Hello bit-tech I post here for the first time one of my mod, called : Final Gallery : First, if you have the feelings that's it's a 4 years old child who speak it's normal because i'm french and my english is very approximate Also I want to specialy thanks my sponsors - Prolimatech who gave me their support with their Samuel 17 CPU cooler please visit : www.prolimatech.com - Linitx also join my project by sending me a great picoPSU with an AC/DC adapter. Thansk a lot Chris for all your advice ! (If you want to create your own tiny computer or your car pc, this is THE adress ) please visit : www.linitx.com - Kingston also accepted to join my project by sending me one of their high performance SSD : the HyperX 120Gb and one ram kit 2x2Gb HyperX Genesis www.kingston.com This project is based on the Apple Cube, some photos of mine I won on eBay As you can see, the cube is scratched, so the external design gonna change a lot to hide these scratches That's all, next post i'll show you the disassembly of the cube
The MB tray : the bottom of the case I create a paper MB of mine to make all the modifications I need. And I'll use the bottom of my FD Array case to create the MB tray Ok so now let do some some cutting We fix the paper MB set in the cube drilling and checking
I continue with the hdd support, on the back of the MB tray the cut lines cutting bending the HDD ready (@1080p haha ... ) the mb (the real !) fix on their tray and here ... the position of the IO Panel is'nt aligned with the I/O of the MB ... I can't use a "normal" IO panel, because the "normal" positon is always a little more outside than the mb, i think i'm gonna create my own panel and the HDD on the back one overview That's it !
Oh that looks really cool. Are you planning on sticking with the stock cooler just minus fan or are you heading down the 3rd party route?
I try with google traduction to understand your message but I think google isn't enough geek I'm not sure it will answer your question but i'll install the Samuel 17 fanless on my i5-760 @i3-540. If i can i'll put a slim 120mm fan, but I must be careful with the future position of the slim slot-in. Good answer ?
Awesome job - I'm liking this a lot. I've got a Apple cube that I've wanted to mod for quite a while, so I'm watching this one with interest for sure!!
Hello everybody, first, thanks a lot for your posts, I realy appreciate ! @NoobNeb: about the 7750, I think this card is too powerfull for a htpc (I must be carreful with the consumptuion) and if I can I prefer a single slot card for the space. I plan to use a GT430 or GT520, but if you have any other idea for the card please let me know !! @John: sorry for your lost, I wouldn't be in your shoes
