Ghetto Mods

[Athlonite]

That grill measures 85mmx135mm.
I've tried to get two 80mm fans there, side-by-side, with the frames in diagonal, but couldn't manage to get the screw holes right.

ah buggar then

80x 2 = 160

DDD, pls.

hurr de derp in diagonal? you mean with the blade circles diagonally? nice.

get some sticky foam tape. works wonders. a must have for all ghetto modders

 

[_JP_]

Like this, DDD.

 

[de.das.dude]

i know thats what i meant. use sticky tape on the corners.

and in the centres if you are using them as exhaust.

 

[_JP_]

Sorry, thought you meant diagonally in relation to the vent.
Originally I thought about using plain double-sided tape for the corners that were outside the grill. But that would ruin the pantyhose filter if any post-installation adjustments or replacements were to be made.
The idea is to install them as intake. Well, the one installed is as intake.

back when my ASUS 4870 Dark Knight was a high end card I believe that the pictures are self-explanatory.

Exactly

And then to think that 1 eurocent coins are going to be out of rotation, if certain EMU member nations get what they want. While they clearly have shown their use right now.

 

[_JP_]

So what?
Use 2 eurocent or 5 eurocent coins.
Bigger diameter == more dissipation, while still costing less than actual heatsinks.
Plus, you can stack them for MOAR HEAT DISSIPATION.

 

[Peter1986C]

I was not serious, JP.

 

[_JP_]

Oh.
But yeah, I also heard about something like that.
But in the likes of ending with the -.99€ crap.

>Give 500€ bill.

Won't that be incredibly wobbly?

 

[micropage7]

Won't that be incredibly wobbly?

that tray? so far its pretty solid
it just hold 2 HDD, if more i consider add some plastic to reinforce that

 

[de.das.dude]

Won't that be incredibly wobbly?

he used the plastic off a 3 faced edge so not much.

 

[micropage7]

i just add plastic cover to prevent much dust entering the case, by using plastic and some clear tape

 

[droopyRO]

An old photo i dug up from around 2007, the HDD vibrations were bad i suppose, i dont really rememeber

so its for vibration dampening?
and tell me did it work well?

IIRC it did, the HDD was suspended on those rubber bands, i got a P180 after that that had rubber mounts for the HDD tray.

I want to join on the convo! :3


I got a 9800Gt From my friend and I wanted to use it.. but my pc was a thin dell optiplex and when I put the card in I had to move the hard drive and it also stuck out of the case. The psu was 280w as well which wasn't enough.

I found the cardboard box that the sky box came in from my garage and cut it up to the same height and thickness of the dell case. I took the side door off the case and used a hell of a lot of selotape and joined them together. I then had a full size power supply stuffed loose in there as well as the hard drive loosly hanging lol. It worked but my mum seemed to think it was going to set on fire and told me to take it apart xD

 

[micropage7]

its not much ghetto but pretty creative i think
