Thanks very much for the advice! I'd be interested what you do with your cube so email me when you start. I can't even get a job! Laws.... Only reason I'd want an LCD is to build into my case. With such a behemoth (love that word) of a pc it's gonna be hard enough to transport so a built in monitor would take some of the weight off.
I don't know of a plexi supplier in UK...I live in the US. Check out this thread though, should help you out Personally, I just go to Home Depot and pick up some plexi (not sure if HD is in UK)...even if its cheaper ordering online, I'm not the patient!
No sorry we don't have home depot but I did find this site: Perspex Thanks for the help! PS Work starts thursday when I take all the gear into school.
hey, i liek the sound of this mod. i know what u mean on a budget, it sucks. ive sorta went for a blue theme but not on the uv side. i suggest getting UV plexiglass and UV window etches.
Thanks for the feedback. You can get UV plexi!? Seriously!? Can you link me to somewhere? (actually i'll lol) Another idea: I'm gonna get one of the front drive bay bezels and cut out a word or something in it then put frosted plexi behind as well as a lazer led. how cool would that look?? Feedback always appreciated.
Patience! Yea sorry no pics yet because work hasn't started! I asked the teacher at school when I could bring all my stuff in and start on the mod and he said thursday so that'll be when it starts. But please be patient i'm not about to go rushing in and mess it all up. This has cost me money so i want to make a good job of it. -Nathan
Oh yea I see what you mean. The X's Sorry I moved my stuff off the server this morning to put a school IT Project on there Pics will be back online in five mins. ::edit:: pics are now online sorry for the delay ::edit::
hmmm i like were this ideas going... i soda despencer in your computer! "presses a clear blue button on his comp" "buzzes for a second" "a soda drops" "he lifts a sliding cover and takes out his soda" i like the sound of that hmmm mebe il have to do that sorry for the thread highjack your mods awsome cant wait till it starts (im suscribing to this one)
Thanks for the feedback! Yea that would be pretty cool, i'll have to look into cooling options. -Nathan PS Cases are at school now, work should begin tomorrow.
if ur serious about getting a soda vendor in ur comp, first get some material that holds in cold. then guy one of them mini-parrty fridges and get one of those spiral coils that u see in vending matchines hook it up fill it with soda and ur ready for 24 hour lan partyin
thanks for that i'll look into it but it might be too ambitious. i'm concentrating on getting my lcd for in the side at the moment. -Nathan
Hey guys! -Minor Update- OK work is going to start slightly later than planned, i.e this week, because of loads of unforeseen school projects but i've been planning some mods so it's for the best! Idea: -Nathan
dont you just hate them unforeseen projects. they can relly mess up your day. its lookin good man keep up the good work! cant wait till you get that thing together.
lol yea it is annoying. and yea i am really excited! got slightly annoyed when the teacher i was explaining it to started laughing but he'll change his tune when i'm the one in charge of the band saw! hehe
what u gonna use for the outer caseing plexi? or are you going to paint it. i thing wiht them led fans getting uv reactive plexi and replaceing the plastic will give it a very nice look! hope your teacher stops with those random projects good luck! (dont cut your finger off with the band saw its happened to too many people i know!)
Yea sorry i'm a bit confused to be honest. OK here's how it stands: Side of case with hardware in: Full side window (maybe UV plexi dont know yet) with UV fan and fan grill. Side of case with gadgets in: Half side window (top half of side panel) Bottom half taken up by draws for cables and other stuff & network switch. Maybe TFT (could be after my birthday in april because of lack of money) hinged at the back so it swings out to be perpendicular to the case. If you need more explanation then please just ask and I'll make some more images in photoshop -Nathan PS : I will be careful I like having fingers lol
now that i finnaly understand what its gonna look like a bit theres alota possabilities in it im thinking about makeing a plexi cube, but the $$$ is short so i have to wait till im 14 (11 more days ) to get a job. btw what guts are u gonna put in ur project!
A plexi cube sounds cool go for it! Anyway the guts: AMD Athlon XP2000+ Jetway motherboard 80gig seagate barracuda hdd (running win xp) 40gig other hdd (storage & backup drive) DVD-ROM drive CD-RW drive Floppy drive SiS 900 NIC USB 2 pci card GeForce FX5200 120MB GPU I'll have a look inside the pc in a minute and see if there's anything i've missed. ::edit:: nope that's everything, pretty ordinary but it's fast for gaming ::edit:: -Nathan
Sorry for work starting so late but i've been so busy at school However work HAS now started. Bad news is i've got a half-term holiday so no modding for a week. ADVICE NEEDED! OK i have two 300W psus that i want to hook up to power the gizmos but both need to be started up when the pc boots. the power switch goes to the mobo and this switches the psu on so how would i connect two psus to the motherboard??????????? Thanks -Nathan
