LOL, no way Jose..this comp is gonna run VERY cool (20-30C range)

(especially with the new Patented SkyKast exhaust vent/mesh)

hah oh yah forgot about that beast!

Thats why I wear my trusty alum foil hat.

omfg that reminds me one of my ex's mom put aluminum foil around the front door to keep the aliens away and......nevermind lol thats for another time :shadedshu

MKmods · Nov 11, 2008

here is my copied idea for a back panel from SkyKast

The mesh is too short and backwards (one side is smooth one rough) but its the only scrap I had left. Looks like I need to get some more.

theJesus · Nov 11, 2008

mmm, mesh is sexy :pimp:

Looks good

SkyKast · Nov 11, 2008

I wish I got that mesh LOL I accidentally ordered the stuff with rlly tiny holes

Chicken Patty · Nov 11, 2008

Mark, mesh looks good bro.

Careful as that can only let 40-60% of air pass through it. The hex is the best I know of (79%)

kick-ass job with the fabrication on the new panels,, also my hat off to you on the CF mobo tray. I believe, when it comes to modding there's no such thing as overkill.

hah yah its great to be able to ask a question and be able to be confident in the answer!

Ok I am fiddeling with the HDD mounts, here is what I got so far

I was gonna use my four 80 Gig laptop Hdds but desided to go with the 2 WD 160s in Raid0 (almost silent Hdds)

Chicken Patty · Nov 12, 2008

Mark that is brilliant bro. Amazing thinking for the mounting of those HDD's :toast:

MKmods · Nov 12, 2008

thanks CP, I wanted simple but secure. The inside brackets are carbonfiber (part of the mobo tray)
For this mod the cool thing is I am mounting the 2 fans on the inside at the edge of the mobo so I didnt want to block the airflow but wanted the Hdds to get cooled.

I am re doing most of the inside for the new PS (the PC Power & Cooling 510 is quite a bit different than the 400watt fanless FSP I was gonna use) + I need to make room in the front for the 3 voltage controls.

This poor PS has been modded so much :twitch:

The wires are only like 6" long. I am gonna have to make all new ones as well as some type of cover to direct air through it.

SkyKast · Nov 12, 2008

and those HDD's WILL be cooled!!! lol really perfect design for the mounts!

its such a shame that your beautiful mobo tray has to be covered!

theJesus · Nov 12, 2008

40-60% isn't bad, and it should be able to filter somewhat since I believe he's using it on the front as well.

to me thats aweful :twitch:

Thats like buying a 50CFM fan that only is 25cfm not to mention it adds a lot of noise as well.

I would use it for brackets and stuff and buy a piece of the hex..I am trying to figure where I can get it cheap (If anyone knows please let me know)

theJesus · Nov 12, 2008

Well, it depends on the intentions of it. I personally prefer filtered intakes, so it doesn't bother me. For exhaust, I agree with you though. As for noise, just don't mount the fan directly against the mesh. If you put some space in between, it'll be quieter.

btw, Nice idea with the hdds, and what are the voltage controls on the psu for? I had the page open for a while before getting to it so I didn't see your posts

SkyKast · Nov 12, 2008

hah nice 6" wires, where did you get it from?

At PC Power & Cooling its an option, there are 3 controls that will adjust the 3.3, 5 and 12V rails. As for the filtered intake just wait till you see my idea on that for this comp(ur gonna freak!!!)

SkyKast · Nov 12, 2008

omfg thats awesome!

MKmods · Nov 12, 2008

LOL, I have to admit it was pretty insane..Full ATX mobo, Water cooling, SLI and 2 HDDs in Raid0 all in about the size of a PS box.

SkyKast · Nov 12, 2008

thats not even funny! thats just over the top! lol man now thats a sweet mod

theJesus · Nov 12, 2008

Damn that is crazy awesome, I wish I could have that!. The box on the left in the last pic is upside down though

If you think that was a good deal at $80 though, I got my 750w pc p&c for $100 shipped

the 750 was a very good deal for an excellent PS, but the 510 is a "Turbo Cool" series PS, with quality beyond just about any other PS made.
(with the mod of the controllers it was over $300)

theJesus · Nov 12, 2008

Oh, well shit, I am sorely mistaken :eek:

(and jealous)

And that article is purely amazing. The face in this pic from it sums up my reaction:

MKmods · Nov 12, 2008

Thanks for that.
I hate articles, takes too much time from my work but the admin there asked me to do it and basically wrote it for me.

LOL, that pict seems like 100 years ago.. I was trying to show how the 8800GTS (320mb version) exhaust bracket sucked..
