Luck people with DFI...:shadedshu

markkleb · Jun 29, 2006

I must say the customer service at DFI is the best I have ever seen. Not to mention DFI Street also.

But last I checked there were no $45 SLI DFI mobos. Jetway dosent have the customer service but their mobo ROCKS!

BigD6997 · Jun 29, 2006

ughh i need the backplate (the cover for the usb and stuff, but i thnk i mightmake one outa mesh)for a the dfi mobo...

demonbrawn · Jun 29, 2006

Mesh, huh? Creative. Dang, this case is gonna be crazy...

markkleb · Jun 29, 2006

Hey Drew Donna at DFI sent me a SLI bridge(twice, lol) for $8 and the I/O plate was $1, just order one.

But my Jetway was different from what I ordered, but still similar. But it still worries me a bit because there might be other differences that I don't know or realize.

Glad I could be a help to you mark, Glad you used the idea that i suggested, painting the black mesh idea (Like I said it look amazing!) And not using legos

Nice Job!

$1 shipped? how do i get ahold of this Donna?

EDIT: but the mesh idea would enhance airflow

Are you going to sell this case after the contest, or keep it to yourself?

To be honest I was gonna sell it but I love to look at it. So I dont know...

What I was thinking was I want to figure out how I can sell custom made cases. So people can put their own parts inside.

zekrahminator · Jun 29, 2006

Hey, that's a really good idea! I think that the current way you do it, where you start a project log and then sell your awesome mod in the buy/sell/trade section works great. If I had any money, I'd want to buy that case now that you've modified it to be so pretty

.

markkleb · Jun 29, 2006

I think it would be cool, If I knew what mobo and stuff I could make the case fit your stuff. And it would be a lot cheaper to buy a case than a whole comp.

They just posted my picts at Ultra, I cant believe I made it. There were about 10 more things I wanted to do, lol.

BigD6997 · Jun 29, 2006

yeah but there wasnt enough time.... it looks sick, and its something that u actually modded, not like a rc car cover over a mobo tray lol..

markkleb · Jun 29, 2006

You know what I was thinking, how about a comp with NO wires. Every wire soldered to the back of the mobo.

And how about putting the HDDs in the tube. How bout one of those Raptors with the window.

(I wish I was rich :ohwell:

)

BigD6997 · Jun 29, 2006

lol your next idea = the "super uber awsome hard drive cooler vortex pipe tube thingy"

error_f0rce · Jun 29, 2006

markkleb, I just read through the whole project, nice job!!! I love it!
Question: where do you go to get all your most very basics? (i.e. mesh screen, rubber mounts for the fans, rubber siding for custom mounts/windows, etc)

markkleb · Jun 29, 2006

HomeDepot has 90%.
Also there is a small electronics store here in town, they sell LEDs and switches, things like that.

The mesh I bought on line.

The fun part is learning to be creative using what you have,

one example was it was hard to get different size Grommets. So I just bought big ones and cut them to fit.

Another was I needed some rubber feet for the HDD cage and I cut up another Grommet and used it.

the insulation tape comes in rolls (like 10') an home improvement stores (HomeDepot). I like to use a denser one. They make a soft version and a denser version. The denser holds up longer.

Hey Drew, what if I put fins inside it to create turbulance (a swirl pattern) than we could go on TV latenight and say it gets better gas mileage for your car too, LOL.

BigD6997 · Jun 29, 2006

lol... "the swirling motion of the air casues more of the air to hit the vital parts of your pc causeing cooler temps... it also works as a air intake for your car and can cause a increase gas efficiency getting more miles per gallon!!!'' - thats the tv infomercial

OOTay · Jun 30, 2006

lol im sorry i havent checked this thread in a while (been really busy) But man mark that thing is the shit! Man thats awesome. I really really love all the wire management, the tube cooler and color and all the small details. they just make that whole case man. Great job dude.
