Dude didn't your harddrive get busted from opening it?

I've heard that a harddrive can't handle a little speck of dust.

 

very nice!!! love the idea's, what else you gonna do to it? tidy up the cables perhaps?
but a very nice build so far! congrats

 

that's really nice man, you plan on making this a log, or are you just posting to show us? one thing, your pictures took forever to come up.

 

thats cool. great idea.

 

there was a complete log but it was deleted (too old?)
so if you want see complete log, go to my pages www.gigis.tk but only czech language is aviable there

there so many cables because a lotz of ficuritties (8 leds contoled by lpt port, fan voltage regulator 3-5V, ++ lot more)

some ilustrating pictures








I will flex it

 

What I notice, besides of your moddingskills: Do you have 2 Nokia 7610's? A red one and a grey one?

 

Greeeat mod.
I specialy like the clever hardware distribution. I've gone through your log looking for answer but my czech is kind of rusty . Could you solve some of my thoughts.

Does it have heating problems? Did it realy need so many fans?

How is the hdd holder mounted? Is the plexi of the holder glued to the front of the case? looks like its resting on a fan at the front al some plexi at the back. Doesn't it vibrate?

Is de optical drive only screwed on one side?

What are the dimensions?

Cheers, you've got a very nice pc.

 

i have only 1 nokia 7650, but I moded cover from gray to red

dimensions are 23x26x19cm (mobo(microATX) has 22x25cm)

there are so many fans for good airflow, but they are running at 3V it means about 800rpm and 15dB

yea optical drive is mounted only on the side

and hdd(no vibrations) is only laying in front on the fan and in the back on 2 points....but there are so little space and spacing that it neednt any others screws, you can turn it upside-down and nothing moved (if you want to remove wifi card, you have to remove side panel, cd, then hdd, after that power supply, and that takes about 20mins++)

there are so many cables that sleeve them, it is my nightmare and that will be the last work on this case i hope
