Pics - http://51600.cjb.net/halo.html
Those pictures above will be moved soon to a new domain. Thats the pogress so far. Any new update pictures will be posted here.

 

Hate to burst your bubble but:

Also your photography is soo bad that you can't even tell what the pictures are of; lastly I diddn't even see any significant mods on that case.

Now that that is all out of the way...I'm sure it is a very nice mod.

 

Sorry but my camera is a intel play with no flash. If you actually read the page it said the disasembily process. I havent modded anything yet. so sorry to inconvience you . Im getting a new camera .

 

Wow...I'm an ass; sorry if I came across a bit harsh before.

 

darn it LANGER!!!!!!!


take it easy on the new guys...........



it's okay, i'll protect from the big bad wolf *waves stick at Langer*

"Back, BACK!!!!!!!!"

(j/k)


Welcome to Bit -Tech, aws Langer said, you should try to hold the cam a bit more steady, and more light, and when you got some modding pics post them on this site, not as a link, and then the admin won't have a problem with ya

 

Welcome to the forums, pumagt500! Although I eagerly look forward to your mod, the other guys here are right: you have to post pics (not links to pics) and you have to be able to show some modding in progress. Just showing case disassembly on its own is not enough.

Usually it is best to wait with posting a project log until you are already some way into it, so you have something to show off.

Also quality of pics counts --light your indoor shots properly, make sure the shot is focussed and use a tripod/support to prevent camera shake/blur. No point in trying to show off a spectacular job with poor pictures.

 

[off topic]Hey Nexxo when are you going to finish Metaversa? we are into year 3 are we not?[/off topic]

 

You can't rush perfection.

 

Thanks. Ill have some updated pictures tonight.

 

What size bit do you recomend for drilling the holes for the mobo standoffs? I gotta tap them too. Or I could buy a mobo tray and rivit it over the old one. what do you think? Has n e one ever put a car radio in a caomputer cd bay. I have a open bay I wont use in this comp. I think it would be awsome especialty at lan partys.

 

I cant even see what those pictures are of..

 

I have moved this to Modding for the reasons outlined above.

PM myself or another moderator when you are ready to turn this into a full and proper project log.

always happy to see someone starting something new...

best of luck to your firstone...

That plate I removed it restricted aire flow and got in the way of where the air duct will be.

Ill get this is I can take off the voice control portion. Does anyone know if thats possible to bypass the PCI plate stuff in the back and the voice controll box?
Kinda sucks that the only place around here toget electronic parts is the ratshack. I guess Ill have to take a trip tommrow and spend $600 on two rocker switches and some heat shrink tube.

-Unless you own Newegg, your'e thieving their bandwidth with those pics, IMG tags removed - Mister_tad

 

Judging by the pics, and from my past experience with the "voice activated whatchamathinger" aka sound activated circuit so itll blink to the taps of your hard drive, it should have either an on/off switch, or you could adjust the sensitivity up all the way so if theres something moving in a 20ft radius itll be blink, which will give you a conastant light, considering itll be in a pc case.

 

The only reason I dont want it is cuase the case isnt all that big and room is a issue so I dont wanna use it up on something I dont need. Its fine anywho I found this one
