Man, how goes it! I haven't seen you in ages! I hope all is well, and the system for your wife is doing stellar!

Yeah, if you go mirror powder coat, make sure you got glove! Or that Plexi-clean stuff.. just note, that you gotta do that in a well vented room.. It has to just be Cat piss in a bottle.. it so damn strong! lol

Cold Storm · Jun 18, 2009

Well tonight will be a update, not of the switches, but one for the tubing.. I think it will go quite nicely with my set up. Plus have some extra stuff with it...

Also, after going threw Energy's build again, I came up with something via his style.. Something he did a little "extra" for his wife.. should look good.. Well, I'm hoping at lease!

Wow, I didn't even see you post this.. lol.. I tried wax, I think I posted it in here somewhere.. It didn't work, but I think because it was due to it being a wax to "let out" the color of the car your waxing..

Things are all right man. Just getting now to have only wednesdays off, so not a lot of working on the case... But, here is a run down for everyone.

After a few pm's I've came out with this...

It's going to be Shit load, yes I used that phase, of money to have MM do both the top and side. Not to mention the fact that it's going to let me wait even more on things.. Yeah, by the time it comes in, I may have my res also, but I'm not wanting to spend more money into this then it has been.. Don't get me wrong. I love the case, and the equipment that is going in it, I just am getting antsy on wanting to do something else! lol.. No, Modder thoughts!

So, I've got, threw the pm's, on how to do the side panel myself.. Plus Cyberdruid has shown it on the modders club house.. lol.. THanks CD!

But, because of also talking with CD, and putting threw my head that as long as the line for the water set up has enough water in it, and the bubbles are out, the rest can be placed on it's side... So, with that, I can get two UN design Brackets and after a few days of running, I can place it under the rad..

Or... I can grab two UN Design Brackets, and still do the side panel mod, and have the res there... Man, grrr... lol.. Thoughts and thoughts.. If I do it this way, the side panel mod, it can all be set up in one area and boom done.. But, then you gotta think of heat... LALLALALALa I'm thinking To much into this? Or, am I???

Thoughts???

The only thing that I have done is the rad fans, and front panel wired up, and wired straight to one molex....

Grrrr... Forgot... Might void the warranty on the PSU! lol.. cables are to dang LONG on the PSU... Word is "MIGHT"

tzitzibp · Jun 24, 2009

talk about "in need of therapy !" lol

When I churn several thoughts in my mind, I find the best thing to do is put them on paper, one by one, evalluate them and then decide which to go forward with!

My suggestion as a modder (not really a good one, however addicted) is "give the panel a go, on your own" and if CD can help you out, even better! As for the PSU...you MIGHT want to do it, as it should be really practical.

Let us know how the..... work therapy is going1

Mark_Hardware · Jun 24, 2009

Man workin on a pile o' fans blows. (pun intended

) Tedious but the result is worth it

Cold Storm · Jun 26, 2009

Well, another texted update... lol.. I went to Home Depot and got the Hole saw to be able to cut the rad myself.. Then after I got it, MM threw me a e mail saying it would only be 40 since there isn't a Custom panel for it.. but still haven't sent me a e mail saying how I should order it... grrr... lol.. I'm not returning the stuff since I've got a itch to do more modding! lol...

Now, for the better stuff... Frozen.Q is still waiting on led's so it's looking like it's going to be a while still that I get my res... SO, I said flop it. I have the next few things coming in probably my Saturday, Latest Monday. Here's the list of things that is coming in

iandh Quad StealthGrille 480 grill cover
Black Oxide screws for it
Koolance 240mm res with fan mounting kit
Bitpowers 90d rotary barb ( I know a sin for Koolance and Bitpowers to be together.. lol)

With that I'll be going to water probably by the end of the weekend Wednesday at the latest.. So, that means I gotta get it all done! lol...

Koolance 2

Yep, its a good investment. Now, if I can get to doing so! I know the stuff has been sent out, so now it's just getting and going at it!

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2009

I got in the parts today from the desired places. I am quite pleased with it all. The time is almost near to set it all up! Gotta go to work in a few hours and then Parents are going to be in town for the day..

So, by Wednesday I'll have the case up and running.. Just waiting on the finishing touches.

Mountain Mod on the custom top for the res... (Depending on how it looks the way I'm doing it now, I might not even do the top)
Frozen.Q T-Virus (Liquid Chaos) Res

Till I figure out if I want to have the custom top or not, I'll have the top off.. That way I can figure out if I want to go 3 fans or still do 4...

Lol... I forgot all about the window!! lol.. So that makes 3 things I gotta get finished.. I guess in the next two days I gotta finsh up the window graphics.

Update:

Well, I've done it. I finally have a update that isn't just texting! :roll:

A good one I say... Works been hell, and I've been up since 3am, but I got energy!

First I gotta show the fans.. I don't have a youtube... I finished late and didn't have the right lighting to do it with showing.. you'd see just darkness and hear the fans.. Not worth the 30min upload time! lol But, I got all the fans sleeved that I have...

As you can tell from the picture is that I've shortened two of the fans since they are on the back of the case, then made one have a extended length so I can have it on the bottom of the case where ever i want it.. Now, that I'm typing it, I have another idea... The mobo tray one, One in the middle, I should cut it close to the fan, that way I can detach it from the header without having to reach the back, or even un screwing the fan just to take the mobo tray out... Hmmmm, Ideas!!!!

So, now here is where I come to thoughts... I bought a Koolance res and their fan bracket system to hook up the system.. I don't think I'm going to be getting a 3 fan top from him... The thought of the res coming from the top is sweet, but I got something instore that will make it look nice. I might not even use the t-virus res now.. I'll still get it, but because of this mod, I got the itch to do another, and the virus res will be... wow... Or, at lease for those who I threw it at has liked it... So, I'm going to have the set up on the rad on the side panel... Should be quite nice and different...

Wait, what? Side panel rad... Yep, that's right.. My bro and I did it today. Well most of it.
First off, tape the area!

now guess what tv show we're watching!? :laugh:

We made sure that there was at lease 4 layers on it so not to scratch it up... I should of taped the hole damn thing, but oh well... learn.. lol..

Making the holes where easy to do, Measured it all up, and did the Algebraic equation and found where to drill..This it what it turned up with

No, that's not my belly, it's the stool!

Well, that's really it for updates... My bro is going to get all the ruff edges out of it tomorrow while I'm at work, that way by the end of Friday, I'll have the whole thing done and going! I just gotta now order 4 more fans, and sleeving...

NOw, I try to leave ya with something...

Yep, that's right.. That's the Connector for the fans! I's Be a Ghetto Superstar

Chicken Patty · Jun 30, 2009

dude awesome!

what did you use to make the holes?

Cold Storm · Jun 30, 2009

4&1/2 Bi Metal Hole Saw.. it costs a penny to get one.. Around 50 I spent at Home Depot (for the hole saw and bit), but that will be used a TON for the coming years! I got a lot of thoughts now because of this case... Even if it cost me Double what the Silverstone case would of.. :roll:
