Rippers Green Ghost AKA Black Void (updated 13 July 08)
Hetre is My mod so far.
I still have some cables to sleeve and have to buy round IDE Cables. im using FLexiglow extreme Neon CCFL's and a Speeze Owlstreme cooler with a Vantec spectrum UV Fan and and a Zalman NB cooler model ZM-NB47J.
I made my own bay bus. The black switch controls the lights and the small thingies next to it are Reostats that adjust the line input on the left and right channels on the line input next to them. I still have to spray my case on the outisde and inside, and fitted knobs to the reostats.
I'm trying to achieve the biohazard/toxic waste spill and so im thinking of fitting EL wire round the base underneath. Any suggestions about fitting windows.
I'm holding off on the spray paint because I'm supposed to be getting a super tower Case.
You cant really See the glow in the Dark affect with a Camera.
Any suggestions?

hi here is a photo of my almost finshed baybus. i just have to make another audio connector-this time to take sound directly from the cdrom drive.
ive started sanding my case but im kind of stuck at the moment. the areas where ive snaded of the paint and polished up the steel look really nice. should i leave it as bare polished steel with the silver look or should i slap primer(coast coat) onto the bare metal and spray it black and top it off with clear laquer.

funny you should say that. i have another computer with an identical drives and the cd burner doesn't work properly. it disconnects itself (as in it ceases to apear under device manager) and crashes the computer. plus it wrote off most of the cd's i used in it.
hp made good cd writers. but they had crap burning programs

Nice work ripper...But greens not my colour unfortunately!
OFF topic reply to NEale...
I've had the 7000 series of that writer, it was my first ever...it was 2 speed and i paid like R2000 for it! I'd actually never go back to it! At the time, it was not compatible with any cloning prog, I dunno about now!
I sold it last year at a loss of R1900...It took me sometimes 1 hour to write 1 cd...sometimes it fails! There goes the whole hour!
Back to topic!

here are more pics of my case. just cut a winodw in the side opanle with lots of help from my dad and sprayed it black.
the paint needs to harden before i put the panels back on my case. do i need to put clear laquer over the black.
i am going to order a biohazard applique from the modshop.co.za to go on my window.
im thinking of making the perspex extend behind the fan so hat the fan hole glows.
what the best way to spray the inside of a case. does it also need primer?and what parts should i spray

nice neat work there...I Think the outside parts will need a lacquer, otherwise it'll scratch very easily... Also if you're sprayong the inside, Primer will be best, But i dunno if its going to be worth it to spray the inside...
Because its hot inside and paint may peel, but if you do then i think you should use primer, just for the heat reason....wWoWw!

Has anybody ever tested the air temperature inside their box? If anybody did then they will have realized the temperature dont actually rise much higher than their MOBO. SOOOOO, If paint starts to peal at say, 50C then you bought some seriously CRAP paint of probably zimbabwean decent manufactured in Bob's garden shed and mixed with Bob's bath water... The only reason paint would peel in your box is if you didn't do the right preparations. So if you do that right then you shouldn't have any problems.
BTW dude your case is coming together very well. Looking forward to see the finished box.

True True, ssafest bet is to buy engen enamel spray paint. It can take the heat and is R6 moreSamaya wrote:Has anybody ever tested the air temperature inside their box?

i think i will use black coast coat then to paint the inside. i was thinking of making the inside dark green even or using flourescent spray paint but i think i will have to leave the inside until i have a bit more cash.
coast coat has a heat range of 250C and metcoat which they use on fireplaces has a heat range of up to 300 degrees i think.
hammerite is the most durable paint though but it has special painting requirements.
i still have to fit a window. ive decided to laquer my case. waas looking through my pc formats today and i couldn't decide what to do with the inside.
anyone know hwat plastic world charge for a 1m2 perspex 2 mm thick
having looked at others mods some of them left the inside bare while others polished it up and others painted it.
i think black with green lighting will look best.
thanx everyone for your help so far. will post some more pics soon

hi here are more pics. i apologise for those with low bandwidth.
i will reduce the size tommorw nite.
my pc goes in sometime after 8 this morning to have the graphics card checked. i suspect it is faulty. in which caase they will replace it.
in ythe meantime i have been lacquering it. i ran out on the top piece so the sides have not yet been done. but the paint is hard and doesn't scratch easily.
enjoy
