Project: Chrome Dragon? *UPDATE* DONE!! NEW PIX!

Should i buy this

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-478&depa=1

ASUS "A7N8X-E Deluxe" and a locked 2500 barton (my friend got over 2.3 ghz with it)

for 100? i have around 60-70 bucks

should i get it? (not for this pc but for another pc, htpc or somethin)

 

woot cut my finger!! also my switches work i just had to use them on my blue storm rather than my crap raidmax

Home made cast







the pics suck though

i was running the 120mm deltas and one of them started moving at 12v and it fell off the table i cut it and slice lol

edit: also should i just use the power switch leds as the power led, or also use the original power led (but switch it with a blue or white?)

and then have my hdd light the other color?

 

I'm now glad that you apparently suck at macro mode... thats nasty.

 

*UPDATE*

i made my bay cover holes for my switches (the big ones are for my ccfl rockers)



made my lcd mount or well made a starter hole o and i epoxied screws to the inside


all done, just waiting till tomorow since i had to rebondo some parts, then ill glue it with epoxy!


switches up close


i gotta fix my leds so there not in the pic

thats what the bezel should look like


but i think im gonna put the fan controller at the very bottom unless i cant

thats all for now

also pic a a64 system that would be good for ocing thats around <$230

i need one

Hi man.... loving the project so far

if you REALLY want to polish that side panel, there should be something called "metalix" (thats what its called here in the UK) which can actually be polished like real metal, and is as strong as metal...

its made by "david's isopon's" or something, will try to get you more details on it tomorrow...

take care man, ive never liked those delta fans for their ability to hack off fingers!

 

Man that cut on your finger rocks Heh.. just messin with ya, the rest is looking pretty cool so far, I think this will turn out pretty good. Btw.. nice fish blanket haha

 

the blanket is awsome sauce

 

Modding inguries sucks! hope you can use your finger propertly in some form..

I can see something great coming out of this! looking forward for more!

 

*UPDATE*

kk i made underglows







wiring sucks but ya ill figure it out later

ive dECided not to take the time right now to put leds in my 120mm fans, i can always do that later so iM just gonna skip it for now

Also i dunno if im gonna make the switch for the psone lcd, since i have no were to mount it, but lucky for me i bought a cord that has a sWITch on it already (the rolly switches like on night lights and stuff you know?)

so ya ill just uSE Thati guess

and i took the tape off the top OF MY case



i havent seen it without tape since february 12 or so!! lol

and ya i took it off



as of now the pieces are all drying because i sprayed it with my hose to get out all the metal dust thats inside the case since i started modding and havent vacuumed out, its gonna be ready to paint in a day or 2 (inside at least)

all for now

i just need to find the right mobo and cpu now


ok acutally i can mount the switch on the bezel, the same side as my usB ports! it should look nICE. I have a few questions, the ROCker switch has 2 prongs, does it matter which wire goes to which? or it dont matter?

and also where should i hide THE ac adapter? at the top of the cae above the 92mm fan or under my ps1 adapter?

 

looking good....shame about the finger, bet that stings a little

Keep it up....

 

auwch, looks like that hurt man.

anyway, looking good so far, gonna check this thread often to see your progress!

 

well it doesnt hurt too much, i have it covered (probly why its not sealing since its not getting any air or somethin)

but ya i gotta keep it covered cuz if somethin hits it (in pe) itll bleed like a mofo

 

*update*

k i primed the case so it should be ready for painting (doing the inside) tomorow depending on if im busy or not



all for now

 

*UPDATE*

painted it yoz



gonna put on some clear coat tomorow i guess

man i suck at painting, i used 1 whole can on the case itself and another can on the the side panels and hdd racks, pci covers and all that

 

Wow... id consider you lucky! most the time i have to use 2 to 4 cans of paint for the insides alone!!!

clearcoat will make it shine nicely

looking good mate

 

*UPDATE*

kk i finally finished my lcd mount, i had to sand it and rebondo it at least 5 times im just glad its over







can someone help me with my lcd switch? i tried measuring one of the prongs on the adapter (that go into the wall) to the dc plug and it would sense no connection, tried the other prong same thing, wtf? im gonna add the switch like today or somethin but ya HELP!

 

Can't help you with the lcd cause I r nublet

But nice looking mod man.. it's looking sweet.

Btw what are you going to play on your lcd screen? Movies?

 

thanx, im just gonna show my winamp visualazations and stuff cuz watching a movie and playing games at the same time will slow my games down

 

You can't seriously follow a movie and play half-life2 can you?

 

LOL, I can't even follow a movie or play half-life 2 when i have my whole attention on it.
