I have come across USB headers from the case that don't fit onto the motherboards header. As for PCI-x, that usually pops it head out on server (Xeon) boards. I have one from the mod i'm busy with, so it would be a touch odd to find it on a "standard" users mobo.
just my 2c worth.

I would tend to agree with UrBaN, to mod a case to the specs you want, you might as well go all in and do a total custom build. Once my Server case is done i'm going to start on a scratch build.

So throw some ideas together in SketchUp, and when in doubt, ask for help.

I had an idea that i have yet to put into effect I'm so sick and tired of having my media and game spread out all over my hard drives that i came up with this idea: I would use two computers in two of the same cases conjoined with hinges down the back for easy maintanence and a clip in front so tha...

Did you take the pencil off before you started spraying, thats what you should have done if you didnt. :wink: Um otherwise, you got just a few HDD's there hey hehhe. Ai, should have thought of that. So either sand everything down to take off the pencil, of work it into the paint job somehow. LOL KB...

Well, started with the yellow coat last night... problem. Why would, after 2 coats grey primer, 3 coats matt black and 2 coat of yellow, pencil marks still come through loud and proud? Anyone have any ideas? Have tried rubbing it out with an eraser, and wet sanding, but nil. Will do a small update t...

shot thanx ett, clear coat going on as soon as i can figure out how and what i'm going to work yellow into the design.

lol!! @Firestrm- variety is the spice of life... he he

here is a shot of the etching done so far


And now just to figure out which ones to use, and how...

So taking on this project with limited time to spare (not that it needs to be done soon, just want it completed). I have sprayed the side panels, and added shadowing to the etching. The biggest thing done so far was to realise that I can't mod in such a clutter. so behold my before and after of my m...

Cant you just stick this in photoshop and hit resize>enlarge? Basically it is just a redraw of a logo. And as I said my design pc is down, so the high res copies with it. All I have left of it is a .bmp image that was mailed. And as maxxis said. a vector would be great, but i'm not picky. It is bei...

Well this is the .bmp I have.

Hi

I'm in need of some help. A mate needs a logo to be done in higher res. Can anyone help me quick?? It's a very basic thing. And to add to my frustration, my "design" pc is fried. Pretty please anyone.

K, well have gone with the shading idea. Tested it on another etch. Will post pics. Looks good to me. As for the sketchup... i will have to redo it. If you refer to my post in the "hardware" section, the main part has gone with my laptop. Luckly had the measurements and general idea on pap...

Pledged...

external monitor... nil. ai!!! How do you guys rate the MacBook's ? they anygood? Gaming, Graphic Design and movie watching the main things.

Maybe just scrap my HP and use the working part of a mod or 2.

K, well... checked (again). There are only two slots under the laptop. Stripped the whole thing down. All back together. Checked connectors and such.
Good News: No more beeps
Bad News: Still have no visuals.

So me thinks that the GPU has had better days... damnit!

@schase - Indeed. Dell's work with the mem under keyboard layout. HP generally have double slotted SIMM holders under. So in short. Yes all memory was removed. Thinking of removing the CMOS battery, but don't think the PT is going to be worth it. Thinking that I should maybe cross over to DELL. lot ...

@Lancelot - thanx. will check fans.

@Firestrm - i thought of that, but the warrenty is only one year, and the place is in rustenburg (250km) away. Was hoping that there is something I could check for. I also think mobo, but secretly hoping not....

Hi All... Thought i would take a sing and ask here, cause HP is giving me no joy. I have an HP Pavilion DV6145eu (well had). After loads of asking HP, and google'ng, I still have a nice shiney paperweight. Prob is. Start up die laptop, blank screen and 3 beeps from the system speakers. Now what I ha...
