Funding problems are contagious...
My house recently went from two incomes to one, though her loss of a job is currently pending investigation by the EEO (basically, they fired her for getting pregnant)
Things come and go, man. Your work here has greatly inspired some ideas of my own.
well congrats on the kid, and good luck with all that
don't worry, i don't think anyone here has done a mod without somthing going wrong, even crimson has had things go wrong (PLEASE DON'T KILL ME SIR)
my idea for an external drive is on hold atm, but with my new job, within a month or two, i should beable to start the build, or atleast get the parts.
Well I am pleased to say things are back on track now, but most importantly I have been able to make some progress on the mod.
Some of my more expensive plans have been put on hold for a short while, so the following update isn't going to be huge. First off on the mod list was the rear 120mm exhaust fan.
The problem with it was that 3 of the 4 UV LED's had burnt out leaving it looking rather dull and boring. So I ordered a new one with the intention of doing a straight swap, but the more I looked at the fan the more I felt there was something missing. It just didn't stand out enough or make a great impact on the eye.
So I decided to use radiator grills instead of normal sized fan grills to make it more bold and also decided to use the burned out fan casing as a kind of spacer to bring it away from the rear of the case into a more eye catching position.
I am very happy with the results, a few pictures below.
On the next update:
- Mirror Acrylic
- A modded PS1 LCD screen
- Also some work on the side panel
Assuming I don't get made redundant again of course :)
I like this one a lot! Clean and it all fits together nicely. Also a good job with the watercooling. Only it looks like there is a lot of air in your setup? But I'll properly be wrong ;)
@ Teamikke - Thank you, in some of the pictures it does give the illusion of air in the water. I assume its something to do with the the light from the UV dye. I spent many hours removing the air from the loop and thankfully I haven't seen a bubble for a while now. But yeah it does look 'airy' in the pictures.
The res. on your pump is a pain to get rid of air. It will be a lot smoother if you just use the pomp without the res. You do have those other reservoirs so that should be all right I quess.
I have the DDC-1T with the plexie top but without the top-reservoir and the same sort of reservoirs you use. Almost all the air is gone after I put the pump on and off a couple of times. Just a tip ;)
But it's looking great when all the air is out! Very curious what's next ;)
That was the main problem area when removing air, the res on the pump. Got there in the end though.
Great colors, or should I say color :) Normally I don't like those thick tubes, but this loop looks really good :up:
