Project: Supanaut (The PSU has blown and I had to replace)

Samaya · Post by **Samaya** » 30 Jan 2007, 12:25

I have been trying to find a name for my mod in recent months but just could not come up with something. But alas today I have conjured up a respectable, awe inspiring and just plain ground breaking name for the mod!!! How cool is that? Finally I can give my mod a decent title. :lookround: I'm calling it Supanaut Originally sang by Black Sabbath.

Progress is hampered by my depressing rig at the moment. I can't afford to get a new machine to put inside this mod and thus I don't feel like doing a mod which will have CRAP hardware inside. So if anyone is willing to sponsor me a MoBo, CPU and Ram I don't know how long I am going to take to finish this...

Hey, Dude, keep the faith!

Even if it takes a year to finish it - which, btw, is how long it is going to take me - you are going to have an awesome machine

I am probably the last person who would ever say this, but it is all about positive thinking and having a positive attitude, that will bring success

There's nothing wrong with a mod taking a year (or more)

Samaya · Post by **Samaya** » 14 Feb 2007, 10:43

Its already been a year and a couple of months. And was planned as part of the new PC that was supposed to be built into this box. But I won't stop the modding of this box it is too much fun to do it. I just don't see the point of doing the mod if the Hardware I have isn't very good anymore.

Dude your mod is looking frigging awesome, don't fret if it takes a long time to finish or before you can get your hardware.

I understand how you feel(i think), i have been waiting nearly a year to build a better PC, and now it looks like i'll have to wiat another year...

don't stop the modding, you inspire everyone else.

This is exactly my situation. But thanks for the positive thoughts.

Prime · Post by **Prime** » 15 Feb 2007, 10:15

i sympathise. in the mean time, work on your mod so that it will be ready for your new PC

unless of course the form factor changes

Samaya · Post by **Samaya** » 15 Feb 2007, 21:10

Ok well I took your advise... I sommer feel alot better

I did a couple of things tonight. I started on the second HDD bracket and fitted a special power connector.

Starting off. I cut the perspex the good old way, with a hack saw

So now I have two of these

And done. I still have to make the bottom part of this bracket. I'll do that next time

So The I decided to fit this little bugger for power. Its a power socket with a power filter attached. So now my PC will permanent supply of clean power.

From the top

This is where I am fitting it

Rough cut...

Almost finished after this a just filed and made the hole the exact size

I have to admit though making that hole is easier with my this toy...
If there is any tool I'd recommend after a dremmel, it would be this one. Filing made easy and chop-chop

And there you go, fitted

From the inside

And then the final back side shot

What you think?
