WOW I34z1k lol i didnt know you could be so nice, did you get a new girlfriend(or boyfriend) or something?! where did she take the old I34z1k!?!!? LOL jk...I34z1k wrote:Rofl, there are countermeasures and Rob isn't stupid.
no it wont be connected permanently, 1 because of the condensation, which living next to the sea, is bad lol and 2, i dont have the space in my case to mount it properly. so for now its a benching only item.
BUT in december after finals ill design a circuit (proberly intergrate a fan controller in aswell) with a pic microcontroller to detect ambient temp and not let the water temp drop below that point for day to day use. but under um, special, cicumstances ill turn it on all the way
more to come!

Sand the edges and make them look pretty. It doent matter if anyone will ever see it, it will bother you to know you skimped on that part of your build.
Let me know what you guys think!!!!

Dude...
Please please please tell me you are going to remove those hideous cable ties keeping your light tube (ccfl, whatever) to your case... It really makes it look bad... Supaglue it if you have to, just get rid of those ties that are showing...

Ah thanks buddy!!! you rock!!!!! lol.. YEA!!!!!!silv3rback wrote:What a sick mod dude!! Awesome work, you got some serious potential bro
Keep up the awesome work :bigups:
Yea, sorry about that, i just did that so i could take it to the F.R.A.G lan, i have been thinking of a better mounting plan, prob redo the red perspex ccfl holders and tap one side for an alen cap screw, then use two alen caps through that black bar thing, just as soon as i get a chanceSlasher wrote:Dude...

I also got 2 get some more of that vantec red cable sleeving to finish up my wiring..
Also this mod might take a new direction in decemeber and i might "expand" my case with some Aluminium!!! lol... havnt decided what im gonna do yet, might just build a whole new case from scrath with some better cable managment, cause thats the problemi have with this case, no space for cable management.... sucks.

Hey guys!
Update time:
The bad news: i have decided to stop modding my case for two main reasons: A) Its to small to really achive what i want
B) I have decided i dont want to mod some one elses design, but rather want to do something wiht my own design!
SO
The good news:
Im going to build an entire watercooled case from scratch! the specifications im working around are:
BIG - lots of space to play with, im thinking CM stacker size or bigger.
Aluminium - Light weight, relitivly cheap, easy to attain, easy to work with.
Watercooling - this case is going to be designed around my water cooling rather than my mobo(since im an overclocker at heart and need the best erformance possible! )
Im not going to give away to many details just yet, but expect some sketchup models soon.
In terms of hardware i have just upgraded to a C2Q Q6600, an extra 320gb sata hdd(for vista), and 4gb ram but other than that the specs will stay the same and it will still be called Black Flame just with a new and improved case!
So, why havent I been updating for a while?
As alot of people know the South African Matrics have been writing finals, and im one of them i have one more to go (computer theory) and then im FREEEEE!!!!!! and im going to take over my dads workshop and build my case! also i just recived my C2Q and some more ram which i have been playing with in my free time, so, i havnt had a chance to mod yet...
BUT, that being said, i did do some small mods a little while ago:
What to do if you have 10mins, a piece of perspex and a 13mm drill bit?
lol yea, i needed a quick/cheap/dirty radgrill so i drilled some holes in some perspex and screwed it on, simple, buy efective!
ALSO!, i decided to mod my G15 keyboard, with some red LED's but i knida screwed up, after i did it i realised i used highbrigh LED's instead of superbright.... so its not as brigh as i wanted.. BUT i will order some more superbrights and do the mod again (and prob some film for putting over the lcd to make it red!)
Flash:
No Flash:
But as i said, there is a part 2 to come.
So guys, you know whats coming, check back soon and whatch the work progress!
Enjoy!
Rob~!
