I sneaked in some modding this evening, I was too lazy to take progress pics but I have sort of the final result minus a lick of paint to touch up.

Enjoy

Cool mod there Skidd. That "Stealth drive" mod was the first "mod" i ever did (not that that's really a mod) and i thought i was so leet

You pulled it off nicely. Why not give the drive a remote switch? That'll be even cooler!

Thanks for the comments guys

@ Dae, yeah I will get round to that depending if Performance PC's have the switches at the time of the order placement, if not then I will just replace its LED with a blue one and leave it like that, Still need to tweak a bit there and get some painting done in the mean time.

Just thought I would show you guys what my desk looks like at the moment

My desk looked like that for a long time a while back aswel! I find I work better in a mess

Mods looking good dude, Im liking the stealth drive

Ok Problem oi...

Well my origanal plans call for white led fans and white ccfl lighting, but however that means I will have to order from PPC's again...

So I can have the mod finished early next month, about 2 weeks after I have recieved my stuff from PPC's if I got with blue lighting instead.

So what do you guys think?

Dude dont work according to how fast you can get finished. The more time you spend, the better it will look

Update:

I decided it was time I took on that cover and get the holes done.

So first the logistics

and then...

and Finally this is what I wanted it to end up looking like

and then down to the real deal...

The hard part done

After some cutting some filling and some dremeling

and then a test fitting to see how it is and Im pretty happy. A little more tweaking and meshing and its going to look awesome!

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 26 Jun 2007, 20:55

Yea Skidd that looks alot better. Nice job mate.

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 26 Jun 2007, 21:01

Thanks doobs

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 27 Jun 2007, 01:30

Yeah, that looks good.

Are those lines straight? Or is it the plastic on the plexi that makes them look a little skew?

haja · Post by **haja** » 27 Jun 2007, 07:15

eish, your NB is going to get TOASTY isn't it, or is it going to get WC?

otherwise, nice work mate

I'm wondering the same thing but it does look good though (the holes not the lines

)

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 27 Jun 2007, 09:03

its all heatpipe cooling. the south bridge, north bridge and the power converters are all cooled with heat pipe.

Its going to have some air blowing over it and so is the memory.

haja · Post by **haja** » 27 Jun 2007, 09:27

'cool'. Cos even heatpipes need the air taken off them, but it sounds like you have it sorted
