    Work in progress Muzzle Flash III: White Death

    Well, I didn't get as much work as I wanted to done last night and today. I've been having trouble with my "beater", a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. I love that car as a daily driver because unlike most cars these days, I can actually still work on it myself, and it is nearly the same car as my hot...

    The cost for the Farbwerk from Performance PCs is $36.95 USD for the one I have (USB/Aquabus). They have another that is USB/Bluetooth that you can use your PC or smart phone to control for $48.95 USD. PPC also has all the LEDs, the AQ6XT and cables too, just follow this link. If they are...

    Maybe this weekend I'll play around with this stuff ... The "Farbwerk" 4 channel RGB LED controller from Aquacomputer (which will be controlled by the Aquaero 6XT). Most likely I'll mount it in the "dog house" and figure out where to run the LED strips to give the best light. For those who...

    Well, just a little bit of modding before I call it a night. Back on page 2, I had a shot of the Aquaero 6XT controller, and after looking at it, I could see that after a bit of use, dust got in between the LCD display and the touchscreen and you could REALLY see the spots of dust when it was...

    Keep the ideas coming. I got a week before the glass gets here. Hopefully one will work. Oh, and on the subject of glass ... While I went with "clear" tempered glass, as I said before, there is a slight greenish hue to it. You CAN get tempered glass that is pretty much totally clear, it is...

    Well, regardless of what the method of holding the glass will be, the side panel glass is now on order. Hopefully in a week or so it should be in my grubby hands. Like before, here is a copy of my order, in case someone else wants to know exactly the measurements/details for this mod done and...

    The more I look at the top, the more I love it. While it does have a hint of greenish tint to it, it still allows the white to show through nicely. I'm also really digging the corners without the felt. So much so that I am giving serious consideration of ordering another piece of beveled glass...

    Well, the next major part of this case mod is in ... custom cut and beveled tempered glass. :punk: As always, ADM Glass packs your order well so it can survive a trip across the country. And the cut and fit is PERFECT. I may not even put the white felt in the corners. There is no...

    Thank you. Yes, I pulled off the protective paper cover off both sides, taped the whole thing together to hold it's shape, then flipped it upside down and measured and cut the 1/4" x 1/4" acrylic square rods to length (didn't have to be accurate) and then put super glue on two sides of the...

    Well, I came in early this morning and got about 45 minutes of work done on the dog house. I still have a little bit of clean up to do, but generally I'm pleased with how it turned out. Here is a back side view that shows the construction and support. I've got one more support bar to put in...

    WooT! IT Diva is in da house. Yeah, I was thinking about doing the dog house in 2 pieces, a top, and a three piece double bend for the two sides and the back, but ... after trying it freehand, my acrylic sheet bending skills aren't the best. I really need a heated bending table to do it...

    Work in progress Muzzle Flash III: White Death

    I appreciate it. I usually don't get to do much modding at work, but it's a light week this week and all my servers are humming along, so in the down time before the office opens, around lunch time and after the office closes, I can whip out about 30-45 minutes of "play time" per session. :thumb:

    Work in progress Muzzle Flash III: White Death

    Well, almost as soon as I posted the pictures and talked about the tempered glass top, I got to thinking ... just how ugly the metal around the edges will be without the factory top. While I plan on putting white felt triangles on the corners (partly to hide the three black screw heads, but...

    Work in progress Muzzle Flash III: White Death

    Yup. I gotta drill a 1.5" hole in the mid plate for the wires to come from under the mid plate (from the motherboard and PSU) and into the "dog house" and up to the optical drive, swappable SATA port, and the Aquaero 6XT controller. There is also a hole in the side of the "dig house" where the...

    Ok, picture time! Here is a shot of the "dog house" all mocked up. I've still got to glue it together with 1/4" x 1/4" square acrylic on the inside to give it a little structural support. It doesn't need much, just enough to hold everything together. This view shows the pump/reservoir location...

    BLOND MOMENT . . . . The Demented Diva has a go at the new Core X9 Snow Edition She doesn't have as many photos in her build log as she does in the general OCN's Core X9 owners thread though, starting around this point. Thermaltake Core X Case Owners Club: X1, X2, X9, X9 Snow Ed.

    Thank you. I see Darlene is making a ton of progress on her build as well. :punk: I did a little more today, but didn't take any photos. I ended up redoing the front plate because one of the cuts wasn't totally square, now it is. I also cut and bent the last piece of acrylic tubing that goes...

    Let's go Team !!

    True, but the PC's stay on 24/7 anyway at the office so that people CAN remote in (which they never do). Besides, it's not me paying the electric bill. But yeah, gone are the days of pulling 250k a day with an i7, back when I was on Team Competition. It's all GPU power now. :angry2:

    Work in progress Muzzle Flash III: White Death

    All good ideas. I think I'll paint them all white first, not only as a test, but as a base coat. I'm thinking that those in white won't look as good as either black or orange (or black AND orange) because it will be a different hue of white than the acrylic. But by painting them white first, I...
