Shuttle Mods - Update on last page /!\ Was on the paper !

Hello all,

quite a long time I havn't posted projucts or mods, but here I am !!

I bought the Shuttle SN45G (v1.0) this summer, and I am very happy with it...

this case can be a crazy mod machine!!


in this log I will update all my shuttle mods, and since I don't do all at once, this topic will be updated each time I have a new mod, maybe next week, maybe in a month...


****************************************

So the First update we are starting with today, is the lighted case feet !!

as you could see in the pics,
as a LEDs expert, I usually have a problem to choose the LED color - because all colors suits and all are beautiful !!

So nothing to do - I used one more time RGB LEDs Yey !

each feet has a RGB LED, and all leds are connected together.
long and boring soldering job, but...

 

OKAY - trying all the colors :






























Fantastic !!






now wiring :















changing NB sink to zalman zm-nb32j::






mounting the new panel

 

Motherboard is installed back in the case !





what a mess


















Final PICs !!














Now all the colors are shown !

































Download the movie showing the fading action !!! (1.3MB)





Thank you for viewing my mods,
will be very happy to get replies !!!

As I said, much more to come !!....

could you make the pictures smaller please.

they are way to big even on broadband.

eg:

small

big

 

RESIZE THE PICS

I really dont like to wait 5minutes for pictures to open, that just is too long time with 1024/512-connection.

So please do something to them!

 

yeah... i agree, rezize the pics.

and the feet's looks cool.

 

30MB!
seriously reduce those pics to about 600pixels width and under 100kb each

 

ooops...

I was sure I was taking 640*480 pics on the camera...

OK
i will find a resising softwarwe and will update.


Avner

 

So I arranged pics

all's OK now !! only 3MB

 

looks good

 

Very neat way of making lighted feet.

 

love the feet, any chance of posting the wiring diagram for them? I would love to do something with RGB LED's

 

thanks !!!

diagram maybe later...


Avner

 

not to sound like an ass or anything but why in gods green earth are you using that big ol' fan controller that takes up a whole 5.25 bay?! just use speedfan to control your temps with software instead of hardware. Me being a fellow shuttle owner and im sure the rest of the shuttle owners reading this know that real estate in a shuttle is at a premium, id personally take that fan controller out, put in either a burner or maybe some kind of 5.25 bay water cooling device. As for the mod tho, great idea with multi color led feet, looks great. I would just maybe steath the front a little bit, or at least match up the color schemes.

 

thank you....

I LOVE this controller, and it matches the color scheme as you say


I dont use any CD-ROMs, I use LAN to transfer anything I need.
I think it is ridiculous to put a CDrom in a Shuttle... it is heavy, takes volume, and heats the system....
it doesn't worth it.... as I see it...

mybe a dvd burner with many many functions will be useful there - but i still have no something like that )

 

I like the LED feet a lot, keep up the good work.

 

Thanks

it is good because these who dont like it very lighted, can dimm the strengh of the leds...

Avner

 

Just popping in to say I love the RGB lit feet. Brilliant! I too would love a diagram or an explaination when you have time. Is the color controlled by the pot or the three switches?

JM

 

Thanks

actually the pot is the 'main' controller,
and a switch for every color

very very simple diagram...

here we go...




you can develop it and for example put a pot for every color, it will make it great !

Avner

 

looks really good, keep it up
