i know here in the states, we at best buy carry em.

 

Thanks

height: 58cm diameter: 35cm

I understand ur fear.. I liked chrome but it didn't look good with all the other part and cutting.. I should have used chromed bin for a minimalist mod..
Hopefully there is enough original (at least 'less typical') ideas to compensate the rust-fashion

it's an idea to use a pc-mp3-player like a jukebox, with 10 to 20switches with ur favorites playlists (techno, love songs, ...)

I told them that I would recontact them when mod is near end, so hope they will like the new

what do u mean ? where did I brought it ?

 

01.Update : Vumeter

here is the pic of the kit I used


kit soldered a few month ago, I will change the orange keds for green/yellow/red transparent ones


I added connectors to mount everything easily


with metallic led supports


real test


we can see on the upper pic the new add: 2.1 speakers to appreciate the sound


mounted in the case.. pics doesn't look good but the vumeter add a classy touch, I will add vumeters in all

my next mods..


on the top of the galvanometer we can see my initial in order that no-one mistake my pc for his own

 

Intresting, will see how it turns out.

 

i agree

 

02.Update : External power part

homemade extension,
- black plug that got an industrial look
- 'universal' cable, this kind of cable looks old for me because the only objects I've seen with cables sheathed of fabric are the old irons



classic electric box


but, surprise, the backside is more interesting, full of signs and shapes
on the right a circuit breaker


cable added


I cut out the hole for the circuit breaker, and attached the box with cap nuts


cut out to insert the bulky back of the circuit breaker, sheath that will be inserted in the box


attached box, black primer paint for the plastic box


gray painting, added cable and the electric sticker. on the top first rust test directly on case, cable dirtied with clay and bicycle chain's grease but I must continue to dirty it


I used plumbing things to make the storing of the cable


interior view, with the connector to use the circuit breaker



futures completions:
- iron/rust painting
- to age sticker electric, circuit breaker
- to continue to dirty the cable
- maybe add indications "AC POWER 230-250V" on the low corner right of the electric box

 

where do you found this triangular electric sticker ?????? what is the size ??
pilouuuuuuuux pour ta grille

 

Yeah thats what i mean.

 

on my local computer shop, but it's available on online-shop, depends of ur country

conrad.fr, 25mm, already talked about it with piloux but he needs 36mm stickers

 

I'm liking this mod so far, has a unique feel to it. Can't wait to see your future plans

 

03.Update : Fanbus

this fanbus (lien constructeur ZM-mfc1) is easy to disassemble


tears off what I don't want: leds, switches 5v/0/12v


plastic cover used as a guide to drill holes


done !


in order to know what's what, I used key-rings.. they twist easily to go with the roundness of the case


with temporary painting

key-rings idea was originally for the jukebox part

futures completions:
- iron/rust painting
- stickers to indicate what's what: psu, cpu, intake & outtake (for 2 fans at the top of the case)

 

My god this was uber!


Would you be upset if I copied this, and used it on my case?

 

go go go ! I would be upset only if u dun post a pic of ur version of this idea in ur worklog

 

Don't raise your expentations too high! First I will have too see if I can find one. But one question: does the circuit breaker serv as the on/off button for the coumputer, or as the on/off button for the powersupply?

 

damn i was going to do somthing to that effect, *meh* you did it first you win *frowns*

 

I wonder what the id-tags are going to be used for?

 

- stickers to indicate what's what: psu, cpu, intake & outtake (for 2 fans at the top of the case)
he wrote it (read the whole thing)

 

i'm geussing he is going to have lights behind them so that it shows shich fans are on and which are not or probly somthing to that extent, or HDD and CPU moniter lights behind them, the possiblities are endless

 

on/off button for the power supply

 

Ahh, now I see it. Thanks.
