    there's been a few threads, but they may have been waysided, by server changes......did you buy it, or make the changes yourself?......wobbles

    I bought it as a standard case with the window etc but added all the fans etc as mine didn't come with any. Planning to add more lights etc! :)

    it could have looked triple as good if you clipped all the cables and it is very good for the airflow.

    I manage to have 42Idle and 53C stressed with a P4 550 and a gt6600 nvidea (same temps) just because of a good airflow.

    just a small hint.


    Opt.

    Guys, I am in the process of transferring from an older case to a nicer case and I am trying to come up with a solution to cover up those nasty wires coming from the power supply without having to buy a new one, have any suggestions? and as soon as everything is together I would like to get your opionon on my set up.

    the only major thing i did was paint the inside of the case(even the PSU, fan guards and HDD 'cooler') ... i got a near mirror finish I'm alil proud of ... although there appears to be alot of wires, more than half of them are tucked where you can't see ... lol ... and no stock cooling either

    I just finished up my case today (5 hours of pain staking work!). I painted my PSU and DVD face plate (several days before hand) to match the case. I didnt go all out on this mod but what I am proud of is how well the wiring turned out. I feel that it turned out very clean which is what I was going for. I bought a Thermaltake Shark case and had to do some modifications here and there for it to except my gigabyte server board with dual CPU's...but nothing extreme. I am sorry to say that it will be tomorrow (Sunday) before I can post a picture of it. I am eagerly awaiting all of your comments and suggestions. ;)

    How about making a $ sign and sticking it onto a window get a gold cathode or something. You would have to modify it a little.

    You bet it is the old hardcano 10 im thinking about updating the new version are sleeeeeeeeeeek almost like a car cd player
    http://www.thermaltake.com/accessories/hardcano/a1845.htm
    version 12
    http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/hard13/
    version 13 i prefer the 12
    anyway number 10 is plain it has the temp sencor and alarm up the top which you can set-up
    i still need to paint the psu and my rom to match neaten the cables a little more even though i'm already using round cables except for floppy drive just put it in from an old system.
    http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/chipset/cl-g0003fanless/cl-g00003.htm
    one of them is going in next
    Hopefully after that ill think of something else and yeah the skull is off at the moment you can light it up or make it flash nothing great though

    You should use that ball, but the light might be tricky, I would use one or more of these suckers http://www.directron.com/fglazerled.html. BTW I'm am currently working on a mod of a pentium-233mmx. Why you ask. Well the answer is simple, Why not, no one else is doing it and that makes it different. Plus, I got my hands on a plasma cutter and thought i needed to put it to good use(Yes i still have all my fingers). I will post some pics here when its done!

    Nice, I need to add some cable ties to mine, it's not running at the moment because it has no cpu!

    Interesting, not many actually mod the case.
    Rewire, add lights, etc. but not modding the case.

    That's a fair point to consider actually, I might see if I can do anything to mine over the next few days.

    I need a theme :eek:
    Ive looked everywhere around the shops for a vinyl of some sort perhaps. Nothing! Im not so big with online shopping so i guess thats a no go. What i was thinking is getting the top the right side and the front moded with a flame look. Would red yello and black paint do the job?
    Anyone have any suggestions. Ive done the neons the cooling the wiring and all that. Changing all the leds to blue from my keyboard down to everything that has a led and something tro do with pc, plus some neon lights around the room.
    I really wanna get this flame working it will match nicely with the skull.

    I am looking for some sort of rubber mat kinda like what you see on a gym floor like Gold's gym, It has to be about a 1/4" thick. I was thinking of tracing out the bottom of my son's gaming computer and applying this black matt to hide wires and for the appearance. A computer flooring if that's what ya want to call it. :D

  48. ncc1701dhhr

    ncc1701dhhr Private First Class

    Yea it makes them so quiet my two 120mm fans are all you hear except for the hard drives! All in all my system is real quiet! before the water cooling i had 7 fans most on full to keep decent temps (imagine the sound of a vacume cleaner :eek: ! LOL ) well real loud any way. ;)

    Thank you ! the gauge is kinda cool but I am going to switch to a piece of hard ware called compunurse look here-
    http://www.frozencpu.com/tmp-25.html
    it does more and moitors more than one thing! :D
    the one i have has 3 gauges but one is for temp one is for sound pressure :confused: found that one kinda useless,
    one is voltage for a monitored fan.
