Hi guys, this is just a simple build from unused parts after tear down of Titanium MK II. Titanium MK II had shifted to TJ 07, so I'm gonna use remaining parts to build a simple system to hook up HDTV for HD contents, normal internet surfing only, so don't expect super duper fuper high ends jaw dropping parts =)).

Aim here of course, make everything aesthetically pleasing (try my best ), so simplicity will be the code here !

and well, if you are wondering how my TJ07 looks like, here it is, bt not much photos, didnt fully complete yet =) :





zzZz, enough of those out topic stuff, I'm here for lian li damn it ~

Ok first off, gonna start with the motherboard, most of the parts are not yet decide, so gonna update as i proceed:

First thing first, i did complete some small motherboard mod, well if it counted as one though----> capacitors CLEANING ! !

took me like 6 hours , tools & materials: ACETONE, cotton buds / cotton .. . .

and oh, i did clean off the white printed EVGA wording on the heatsink, well the white coloured word goes off, but it the word still existed on heat sink when light shines off it, kinda like stealth words =D and i think i m gonna leave it be =)

and here are the results:









Hope you guys like the shiny cap , hmm what am i gonna do next !?

Well, hopefully it'll live up to your expectation.

well i m not sure bout voiding warranty, as long as it's beautiful, who cares , haha... but anyway, this is an old motherboard, and its quite

hard to sell it off at this rate, so might as well work it to it's fullest

i believe ur hardware already pass the warranty period? no? haha
i only do mods to stuff that has no more warranty lol

haha, nope, still intact, but this mod , i would like to try something new and something more.... details....

suzuki swift spotted~

that looks like a frankensunflower

I'm glad some actually get my idea of photography

Original intel heatsink, (i knows it's a cheapo, but what to do? I'm a poor cheapo, so gotta use it )



Peeled off the stickers. but with stains still . . . .



Cleaning off the stickers with ACETONE ! man, i love acetone



Sleeveed the stupidly looking 4-colours wires into black. BLack is the way to go ~ ~ !



Bought some sugar paper from popular yday (duno wad its called ), and made something for heatsink and battery

Heatsink photos : done :







oh painted the connectors as well =D

Fan mod



Arctic Cooling F12 Fan, too bad i dont know how to take off the blade from the shaft . . . . .
Have you guys noticed any difference with this fan in the above picture ?

Here you go ! :







Too bad i spoilt one of my arctic F12. . . ........sigh . . . .

Not exactly my own idea though

But the result was satisfying.. .. more touch up to do on the fan

^hardcore...
even fan case aso can cut-cut like that lulz...

Well, for the sake of my eye

Ok, I've done some touch up for the fans, this should be the final version





Smoothen the edges and surfaces, change to black sticker, clean the fan blade with acetone, sleeving etc.

Done, but sleeved temporally finished, so gotta order more , well, maybe i should try out some topazzle sleeve instead of ordering from mdpc-X

try carbon fiber and compare

This post has been edited by topazzatale: Feb 24 2012, 04:17 PM

Lol dat was fast bro topazzle =D. Well tOo bad carbon aren't my theme here, gonna go for some smooth looking feeling. So perhaps try out some black sleeves, was hoping u could give me some good discounts =D

black restock now. will available early march

won't trimming the F12 fan frames affect the fans performance?
did the fan wobble or vibrate when running?

Well good news for me =D

The fans will be secure by screws the same way it does like when it's original. So there wun be any vibration. For fan performance, I m not sure how it will affect, the fan attached to the rotor, the rotor did not encounter any mod. Well if u said the reduction in performance is due to cutting of the casing, well there is a possibility, but from my perspective, I dont think it will show any obvious decrement in performance. Just my opinion though=D

any good news for us? lol...in this case, any updates? xD

haha bro, currently busying with studies, been looking for parts as well...=D
waiting for topazzle for sleeves =)).... will update soon

Dosent matter have se.. sleeve...

Will have some great news today =)) will upload some graphic cards photos =D

Waiting

Originally i was intend to remove only the stickers, and use the ori nvidia gts 450 wihtout stickers of any brand, however, acetone had someone spoiled the finishing of the plastic cover, am forced to paint it Meanly, i also cleaned everything before painting as this is an used graphic card.

Well, the result turn out to be ok, its abit hard to paint some part while leaving others totally unaffected. here are the results:





Hope u guys like it =D

This post has been edited by shuhong90: Mar 11 2012, 05:25 PM

whats the original vendor for that graphic card? leadtek?

evga

waiting news from ts..upload more pic

haha needa wait after this, busy with my final year project ~

So if we put acetone on plastic it will melt or something?

i guess u need to carefully apply it..and slowly
but in the end, what u did aint that bad as well..got plan to put the EVGA name back?

I m not sure. Bt certainly there are some reaction with the surface finishing.

Nah, nt gonna put it. This I jz a painting and cleaning, not sure gonna mod it further or leave it be.

Bought a silverstone essential 500W a while ago, took the psu apart, clean off all the stickers, blown off the dust within~
remove ugly fan grill ~~





Well, needa do more touch up still. but in the mean time, the ugly cables ! ! !

to mend those ugly cables, i need all these ! ! !









first thing first, cut off EXTRA PCIE CABLE ! COVER THE CUT PART WITH INSULATION MORE TO CUT STILL !



LEGENDARY FIRST CABLE ! ! ZZZ LIGHTINGS ARE REALLL BAD

FOR WHITE SLEEVING, I COVER IT WITH WHITE PVC TAPE, FOR WHITE TO LOOK WHITER !



First PCIE cable done





today progress stop with 24 pin ATX, lighter out of fuel =,=

oh ya, I did cut some 3mm white and 5mm transparent acrylic a few days ago, campus has all the tools

Huhuhu.. u cut that pcie?
I think u should grab semi/modular psu..

budget build as i mentioned in the first post. a HTPC doesnt need a super powerful graphic card. in fact i m gonna cut more cables.

Eh last time i saw ss 500w bronze+ modular rm25+.++ only

lol, i ask around like whole msia, takda carry lagi lol.... bought this current psu around 100+ only lol

Added on April 11, 2012, 8:03 amBtw, i thought u going to make it volkswagen-themed mod... yea, that name -> scirocco

This post has been edited by Ulysses: Apr 11 2012, 08:06 AM

Err different kind of acrlycis. with LED strips.


Scirocco is a type of wind which causes hurricane in europe. jz a name =)

regarding cutting the fan out. the fan will be losing efficiency if it is pushing air though a heatsink or other fin type devices since the part that TS cut acts like a duct or shroud to redirect air straight forward. but seeing he is only using it as an exhaust fan the efficiency shouldn't have drop much.

Project completed ! ~ pictures will be up soon !

some teaser =))

Incoming

dats super awesome!!!
i want top view please

Hey man, may I know where can I get the black sleeves to hide those colourful cables? Thanks

lol sorry, pc is not with me lol, delivered to my mom XD

hi, u can get from topazzle (farbricate by himself), or u can get it from mdpc-x

nicely done... well done bro..

lol for the topazzle.... huhuhu. nice skill bro. me tergoda want to change color for my rig edy....

Thank u =)

Haha thanks for the kind words bro, if u need pictures in ur sales thread jz take it from here =)) lol bt too bad the led light are way too bright.

Where did u get white acrylic?

Jalan pasar banyak..u can even customize it..hahah

Bt there are also some forumer sell it here in LYN casing and modification thread

cool

Thanks for the clarification

Thanks

thumbs up dude... cool pc for mom's usage....

Cool pc for cool mom ?

very nice rig....

cool and neat mod bro......

bro how u cut the plastic, and how u paste the word on it?

can teach?

Maybe he knows someone who's working in laser cutting factory...that would be easy if he does..
Autocad and 1 laser cutting machine and 15 minutes the plastic is done =D

I think the word is laser engrave one.

yap

preceisely

How you sleeve non modular psu?
You cut the wire from the psu the soldering it back?

LOl, it wont be that tedious bro, jz open ur psu, sleeve everything den closed it agn, why desolder it ? u wont even need to.

Sleeve starting from molex right? Sorry im noob. Hihihi

no prob, everyone started with 0 knowledge and gradually learn. don afraid to ask

FYI, err molex its a type of connector. u can open the psu, as well as de-pin the cable from connector, den u put the sleeve in, then u apply heat shrink near the pin, as well as the end of wire being soldered in the psu (dont worry, when u close the psu cover, everything will be hide inside, leaving nicely sleeve cable. NExt, put the pin inside back to the connector, done. one word of advice, u might encounter problem in closing psu cover, as the sleeve increase volume of cable. u i would advice make the cable output hole by dremelling. or u could try cutting off unused cable, den heatsrink the cut-ed area. that will yield the best result.

If u are afraid of voiding warranty, u can sleeve without opening the psu cover, bt result wont be as nice though. u will see uneven heatsrink at the psu output hole. to solve that, u can buy extra large heatsrink at ACE hardware, which enclosed all the uneven heat srink, will look nicer and still keeping warranty .
