    Looks good mate!

    A little trick when taking photos, disable the flash, and set the camera on a book, or something, or buy a tripod:) Then set the self timer to 2 sec, and you will see a HUGE increase in pic quality:)

    Yes, in fact I'm French and Djungelapa is not known in France,
    therefore I wanted to introduce this brand in my country because they have very nice products! :) :)
    As my case is very big, I wanted to do great homogenous curves consistent with the sleeve, so that's why I have chosen regular sleeve. ;)

    Thanks! :thumb:

    Ok, Thank you for your advice, because it's true that my photos are not very pretty, in fact I never thought to remove the flash ...
    So I will try next time! :D
    By cons as I have no tripod so I will use books and the timer as you told me.
    ;)

    Thanks! :)


    Since the beginning of the mod, I wanted write the name of my sponsors on the case,
    At first I thought painting the names of companies on the lateral door
    but my painting skills made me very quickly abandon the idea! :D

    And the other day, I came across someone who engraved the plexiglass and I liked the result.
    I then thought about doing a little plate of plexiglass which is engraved with the logo of companies and I screw the plate inside the box ... :)

    So this is what I did:
    First I printed the brochure that I wanted to create after having performed on Photoshop.
    [​IMG]

    Then I cut my piece of plexiglass 12cm*10cm:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    To engrave the plexiglass, I used an (very) old dremel with a little tool: :hehe:
    [​IMG]

    Despite the number of tools I had on hand, there was not much adapted ...
    But in the end I found one for which the result was nice: :)
    [​IMG]

    Debut of the engraving:
    [​IMG]

    First brand to sponsor me, Seasonic:
    [​IMG]

    Then the second company, Arctic:
    [​IMG]

    Third company, Aquatuning:
    [​IMG]

    And finally last sponsor, Djungelapa:
    [​IMG]

    I find the result interesting because with the depth of the plexiglass,
    it look like a relief effect... :lol:
    Tell me what you think!:dremel:

    That's the important thing right there!

    It's a shame they haven't got an english website as i'd order some to try it out if I could find my way around, if there is an english version that I don't know about please tell me. I've tried as many sleeves as I could get my hands on and whilst many do look similar in photographs to the mdpc-x sleeve it isn't until you work with them that any differences for the better or worse become evident. So whilst the photo's are useful, tell us how you found working with it when you get to that stage. Oh and please post a pic of a terminal crimped onto the wire using that crimping tool, i'd love to see the results from this particular tool.

    Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next :thumb:

    I work with both sleeves, djungelapa and mdpc-x, (i sleeve Psu for other peaople), so i know the feeling and every aspect, i cant see or feel any difference at all, the big diference is that mdpc-x has more colors availble right now, and mdpc-x has more sleevetypes availble :), im talking to "Stefan", the owner of djungelapa about making a english version right now :)

    Out of curiosity (not because my next mod will include it or anything...ahem), but what did you use for a controller for the temperature / fan? Just some scripting in [insert language here] or something like an Ardunio?

    The colors are really beautiful!
    By cons I can not compare to the MDPC-X sleeve for the simple reason that I never bought MDPC sleeve... ;)
    But I can say that the sleeve of Djungelapa is very nice, the stitches are tight and lets nothing pass the color of the sleeved wire! :D
    I'm so happy! :thumb:


    In fact, after my discussion with the director of Djungelapa,
    he told me that her website should have an English version soon to open up to international customers. :)
    For me, I wanted to use this sleeve to make discover it at the French modder ... ;)

    When I will use the crimping tool, I'd do a picture of the result, what should happen soon, because I have to do all the fan wire to the right size ... :)


    Ok! To control the temperature, I use a programmable controller type PIC16F628,
    in which I transferred a program in Basic language that I had created. :)
    This small controller is associated with a screen, a digital temperature sensor, a servo-motor and two 140mm fan. ;)

    Ok!
    Thanks! ;)


    I would present you my color plan for the sleeving:
    [​IMG]

    Black and Red for the ATX, PCI and EPS connector to "recall" the color of the motherboard,
    white for fan and front panel,
    and I will not sleeve the SATA and Molex wire to have a simple and discrete effect... :)

    Yes! :D



    So to start my first sleeving, yesterday morning, I stared by sleeve a fan... :D

    I made a first test with the hair dryer of my mother but the heat-shrink doesn't shrink enough,
    so I use a competition hair dryer! :D :dremel:
    [​IMG]

    And then finally I had got a good result! :)
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then I cut the piece of heat-shrink for ATX 24pins and EPS 12V wire:
    [​IMG]

    And then yesterday, I started the sleeving of the ATX 24pins wire... ;)
    Pictures soon as it's over! :D

    Anyway, I like sleeving, the rendering is so cool! :thumb:
    I found this already great in the pictures of other mod, but to see thet in real... :blush: Hihi

    Did you go back to flash on the last post there:p?
    Also remember, no direct light on the parts, like a flashlight or something:) Always make it "bounce" of a wall or its like:D

    The pictures of the sleeve is REALLY good! A MASSIVE improvement! :)
