Project : I hate lil kids! *UPDATE 09-004-2007**mod canceled

Spicy-McHaggis · Post by **Spicy-McHaggis** » 22 Feb 2007, 21:12

Ok! so yeah the strange name might be confusing!...

i started a mod a while back and suddenly stopped after some injuries with some powertools... (Dremmel blade popped into million pieces of which one *the largest* into my hand..)

So i decided to carry on with it and get it finished and klaar!

so me was marking and cutting some perspex and family came over *unexpected :crazy:* trying to get kids to stay away from my system(s) they finally got it far enough to damage my windows to the concent of me needing to re-install. *they got to it when nature called me

*

so me trying to find me disc and it seemd it was gone...foetsie... *i hate familie members with lil kids...*

so check this! whilst im installing kubuntu 6.10 on my one sys they rock up*

the installation errord*spelling* due to which i whent back to my windows with now problems.

After my windows was buggered --->
Yup!

*so family finally left! Thank Goodness!*

and i could continue! !!!FINALLY!!!

SO i checked my perspex and what i could still do to it, and marked off where i wanted my fans to go!

(a more detailed description of what i had in mind!)

here some holes i made so that the cutting goes easier.

so the wholes are cut i just need to filed them os they a bit smoother...

when i lost my windows i also lost pics of my GFX card, i cleaned it and there was so much dust it was lying there 5mm thick! and my card was overheating!

so i decided to sit bad and play some UT2k3 on my bros system!

and listening to some nice dance music !

whent for an XRAY *i dont know why but i did* and they found something strange about my binnegoete

The doc suggested i stop drinking!...

And BTW here the type of fan i want to put in but they make loads of noice so il have to rethink my decision!

i was thinking of using valcro(spelling) to close my case as it is easy yet different...

I will update asap!

First update on your project log and you're already planning another mod?

naughty · Post by **naughty** » 23 Feb 2007, 00:59

he probably means the next phase of this project - so you count each bit done as a mod

then again - im definitely wrong - just noticed he has a new case ordered

PLEASE rethink that part of your order. I had a TT CPU Fan and it failed. Took my MoBo with it. Rather get a Zalman or stay with stock cooling. Serious dude, get something else

Lithe_Joint · Post by **Lithe_Joint** » 23 Feb 2007, 08:39

*agrees with Samaya*

Rather get Zalman...mind you...enermax is also not bad

WAJeff · Post by **WAJeff** » 23 Feb 2007, 09:37

I 3rd that! Stay away from anything TT! Its just gonna give you problems. I had a TT fan kit and it didnt do anything except take up power... get anything but those TT things!

WAJeff · Post by **WAJeff** » 23 Feb 2007, 09:53

Sorry for the double post. Just have some suggestions on your fans:

I take it you looking at a LGA775 CPU Cooling?
Zalman Cooler - the lowest you should go in coolers!

If you not looking at LGA775, take a look here

Also with that fan, if you have to get a 80mm then go with something like:

Vantec Spectrum 80mm
Antec 80mm
Antec TriCool
Those Antec TriCool fans are the sh#t of fans! Im using them for my mod and they look really nice aswel!

Look at 120mm fans also, they alot quieter!

Damn, link overload!!!!!!!!

Spicy-McHaggis · Post by **Spicy-McHaggis** » 24 Feb 2007, 07:22

SCHWEET!

Thanx Guys i just made an edit in my order and added

AOpen 450W Power Supply
[ATX-Z450]

2x Vantec 80mm Spectrum UV Case Fan - Green
[FA-80VUG]

Damn those fans are cheap!

PSU is also like 300 bucks cheaper then my current silentpower 2.0 at 400W which i payd R650 for!!!

I took off the TT products...

They seemd to be good products...

Spicy-McHaggis · Post by **Spicy-McHaggis** » 24 Feb 2007, 09:22

Ok...

So i finally got all the wholes cut in the perspec and just need to file them so that they are smooth! just have to buy the file today

Then i went into looking at how the fan would fit and im suprised it looks good just needs some filing done...

And then i whent on cutting me some metal!

Looking good so far!

My only Question is where i can buy a thermal indicator which i want to put in the side of the case...

Wil my local pc shop have it?

Spicy-McHaggis · Post by **Spicy-McHaggis** » 09 Mar 2007, 19:29

ok! so my order at PCGAME&COMPUTERWORLD sandton got scrwd up because they have a bunch of idiots working there...

I placed a order with them for 3 muffle fans by antec and the tem monitor!

this was 2 weeks ago and they keep on telling me they will phone me when they get it, they also keep telling me they dont know when they receive stock...

so yeah im on a halt for now until i get my stuff from sybaritic.

BUT i have done some filing though and some adjustments to the perspex...
*will update with pics later*

You didn't know that? :\

And your friend is pretty expensive, I had something with much more detail over the whole sidepanel and got quoted R750 including the paints

Spicy-McHaggis · Post by **Spicy-McHaggis** » 09 Apr 2007, 16:57

this is over 75% of the side panel... as theyre is a huge 25 cm fan in the side panel

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 09 Apr 2007, 17:05

It still costs more..And it's a smaller area :\
