FuG-01/ET - mod finnished, some new pictures

Today I made final job to the front pannel - I painted symbols for description of switches. It wasn't easy...




I made them using templates like this

 

Nice theme!

This compaq case is great to mod

 

still looking good.

I always like the updates on this one, keep going!

 

yes, I wish I used plexi but unfortunately its too late now

 

Thank you, I'm working hard now and I plan to finish this week with the case. Then I'll start with the keyboard and mouse.

 

Thanks guys. I do my best!

 

is that a WAN antenna?

 

No, its not. Its dummy - no real function.

 

How did you made this? The current measuring cirquit?
Can you show a schematics or something?

Silly me, you are measuring directly 220V currrent, aren't you?

 

Wow, this mod is awesome, great attention to detail with the ageing.. Everything was well-executed, especially for a first time mod. Kudos to you!

 

Yeah, first mod... looks great.. way better then mine.. haha

 

Yes, I'm measuring AC 230V current. First I was going to measure DC currents for all lines but it was too complicated and a dangerous for the PSU - I could have spoiled it.

The apmermeter is connected directly between mains and transformator. Its a serial connection of course. I think I have done a photo of the connection.... I'll look for it.

 

Thanks.
That's the easiest way, of course. And reliable. Only safety... I hope the ampermeter connections are correctly isolated

About the whole case: looks great! (Btw, RTCW is one of my favours.)
Thanks for explaining, how you made the rust effect.
Looks really real!
(Right now I'm trying to made rust effect on my case. Only problem is, that I don't have those sprays and I've got to work with waterbased acrylcolors. Result looks a little different.)

 

Hi, here is my update from last week. Comments are not necessary, I think

 

Hi, I didn't like the cabling so I made new

3,3V monitoring









And I rearanged the front pannel - I didn't like the former colours

 

OK I'm speechless... If this is your first mod than BRAVO!!
Hope to see it's completion....BTW ET is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE GAME!!!
Hope to play with you sometime...BTW make sure to let the guys at Splash Damage know about your case...you might get an advanced copy of the new ET.

 

Thank u theurgy! Actually I made several mistakes and attempts to get what I want. I colud post in "disaster mods log" as well
As always, the effect is not like I wanted to achieve But I think I'm very close to my first idea and the mod fits the Wolfenstein theme.

 

I found the picture - you can see the blue and the black wires that go to the ampermeter

 

I made changes to the fans couse the china "superred" logos didn't fit the wolfenstein theme



and golden grills



I painted them black


I printed RTCW logos on the regular laser printer and painted 4 times with the varnish


cut out 2 circles


and fixed with glue on the fans

 

well, its time to test if the electronics works

first the voltages
3,3V




5V




12V




now, I test fan voltages
the case fan

voltage zero couse the fan is off


if the fan in on


look at the left potentiometer
it's high




and now it goes low




the PSU fan - it's controlled automatically by the PSU




and the processor fan


the right potentiometer
low voltage



and higher voltage



and the current


The total current is unfortunatelly zero because the test system is very old - it's a penthium III 600 MHz and the total power consumption is below 100W. To make the amperometer's indicator go it requires minimum about 250W - then the current is about 1A
