Case Mod - In Progress Official "John Hanlon Fund Raiser" PC Build (Thank you Mach!)

Oooh, Cheapskate! I can definitely see Colbert with this PC. Killer looks and hardware -- the complete package. I cannot imagine a better cause either.

@John We're working on it! I reminded Claire today that she needs to register a couple places including Bit-tech.

 

@ Kayin Black, Is DDC Brand New? Please only donate New hardware for this build. Ebay Bidders will be referred to this worklog, to read details about this build. We don't want any used parts in this system. Thank you

I've posted an annoucement for our Project on CaseModBlog Today!

“John Hanlon” Community Fund Raiser PC Build gains Momentum!

 

About half way through the 24pin, first time Ive done these colors. I feel patriotic in a sense. =P
(please excuse the poor iphone pics)

Very nice - Lutro0, is this Paracord?

 

Yes it is, I wanted to do MDPC but my supplies is blue are low, and I want to give enough extra for little things as well. So Paracord it is.

 

The DDC has the new LED PCB from diyinhk, so the electronics are 100% brand new. The pump is a DDC-1, but as the board is the part that ages it's basically an unused pump. I simply verified operation (and lighting) after the PCB replacement.

 

Well, it looks amazing - since Nils is laying low these days (good for him - need to take stress seriously!) Paracord is a very, very good alternative. Also, since it was invented by the americans, I guess it's only fitting for this theme?

 

hah, Nils is a good friend. I am glad he is chilling for a while. The man is a working machine, he deserves it.

But here is the finished 24pin photos. I wont post the rest as well they are just 8pin and 6pins.
(again excuse the poor Iphone photos, still healing from a back surgery so cant really get the whole setup out)

Awesome job and great pics.

Nothing wrong with those photos apart from the last one

and great work Lutro0 these look fantastic. While i'm here nice work everyone involved with this build, from the guys doing the leg work, the behind the scenes people and who ever else deserves a thank you.

 

Yes, yes, yes! Lutro0 to the rescue and the result is as expected: godlike.

Lutro0, you got a guide on how you do cables like this one? I assume you construct it all from scratch?

 

I have a link in my signature to my video guides and faq, but as for the heatshrinkless: I have not made a guide for that as I sell them right now. But if you need any help please just ask.

Also, yes I make them from scratch wires and all.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

 

Cool, Thank you Kayin

@Lutro0, Awesome job! I added you to Sponsors on Page 1!

 

@Lutro0 - Aww, that looks sick.

@Scirocco - 'sup!

@Bill - "gains momentum" was last week. I think, "Out of control" is more accurate.

 

great build for a great cause! Cheers!

 

Just tell me where it goes. I can put a Molex or 3-pin on it as needed, if you want. I can't sleeve it with anything but black Techflex, though.

 

This is really looking amazing. Brad, that airbrush work is, as always, jaw dropping. Also, how can ANYONE NOT LOVE a custom cut water block. One of these years I'll have a proper space to really get some nice tools to get "Crazy" with my mods. Working out of a room in my house, (read, Man Cave) get's a little hard. There is simply no room for a drill press.

But I digress

It is inspirational to see the modding community and vendors come together like this. I thank you guys for what you do to bring our hobby in the lime light.

 

I will sleeve in pin it out bud. thanks!
