Case Mod - In Progress UNIT: 4 - DONE! on 22.04.08

some more work on the PSU tower :dead:

"some" bondo

while the bondo was drying i drawed an PSU backplate

puzzle in a different way


makro

...bondo & sanding...

some of those parts you dont wanna show.. but i needed to because it is just worse.. some fixing is needed here



as you can see, stil far from being done :/

 

That's the problem with filler building. -It takes forever to dry.
I can't wait to see how this comes out...but I kinda' have to.

 

using bondo, or what us brits call P40 you have to apply in thin sections, as a big lump takes ages to dry and can warp then crack. if you are using it right it should be dry within 10 minutes and ready to sand or for the next layer if your building up.

i tend to perfer to apply a layer of bondo then sand with 80 grit, to find any little air bubbles, brush it off with compressed air then apply the next layer of bondo, saves so much time finding the air bubbles as you go, rather than finding them in the end!

 

sunday :dead:



this
a) sucks b) need some time to look like i want :dead:
yesterday.elektronics arrived, im to sick to solder so i cleaned up the soldertable :dead:
before

and after

toolZ

wires

stuff

this is the electronic madness which will be inside unit 4

a video

 

Omg. What dedication... how many hours u used til now?

 

I used to be able to do a pretty good 'Cousin It' impersonation too!
That's a lot of new molex plugs. I'm used to just ripping them off from older systems.

 

did you make that video your self?

 

yeah i did it all by myself, i used adobe after effects and sony vegas

PCB WORK

yeah i make my on circuits and etch em. with a laser printer and a iron

after ironing the printed circuit on the pcb i need to remove the paper

this is what it looks like then


the mega led fader (100+)

actually its tribaloverkills fault that i made this

cutted

goddam small $#!t

after ironing and removing.. SICK!!!!

etching fluid

while etching

afet 15 minutes i recognized that the pcbs where still the same, so i took my um.. dryer which makes air pretty D*#n hot :O s the fluid has a higher temp and its moved so it etches WAY faster

i must say.. this method PWNS!!!!!1111oneoneone the pcb was done after 7 minutes


and always think of THIS COULD BE YOUR SKIN! so wear ALWAYS GLOVES! its.. acidly

and bÄm

then i need some holes




yeah.. here you can see how big this thing is :O

 

so the pump control is done


it does work.. at least i _think_ it does.. the relai works and thats all what it has to do

 

is the led fader your using like the one designed for the xbox 360?

where the leds fade on then fade off and carry n like that in a continues cycle

 

When you look closely on the circuit you can see that he got the layout from http://www.meisterkuehler.de/
which means master cooler in english but the whole site is in german....

 

@ dan
no its a custom designed by another forum member.. its able to fader about 100 LEDS well..should be.. it doesnt work..


update time!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven
another hole

which is wayyy better than the old one

now i need to close that opening

taped
and again, fibreglass

miled the led holes

epic makro failure

cablechannel
aim

and bOOm pushbuttons insertet

dis is how it looks like from teh inside

the fibreglass is also dry

and smoooooooooth


got wires?

 

oh dear thats not good


do you think this would work?
and put all the led's in parerlell with the single led

 

ugh.. sorry but i think this wont work.. the leds need to much ampere for this small transistor.. this is the circuit i used

 

GIMME A HELL YEAH!!!!











my christmas gift

 

another update

this groove is for a wire, so i can hock those steel support wires in, just like in the real build


mounted the cd cover(which needs some new tiles

and the old hdd cage is mounted (need some kitbash)

quick inside overview


and the pushbutton terminal is mounted also



time to mill

action shot :O

and the finished part

this should be some kind of mega fuse construction, one of em is broken

led wire channel was milled

this is how it should look like, except the cap of the real fuse wont be visible in the finished part


_some_ wires

..and a happy new year

 

EEEEK!
Hand feeding stuff into a routher bit!?!?
Please use a back stop guide and a push stick!!! I've seen what happens to WOOD when you slip. I pray you keep your hands clear from the bits.

I like what you've done. are you putting a molten red core under the reactor?

 

Might be wise to keep hands away from the bit, but the foam is so soft I just can't see it backfiring too badly.

 

whoa update time Oo this is the awfull picture of my workshop

expand the pc

this is a quick dual external harddrive "mod"

sanded

polish stuff

and polished(beta )


this is what it roughly looks like, the old cd drive will house the circuit stuff and maybe something more^^


some kitbashing is needed and some (or alot) paint (will be flat black)


anyways real update, 2 cutting disks

cutted a channel

in there will run the wires for the led, and some space for the resistors oO

 

neat use of cutting disks.
