was broked in last attempt to use it for painting purposes.

Also, i did the hole on the bottlom of the bottle and tomorrow i&#180;ll put the car kind valve.

Thank you for your nicely coment !

Watch this:

You use 110 psi? My air brush is only rated at 50?!?! (never used this airbrush yet, it was a gift...)


BTW, Intrigued by this so +rep!

Mine works up 55psi. This reservoir i´ll give a continuous flux of air without the oscilations from pump.

Last time i used it the hose of pump do not supported the pression and blows, for this reason, tomorrow i´ll change the hose for another more resistent.

Thanks for your visit and nice coments.

Best regards,

Pedro Torres.
