@WhiteNoise : This is what I call "efficient case cooling".

@WhiteNoise Pretty sure you didn't have to clean dust off that build with all that air draft inside it :laugh:

Gotta love this ingenuity of yours. Say, what are the power supplies for?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Aug 10, 2017

12 volt rails for the amplifier.

dont whant to set it"' · Aug 12, 2017

DANGER!
not exactly PC related mod , it was not PC related when I've envisaged and made this danger-contraption(torque-wise).

Purpose: all-around'er , mainly refurbishing threaded rods.
specs: 1800rpm output shaft (230volts tool)1310 Watts and from what I could figure it has a 25 to 1 reduction ratio give or take 1, hence the high torque even on lowest preselectable speed It surprised me hence DANGER!

I came back from a short vacation yesterday and finally decided to do something about my headphones.
It's Sennheiser HD465 - the crappiest one out of their entire lineup in the whole history of Sennheiser, but that's not the point.
Both earpads on this thing are old and shitty to begin with, so about a year after I bought them all foam pretty much disintegrated after intense daily use (I only use headphones, and I'm on PC 8+ hours a day).

From left to right: earpiece with foam goo and powder in it, a trashcan with melted foam after cleaning, dust covers filled with boogers.

Couldn't find any replacement pads locally, and I had no time or patience to wait 30 days to get it from china for $10, so I've decided to use whatever I had laying around.

First, we clean the shit out of everything:

Second, we cut a piece of very soft foam from PSU packaging and cut a pair of foam ovals with speaker holes:

Meanwhile, dust covers were soaking in the dish soap and drying on my ASUS router

Lastly, we put everything together and hope that we did not damage speaker membranes with that stupid toothbrush:

Tested with some black metal and to be honest, it ~~sounds much better. Seems like the old foam rubble was blocking too much mid and bass....~~ still sounds like black metal :rockout:

Cheers!

Did some one say Ghetto mod??

to be fair..
this is just testing out some stuff before parts arrive..
Any way its a fujitsu 12vonly motherboard with an i5 2400.
it has 10gb of miss-matched ram. (3x2 1x4)
its using the 12v only powersupply to power the MB, then a 750w psu is powering everything else..
The GPU is a r7 270x I had to remove the blower fan from it as it will not clear the hat sink with it on. and i had to make a shorter screw for the heatsink corner that goes under the gpu..

that wooden master piece is an old rotel amp case. and the mb is afixed with 2x self taping wood screws.
It has 2x 120mm fans directed at the gpu (held in place by gravity) which still manages to hit 73C under load

any way thought id share as this wont look like this for long.

But i wanted to say..
"Do you even getto bro?"

Had to solder the molex connector to the other side of my 6800GT AGP, since it has this stupid 90-degree connector and there was no room for connector with Twin Turbo.

Well it might not be PC related but I have been using this hair dryer for 20+ years with some small fixes. I dont know whats more ghetto that duct tape.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Sep 11, 2017

Not a ghetto mod more of an observation.

This cooler is as cool under load as the stock fan was at idle....no noise too.

Rehmanpa · Sep 11, 2017

Someone should do a computer build in an old washing machine, replace water with mineral oil. Seen washing machines on Craigslist for like 50 dollars lol.

Go for it then and you don't need to pay anything for a crapped out machine you should be able to find one in a dumpster for Nothing

Yeah thing is with washing machines you need a real cutter as a dremel will not last long with that thick metal.
