i like micro things, so i made micro case with smalest dimensions as possibly, first i made a prototyp from paper a litle scheme after that i finally bought a plexi (polycarbonat) 700x530x5mm for 15euro, lets cutting case dimensions is 190mm width, 260mm height and 230mm depth inside is microatx mobo w/ duron 1,2ghz, 256MB ram , 160GB seagate, radeon9000, sound blaste live, pci wifi card, normal power suplly and sony cd-rw (ps. on the cpu is 92mm fan and in the case is 3* blue 80mm clear fans) so after i cuted the plexi i made some holes lpt port is vired back to case because leds are controled by them (more later) stay tuned it will be better and better
Nice first post! Welcome to the forums! I'm looking forward to whats comming next! its looking pretty good so far! good luck L
there is final design i also made front-side usb with transfer led indication and irda module lets drill front-side there will be a litle switchers like in the plane, switching power, fans, leds next i glued back and down side by toulen, acid is good too, or glue for acrylic, it is your choice i driled in some leds, in the left is 3blue, 2red, test: after getting together and with testing mobo, heatsink etc stay tuned it will be better and better more photoz on my website www.gigis.tk
Looks really promising . I too love small computers and although I find Shuttles a little too small, your MATX design looks brilliant. Keep up the good work .
Looks very cool so far. Gotta love plexi. Hey, you might want to change that front fan to an intake...imho...
yea front 80mm is now intake, in the left, down is one 80mm to get out heat air from hdd, gpu and psu, in the left +up is wind tunnel to the cpu 92mm big cooler, hot air from the top half is blown out the 80mm on the back, temperatures CPU-42, HDD-38, case-34 celsius degrees ) fans are regulated to 4V(5V with resistor) can be switched to 6V(7V with resistor) it means about 1200rpm and +/-18dB ) it is very very hard to place all these big components to too small case, changing hdd is a 1/2hour work, front fan take 1hour..., it is very conterated and linked each to other... to get heat air from cpu i drilled some holes testing fans holes for graphic, wifi and sound card fan holes i drille with this i have no tool for making 75mm hole so i make it driled for 5 minuts , edging fo 1 hour gluing together and the back side testing... stay tuned it will better and better
there are about 40Leds, 8blue leds (3left, 3right, 2up) is controled by lpt port and can blicking like night-rider or many more effect or can be used like color-sound with winamp plugin, there are red led too 2 on the left side, 2 on the right side, one up, 2 down and one in the midle, one red led indicates transfering via usb, one indicate transfering via ide(cdrw-burning etc), in the wind tunnel are 4red led, in the logo on the front are one red ane one blue, in each fan are 3 blue leds,... everything is controled by switchers on the front and back for friend and for shows i switch everything on and case lights like x-mas tree, when i am alone in the dark i switch on only decent red underlight (it dont harm eyes like 3000mCd blue leds) and i can see on keyboard how to build lpt-led http://www.casemodgod.com/ledmeter.htm href=http://www.casemodgod.com/ledmeterpg2.htm programs for editable blicking via lpt ftp://www.slunecnice.cz/slunecnice/win/l/lle.zip LPT LED EFFECT (SR) ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/sk_made/lptled.zip LPTLED (SR) http://www.kemo-electronic.com/download/ksi8_winall.exe ksi8 (usa) http://www.kemo-electronic.com/download/RelaisTimer11.exe RelaisTimer11 (usa) color-sound/ vu-metr via plugin in winamp(winamp.com--plugins--search--led) light show 1.3 k@ape http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=86768 dont use speedfan... prototype videos http://gigi.kvalitne.cz/912.avi http://gigi.kvalitne.cz/913.avi to perfec fit i have to make hdd support and there it is still testing... old eletrical circuit and psu psu needed some mods neither CDRW teeesting testing red underlight front usb in action
Man... That red light effect is just so nice, i don't think that you should use blue led fans, or led fans at all... It looks so nice with the red!
looking griggin awsome!!!!!!! i agree with the death of the led fans! get some new fans... the led's are lookign awsome.... I love it...keep it going
you didnt have a holesaw..... so you modded one..... dude, that alone just rocks so much. nice case indeed, i do like that 'edge effect' with the red leds, i dont know if it was intentional or accidental, but it looks sweet.
thats what i was also thinking...you don't even need to take the led's out...just disable them................. then when you on the rare ocasion turn on a light......the fans will still be semi clear....
that is why i want to have multimoder rating below my nick )) i am just kidding edge effec was planed. enjoy the night show btw in the front are 5switchs (power on/off, fans low/ultra-low, red leds on/off, blue leds managed by lpt port on/off and blue fans leds on/off) clear fans arrived i have to mod wires after and before litle messy light show USB indication only fans - from side only fans and red only red all on only blue all on stay tuned it will be better and better
