pro-infinity · Mar 21, 2009

im gona go for water coolong when i get sum decent hardware in there

probibly the biggest heatsink you can fit without modding is a zalman 7700. but with a little trimming you could get a thermalright xp-90 or a arctic cooling freezer 775 like i have

pro-infinity · Mar 22, 2009

Anyone got any tips on how best to go about filling in the Infinity HTPC engraved text on the front panel as i want to make it black as it dosnt stand out at all at the moment and you can hardly see it on some pics and its anoying as i was going to get it already done but i was tight and thought id save the cash lol. i dont know if i should use a thin brush or cover and spray

whats going to work best?

Out of pure interest and not that i will be selling this project but say you saw it for sale on ebay how much do you think someone would pay for it i just want to know wat people think and i repeat it isnt eva getting sold

SkyKast · Mar 29, 2009

umm well it depends on the specs...or are you talking about just the case?

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

hmm lets say just the case seems the spec is kinda poo lol

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

well i'm assuming the screen is included with the purchase of the case? if so then i'd pay $250-$300 for that case

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

ok thanks yea screen included

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

is there a possibility of you making a second one? i'd be interested in bidding on it

the front panel alone should cost that. This was a well made project and the builder probably has several thousand dollars in time/materials involved.

I went through this many times in the last few years and unless he has a cheap workforce and can mass produce it (in the 1000s of units) it would be impossible to sell them at a profit.

Job well done :toast:

and thanks for the inspiration

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

no shit ok well I'm sorry infinity, apparently I was wrong! :eek:

MKmods · Mar 30, 2009

lol, ur not wrong.. and im sure he is sitting there going "Sweet, someone likes my case enough to buy it"

But send him a PM and ask how much he really wants for it...

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

I don't think he is selling this one:

but I would definitely be interested in buying a duplicate

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

lol so much interest :laugh:

rite well here is wat has been spent so far

case bought new = £30
Screen bought about 2years ish ago = £100
and front panel cost bout £45

so £175 so far

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

thats not to mention your time...the most valuble thing

but how much is that in $?

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

yahoo curency converter says 248.92 us dollars

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

Time = alot but if i was to be honest i kept changing my mind on alot of things so if i had a set plan of how it was going to be then it prob would take me a couple of hours to knock up another case like it without the dvd mod lol cos that is a pain haha

SkyKast · Mar 30, 2009

well I'm sure you could find someone to pay like $500 + for that

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

Duno if people would pay that you can prob buy a decent case for that lol mine is self built lol but then everyone can buy one where as mine is one of a kind

pro-infinity · Mar 30, 2009

here is what just over $500 could get you in the uk on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zalman-HD160X...14&_trkparms=72:1690|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
