Case Mod - In Progress "Simpsons" inspired Ultra Microfly Case Mod: YouTube Video

Newegg has a nice rebate on the 800w version of that PSU. It brings it down to like 10$ more than the 700w version.

Just a heads up

.:.Nate.:.

 

Omg I so love that power supply. Verry nice.

Why zalman? Its expensive and its not especially better....

 

Sweet, Bill! Nice choice on hardware too. I'm itching to get my hands on one of those new 8200 boards myself. Any plans on modding the PSU, or leaving the warranty intact?

 

Thanks for the tip, I'll pass it onto Brad, but he may have ordered it already.

The zalman, because of the low ceiling in the Microfly.

Brad is soooo itching to use this, I don't think I'll be able to grab that PSU from him

 

What is he going to be using this computer for? because i noticed u hadnt put down a graphics card! Looks great by the way

 

Just excellent!!! Keep up the good work.

 

His main intent was to study for his Vista cert, but he mentioned playing Media for parties...heh

@ poseydon, thank you!

Heres the Mnpctech CNC Mill in action cutting the first grill and the new dragon design

 

Nice designs and cool CNC machine work. I like the dragon but I don't have anything with fans anymore.

Thanks John! fan grills continue to be the main bread n butter for this market, but Yes...Silence is gold

 

Amazing! love seeing milling in action.

 

Even if I were running silent, I'd still use one of these grills simply for the 'bad-ass factor'. It's so cool seeing the machining at work. The exclamation and the covering of the lens still makes me laugh!

 

That's one hell of a machine. I'm learing to use a cnc machine myself in my school but that's just amazing.

I would not film inside while the machine is working, Its dangerous

 

It is fun isn't it?!

Agree, fan grills definately play a role in creating a cool theme.

I must always risk my limbs for "that certain shot" tho

 

Must always risk beeing splattered with coolant also

Ont: I want your mill soo badly! And, how thick are those aluminium plates?

 

A tri-pod and zoom will solve that problem =p

Anyhow I like the sketch designs but to be honest most of those have already been done to death but I guess it would be kinda a hard to make something now and days that hasnt already been done... as always I do enjoy your vids. ^_^

 

brilliant looking mod. can't wait to see it finished!

can't get over how awesome it looks so far.

 

Paint and anodizing is finished. Heres shots as I did a pre-assemble before system install. I'm still debating about idea for the front bezel. I want to offset the Blue. I'm looking @ making Krusty heads to mount over the front grills on rotating pivets. Brad is coming in this afternoon with some of the hardware thats arrived.



Some people have emailed me and asked, "How did you mount the 120mm fan inside the case?" I cut a notch in the chassis, shown here






Vandal power switch (blue led) and Vandal blue led for HD activity.

 

Gorgeous! Looks awesome, Bill! Krusty heads that rotate? HAHAHAH!! Awesome idea, and it'd fit the theme nicely.

 

Sweet but I miss something on the front bezel, it's to blue If you know what I mean.

 

It looks great! Crusty spinners would rule, but it will be tough to get them balanced so they spin. You might need to do 2 crustys(crusties?) in the 69 position.
