Thats a very good idea Keto. IF my rad is to be modded into the top, i will have a couple of inch of tube before the intake of the rad connected with a "Y" so that any air gets up there instead of the rad. I need to start digging holes on the plate of the MB first though. Extra caps underneath the MB makes it impossible to mount.
I think I am a natural at modding . This is a pic of the first ever window modded PSU. Its over a year old now.
it went into this oldschool AT PC
Keto might remember this one
I got such a demand for a how to guide on the PSU mod I did a guide and produced the second modded PSU
It went into this box
I then ditched the window and created this PSU mod
It went into this box
I them focused on the CPU fan and thought I could mod it too. I took a standard 80MM fan and 80 to 60MM fan adapter and melded them into one and UVed um.
Hear is another look.
I got alot of guid buzz on this too
WEEEE
There is more but I think the other 56Kers like my self will be glad I stopped hear. Thanks
shwaip said damn... very nice. All i've done is stealthed my drives
It starts with something small then you get sucked into this MOD vortex and everything becomes a how do I hod that idea.
Just keep modding even when you think all has been done! I did the moulded fan mod. It was later labeled the BBQ FAN MOD It kinda looks like BBQ in the first PIC. Just think outside the box. I still have a few to share like my CPU DIE backside cooling!
I've sent side panels off to the big laser cutters to do designs. Aluminum cuts like butter...steel has a tendancy to melt during the finer cuts.
I also have enough neon in my PC cases to make it look like the Las Vegas Strip...just missing the hookers.
I've always had a hankering to put a PC into a stereo receiver unit. I think that may be my winter project to figure out how to make the buttons, volume knob, treble, bass etc work the audio and other such features.
I've seen Deathstar's monstrosity before. I remember it when it was being built, rebuilt, cabled etc. Deathstar knows forum life well.
Thanks, the HDD's are 2x120 gig WD SATA drives and the opticals at the top are both Samsungs; a 52x24x52 cdrw and a 16x dvdrom drive, both black.
I spent a couple hours finangling the wiring but it's not the snazzy expandable sleeving stuff as I can't get it locally and I don't have a C.C. to buy it online.
polarys425, nice rig ya got there!
Im a big fan of the chromed out look. A little DVD drive stealthing would really top that box off. Put on your modding hat and make it happen!
Nice work!
paroxym had this to say polarys425, nice rig ya got there!

thanks... the shroud is made from acrylic sheet. painted to match.
stealthing goes like this.....
the lite-on cdrw is showing, the DVD writer is stealthed...
im working on changing my floppy mod however. the door for the floppy will soon be mechanized so that it opens itself. just waitin for UPS to bring me the parts to make it happen.
oh yeah, that lite-on dvd drive in that one pic was just in there temporary. its now in another machine.
WOW...
Looks like I spoke too soon. Now if I could just eat my own words and get something of the same calibre done to my case.
Keep it up and keep us posted polarys.

when ever my stuff gets here, im gonna change that floppy mod and use either a servo or a solenoid to operate the door on it. i have a few ideas on how to do it, the only thing i havent totally ironed out is how to control or actuate it.
with the solenoid, i thought of maybe using a reed switch which is magnet activated, and then maybe mount a override somewhere in case im ever without a magnet....
ive also wondered if theres a way to run it via the serial port, and have some little proggy to do it.
u guys have some decent set ups.. sup Keto... figured i register here .. miss harassing u man :P glad to see your AOpen is still alive and well.. anywho.. heres a shot of my rig... its been beaten up pretty bad over the past year due to 2 moves and lack of proper transport, im working on a new case but its been a pain to get the time to work on it

you can upload the pix to S-M if you want. That's what the attachment box is for

I've heard tell that there is even a computer somewhere in that picture.
