Case Mod - In Progress Project : CopperHead: 6/4/09 Orange:

So is your real image in one of those pics? I looked, but couldn't make out anything.

I'm hanging out for a while in a nursing home while my foot gets better, but I can still type.

Those pics of the back IO plate almost made me faint. Just be sure to not go overboard on the copper. Too much is not to good, IMHO. However, I am eagerly awaiting the continuing updates on this very nice project.

 

I will try to achieve a good balance TN, I promise..
I am not the man I was years in back, my agenda for Saturday :
cash pay check
purchase groceries
cut the grass

Thrilling stuff..

I did accomplish a bit of work today (Friday night) more shiny copper cutting/drilling..
I hope to continue work Saturday night and post-up perhaps- Monday..

have a great weekend one and all..

 

Thought you might be interested in the new AC copper hard drive coolers. Little bit of work with some copper plate and it could be all copper except the plexi thread connectors.

 

Now that's a nice water block.

 

Beautiful mod.

 

MORE!

 

I thought so as well. When I get home I'm ordering three of them!

 

Do a test run on that lacquer first. For me, the lacquer coat made brushed copper look like a crayon.

 

More copper:

You mean on the waterblocks?
MY can of Copper Shield has been used on the other copper-parts I cut with great results. They don't list a temp-range so no plans on using it on the waterblocks..
What I have been working on:

new copper skid plate for the Eheim 1046 pump in it's (defunct)(chrome plated) Aqua-Computer full metal jacket:

I just can't get enough copper now. What have you done to me? LOL

As always the copper pieces look fantastic.

Thanks guys.. and thanks for following along.. @ boy4 and sni9 :: "copper is cool"..... (IMHO).....
I have four more holes to drill (in the case) and I will post a few pictures of those copper plates installed by the end of the week.
NO ACTION THIS WEEKEND..... I have a major-league party on-tap, the weekend is booked-solid. Birthday party, she is going to be (8).. I will let your minds-eye envision what I am in for...

Worried, and then suddenly relieved

 

I can't wait to see all the copper in place . Good luck with the Birthday .

 

Accepting, then suddenly worried. What else were you planning to drill?

 

Well I think he was prepareing for what E.E.L or Cheaps would of said if he had 4 holes to drill and didn't say where, or whom.. ..

But anyway, the plate looks awesome and I love the copper on the rad.

 

it's only wednesday ...or have I missed something
