Name update: Juke ³ (JukeCubed...)

Hi there guys and girls,I have always wanted to build my own little jukebox - so now I have the guts to do it....
I am basically going to built a "box out of mirrors and glass, and fit a PSU+ CDROM onto it, with a bunch of LED's UV reactive paint etc etc.
Now... here comes the big question: How easy is it to drill into mirror and glass ??

WOW...im sure its extremely hard as it would crack easily...but with the right equipment its possible.
Nice idea and good luck!

Well, if i'm not mistaken, you actually get drill bits that are specifically for glass, and using those bits you'd be LESS likely to brake or crack the glass.

w00t!! Wehnke you're starting a mod!! Hehehe!! Can't wait!

EDIT: w00000000000t!!! My avvie is on your site!!!

Smiles, okay peeps will post the pics tomorrow - worked last night on the "cleaning and taking apart-part"

@ DAE/// WOOT w00t Yeah, you need to get some exposure dude (I like the avvie)

LOL nevermind

Post by **Anthro** » 25 Sep 2006, 19:19

Why the hell can't I edit my posts anymore ???
Anyway, bad news - I took my memory card out of my Nokia to transfer the pics I took... transfered them, and then saw that the printer here has a "mem card slot" so I insert the card.. and guess what, it gets stuck !!!!!
So I struggled for like 40 minutes to get the thing out and when I eventually do, the card is corrupt
So yeah I lost all my other photo's except the jukebox ones. AND my mem card is stuffed

weird excuses!!! not stories!!!

Post by **Anthro** » 26 Sep 2006, 07:47

Okay here goes..
1. The victim - old Samsung CD ROM, it is a bit dirty so I will have to clean it up a bit..

Starting the cleanup job - woah it is hard to tear off these stickers !!

All clean yippeee..

Starting to void the warranty..

YOUR WARRANTY is OVER boy !!

My first problem/task at hand, this CD ROM does not have a play button, so I might have to put one in

let's see if I can solder

Victim No2.. an old PSU

Okay here goes.. peal off some stickers...

Whoops... guess what this is.. it says warranty void (DAE this does not seem to put you off so yeah)woosah

More sticker peeling off...

Even more LOL

Need to get rid of these cables... there are too many !!!

Don't need a P4 4pin connector.. snip snip

GONE !!

I took LOOONG to put this sleaving on, now I just cut it off

Don't need these extra Molex' anymore, will use the wires for fans and lights...

mmm... I need a colorful fan (side panel will be robbed for this purpose..

That is where it must go///

mmm... this looks familiar...

AHA it is familiar - but not the same... some modding here we come...

Damn this thing is dirty///

Snip Snip.. too long...

PSU all empty -

Wiring it all together..

Done..

Test the fan inside PSU...

Test the whole setup with CD ROM attached..

It turns out that I need a different CD ROM since this one does not play automatically, and a button idea seems risky/difficult... so now I need to hunt for a different CD ROM DAMN.. all that peeling stickers and stuff...

Maybe you should phone a glass company like PG or something and ask them how the drill holes in glass.

This mod has some serious potential. Cool now for some pictures...

um... Dude you got all links in there and the links don't go to pics... Or maybe I would need to create an account? Why don't you use imageshack or photobucket.

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 26 Sep 2006, 09:52

I dont see pics either

Post by **Anthro** » 26 Sep 2006, 20:21

Okay, update again..
I found another ROM to butcher.. this time a Liteon DVD ROM...

Turns out Liteon=Sony...

It has play button capability.. so I can solder !!!...

That little thingie has to be soldered OFF !

BINGO !! On it is... DAE and whoever solders... gimme a high five...

Cut off the two lines from PSU that need to be shorted for power to turn on....

Now the new question is.. what are the voltages from the various other connectors on here ? I need to know asap cause I amgoing to start putting some laser LED's on soon ::))

I can't even see the last image

But i assume you're talking about the voltage points on the CD-ROM. So i drew this diagram quick:

Does it explain what you want to know?
