Project : Little Boy *Small Update 09/16*

you should put some fan-guards so others arent tempted to stick their fingers into the fan.

 

Shoot man, put me down for one. I'll take build 2

 

yeh thats sweet man good work

 

With the kind of air flow those fans must be pushing, maybe his comp would deicide to roll off ? Guess teh weight should keep it in place. Very nice work Cecil (this from Tsukhime?)

 

mmm very nice indeed. allthough some fan grills wouldnt go astray. how loud exactly is this thing?? enough to blow your eardrums out or pleasently screaming?

 

Hmm, that looks a lot like something i started on a couple of years ago. But yours, is quite a lot more... attractive.

This.

 

looking good. I like how the finished control panel came out. as for the 1' extension cord, those are available, check www.directron.com or www.cyberguys.com i think. they are marketed for the purpose of plugging those wall-wart connectors into so you don't loose 2 or more plugs on your surge protector.

 

Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it...

Ah..no no...fan grills are nooo good....probably on the rear since thats where all the "sucking" comes from...but not on the front...its your fault if you stick you hand/foot in there....hehe..

Its decently loud...nothing ear shattering..but loud enough...shakes the floor round it also...hehe

Indigoue, looking good! Might I ask why you stopped? Seems like your off to good start...Is that copper, would think that would be expensive? decently big too...what was that originally???

Thanks...I didn't see any 1' extensions...altho i did see the Y VGA splitter...I think I might try that if I can't find anything else...

 

Yeah, I didn't see any 1' extensions either. A direct link would be really awesome I know cyberguys makes 1' power extension cables, is that what you're referring too?

If you're stringing a vga cable through your case (especially stuff like those cheap splitters) make sure that the cable is well away from any other sources of interference. Having an AC cord too close to your vga cable can cause un-due amounts of stress, cause it makes everything look like crap.

Some real good work here, keep it up

 

This is totally kick A$$ on

 

I'm actually looking for VGA extensions that are about a 1' in length...the power cords are no problem...only 3 wires inside those..easy to cut and resolder.....a friend of mine swears they make the VGA extensions..but I have yet to see...we have a pretty good PC warehouse in my area that deals w/ alot of networking and general PC stuff..so I might try there...or...like I said...I may try that Y splitter..

I didn't notice any diff when playing on it at the LAN..so...guess the A/C cords arent causing any problem...

Hehe...happy you like it RR5...once agian, more to come...this is just the beginning..=]

 

they make them because i have one thats around 30cm(12") long and another thats around 1.5m long. im prtty sure you can buy them, someware

Nice work

 

i think you need to make up a grill for that thing, shiny metal spinning fans can be quite mesmorising, and they hurt like a bugger too
(personal experiance) i had a table top fan with the grill off and some how my finger just moved ever closer to it then ZZZZTTT! YEETOW , got a nice little cut by it, if not paint swirls on it like on the hypnotiseing disks, if your lucky one of your competitors will happen to stare at it for a long period of time. bill.... bill?..... bbiiiiillllll?....... wake up dude....... it works! muwhahahahha!

 

Seriously though, it really is your own fault if you get cut by a spinning fan.

Good work so far. I would suggest getting some cable and sodering some extensinos so that the wires wrap completely around the inside of the tube, then sleeve it. The LED fan doesn't look very good in there, and I don't see the purpose...all that air coming in from mega fan #1. MegaFan...thats a good name for the project, right? Little boy is so...deceiving.

But yeah, great work, that control panel is great in there.

 

Natural Selection.

 

they look so innocent and tempting, lol, you want to see if it hurts so, hmm maybe if i put my hand in just a lit...ZZZTTT YEEowww ok yes it hurts, maybe if i tryed it this wa.. zzzttt.. ok that didnt work, mabe if i.....

its called haveing nothing elce to do except cut yourself in a spinning fan. lol but this industrial fan might just do more than scrach you, lol trust me if i was sitting next to him in a lan i probobly would cut my self a few times, out of curiosity.

id prolly have to put a grill on it if i made one, my cat would prolly sleep in the tube, then i would get home and turn it on.... lets say my cat would hate me for weeks. but he got a free buzz cut my mom would come home and say, "why are there chunks of cat fur on the floor?"
"what fur?"
