Combine Ceiling Turret: video card output box - update 10/05/12

Switch over to to a video cart output box, this part:


The front of the box rounded shape, for it has used aluminum furniture leg diameter of 40mm:


Dismantled, prepared for cutting:


By the way, how to mark a longitudinal line of cut (in a sense parallel to each other and the axis of the cylinder)? Found the way - put angle:


A little hacksaw work:


That’s all for a while.

 

Coming together nicely!

Combine Ceiling Turret: CPU cooler mod - update 22/09/12

For some reasons have to replace CPU cooler by the low-profile Cooler Master Gemini II M4:


Despite the fact that is the lowest Cooler Master cooler, I have to modify it.
First, remove the fan, and then gave it a trapezoidal shape:


In rotate position heat pipes run into the capacitors and the cooler base not in contact to processor




Need to raise the cooler on the heat sink:




Tinkering heat sink and heat pipes, a second attempt




To warm up the heat pipes cooler is placed in a container with boiling water on the gas stove


Heat sink roasting


Cooler assembled


Modified CM Gemini II M4 tests on OCCT v.3.1.0:
With stock fan - better then original!


Passive –fail (even without load):


With Titan TTC SC-04 blower


That’s my choice:

 

Awesome to see you back have been hoping the project did not die

 

Combine Ceiling Turret: blower mod - update 16/10/12

Titan’s blower need to be modified - have to reduce its length and cut through inlets for intake air.


Disassembly and cutting:










Going back. Reposition the motor stator:


Approximate position in DVD-box:


Air inlet:

 

Great work. I can't wait to see it on the ceiling.

5 star for you.

 

Nice work on the cooler Mindphaser.

 

Great work. If I had tried to modify that cooler, it would have ended badly.

 

^ Trying to fix my direct heat pipe cooler did end up badly for me.
