I figured there was a connection on the end of the wires, but you usually see a female molex connector soldered to the PCB. It looks better without it.

de.das.dude · Jun 2, 2012

yes. but i used a male, like all other power taking inputs.
infact, only the pins are there. will put on the jack after i sleeve it lol.

de.das.dude · Jun 3, 2012

using a bit of enamel to insulate

filed down the stuff

added the sticky tape in two layers so that i get a flush finish.

in action

for more pictures and details goto Kustom PC mawds!

Where's the fan installation mister?! Must see when completed!!!!

de.das.dude · Jun 3, 2012

yeah i will wait till i get things sorted out.

de.das.dude · Jun 7, 2012

a small update

coloured the foam with a marker to make it look neat.

Peter1986C · Jun 7, 2012

At what voltage will the fans run? The full 12v or does the resistor lower it to, say, 8v?

de.das.dude · Jun 8, 2012

12V, resistor is a 1K for lowering the voltage and driving the 4V LED.
all the fans will be silent fans so why bother with fan control XD

update time!
dad got a angle grinder for his construction work. so i bought a metall cutting disk for it and gave it a go.

final touches were done with a grinding disk for the angle grinder

i like it

if you have good eyes you will notice the distribution board i showed in the last update

the aluminium bit on the right seems to have gone off and some of my patchwork on the embossed letters seems to have gone flaky. need to correct those.

theJesus · Aug 12, 2012

What the hell happened to that panel?

de.das.dude · Aug 12, 2012

theJesus said:

there were holes in the lower left region that hindered me from making clean fan holes, so i had to make a new plate for that portion. i dont have 0.6mm secc, so aluminium it was.

and there were the letters ACER punched into the side panel so i had to cover that up too. then i cut it.
you can hardly see the er of acer. c is visible though

a bit of the aluminium panel i fit came off due to the epoxy not being used properly.

theJesus · Aug 14, 2012

Oh, I think I remember all that now lol. You're gonna make sure it's all smoothed out and then paint it when you're done though right?

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Aug 15, 2012

theJesus said:

Hell no, it is done now. Remember the title of the thread? Poor man's mods. Poor man can't afford to make it look good. :toast:

theJesus · Aug 15, 2012

Well, he doesn't have to powder-coat it lol

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Aug 15, 2012

Oh he is in India, don't they use like beans or something to dye and paint with?

theJesus · Aug 15, 2012

I know he can at least find a few Sharpies :laugh:

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Aug 15, 2012

Dye it with some berries or something. He is going to come back in here and say we done shited up his thread hmm he can dye it with that.

slow progress

caleb · Mar 26, 2013

What program you do those technical drawings? Some AutoCAD ? Do you have any noob documentation for it so I can give it a go?

de.das.dude · Mar 26, 2013

i used sketchup. sketchup is good. its free.

plus its pretty simple to use. you just need to get used to it. plus tons of tutorials online.

Peter1986C · Mar 26, 2013
