PROJECT: Green Dragon | major delay | Updated 10/2

yes. it can run on both 230 and the other volt thing. but it is delivered with a power cord with thre pins, so you have to use your old psu power cable if you live in europe.

 

Any updates mate? A special thanks for that e-mail

 

There wont be any updates for awhile because Acid Burn has sore pecs. Nice going with the case, a shame it takes so much time, how many people need to change graphics card inbetween mods. Sheesh, O'Malleys on saturday??

 

hahahahaha you funny-hump

O'malleys on saturday it is! wiskey in the jar

 

Front finished

2 days ago i wired the leds in the front door. the picture has pretty poor quality, because i had to use a special effect on the camera so the color would be as close as possible to the real color of the leds. (don't know why the cameras i have tried, have problems with taking pictures of green light...). the two light streams you see at the bottom of the window is only shown in the picture not in real life (maybe because of the closing time on the lens in that mode).




i have also painted the last coat of black gloss paint.



then a layer of clear coat



the difference isn't that obvious in the pictures, but the gloss is very much better in the real life with the clear coat. haven't decided if i should apply another clear coat, or just install the window.

what's left you say? well:

*hot gluw the leds in the top wondow and solder two wires to their circut.
*glue the windows to the doors.
*install the water cooling
*install the hardware

(in that order)

 

nice painting man, gl with the finishing off the mod

greetz,
Thomas

 

The paint job you've achived on your case just blows me away every time I see it, it's amazing.
as ever, can't wait to see the finished mod

 

This case give me the , 'scuse me french, hardest on I've ever experienced. Keep up the good work and I'll see you tomorrow.

 

Agreed

 

Pump leak

you might remember that i broke my pump a while ago... i ordered the parts to replace the broken ones,and installed them.. so i threw the broken parts in the trash, believing everything was ok. but i was wrong. I didn't notice the rubber gasket that was attached to the backside og the broken part... Without that gasket my pump is leaking more than a 94 year old woman

this is how it looks right now.

 

good thing ya did a propper leak test!

 

Shiny paint job. Love it.

 

Your lucky, dude.... Good thing that there werent any harddrives

 

Can you replace the gasket at all?

 

yeah I'm glad that i hadn't installed the parts yet! but it would be impossbile to install the parts first, because of the space the water cooling requirers.

yeah. I just have to order a new one from aquacomputer's web shop (located in germany). But because of the extremely slow mail system here in belgium, it takes about 3 weeks for it to arrive! If i had the gasket i would have been finished today... That's just my kind of luck..

 

Are you not Water Cooling your X800

 

I'm not sure..... I have the money, and now i have towait for the gasket anyway. but I'm not sure if my 2 120 rads (black ice extreme and black ice) will provide enough cooling to cool cpu, chippset, graphic card and two hard drives....

 

I think the cooling would be sufficient, if Nexxo can run 2 CPU's and a 9800 Pro with one BIX

 

Personally I'm not too keen on the jagedy edges, but the colours and the dragon is nice

 

That's a really nice image in my head now Have you tried looking in your local hardware/plumbing stores, they might sell a gasket for something else that would be the right size.
I guess this a reminder for everyone: Always leak test first.
Good luck with finding that gasket.
