Case Mod - In Progress The Theory of Everything. Dec. 21st. End of the world? Have some final pics. :-)

Same as suggested before, plus room for a Bulgin switch?

 

You're way off. I have a sneaking suspicion we could do this all day, so wait until friday and the answer will be revealed!

 

Friday it is then.

 

....and now we have to wait until friday to have a small secret revealed.

You're certainly taking your sweet ass time with this one, eh? But maybe you DID mean christmas 2012?

 

Graphics card bracket? that's just what popped into my head when I first saw it... with no size reference it's not that easy

Eagerly awaiting Friday!

 

The holes do look about right for dual DVI/HDMI outs, and s-vid out or something....

I think it fits in that slot below the mobo though, which would rule that out... hmmm...

 

Drawing shows a hole on each side of square openings. I think the CNC ovals are due for a bit od file work and some time on the drill press. Scale is too wide for USB. Check the cable picture.

All I know is that it will be sweet.

Seriously people? You dont recognize a vid card pocket when you see one? Took me about .05 seconds to see that.

 

If you have never owned a video card it is not so apparent.

Just sayin.
Oh, and screw what it's for - just awesomeness of being able to do this is worth the price of admission.

Crap. I jammed two lines together.

Friday it is. Unfortunately I had forgotten that I'm going to one of my nephews 3 year birthday today, so the update will be a bit short and not contain all I wanted!

But you'll get some of it!

BF3 is taking up a lot of my time man... Oh and girlfriend, friends and family are also requesting a bit of my time!

Deadline is still the first week of may!

You are quite right!

Yes, and no. Remember to rule NOTHING out in this forum!

But you are right! A bit of filing, and a couple of holes!

Thanks a lot sir!

 

As mentioned, I had to cut it short today. But I have the next 10 days off, so some progress is to be expected!

But it is indeed a GFX backplate:





I don't know exactly what went wrong in measuring, but I had to take a bit off of the corner of the GFX pcb. No problems though, it's just PCB!



Sorry for the short update, I'll be back during the weekend with more!

 

You said I wasn't close, but it is to do with back IO.

Most awesome back gpu IO I ever seen though wow that gpu looks awesome. rep

 

We can bicker about that from here to Xmas!

The GPU is not the one I'm going to use. It's the first waterblock I ever made for a GFX. It's a8800 gts 320 mb... Not much UMPH in that anymore!

 

True, still nice though.

 

Oh man! I was right!

That is looking awesome! Did I miss the pictures if you making that GPU block somehow?

 

(I love when I get to use that)

Actually it's an old card only used for the purpose of testing. It's a 8800 gts.

I'll be using a 9800 gtx+ for this build, which is also from my old computer.

 

Small update: I bought some fittings. I was supposed to redo some myself, but they were on sale and for less than $1 a piece for these - Looking that good, there was no way I neede to do that!







I should be going to the workshop tomorrow, so hopefully yet an update shall be here by then!

 

Less than $1.00, I'm assuming you grabbed all that they had in stock ? They do look very nice.

 

Yeah must have been really tempting, they add up to a lot these fancy fittings, fittings like this wasn't around when I dabbled with water cooling so everything didn't look so good compared to how they are now but the extra eye candy sure costs.

Nice bargain.
