The Obsidian Spire | Stacker Mod: NEW PICS of Improvements!

mhh, the shop where I bought the glcd is no more ( i think it was lcd4you.com or .de), I have the display for 2 years now.

edit: I have found a link where you can buy it: http://www.lc-design.de/shop/de/index.htm ( --> Grafik-LCD-Module --> 320*240 the last one)

 

That's too bad... Then... Do you know the exact type of the display?

 

Why batteries?

By the way. You mention you need batteries for the LED at the front of your case. Why did you chose to use batteries? I mean, you have to keep changing the batteries every time they are empty.

 

I have found some pics of the project.

here they are:

my old thermometer(old pc), i will put it into the new one later



stacker unmodded:





my cpu cooler (silvred copper with Peltier 154 Watt (peltier not installed in the new pc)



Aqua computer: Aquatube



some cables and other things of the old pc



this will be installed to the new pc later, switches and poties (without the cables and ventilator...)



the top of the case


















stealth drives









2 pics of the bottom (i haven´t more, but i will make some of the finished bottom)





then the desk was cutted and painted ("??primed??" and painted in carbon-black-metallic)

I hope that´s enough for now

 

you cannot use cables because when the drives open the cables must go out with the drive (bad english, i know), and when the drives close the cables must go into the drives, ( I have tried to do so, but without success, one dvd drive was destroyed)

Only the stealth drive bezles have batteries, the other have calbes!!!

 

How about point contacts? When the drives are closed the contacts touch like so: -----|----- (where | are the contacts). When the drive opens the contacts do not touch, like so: ------| |-------
I realize that that means that the LEDS go out whenever you open your drive but that should not be a problem. Saves a whole lot of batteries

 

mhhh, good idea. I will think about it. The batterie power is enough for months!! led´s need very few electric energy.

 

nice job on the stacker.
hijack: was hast du noch so fuer pläne fuer das case? kannst du nen paar fotos von der wasserkuehlung machen :hijackend

 

German: (not important for the english readers)

ja kann ich machen kann dir aber nicht sagen wann. außerdem ist die nix besonderes, hab kein geld für eine neue, bin ein armer ex-Schüler der auf der Suche nach einem Ausbildungsplatz ist. Habe aber vor mir eine gpu-Wasserkühlung zu holen und eine für die festplatten(wenn ich neue hab)
Muss mir auch neue schläuche holen(schwarze) und dann diese gescheit verstauen, habe mometan aber keine lust mehr was zu machen, weil ich massiv hardwareprobleme hatte und nun für einige zeit die schnauze voll habe. ich arbeite seit Monaten am dem Case und das fast jeden tag, inclusive unfälle z.b. bohrer aberutscht und in den finger, ist nun 3 wochen her und habe immer noch taubheitsgefühle!

Nice case, love the blue

 

Hello nice lcd.
Where did you get that GLCD program I have searched google but didn't find anything.

/Peter

 

you cannot download it, because the guy who programmed it closed the project a half year ago.

I have the software. contact me: -----------------

 

very nice stacker you got there.
and as if the stacker was'nt large enough already in stock form!

 

pic of the frame for the lcd (selfmade)

 

Just a thought, if you use batteries for the led's on the stealthed drives, won't they stay on if you ever turn you computer off?

 

yes, but that´s no problem for me, the stealth drives have buttons.
I will update soon, I will paint the interior black and buy aquagrafx from aqua-computer for my Leadtek 5950 Ultra

,new hoses (black PUR).

with plug&cool


, new cable managment like my friend with his "i-spider-stacker"


Later I will solve the problem with the stealth drive batteries.

 

big stacker mod update

hi,

I promised updates, here they are.

the old border.



the new/old one.



Thanks to ferry!(i-spider)

Aquagrafx for my leadtek 5950 Ultra.



The hole case was painted black in the interiour. My Asus Board crashed during the modding. (not my fault) 3 times the same problem. The board was 2 times by asus for repair. The 3 time warranty was lost because the board was older than 24 months!
Now I have to use a "ASROCK"
I will buy a new cpu-cooler later, this is an silvered copper cooler from zern.
I used it with a peltier(155 W, 10 Celsius, top!) but it needed to much energy.



2 BAD, bad, baddddd quality pics from the interiour(I hate my digicam!!)






Here is the baby. Maybe some stars for the mod???? plz



Doesn´t it look clean?





The mod isn´t finished, my mod will never come to an end!
I have to do some work with: better wiring , paint the drives black, buy aquadrives.... but I have no money at the moment!

Any ideas what I could mod next?

I hope you like it!

Mhh, something else. I´m searching for a name for the stacker, some ideas? Maybe: Black Hawk??????


Sub-Zero

 

looks very very nice!
