the case

Dude! that ammo case is bitchin i have never seen such a great ammocase mod.

Just wondering how did u come across a case like that?

Good Work!

 

Found a photo while searching google for "military equipment"
The photo linked to www.colemans.com

 

Hey, I just want to compliment you on your ammocase mod. It's just amazing.

 

Holy Thread Revival Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

COngratz on bringing up a month old thread
Edit: Date i hate uk dates

 

its more than a month old, it was completed in jan, 04

i think this thread needs to be trimmed its just 55 pages of stupid questions

 

But last comment was 08-12-2004
december 8 04, around a month and a half back...

 

Think again.

Am I the only one that thinks project logs should be locked after 2 months or so of inactivity?

 

I agree they should be locked after 2 months of inactivit or they should be locked 1 month after the project is finished for questions(which are normally already answered earlier in the thread nobody reads it though before they ask questions. I don't know how many times on this thread somebody asked where he got the ammocan for this)

 

What about the people who just joint this forem, they will never see how good some projects are. Oke I agree, read the thread before asking guestions that have already been asked before. But they don't have to close the thread just for that.

 

locking the thread just means you can view but cant post on it

 

Thanks for the extra interest guys, but I also agree the thread can be locked, the PC has been done for over a year.

 

You can't lock it until you tell us where you got the covered keyswitch, I sat here for 20 minutes googling since I can't find the ones I used on an old mod!

but as zap has said a million times it was from radio shack and they seem to have stopped carrying it, he said he got the last one in his local radioshack.

why not try the search bar uptop

 

[doh! I tried but everything that popped up was covers for those military switches. Figures maplin would have it, I dont wanan know what shipping such a little thing would cost.

 

Hi Zap

I knoiw i may sound a bit stupid when i say this but i am an apprentice it technition based in the uk and find your front port mods exelent. i have been building computers in standard cases since i could first spell computer but am bored of the "normal system" look is there any chance of some schematics or some form of instructions of how you wired the front buttons, knobs and displays and what they do.
any help would be greatly appreciated

regards
zak

 

By the way any one wanting stuff shipped from the uk i can help you as i live here and i will not charge extortionate rates that normal shops will
just an idea to help you save money.

if you want secuirity i can accept paypal or nochex if that makes you feel better

Not that it wasn't a great mod, but for God's sake, send him a PM next time. The last post was over six months ago and the mod was completed in Januray '04!

 

My only schematics were hand written and long gone.
As you can see I kind of just wired it as I went along, very ghetto.

In reality it's nothing more then re-wiring the connections on both sides, ensuring the same wire passes through the connector to the right wire on the other side.

I did wire in some special, but simple circuits such as the fan controller, and the keylock switch.
