    Default Project: deadmau5 PC

    Ok everyone im new to the community and would just like to take the time to introduce myself.

    I am 18 years old and have been working with computer hardware, software, and most other gadgets and consoles. Electronics have always been my life but specifically computers. So anyhoo, the time has come in school for me to do my senior project, and since my english grade is a bit low I decided to go all out on this one. I may ask for some feedback, comments, and any advice would be great as this is my first mod, but I have a strong head for this and my ideas are possible.

    I am going to be using a Silverstone PS02B case

    painting the main parts of the case white, with a stripe on the side that angles down in the front and then a straight stripe that will be blue with deadmau5 in white (or plexi)

    a blue deadmau5 head above with a plexi window mouth possibly a UV reactive window to make it glow
    eyes aswell

    large fans for ears


    On the front:
    a 6" LCD

    stealthed DVD drive

    4 switch cathode and LED switch


    On the right side:

    2 90 degree pvc bends in the same white as the case

    a clear section of tube inbetween through which the PSU cables will run through and mobo cables for the fans and cd drives, etc.

    Also putting LEDs or cathodes in the clear part.


    Drawings coming soon!
    Hoping for a good turn out as im putting the components from the PC ive been working on since I was 10 so im making this my final hurrah for that PC and using my old case for all new components when I graduate.

    This will be a quick build, as I only have 4 weeks or so to complete this or get close enough to turn it in for my project.

    The Case!
    Silverstone PS02B, picked the one without the window obviously as I am making a custom mouth window:

    Buying the case soon, have to order it off newegg, but as most know newegg shipping is quick.
    Going to the hardware store this week for parts, first steps are to cut the fan holes for the ears and paint the grills blue.

    Photoshopping my project overview.


    Here are some very rough sketches of my idea

    Sounds interesting. What's the story behind the 6" lcd (source, purpose, etc)?

    I gotta agree with bg on the pics though. [EDIT] Whoops, you beat me to it [/EDIT]

    The idea behind the 6" LCD was taken from the CaseModGod's mod guide

    here's the link: http://www.casemodgod.com/ModGuides/...le_bay_lcd.htm

    I wanted to have it in for a TV tuner card in the case to run WMC dedicated to that display

    I was thinking maybe implimenting the ghost (to represent deadmau5's song Ghosts n' Stuff) as a power and reset but I also like the idea of a key start. I am debating that one.

    Also
    This is the layout for the mau5 head that will be on the side of the case (but in blue)

    you could do a key start with the ghost as a plastic backing plate for the switch or something.

    Like the idea mate!

    I'll see about that one.

    Edit: Love the idea, infact, I will find a clear plastic one and have it light up when the computer is powered on, or perhaps a HDD status light?
