    I would like my modder friend's help here. I would like to use an ASUS Xonar D2X but theres an orange light inside which it will come in contrast with the rest of the mod. Is there anyone out there who can help me change that light somehow please? Thanks!

    There probably just SMD leds, you would have to de-solder them and solder on some new ones, which could be tricky depending on what other components are around the LEDs.

    Dude, the camera's not crazy! You are :D Silver leaf logo looks fantastic, as well as the rest of the picts of goodies. I need to have certain things look a certain way which means more modding. Hope you won't mind a PM about specifics? You just kicked a big door down for me! WOW !

    The logo turned out great. The motherboard also looks great with its blocks installed, really nice kit you have there.

    Basically is almost the same with 920, the other cpus on that series costs way more which I couldnt afford it but with some overclocking it will be good I think ;)

    Back for one more update, I did a lot of work but I will post my work later on in upcoming updates .
    I will begin with some packages I received, old and new.
    First some things I ordered.
    LG Blu Ray Writer, Intel Core i7 930 and 2X Western Digital 500GB Sata6 hard drives

    Reinforcements arrived from Mr.Nills at MurderMod and Aquatuning.
    A lot of cable management clips (new series), connectors in black, pins for ATX, some watercooling bits I needed and silver sleeving!!

    [​IMG]

    Now I will show you some work I did in association with my friend Masbuskado from NewModCity! I wanted to do some stickers - logos for Corsair's ram, airflow and psu.
    So Masbuskado was the best for that kind of job. He is a fantastic modder and also a web and graphic designer!

    If you want custom logos, any graphic job or even a website send me a PM and I will get you in contact with one of the best!

    [​IMG]

    Here you can see his creation, I just told him my idea and immediately he created that awesome logo!

    [​IMG]

    First I tried to make some stickers but later on I decided to use a high glossy paper and glue it my self for the reasons you can see here:

    [​IMG]

    So I printed and cut the desired logos in the right length and width, got my "tools" ready and with some patience I got the job done!

    I also redid the Power Supply. As you can see I canceled the 2 PCI express cables because I am going to use the modular cables for that. I also did the sleeving again with some silver addition and also sleeved the 8pin mobo cable. Here are some pictures:

    Here are the ram

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Also as you can see I used some paint remover to change the color on the ram heatsinks. I might leave them as they are now after the remover (silver) Will see!

    [​IMG]

    More on that in an upcoming update. As I did a lot of work I will update every day or two.
    Thanks for reading my work and commenting! Peace!


    A special thanks to my sponsors:

    Your starting to sound more and more like a brand. Maybe that is the whole idea, free pr, to make custom modding as a living?

    Thats the first thought that popped up in my head. You go girl!:rock:
