Hello there (General Kenobi) Here is my new mod based on a In Win Chopin, quite simple, a mix of wood and aluminium. This is the hardware : (sorry for bad quality MDPC X logo...) AMD Ryzen 3 2200g Asrock AB350 mini ITX In Win Chopin argent Corsair Dominator 2*4Go Samsung 750 SSD M.2 250Go Noctua NH-L9x65 For the modding part i have : Lamptron modding tool for cables MDPC-X Titanium grey Wooden covering I'm going to : sleeve the PSU place covering disembowel the case to be able to put the M.2 SSD and his cooling from Hybrid Cooling remove/hide the red on the MB change the panels of the case, hardware do not fit in the case on purpose Here is a big spoiler : I'll go more into detail in the next weeks. Bye!
Yes, slightly more... But i don't have any 3D Sketch... I hope you won't mind The mod is really near to be finished right now, but i'll make a complete log on the job done. This PC will be used on my TV to internet surf and game a little (emulation)
Hello, Today i'll sho you the ork done on the MB to match the color theme. First, how the board look like : It's too red, so the first thing as to remove anodisation from rads with a sandblaster, here is the reslut : Then, i mount CPU, rad and RAM, and 3Dprinted a piece to hide the red on the RAM slots : As always, Dominators are awesome...
It's not one of those xenos undead machines YOU HERETIC! What Monolith is not only 40k stuff?.... Hum... Smell like a trap... Thanks! Thank you, this project is a small one, it won't be long. But I've have a little idea for the end of the year, i've to contact some people! Today i'll show you the job done on the case. First, i would like to say this case is really good, for a simple build you will have enought place to do the job easily. But this is not really a standard build, so i removed some parts on the case : A big hole under the MB, to be able to mount M.2 SSD + dissipator Bigger hole for cable management on the front. Then i glued aluminium part for a clear look on the edge, in the back of the MB the aluminium plate has a hole to show the M.2 radiator. I also made a PSU cover (with wood covering already on it) and a plate ot hide i/O back panel. Last thing i've done is a 3D printed plate to replace the upper grid, and a "logo" for the front : It was printed in red, i painted it and then put the covering and cutted what should be cutted Bye!
Hello, I planed to sleeve my first PSU with this mod, i really enjoyed it. I won't really describe how to sleeve, there is a LOT of tutorials well done. Here is the result on the 24 pins : For the CPU 8 pins it was a bit more tricky since the cable look like that : I wanted to have 8 wires coming instead of four. So i cutted, and soldered new wires to get something nicer : see you, thanks for reading!
Hello, After those steps i put the wood covering on most of the parts of the case : I also replaced the original fan from the CPU cooler by two 40mm. To fix them, i bended an aluminium plate to the good size (and i put covering on it), so the fan just hold in place : I also bend the bottom of the aluminium so the whole thing clamp the radiator. So in place it looks like : Next time, the two panels and the result, but not the final shooting!
Hello, Here is the job done one the side panel of the case. On the hardware side i create the panel from acrylic sheet and some pieces of aluminium : I glued aluminium spacers on the case to fix it : For the other side i just cutted the panel and fixed an acrylic sheet with double sided tape : And now just more pictures, the case will be used horizontally but can be use in both way :
Thanks, and sorry for not having changed the topic to complete, i wanted to do some new pictures, but i've got some problems those days
No worries, just take/upload them when you can. Love this little mod, "simple" and really effective, the sort of thing a lot of folks don't realise they can do.
Exactly, i spend "only" 650€ for this build, using brand new stuff. If you don't concider the 3D printing, everything can be done with standard equipement. Maybe i'll do a full black brushed aluminium version one day, just for fun..., Or for someone who needs it
