    Currently it is like this. Today (Friday April 4th) in the evening my order of 6 blue LED fans & a Sunbeam Rheobus comes in. However, I will be leaving this morning (8am Central Time) for Tulsa, OK...So I won't be able to put the stuff to use till I get back, Sunday...

    So for now here are some pics...(BTW I don't know how long they will stay hosted because at the moment they are hosted off my old DSL account which was given up for cable 2 days ago but I can't use the FTP on cable so this is all I have right now lol)

    The top 80mms, side 80mms, and rear 80mms will all be replaced by the blue LED fans that arrive while I am gone. The Sunbeam Rheobus will have the decals/writing/whatever carefully scraped/"goof-off"ed and will go in that empty bay you see at the top...



    The temperature LCDs are the video core on the left, the CPU on the right. Surprisingly, when I took off the cracked, unmanagaeble thermal stuff that was on the GF4 and put on some AS3, the temps dropped more than 10 F....crazy...


    Here are the specs for the system too in case you care lol:


    AMD Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4GHz (working on unlocking/overclocking, current max through FSB is 1660MHz )

    Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum

    256MB PC-2100 Mushkin DDR Memory

    PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti4400 128MB 275 / 550 @ 300 / 600 (working on max)

    Built in C-Media 5.1 Channel Digital Audio (Optical/Coaxial Digital I/O)

    Western Digital 80GB ATA 100 / 7200rpm / 8MB cache Special Edition

    Western Digital 30GB ATA 100 / 7200rpm / 2MB cache

    TDK VeloCD 16x10x40x(32x Audio rip)

    Antec 350watt SmartBlue Illuminated

    Lian-Li Aluminum PC7 USB

    ViewSonic A95f PerfectFlat 19" Aperture Grille

    IBM Active Response 104 key

    Logitech iFeel MouseMan

    Sony 100watt x 2 DE135 Stereo receiver

    Realistic 110watt x 2 Stereo receiver

    Sony 140watt 3 way 8" woofers, 3" mids, 1" liquid cooled tweeters

    Radio Shack 10" woofers in wooden enclosures



    Mods:

    []Lexan window on left case panel (molded edge)
    []Lexan window on top case panel (molded edge)
    []Blue cold cathode kit
    []Bezel cutout for front intake (molded edge)
    []2 x 80mm blue LED front intakes
    []2 x 80mm blue LED side intakes
    []2 x 80mm blue LED top exhausts
    []2 x 80mm blue LED rear exhausts
    []Sunbeam 4 port rheobus
    []Stealthed CD ROM drives
    []Rounded data cables
    []Loomed power cables
    []Lian Li Dual Temperature LCDs




    That is it till Sunday. Then I will get high quality pictures, and the system will be temporarily complete (modding is never finished lol, there is always something still to do)

    On pic number seven from the top - is that a lit network plug I see? Or is it just the LEDs and the camera playing a joke on me?
    The idea of lighting up the plugs on the network card was discussed here a couple of weeks ago.

    Looks like the normal green LED you get to show the network is up.

    I take it the rheobus is going in the top bay.

    Definately nice and bright!

    it probably isn't as bright as it seems, it's just the pos webcam I have to deal with usually...


    Here is the rheobus I will put in later tonight when I get home, just remember that all he crap, labelling, logos and/or blasphemic vandalism from the factory will be scraped/wiped/cleaned off..

    Nice job on the top window + blowholes!!

    I'm very surprised that your PSU can handle so much load on the 12V rail :eeek:

    By the way, you can't use rheostat/baybus with LED fans...

    lol I have had this case since October 2001. The only Lian Li at Fry's, not even on the shelf. I was just looking for a case and came across the box. When I saw it I didn't know wtf Lian Li was but when I opened the box in store, I bought it within 5 minutes lol...


    First mod was a ghetto intake on the side, the "molding" on the cut was electrical tape lol...

    Soon afterwards I installed a window with a jigsaw, then molding and dual neons from Auto Zone...

    then top blowhole

    then top window

    then CD ROM window that died, another one I tried died last Christmas lol, no more CD windows for me...




    ya I've been modding it since winter 2001, I wonder if I'll ever actually be "finished"




    I would like to build my own acryllic case, but the last one I thought up, the AMD Symbol (http://www.pimprig.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=401&papass=&sort=1&thecat=504) was obviously built already lol, I posted the idea, and he built it bc I have no money, yet, to do such a thing :(


    Ubermich is a LiLi hater. He thinks if it isn't steel, or ghetto, that it isn't good lol. He always complaining about my aluminum case and how his steel antec is better (even though he ghettoized the mobo tray with a holesaw lol)






    ya, enough blabbin, lol
