Case Mod - In Progress Project: Steampunk'd TJ11 DONE!!! October 2012 MOTM Winner!!!

Thanks!

 

Not a huge modding update but I got a bit of cool gear in.

I got a Technofront water cooling test bench and 2x new Koolance flow meter displays. Can't wait to use em!



And its Halloween so the family and I did a bit of pumpkin, I mean gourd carving.



She was very interested... made it kinda hard to carve lol.









All done!




Now not to brag, but my wife makes some damn good looking cookies.


















Now for the real work... I painted the PSU fan.






Here is a picture of the broken FC10 nixie tube.



Now remember that huge vacuum tube I made with a bracket? Well I got the Amber LEDs in and its time to light it up.










Here is what all the cables look like coming from the front I/O panel.




And just some lighting shots.














Cheers till next time,

Fuga

 

wile i understand that copper tubing with scratches is more "aesthetically adequate" - i like shiny polished copper

 

This:



Looks really good

 

Agreed. That si the best light setup for this mod.

Fuga,why don't you use one of pressure meters you bought in your wc loop? It could be nice functional addition to loop. You can buy new temperture meters that look like that and make the look old. And I can easily imagine nice valve one those wc pipes. that would meke cool detail.

 

Awesome. Just awesome.

The cookies look amazing!

 

Those are the best looking cookies I´ve seen!! And the mod looks amazing aswell. Love the warm lighting.

 

Simply stunning.

 

I want one of these cookies !!

The case : just awesome

 

Thanks!

I don't have the right fittings to use the meters.

Thanks!

Lol thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

 

Awesome cookies, awesome mod & for a change I have munchies supply while seeing munchies in a project log so I'm not craving.

 

Please please please tell me where i can get one of these benches

Project is looking good mate, the end is in sight , No?

Rip

 

Haha. I was eating loads of them while modding

No idea. I got it off a trade for a case I reviewed a while back. Someone on OCN said they had one they weren't using. Maybe put up a WTB thread there.

 

No Worries, i did some scouting and found one on performancepcs.com for 170 USD

 

Looks great, but I'll never understand why people will pay ~$200 to water cool their memory and Northbridge: Two of the coolest components in the case.
Having a side intake fan would have been ample.

 

$200? Cost me $80 and its all for looks. 90% of people WC for looks.

If you don't like it, then do cool them. Its your call.

 

Beautifo. I love the amber lighting. I prefer all amber to half amber, half white. I feel like the fully illuminating white light kinda throws off the darker/Steampunkish amber.

But still awesome

 

I was just basing it off the typical $100 per block. $100 is pretty standard for CPU and GPU blocks.

 

Thanks!!

Ya RAM, CPU and Chipset blocks are much cheaper than GPU blocks. Since I didn't have many sponsors for this one, I bought all the blocks used.

 

Well at least low functionality parts have low prices.
