Case Mod - In Progress CM 690 II - AluminaTwins ROG'MOD-No advertising-3rd update of the day-10.08.2012

Hi,

At this time, I celebrate my small victory for my first acceptable hand homemade...

I learnt lot of amazing things with all people who followed me through my brain project, following all of your own projects and my longs hours of work!

Now, I feel ready to do all my project only with my hands.

At this time, I spent lot of money (energy too) in this project.

The next steps of my project will require more tools and raws materials involving sponsors.

I don't know how i can be credible for a company. If you have some advices to give me before i'll attempt firsts approches. As I often say in my previous posts: Feel free to tell me!!

Stop talking now, and some pictures updates of the 460 AluminaTwinS (I know, another stupid name héhé!! FrenchTouch):

 

How much space is there between the 2 cards?.

I'm thinking if there is about 10mm you might get away with having a fan blowing on the sides of them but would semi hide the alumina twins, shame they add so much extra bulk, another idea is what Vetalar suggested but keep the the fans in as they are, you could prop up a 120mm fan in front of them & try it out to see if it helps.

So try the above or get a pci-x 2.0 riser or worst case make slimmer twins with slim fans.

 

Hi Waynio,

Like i said in a previous post, the twins are too close, that's why I ordered a pci-e 16x 2.0 riser.

And what do you think about those twins?

See ya!

 

Ah got the solution then , the twins look good mate & would look even better with a mesh on the inside if there is enough room, mesh is usually 1mm thick.

 

+ 1 to the mesh idea. And they do look good otherwise

 

it's a good idea and that will hide fans and the inside...

2 say the same, so you convince me... Thanks

 

+3 for the mesh

 

+4 for the mesh

 

Alright, allright, allright, not evreybody in the same time please... lol

I listen end understood everybody... And thank you!!!

I'll do it soon.

 

+5 for mesh ..... * Ok I take my coat *

 

+ over 9000 for the mesh

 

huhu!!!! I allready count your vote!

huhu too!!! Only one by one! But as i quite like Guille ad Raz, i count your voteS!!! You won!

 

It's a waste of time to search parts to mod!!!

 

outer shell of airfilter of BIG truck provides You nice metal mesh with round holes... or couple dead PSUs with big fans for hexagonal mesh...
and nobody says that modding is easy

 

What are you searching for ? Maybe I can help

 

On car tunning website, on Lerois Marlin, Weber plastiques and so many others... The designs are never what i'm looking for. Other thing, i need a plastic mesh... Easier to glue than alu or metalics stuffs....

 

I know modding is a complicate hobby, i had the same probleme with my RC elecric&fuel cars (modelism). Always looking for the good parts to the good price...

But somtimes, in life, we all want to get faster and easier some stuffs....

 

You can use metalic mesh and use a glue for high temp purpose (used to glue the glass window on oven, it can handle hudreds of °C and can glue everything). It's heat and vibration resistant.



I bought this one at Leroy Merlin @ Châtelet-les-Halles (close to the George Pompidou center)

 

Hi,

ANd plastic mesh? Do you know where I can find it? I'll try to go to EOL Modelism this afternoon.

If you got an idea, i'll take it!

Thanks
