Case Mod - In Progress My Project - The Rise Of The Triad.

The back plate is going well. Here it is here, and please, don't be too jealous of my meerkat PJs.



And the polished edge. Not the best, but then I don't have the sandpaper to polish it out properly.



However, I have learned a trick I picked up when doing the nose cone for this build. If your polishing isn't good enough or you have marks that show up when it's dry (but not wet) then a decent clear coat/ lacquer is what you want.

Here is my new secret weapon.



Et Voila.



I have also scanned it for producing the graphics etc. Obviously as it has been sanded quite thoroughly it now isn't exactly the same size it was before..



That's about it for now

 

Love the rad bracket!

 

Thanks Bill. Hope you had a great Christmas mate

It seems I missed a post here.. One mirror back plate !





Now I can finally see my lovely water block it means more LEDs though, but that's nothing too involved.

Today I hooked up everything on the desk to test, running from an external PSU (not the pump obs)







And then started the very slow and tedious task of creating my own AS page.



Still need to learn that, but thankfully it is very similar to AIDA 64 and a emulator I used to work with.

 

"Spot the AC"



It's pretty neato how the whole fan frame lights up, too. That's saved me about £40.

 

First time ive really taken the time to read right thru, ( i hate PB) but some of your mod and hardware choices are top notch man!

Had a little headphone gasm too! i think im into about my 20th headphone atm too my other passion is diy headphone stands!

 

As soon as this is finished I need to make a rack for my headphone amps.. Too many, not enough space

 

OK my best attempt at a "daylight" pic. Unfortunately there is pretty much none today.



And a better pic of the AC



Still lots to do (get some lighting for the back plate, make a USB cable etc) but it's getting there

 

So I finally found something to light up the GPU with so that you can see it in the mirror.





It's LED, not a cathode (so no big lump to hide) and it has a milky shell. So you can't see the LEDs. Perfect really. Will need to be altered and so on but it's mainly the shell I was after.

 

Just a quick note. If you read this thread and the photos are missing from PB then this little tool here..

Will fix it. As for the rig I will be working on it next week. The coolant has failed, so I need to flush and replace.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's brilliant! F*CK putobucket!
