| It started out with a single channel burning out on my old fan controller in my old case. It has since spiraled out of control to this beauty. I apologise for the picture quality, they really don't do it justice. Before voting take a look at page 4 of the worklog on the forums as I have struggled to get the photo's down to less than 2mb. Hope you like it. | |

Several reasons for choosing purple as the colour scheme.
1. I like the colour
2. It ties in with my chair
3. The world is a multi-layered matrix of vibration and I choose to work consciously with the interaction of those vibrations, colour and intention being two aspects of said vibrational interaction.
Granted the colour is a personal preference but personally I think that it looks pretty darn good.
(And for the other nice things you did to it)
Possibly a bit of overkill. I wasn't sure whether the 700w psu was man enough and after getting a couple of replies on the forums saying that 2x8800gtx's would "kill" the psu I opted to mod my old psu. Plus it also gave me more connectors to run the other stuff without worrying about taxing the psu, plus ready for upgrading at some point in the future. Although to be honest at that point I shall probably build afresh.
Sleek and klean. Kinda reminds me of the Celestial Sheild from GuildWars ^^
looks freakin sweet man....nice job!!!
The way the perspex is cut it sticks out past the metal of the case panel, so as to catch the light on the edge and give a nice highlight glow. So I did get a bit creative. I used a router for the first attempt but it was impossible to get a decent cut edge or flat surface to stick to the case, although true if I had got it to work it would have allowed for a more interesting shaped window.
As it is I can live with it for a while....though thinking about it has given me another idea....watch this space in the future
Cheers all.
It took a while to get here but I think you'll agree it was worthwhile, in a completely uneccessary kind of way. Thanks for sticking with the log and the 10's
@MARKO.
Sorry, don't know about that. Good luck looking though
