Project: Citrus G5

[J-Roc]

I cut a piece of the orange plexi for the window and all i can say is that its the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. Its like gummy bears wraped in rainbows toped with caramel fudge. I think it would look best if i glued it in place but i cant do that untill the case is painted. I'm still going to get some nice screws to bolt it in. the front / back corners are coming loose so i have to bolt thoes down and it'll flow better that way.

I'm still looking for nice power reset switches. I like the look of the vandal switches. Does anyone know of where to get some other sleek and stylish switches?

As allways, more updates as they occur.

This has come a long way since I had a look at your first posts. It is looking great, keep up the good work.

Whars our update.

[J-Roc]

im trying to decide my next move.

I need switches for power, reset, and prosibly an eject button.
I need to get/make some sound proffing sheets so i can cover the imperfections on the inside of the case.
I need to find some decent screws/bolts/somthing to hold the window in and hold the top flange in place (it must have been droped at some time)
I need to decide which fans im going to get and depending on that, i need to figure out the lighting
I dont know if i'll need to make an i/o shield, i cleaned it up pretty nice with the file.
With all that i'll be able to route the wires nicely. I might need to make a shield to cover the long 24pin cable plus the iMon extension.

Then its just body work and paint

One +rep for you...

Here's another small update so my worklog doesnt slip into oblivion. I just purchased some more gear to help finish the case.

2 x Blackfire4 UV LED 92mm Fan
1 x AeroCool SilverBlade I 80mm Fan
1 x Vandal Resistant Switch 16mm - Orange Dot
1 x Vandal Resistant Switch 16mm - Orange Ring
1 x Noise Pax Sound Dampening Material

I decided to go with the AcRyan fan's (Thanks WAG) which should really set off the interior. I was going to use blue fans but when i put the orange plexi over a blue led, it dimmed it to neer nill and turned it green. I'm putting off buying a new hard drive and the sat card untill the case is complete.

I'll have more pics when the shipment arrives!

Well my box-o-goodies arived today! Unfortunatly my batteries died in my cammera and im so broke right now i cant even buy more.

Everything looks awsome! Does anyone have experience with bulgin switches and know the layout of the pins?

I'll update again when i have some pics, items will probly be installed so no package shots

Not sure where you bought your vandal switch from, but frozen cpu has a spec sheet in PDF form that you can download.

Well, here's another small update for critical components. My mother is going to hate me for sure. Her poor credit card is getting its arse whooped.

I just ordered the much needed hard drive and the satellite card for a total of $187.09.

Specificaly;
Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 8.9MS Hard Drive $63.35
Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-S-PLUS Satellite TV Tuner PCI Card W/ MPEG2 Recording Software & Remote $86.87

I really needed a sata drive because the single ribbon cable wont reach both the dvd rom and the HDD in the configuration im going for.

Jeesh, what started out as a project with a $300 budget quickly spiraled out to over $600 and counting.

Not sure how long you need the ribbon cable to be, but frozencpu.com has some rounded dual-device cables that are three feet long. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/33...ml?tl=g2c36s97
