Case Mod - In Progress Project GT500 Mod 09 mom nomination!!!!

hi all

well i wasnt to happy with the way that the sleeving turned out before, so i decided to so a little bit this evening while girlsfriend was watching tv. and i think this is way better.





granted i'm not looking forward to doing the 24 pin one!!! now just to order a load more i think

till next time!!

 

dvd caddy

hey all

well initially i was concerned where i would put this slot loading drive as there will not be enough room in the front drive bays as that is where all my cooling equipment will be housed. so i thought about maybe putting it on the side of this in some sort of caddy,

so this morning i quickly knocked this up out of an bit of orane acrylic



and here it is on the side, not fully mounted yet tho



just have to either resize the mounting holes on the drive now

cheers

 

th drive caddy is looking good, am looking forward to seeing the doors on this mod

 

frontage

afternoon all

well had a bad start to week as been pretty rough nd had funeral to go to bad managed to get some stuff done today not much but at least its something

started workin on the front again and pruchased a detail sander which has made life a little easyier with the front intake ducts still not perfect but getting there. also decided to make the front drive cover ut of acrylic as cant afford to get one custom made just yet.





and with the crome mesh in between



anyways my cable braiding should be arriving tomorrow so nice long day doing that!!

till next time

 

Very very nice! Love this thing!
Just happy that it's not ME who's going to sand those round channels down...
Hate sanding...

 

Wow, good idea the overall theme of this mod!
Now I take out from my microwave oven some popcorn and sit down on my sofa to see the next update

 

cheers guys much apprichiated

but on a down note think i just killed my psu!!! went to test after sleeving the 24pin and now just makes a clicking noise gutted if buggered as cant afford to buy another!!

 

Mmm, I have had the same trouble with my Enermax Liberty, I've changed it...
Hope that your psu is not broken...

 

yeah read a lot of people have had this happen......................................... but im a bit stupid in my haste to get it done i rewired the pins wrong...blame my girlfriend for having the day of distracting me. still think there's a dodgy connecting as it keeps reving up and slowing down then reving back up again. but that is fixable!!!

 

thought id show a quick vid of psu problem




cheers

 

Did your psu had drugs?

 

drugs lol you still have warranty on it ??

 

In the video you can see that the warranty sticker is broken...
A little tip : when you plan to do similar works, heat the sticker with a phon...

 

And as i think system don't want to start too ?

 

yeah should have thought about warranty stick my bad!!! really odd tho. got thread going in tech support about this now!

ninja edit!!! should have thought about just jumpin psu with paper clip! works fine. can be so quick to jump to a conclusion some times agh well. guess ing that the mobo just dont like the it

 

go go gadget gull wings!!!

hi all


well today has been a productive day considering ive only been home for an 2hours in my lunch break i managed to get a few things done

PRE WArning! i need new metal file so if things seem a bit off dont worry!

ok well i started off by knocking up some supports for the gull wing doors today, these will be made out of steel or aluminium if time allows



and finally got the new blum hinges



and fitted







i havent fitted to doors just yet as i need to make sure everything is 100% straight and level. last thing i need is a wonky door!

but did hold in place to give you all an idea off what i looks like. also when i have another set of hands about i'll take a shot of both doors





i also managed to mark and cut out the slot for the dvd drive today as well





showing mounted now (ignore the huge bolt sticking out)



anf when conceled



still plenty to get sorted out but day off tuesday and weds so should get few things done then. want to get the power switch and dvd slot cut in front facia and finish sleeving psu.

 

Hope those doors have a quick release. Looks like it's going to be a bitch to work on if not.

 

Or he could just flip the case on its side and be done with it. I don't see any need to work on the internals of my rig when it's upright and in action.

 

The gull wings are awesome

 

cheers for responses guys.

can understand how you think it'll be a pain to work with but when i do need to work with it will be at chest level so not to worried but it. plus they'll have a latch like a car bonnet to hold it open.

anyway till next time
