Case Mod - In Progress Project: Placebo -|- On ice for a while. Sketching on 2 new projects.

Welcome - To my Project Placebo!


The mod is a tribute to the best band in the world. Placebo! Ty for a great show in London in december! Hope to see another show soon!




(Placebos Homepage).



Placebo has released two new pics of the band.



In the middle is the singer Brian Molko. He has turned evil it seems! He has stolen Frodos cloths

...You love the song but not the singer...

...She's a bitch with broken arms to wave...

...Since I was born I started to decay...

...Forbidden snowflake...

...Carve your name into my arm...

...A product of a broken home...

...Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die...

...Protège Moi...

...Leave me dreaming on the bed...

...blessed with lucky 7s...

...We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye...



Feel free to listen to this great song while watching!

Temp rig. Freeing up the chassi to be modded

Ghetto mod to free up the chassi!



Ok, now that the store has plexi I am very happy
Will call tomrrow when I know how much I need to buy

Here is some pics of me moving my system



My best system is not going into the modded chassi but a new that I havent bought yet (yes I will mod it later aswell & post here)

In this chassi Project: Placebo I will place my old system. Amd 2800+ with 1gb ddr & gainward 5700 ultra gs.



New system going into incoming chassi.




My Lian Li PC-6077 stripped & my some of my hdd's.




After some 2-3 years the rubber has dried out :S




Temp rig for my 4000+ (This computer that I am using now So it's working) An old chassi I modded some 3-4 years ago Painted & a little hinge on the side Fast access inside




Well had some problems getting the massive CPU-Fan inside :S ... ... ...




Problems solved after a few minutes of squeezing in a vice



Ok thats all for now A bit(-tech) ghetto But since I dont use that chassi & will probably send it to recycling later on I dont care about it


/dira​

 

I will post some work I have done on the plexi soon.

For now I can only show what I had some fun playing with today



Cheers! See you back soon!

 

wtf is with all of these guys in bands think eyeliner is cool? if you want to look like a woman get a sex change >=|

but anways looks good, the plexi looks good. Is that a 9500 or a 9700 cpu cooler? any other plans for the case?

 

Well I dont care if they use eyeline or not. They still rock

About the cooler it's the Zalman CNPS9500. But thats not the one going into this system. This will be more like a server/gf pc Waiting for my Lian-Li PC-A05B for my 4k+ system.

About other plans. There is a list up there in the first post You can check it to see what I am doing right now

Cheers!

Finding out how the plexi works

Finding out how the plexi works!



Ok I wanted to check some stuff. Cutting, sandpaper, heat, bend and some more

So I thought Why not make a thingy that can hold my mobilephone




Tools used





Workin with wellpapp for a model. Looking ok.





Fitting my k700i inside.





Auto-Cad drawing. Very simple. Byt does the trick!





After some 30-40 minutes of cutting, sandpapering, heating bending, heating rebending, putting it in the freezer.





From the side with my well used k700 Still has all I need that mobilephone. I can call, sms, mms & controll my computer with bluetooth





Front shot. Can now have it standing on my desk instead of just lieing there





Cheers! Post thoughts! Will be start workin on the plexi for my case tomorrow!

Locate fan connector.





Compare the converter with the old fan-connector.





Put the new connector in:





Stripe up!





Connector btw the blades.





Found some fan-screws with rubber-silencing. Didnt new I owned those ;D





Better be safe then sorry ;D





Making it start w/o a MB.
