^^ after first bondo-ing and sanding ^^
more to come! enjoy!
P.S my modding kitty! (ayasha) the fiances christmas present
^^ in the box for a old cooler i just got offa my buddy ^^
Nice start! Although not quite as nice as Zalman's Z Machine. :p
Keep up the good work! Get rid of all those lines and make it nice and flush looking! :up:
The cat however... needs some more work. Maybe some LED's and watercooling? :D
UV LEDs in the eyes! :DQuote:

^^ back panel modified for 2 80mms fans instead of 1 ^^
(this is just temporary until i get some plexi)
^^ front intake hole with LED fan ^^
Someone needs a hole saw!
yes yes i do...
^^ not lookin to shabby now.. one more batch of bondo im hopin after this ^^
^^ front panel will also be home to a 7 inch LCD i have used in a few mods B4 ^^
it will be brought forward a bit so it is close to flush with the front panel
(no fancy switch and inputs this time)
also the 2 front panel covers will be smoothed and filled to be flush
no dvd drive heh
Wow, you're really cranking out the updates.
I thought that case was familiar.
I have the same case, as well
this is how large i would like my window to be... maybe cut out the rounded corners.. but roughly those dimensions... i want the case to be flat black.. and the window to be tinted plexi... once i can afford it all heh..
Looks like he just needs more bondo, not a hole saw. :P
^^ the fan grill i plan to use ^^
^^ the outer metal shell of a cd rom will be used to hold the main board and such for the LCD ^^
( if i get a new roll of sodler soon i plan to use the original ports from the cd drive )
ROFL saw that pic of the window and said shooped .... lol ... pays to read..
looks good man nice start
Off to a very nice start. :up:
ye man... many ppl have this case.. its just a generic POC that needed some love
^^ i decided the power button looked too generic ^^
so im stealthing it to the under side of the front panel aswell as with the PWR and HD leds..
^^ new power button placement ^^
done more work smoothing the front panel
i figure once the sanding is done this thing is gunna look amazing...
^^ doing a lil more work on the shaping... its looking great :) ^^
^^ just finished the basic laydown and sanding of the bondo ^^
hopefully this will show everyone where i am goin with this
Looks great
Damn, that looks pretty good!
Thats awsome
Looking GOOD!
Looking damned good!
looks good..
i must of missed it... whats going in the floppy hole?
vantec card reader
i must say... thank you all for your comments.. its really appreciated
tryin to find work today so i wont be workin on it till a bit later heh
ahhh ok cool :P
** preparing the TBCS rig for gaming **
the motherboard TGS sent me is great and has alota features... but i was worried about heat issues... especialy seeing as i like to overclock
so nevermind1534 sent me a northbridge heatsink from a different motherboard (bigger than the original on mine)
so i swapped them today
and put the original northbridge heatsink on the south bridge (it didnt have anything to rly cool it)
^^ the new heatsink installed and the old one swapped ^^
( i used AS5 )
^^ added 2 60 mm fans from a OCZ mem cooler to cool both of them ^^
(im still tryin to figure out a way to properly secure them)
altho the install is a lil loose... they r performing greatly :)
side note... this rig runs crysis warhead with specs all at gamer with no lag (1024x768 because my monitor doesnt support a higher res) and GoW and CoD4 cant even make it lag... ive tried :P
That heatsink is huge; nice. And the XMS2 is beast. How much have the northbridge and southbridge sinks brought your temps down?
not sure... but with the fans included... went from being too hot to touch... to nice and cool.... cold rly
and the latest addition to our family
we now have 2 kittens.. and they dont seem to be impressed by it
(sitting on the new case i got from my buddy (he got an antec 1200 so he gave me his old one))
look at all that static next to ur hdd :)
ive got a job now... so some money is coming in :) and any of you who whine about workin at startbucks or mcdonalds... i top you.. i work for 8 bucks an hour... in a chip truck... from 10 am till 9...no A/C... hot day.. with a hot grill infront of me... and a hot deepfryer behind me....(rant lol) man you would never wanna eat street meat again if you saw how its prepared.... :)
