The Theory of Everything. Dec. 21st. End of the world? Have some final pics. :-)
You thought you got rid of me when I didn't win MOTM for my CarPC, didn't you?
![]() I'm back! ![]() Since all the plans for this mod has changed, I decided to put in the specs of the hardware that is going into it. P67 Sabertooth I5-2500K 8GB Corsair memory 580 GTX Gainward 1.5GB GFX I havn't gotten the case yet, but waiting for it. I'm getting a couple of little things for the article I wrote for Custom PC Magazine, and amongst those I'm getting a Fractal Design Refine R3. This will be used for this mod. I have no idea of the color of it, but I know what I'm hoping for! *cough* white *cough* It's not going to be an insane mod, just a couple of little things here and there. I havn't worked out all the small querks out yet, but the idea is as follows: Custom watercooling. (I'm guessing that's kind of required on my part by now) ![]() Custom CPU block. (started that) ![]() Custom Reservoir. (This is going to require some heatbending in the oven again) Custom pump housing. 1 x 120mm radidator for the CPU. I don't know what to do about the NB and SB for now. She's using the pc, and she knows I'm going to do something to it, but has no idea what! Since she's in school and crazy about math and physics, I'm going with the theme of "The Theory of Everything". I'm going to paint decals of equations from Quantum Physics, String Theory etc. on it. ( Afaik String Theory is not combineable with The Theory of Everything as such, but they have some cool equations so leave me alone! )Since my own pc needs a graphic upgrade soon, I'm going to put 1 or 2 9800gtx+ gfx cards in there. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I'm going to keep the waterblocks on the gfx(s). Now, the cool part about this mod is going to be the DVD drive. I'm going to keep it a secret untill I get the whole thing worked out, but I'm going to drop a lot of hints for it! ![]() First I needed an old dvd drive. Cut out the pieces I need: ![]() Sprocket didn't fit with my plans: ![]() I need this to be lined up as well as possible, so thin plastic is not going to cut it. Measured up the housing and made it in aluminum: ![]() ![]() ![]() Mounted the sprockets. Seems I still know how a caliper works, all the measurements fits perfectly! :![]() Pushed the end piece onto it, just for a look: ![]() This is where I am now. I would love to get this done by X-mas, so let's see how things work out. I need some help from guys at work with the electronic side of this, as I have no idea of what I'm doing. I know how to blow a fuse in my appartment by putting my hands in the PSU, and that's about it! ![]() I also ordered a Passive InfraRed sensor, that should arrive in a couple of weeks. Hope it will work with my plan. I hope you will be patient as this is going to take some time!

I have LOTS of patience. Accumulated over several decades of software testing.
Now I have something to watch AGAIN! Good to see you are not idle. john

Ok, I've pulled up a chair, got my coffee and I'm watching. Another Angel OD mod, much better viewing than the TV.

So, on with the show!
![]() We've been pinned down with work the last couple of weeks. Between working 12-13 hour days a couple of times, and getting my mods ready for the BEEP 2011 show, I havn't had time to work on this little baby. But that's all done, and I'm ready! So I stayed a bit after work yesterday, and got there early this morning as well! ![]() This: ![]() ...was put in the mill: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The channel is then done, and the groove for the O-ring is milled. Check. ![]() While the mill was taking care of itself, I made a small aluminum part that goes in the CPU block: ![]() Cut and turned: ![]() And what I see as the most important part was the next thing! When milling was done I got a fast look at the pattern through the coolant, and I actually froze for a second as I thought It had milled the parts that was supposed to stay in there! ![]() No worries, It came out as I had hoped for! ![]() ![]() ![]() That's it for now! I hope I have made you wonder even more about the finishing result of this! ![]() Oh... I almost forgot! I also received a small package containing a PIR sensor... Time will show what that is for! ![]() Right now I'm just waiting for the parts from Custom PC Magazine, but I'm not worried that I have nothing to do atm!

Dude! You started a new log and no one called me!
-Looking massively awesome so far. I can only guess that you are weaponizing the DVD eject system at this point. Maybe a clay pigeon fling arm for movies you didn't like?

![]() Thanks a lot! Still struggeling with the rest of the design. I'm not used to keeping to one theme, so this is a bit more difficult than normal!

I've pretty much never followed any sort of plan when I'm modding. I have a god idea of what i want to do and then just go with the flow. I get a picture in my head and then I bring it to life. it's the same with the paint, I look at what I have in front of me and the the colour scheme just happens.
