    First of all: I'm from Germany and my english is not so good, but I hope you'll understand everything I write.

    [UPDATES:]

    13. July 2004 - The Accident
    13. July 2004

    22. July 2004 - small update
    23. July 2004 - TEASER PIC - WINDOW

    My current project is a Yeong Yang Server Cube B 0221, the "small" one.
    [​IMG]

    The Hardware will be:
    CPU: AMD Athlon 2000+ @ 1,71 Ghz
    GPU: GeForce 3 Ti 200 (a bit slow, but no money for a new one ...)
    Board: MSI – KT3 Ultra
    Sound: Audigy 2 ZS + 7.1 Inspire Soundsystem by Creative
    RAM: 512 MB
    160 GB HDD (40GB Samsung + 120GB Maxtor)
    + other drives (DVD-writer, CDwriter, Floppy
    PSU: 450W dualfan PSU by Q-Tec

    ok and now, let's start with the worklog:
    First part I modded is the PSU.
    When I bought it, it looked this way:
    [​IMG]

    First problem: The ATX-powerconnection-wire is much to short, so I added a 30cm part:
    [​IMG]

    then it was time to mod the PSU itself, that gold-color was so ugly, and it wouldn't fit into the rest of my case. Everything should be black, with red accessory and red light.
    So at first I painted the fanguards red (only two of them for the PSU):
    [​IMG]

    Then I painted the PSU-Case in black:
    [​IMG]

    Nice paintjob, isn't it?
    [​IMG]

    Ok then next part where the two fans inside the PSU:
    both are now upgraded with 4 red LEDs:
    [​IMG]

    hmm now let's put everything together:
    [​IMG]

    The light by the LEDs could be brighter but I tried the easiest way (4 LEDs on 7V). All the other fans in my case are going to be better.

    Ok that's the first part and enough for today. I'm currently working on the frontplate of the Case, but it's not done yet ;)

    Stay tuned :D

    hehe markus, you see, there are a lot of sectators in this forum.. and some are just lazy, or doesn't see the point in saying: "looks cool" to everyone :) I have got over 30000 views on my project now (id only sais 21000 but i had 9000 before the admin installed a poll), and i have "only" got about 320 replies.
    to quote 2pac: "that's just the way it is"... :thumb:

    I've got one of these myself and have done some minor mods to it, mainly to aid cooling. Will be watching this with interest as I love the start you've made with the PSU. Already makes it look like it's worth a good bit more than it did when you bought it :thumb: .

    Your English is perfect :) .

    I really like the cube theme and the red and gray/black is hot.

    BTW regarding posts.

    My saying is that if everyone posted that looked the threads would be huge and hard to read, bandwidth hogging, etc. I would rather have the people who have constructive things to say stuff. People like zapwizards ammo case and piloux's cases get a lot of cool!, etc. and it really clogs the thread after sometime. Divergence has about 280 replys and 40000 views, 30 of the replys coming after CM3...

    I would not worry so much about that as what you are doing...

    *On topic*

    What are you planning for the front? It looks good now but I would do someting like maybe smoothing it all out or adding some front intake somehow... Will be watching this one... :D

    [​IMG]
    Here you see the screws (I don't know the english name), which I've painted black now.

    [​IMG]

    atm I'm thinking about another small plexi-plate for the upper-left corner, for power-, reset-switch fancontrol, power LED ...

    It will have the same "design" as the fan-intake ...

    yesterday I told you that I want to build a second frontplate for the upper left corner, but today I though it would be nice to ubild one plate for the whole left side ...
    It should be kind of a tribal-style and after cutting a lot of "spikes" into the plexiglas, the accident happened:
    I was working on the airintake and I used one of these hole-drilling-things (don't know the name)
    I have a table-drilling-machine, so i can hold the plexi and pull a switch down to lower that hole-drill ...
    suddently this $%/&=§%/§ drill was stuck and I wasn't able to hold the plexi anymore, so it swung around and one of the spikes hit my thumb ...
    FU !!!! damn it !!!
    now I have a nice wound, which is bleeding and I have a broken plexi!!!!
    here are some impressions: (the red stuff is only paint, NO BLOOD :D )

    That's how it should look like ...
