Project Octagon (updated 15/04/04)

Wow, looks like a cool project.

Cool projects dont come around to often anymore.

 

original and the modders content is there...

amazing work so far... also the japaniese is a nice touch, may i get a translation please???

 

Wow, the sandblasted characters look awesome.

 

Very Nice! i like the illuminated characters!

 

It's chinese And translation of every sign would be much typing work. But every side has a "theme", so here we go, from the left:

top row/pic:
- the numbers from 1 to 10 and 100, 1000
- traditional chinese congratulations
- some sayings
- good (peace, luck...)
bottom row/pic:
- the 12 chinese signs of the zodiac
- the 7 mortal sins
- the elements
- evil (war, death...)

 

Dude, if u want a simple way to sand LEDs, shove one in your drill, dont tighten it up too much. turn it on and rub a file on the top, gives a nice flat finish with little effort

 

is that the alphabet and 1-10 written in japanese there?

great work mate! got specs of the parts your using?

 

nice project, i ll just check every of your updates !

good luck and Have fun for the rest ;-)

 

At first, thanks for your good feedback!

@TMM: Check post 25 for the signs.

I'm not sure about the specs right now. I won't buy the hardware before I can mount it. As prices drop constantly, every week the hardware is lying around is just wasted money.
Currently, I would use an
- Athlon 64 3000
- 1 GB RAM
- a nvidia fx 5900 XT graphic card
- 2x120 GB SATA HDD
- a nice mobo with IDE/SATA-Raid and GBit-LAN

But we will see what hardware I can afford when it is time to think about that.
I'm looking forward to PCI Express etc.

Chances are good the CPU break the 10 GHz bareer before I'm finished.
