well, the case has hit it's first redesign, now there is a 5.6" lcd screen and digital fan controller where the top drive bays were, and 1 internal hard drive bracket.
Could I get the sketchup files too? I have no intention of building this, but am a beginner at the whole concept of sketchup so I'd like to take a look at it, maybe borrow some of the component mock ups. endscape@comcast.net Looks awesome by the way! Endscape
Heres some images of the hardware thats going in here(got these off the net, cause most of it is in my current case, and didn't feel like draggin it out of my desk right now).
no, it's a standard 5.6" lcd for cars, i have strippet it to the raw screen, and will be making a bracket to hold it and the temp display together.
I'll have my rig out of the desk later, if i get a chance i'll put up some pics. (Everybody loves eye candy, right?)
Here ya Go, and before i get flamed for the pre-modded case, i just wanted the power supply, i've just been usin this case till i finish the cube, then it's goin to my friend for one of his comps.
Good project, every one is making a cube... i have to start planning one. Well when i saw the AL3 i remember that a portuguese modder has that on the side of this aluminium cube made some years ago.
ok, this case will most likely be painted black, but i'm having second thoughts about my lighting.what do you guys think?should my fans and cathodes be blue or red???or maybe green?
I'm so tired of blue lighting.. so tired... I vote green as for the lcds and the screen- what are all of those? the standard 5.6" lcd there- how much did that cost and where did you get it? and how are you going to wire it up? I love those little screens. Neat idea - hope the project turns out
the 5.6" is a standard tv monitor for a car, got it locally for 90 bucks,it will be hooked to the rca out on my 5900. the bottom right one is a matrix orbital 2x20 mx usb screen, and the other one is an lcd screen i harvested from a micro atx case by athenatech, it monitors 3 temps, has 3 fan channels, overheat alarm, time and date, HDD activity and alarm clock.looks like thisi tried to add the text back with photoshop, blurred out in the pic)
I dont know if this has been asked or answered already, but what is the thickness of aluminum? Wicked components! Endscape
it's all 1/8 inch aluminum, except for the drive cage for the cd roms and hdd, thats made out of 16 guage alu.
I'm leaning toward green, possibly with these fans with uv cathodes in the case.can anyone recomend some uv cathodes with really good lighting ability(really make stuff glow)?
Does anybody know where to get the wire fan grilles for 120mm that have flat laying legs, like the ones on power supplys?
