    Default Interocitor Mk15

    Well, the time has come to start my second proper mod. I was torn between improving my current LAN machine (The Interocitor Mk.14) and doing something completely new and different. However, I saw another one of those fantastic oscilloscopes on ebay and my mind was made up. I am building a new and improved Interocitor, with all the ideas I had for the old one that didn't quite come off! It will have an improved layout, more cooling, lighting system and a larger case window.

    The hardware list will be:
    Abit LG-95 Micro Atx Motherboard (I won this in Custom PC Magazine!)
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (Not sure which one yet)
    Nvidia 8800GTS 320Mb (When finances permit)
    2Gb of Geil DDR2 Memory (Already purchased)
    500Gb Samsung SATA2 HDD (Already purchased)
    Laptop Style DVD-RW (Nice Slot Loader)

    I want to really make a feature of the old valves contained in the case so they will be moved to a much more prominent position and lit with superbright LED's. The knobs dials & buttons on the front of the case, will again, be made as functional as possible. So Lets get started....

    Here's my new case....I'm starting the stripdown.

    Cool! I'll be looking forward to this mod. I really like the last one and if this one is going to be even better, then I know it will be a great mod.

    The pic with the valves looks sick.. I had to learn how an oscilloscope works and I only studied the transistor schematics.. My loss, cause if I've ever seen something so nice as the cathode tube sitting between two rows of valves.. ouch This brings lots of ideas! Picture a wind tunnel surrounded by the valves, all lit a soft orange.. 'warm' and cool!

    i think for the valves you should have watercooling tubes going back and forth across from each other. and when you need to take apart the wc system of something like that you can just turn it off. that would be amazing.

    This one is going to be super cool!
    I'm amazed looking at the pics... they don't build stuff like they used to.

    Quick question: Are the black metal sleeves over the tubes... are those like, 'air shrouds' for forced-air cooling?
    Or are they there just to hold the tubes down?

    Hey guys, am I calling the valves "tubes"?
