    Light Update!!!

    Good Evening friends,

    Today an enlightened update. Did some nice things with LEDs for McMod exhaust pipes,
    I could not leave it standard, so I made two sets of red LEDs

    [​IMG]

    5 mm drilled in it

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And power connected. Effect is better than I expected

    [​IMG]

    Placed it back in McMod

    [​IMG]

    Picture by night

    [​IMG]

    The next job.....The wheels.Made the slots for the airflow.

    [​IMG]

    And the wheel positioned. Open enough for the inlet

    [​IMG]

    Prepared The other wheel, and around some insulation tape.
    This is because the sound reduction.
    On the edge is becoming a acryl black border. maybe with mesh panel, but am not so sure,
    because I think it's really looks better without the mesh.
    So it is debating whether fingers or ........... looks ;)

    [​IMG]

    I am also busy with the rear spoiler. For this I had to make some adjustments
    so that the screws for the gpu ain't vissible

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Fits nicely

    [​IMG]

    The piece above the I / O is coming mesh panel

    [​IMG]

    Continue with the lighting plan ........ The power LED and HDD LED
    For this I modified the existing acryl buttons.
    3mm hole/LED for the HDD LED. And for the power LED a 5mm hole

    [​IMG]

    The Power led

    [​IMG]

    And the hdd led

    [​IMG]

    And quite nice detail is that when the lid is closed the LEDs are visible

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Now we're at it, soldering,
    Changed the print and soldered some strings to the power button and the eject button

    [​IMG]

    almost done

    [​IMG]

    Have some nice ideas for the gpu. Dismantling it
    choice was not so difficult, removed the plastic and the fans.
    Installed the screws down between the fins.

    [​IMG]

    Fins came out nicely with the V8

    [​IMG]

    Like this

    [​IMG]

    Placed everything to see the total

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Finally I intend to use same rgb strips.
    Actually I prefer them not in a build because of the disco effect,
    but for my kid I make an exception. He just loves the rgb's always playing with the remote.
    He Loves the fade, switch and dim feature, so he can have this in his build.

    [​IMG]

    Cut a piece and made a plug on it

    [​IMG]

    An additional advantage is also that I can see his mood

    harmony and trust

    [​IMG]

    purity

    [​IMG]

    peace, calm and cool

    [​IMG]

    passion

    [​IMG]

    that was the wise psychological color class, and the update for this evening

    See you soon and have a good night.

    Update!!!

    Just do not feel like modding this evening (yes really)
    So, a small update.

    I started with the acryl that is covering the LCD screen
    Especially for little dirty fingers

    The mold, still have it ........... so gonna use it


    [​IMG]

    Covering it, just in case

    [​IMG]

    The victim

    [​IMG]

    And after heating bent it in shape. But it is still flexibel
    Therefore I have 2 x pieces of red acryl designed for top and bottom

    [​IMG]

    Left and right I have to make, but it does fits allready good

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Some more little things had be done, The airflow in the case.
    'm Afraid it is going to be too hot.
    That's why I have two gpu slotcoolers located where the internal speakers were
    Gonna make external cars speakers, so that'll be fine

    [​IMG]

    And i wanna thank Nixjuh for his photoshop skills

    He sent me some perfect samples
    Ram stickers

    [​IMG]

    True Corsair Cars rams

    [​IMG]

    Nixjuh also has made some custom logos of major sponsors in my mod adventure

    Coolermaster your the best

    [​IMG]

    and where it all began, Mr. Freddy's Highflow shop

    [​IMG]

    Maybe a little better if I print out the stickers on clear sticker sheet, hmm tomorrow to the store.

    That's it.............bye bye

    Looking good and that acrylic screen cover is very neat and tidy. Can't wait to see this finished. :thumb:
