Also could i post pics of my Xrocker i have been working on?
for those of you that don't know what it is...
It is a rocking chair that has speakers in it. Mine sits on the floor and has new wires/speakers/amp also i added a cooling fan and made (vary cheap and fast) panel for the controls because they wouldn't fit where the others did i also had to make the hole for the sub bigger and had to repair the PCB board on the amp for the sub.

May i post picks of it please?

Heck yea...

First congrats on the cool GF (she is a great sport and loves comps too). And REALLY great job on the case.

i think it is vary comfortable i have spent hours sitting in it playing games and listening to music . It i is nice now to do that without hearing alot of humming and buzz sounds.I know i didn't do the best job but i was trying to get it done fast and wasn't feeling that good.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

been working on my Xrocker again. I am going to seal the box really good that the sub goes in replace the sub again, replace the back and bottom vynil with red. I am going to have the colors be red and black as kinda a dale Earnhardt tribute
can someone give me a formula to get how many yards of vynil i am going to have to buy

here is what i have done so far i haven't been working on it for vary long. I will have an update with more pics tomorrow

Am i a bad boy now I fitted my 240mm radiator into the side of my v1000b today,it look cool and i'm chuffed with it.I can always fit another one on the other side of the case.

It is fitted like this-

I have never seen a v1000 with the radiator fitted this way before.I wanted it internal but not on the top or bottom.

I will post some pics tommorow.

At first I was like what's tig talking about. It took me a minute to see it since it looks so perfectly factory.

That's ideal... a pair of 240 rads is plenty for almost any build...and it looks so stock. I like it.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Wait till you see some pics,i think i have done a pretty ok job off it.The hdd caddy is behind the bottom fan,but with two rads in it,it can go were the second rack is in the pic above.

Heres some pics

 

[CyberDruid]

The cutout looks pretty good. That's a good mounting system.

 

[Snipermonkey2]

Nice work man

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Thanks guys.

The question is,which way for the fans?

I have them sucking cold air into the radiator now.The bottom fans air is exiting from the front of the case,and the top ones is going out of the rear fan(i think)

Its idle at 26/7c now,max is around 50c with chip at 3.8ghz/1.475v

CyberDruid?

 

[Silverel]

Fans are for pushing! Ideally pushing cold air into them would be better. It'll exhaust somewhere...

Ah my nice new Thermaltake cooler that I machined so it would be nice and flat. Before it had a high peak in the middle that would drop by about .005 - .006 to each side. After that I sanded it down on a surface plate with some 1000 grit.

Can I join this group. Check out my work log it is in my sig, I think it may have some interesting ideas to share.

Here is a short tutorial on making easy stealth drives for a TJ07. It is from my worklog.

You have to remove the stock faceplate from the dvd drive and leave the face plate on the front of the drive tray. The stealth plate attaches to the front with strong double sided tape and the button pusher (don't know what else to call it) also attaches with double sided tape.

The hardware to push the button came from the hard drive mounts so depending on how many HDDs you plan to use you can get the hardware from one of them. Make sure that the opening for the button on the front of DVD drive is big enough for the screw to fit through. once on the screw can be adjusted to make good contact with the button.

Bend the flange pieces with the screw holes on the metal face covers to snap them off and put a strip of tape on. Attach it to the drive with the drawer closed otherwise lining it up will be difficult. If you run into clearance issues bend the bottom edge of the plate upwards to make a 45 degree angle (You may also need to trim the metal on the corners of the flanges to improve clearance. and then it should line itself up when the drawer closes.

Click on my sig pic to see the the w/c setup I just finished. It turned out pretty nice looking.

I like how you used the reinforced hose, small style clamps and kept the hoses in line. Not a huge fan of the 90deg bends but as long as temps are good thats all that matters. Very nice job.
