I hear that...

Was that Aluminus that color from the Factory? Looks great. Man you cannot beat $19...except maybe a RocketFish for $40

Yep factory Blue (kind of a metallic steel blue) I just saw it under a pile of stuff, I may dig it out and freshen it up.

I would like to have a small contest where I give out some simple tools as prizes, are any of our members mods?

CyberDruid · Apr 6, 2008

I bet you have quite a collection of bobs and bits...I have recently tried to part with all my PackRattage but it just keeps accumulating...I literally shipped off 6 large boxes...

MKmods · Apr 6, 2008

Till the last couple years I never stayed still long enough to collect too much. But I was thinking ther are quite a few here that dont have the basics (Wiss compound tin snips, volt meters and I just got a new metal brake so I have a simple 18" model laying around.

It would be fun to have a contest for the noobs, to get them started.

Count me in too...you can catch up on my build here

http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=54775

I have let it slip this week or so,due to an unexpected modding project...my car's clutch dieing, and finding that both bottom arms are on there way out as well,when changing the clutch. :banghead:

But will try some more this week.I have gave up waiting for the D-tek water block to come back into stock in the UK,cant get one anywhere,so ordered an Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120.
The water will have to wait now till funds build up again :mad:

Alot of people in the US are cool with picking something up like that, and selling/shipping it to you.

Just ask people on the forums. Myself included. :toast:

But I like the shiny ring around it!! I did sand and round it off a little.

I work in the auto industry, they use these small deburring tools on all kinds of stuff. The work great for cleaning up rough edges, and are surprisingly tough and effective. Good for trimming on pretty much any material you'll deal with when modding. Steel, aluminim, plastic, plexi, whatever you can think of. Runs about 5$ for a set. Usually including a few extra blades.

Thanks Daedalus,was waiting till they came back in stock over here,if ever, and then putting a full order in for new system....unfortunately my car has decided it requires some up grading and that has put an end to the water cooling and my new GPU :banghead:

,hence the Ultra 120.

@JR hope to get most of it done this week.....after I finish with the car....by the way I HATE having to buy OE parts. :mad:

there OEM is andyson and seventeam but i don't know who actually assembles them

intel igent · Apr 9, 2008

i thought it was ANTEC that made all of those cases? xcept for the aluminum ones which i thought were chieftech

have a look at a plusview or tx-1033 or w/e

jbunch07 · Apr 9, 2008

why do the lian li cases cost so much?
is it just because the brand name or are they really better?

Fox34 · Apr 9, 2008

Well I wrote the guide to case modding, and if you check out my mods, ive put a puter into a ps2, vcr, and plently of other case mods. I have mine up, but not even close to updated pics

The name for 1.
and 2, alum is very expensive compared to stamped steel ones.(especially the thicker alum Lian Li uses.

I am very sorry, I got so many PMs I had to empty my PM box
I erased 800 PMs (from the last week) and lost a bunch of important stuff, lol.
(dont stop I really like the PMs)

PM me this afternoon and I will put them aside and send them right out to you today.
