So damn jealous

QFT....

Yay got DSL now I can follow your mods

Your mods look awsome DJV keep it up man

Thanks for the comments guys

Yeah, i'm very lucky to have sponsors like this, so once again, big up to them

Update time!Guess what arrived last week?





My tiny little D-Tek DB1 pump:







Some 1/4" tygon tubing, and a bunch of fittings and clamps:





And lastly, my PC-ICE:





"But, wait, that's clear!" you say?! That's exactly what i said! I almost had a frikken heart attack

Anyway, don't worry, there's a little syringe with the colourant in:





Okay, on to some modding. I started cleaning the paint off the black panels of the case. This is the side panel:





Remember this?





Looky looky:







I just need to soften and polish all the edges, and then it'll be done

This is an idea of how it will sit on the side panel after i've cut the panel:





I'm pretty much screwed for modding at the moment My drill died. No idea how, but i got to it a few days ago and it just wouldn't work properly. I think i'm gonna go get myself a drill press this week though, so modding will continue.

That's it

God Bless

Niiiiiice Blood red hmmmmm

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!!

I'm excited, I dunno about everyone else

Awesome stuff dude!!!
Want to know what that PCI Ice is though, I take it its some sort of cooling thingy.....

no0b moment 101

Thanks guys

No, the PC ICE is just fluid for my WC system. What sets it apart though is that it's non-conductive (and the PEFRECT colour for this od too)

it's coolant. Looks good dae, love that piece of plexi

dae, colour it and show us again!!

freakness on those perspex cut, laser cut i prosume...? look good.

Sorry I am only responding now. I had to pick my jaw up off the table and wipe off the drool...

NICE FRIGGEN CUT MAN!!! That looks seriously awesome.







ps: Did you manage to get epiphany cleaned the way I explained? And do you still want to test it?

LOL no no, i didn't cut that by hand

I wish i did though...

I'm sure i'd be able to, but laser cutting it is just SO much faster

@ Samaya, no, haven't worked on Epiphany. I'll probably start a bit later

Nice work here, looking forwards to this being complete

Woah!!! Nice side panel! Can't wait for finished pics!

Thanks guys

Get ready for a hell of an update...

I worked a bit yesterday, as i went and bought myself a press drill. Man i dunno how i lived without this thing before.

Anyway, let's get to the update.

A few months ago i got a nice little koolance flow meter (thanks viceroy!):







This little goodie works with a PCI card that koolance sells, and with that setup you can setup warnings and so on. I'm not going to use any of that functionality though, this flow meter is going to be purely an aesthetic addition to the mod. So, i removed the bottom cover (the black piece) and also removed the little PCB. The plan was to simply mount the meter onto a piece of plexi to have in the top section of the case. This was made a little complicated by this:





No problem though. I grabbed a piece of red plexi, cut it to size, gave it a nice bend on the one end, and then after some measurements...





The two holes on the sides are mounting holes, and the bigger hole in the center is for the 6.5mm piece that comes from the meter.

Almost done:





Done. All i need to do now is polish the edges:







Flow meter mounted:





As you can see, it's a PERFECT fit:





I also mounted the pump. Here we have both of them in the top of the case:







A nice shot of the flow meter:





Then i quickly needed to get the HDD mounted:







All three in the case:





I also mounted the reservoirs. I first needed to make the mounting holes:





Fitted:





This is the most amazing tubing i have ever used in my life...





The next step was to make holes in the front of the case for the tubing:





I also had to mod the chassis a bit to accommodate the tubing:





That's as far as i am now. I'm gonna try and see if i can have this mod done before i go on holiday on the 16th. I'm actually aiming to have it done for this coming friday (one hell of a LAN is calling my name) but i'll see how it goes.

Say hello to Jill





Damn she's cute...

Anyway, that's it for now guys. Cheerio!

One word: SHIBBY!

More details on the Tygon? Why's it so awesome?

Nice stuff man Masking tape > All. Btw where are pics of the press?

WOOOHOO that's cool! Look at Jill Awwww CEWT!!!!!

Thanks guys

Mike, the tygon is 1/4", and it's so frikken soft dude, you have no idea. I bet i could twist it around one of my fingers and it won't kink. It's also CRYSTAL clear

I'll post some pics of the drill press on my next update, just for you

Cute doggie there man, and a Nice update showing some nice work

Freakin AWESOME skills dude!! I love it!!

Big ups to you dae!!

Brilliant update bro!!!!
Why do you mod so well??

One question though, how do you bend your plexi?

Looks nice man. Pity you don't want to use the whole flow meter. Maybe you still can, if I inpect it maybe I can build you a bar graph indicator for it and you could still incorporate the proper functionality of the flow meter. Let me know, I am rather good with stuff like that

*waits for DAE's next Tygon wrist band*

This was made a little complicated by this:... No problem though

Dude, I say this when I install something and it gives me an error... Re-run installation FTW!!!

With you it is like:
"Let's plan world domination"
"Damn I still need to take over Africa"
"No problem... Supply them with showers, food and some decent internet..."
"Done... No big hassle"



awesome stuff you doing... hope you can get it done when you want...

Wicked Sick DAE awsome!!!
