Update time. I've cut the rough window and fitted the side panel for some pictures. I've still to file the window down and you might notice a lack of plexi. It is cut, but not in place yet. I've also started a "light-bus" if you like. It's a 3.5" plate with 5 toggle switches. Only one is installed at the moment as I am waiting on more in the post. The switches will control: LCD backlight (red/blue) Something (on/off) Internal UV cathodes (on/off) Resevoir UV lighting (on/off) Something else (on/off) A 3.5" plate with 5 holes drilled for the switches Rough cut with no plexi. The cable is my pump power lead Night shot Another night shot
The window looks good, and I love those stealthed blowholes ouija Can't wait to see the window finished!!
Begun work on another Audigy2 faceplate. Will be documenting it for the mod guides forum later on Also got a little (glowy) surprise planned for it.
For some reason, the side shot in the dark reminds me of Domo. I like it tho. The yellow-ish leds in front and the multi colored lighting inside are cool.
The LEDs on the front are bi-colour green/red depending on the fan speed. The cathodes are UV. The intake fans are blue and the exhaust fans are red. Domo?? If you are talking about the fans and window looking kinda like a face, it's what gave me the idea for the window on my next case (PC-60)
Finished filing the window down. Sanded the edges from 240 to 600 grit. Nice and smooooth. Double sided tape down and ready for perspex Mmmm untouched perspex in place I can't install the window just yet as my pump cable is hanging out the side of the case Another angle
That is one REEAALLY nice clean panel ouija !! Respect to ya BTW, you using Dremel, jigsaw, holesaw or a combination for that cutting??
Regarding the pump, I was looking for a relay and found the Criticool Powerplant. It's a PCI card which uses power from a PCI slot to turn on the relay. The problem is, I can't find a UK distributor for version 2, which has power adapters for other countries and some other added bits and pieces. If anyone knows where to get the Criticool Powerplant PCI Pump Relay II please let me know. Thanks for the comments
A quick update to say I've changed the voltage of my last intake fan. After getting it all braided and everything, only 2 of the 3 LEDs lit. Instead of rewiring another, I hacked off the cables and soldered them onto the fans again. Makes me wish I did this for every fan, as there are less wires and it is a lot neater. Next up: top exhaust hole and Audigy 2 Faceplate pictures
Finally we see the audigy faceplate return! Seriously I cant stand that beige/white/ even black! color on the faceplates! Thats just my opinion though... Any ways, I like all the work you've done...I just have a queston on your bay res...did you put the 5.25 covers in the case THEN cut them? or tape them together, then cut them, then put them in the case? I want to do something similar (SIMILAR) but I'm not sure if i should clamp or tape and use the case
