woahh... more than 30 days from my last updates?

what happen you might ask?

well a 2 week in Indon
then a wedding where I was the best man

then it just.... laziness..

any way
lets get right into it

Going to the cheap stuff
- Noctua Redux 140mm PWM
- Silverstone magnetic ultra fine filter
- 8 pin PWM splitter (not pictured here)


close up on the fan
nothing but the fan and 4 screws, cheap indeed


the filters


then this... jeng jeng jeng!


some more clue...






it's a magnetic strip
oneside with double sided tape and the other for sticking to steel surface

since the fan is not steel body
and it wont have any metal frame
guess I'll have to whip up something

so a simple cut to size and paste to the fan


then stick on the filter right?



NOOO!!!!!

stay tune to the next post!!!!
same time same day .... or maybe not

2nd part of the fans and filters updates...



this!

the filter mesh is soft
Initially, was thinking of putting some screws on the holes and let the filter stick to it

but that idea fell through,because
1. the magnet on the filter not exactly strong to hold on to such small surface
2. the closeness of the filter mesh (touching while not even turned on) makes it not ideal to have it run long term

so the Magnet sticker was suppose to help with these two issue

after done, still the mesh is close to the fan
and the magnet strips double sided tape is not exactly strong

so in come this.


sticky thick double sided tape

so it became like this


a magnet strip and thick d-s tape sandwich between the fan and the filter

much more clearance to the fan


DONE!!!





honestly speaking
I tried out running the fan while writing this post
and I found out sadly, @ 100% pwm control (supposedly 1500rpm)
the fan output seems muffle, hard

really put another spanner into the works....
maybe will add the 3rd fan+filter at the bottom to ensure that the internal is always positive pressure

Happy Thaipusam!
or rather yesterday

but with the long weekend

able to do some little things...

here it is!
the last time you will see these kind of pic





fuhhh...
don't do open table in an non-aircon room



my poor GTX 680 Lightning...

but no fear

some unscrewing






Close up
WHOA MAMA!!!! Can this be a fire hazard?!!


some more dismantling


then all black out

it got so dirty that no picture was taken

safe to say

use of soap water on soap-able part and CO contact cleaner for the electrical parts

So lets start with the assembly


Wubba Lubba Dub Dubs

everything assemble and ready for assembly...wait.. what's that?

again some missing pics

and we start here...





mobo in, PSU in, Fans install

now I'm at the part to cable management



HDD rack installed,
From top, 2TB WD red, 1x320GB Seagate, 2x2TB Samsung,





HDD Rack in, GC in


The problem with non-modular PSU


much better..


miles and miles of cables needed to be tucked some where...

Side panel Grand opening!




Hnnngghhhh...


hnnnggghhhHHH!!!!!!!!!


some minor wiring


side panel installed


Front panel, magnetically hold in place



Front profile pic


The back side panel


the back panel



Current status
- Due to CNY nearing, Have to clear out the area
- Waste of available parts at hand
- One of the fans on GTX680 stop intermittently due to dust

Next up
1. Add New CPU Cooler
2. Add another Fan-filter at the bottom, 1 exhaust at the back
3. Touch up here and there
4. New power wiring
5. ....

Main concern at this point was the system be able to run or not

heck the mobo was drench with the CO contact cleaner stuff
like the Moses Flooding

well...



it boot up fine...

and the cost of doing this





So today did some touch up on the system,

moved the SSD location



Placed in current locations

zzzz
all that Window and placed facing the wall


my style, close up



things that added


comparing to the top pic of this post
the USB, audio jack is place more integrated to the system

The look of the system in the dark

So
this is Considered Finished project

But there is still some updates to the project
and will update so

Wah......Finally......Respect man!!!!

Move the table to left side then move the case to the right side of the table instead. Then you can see all the nice transparent side.

wat for respect

a freaking lazy ass, procrastinating bum like me should have whipped, then watch me nayed-nayed

there is a power plug above the pc unit
that is connected with the Praying altar lights
this lights is turned on and off daily, twice

still some updates



maybe in near future will do some deep dark secrets of this build :ninja:

Done!








some quick simple updates for you guys

Haha, what I respect is u finally completed the case mod even though spend quite long.

Btw, good idea for using the coffee table, may I know the weight of the coffee table and is there any other colours available? Appreciate if u can provide some info bout it. Thx.

its from ikea

http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/70208450/

there is one more colour, white

iniitially intended to get some caster wheel to add directly to the bottom

then after finish installing the system, and a little search

found a suitable one

if you aren't looking a coffee table with wheels, there should be more selection

Thx man, for all ur sharing

Sigh.....Now for the dark secrets

The side panel fill of dings and scrapes


mark of a lame quality painting....


colour chipping here from the force installation


















sigh......

paint job not exactly what I'd imagine


then this


the part broke when drilled....
so some epoxy and a Al structure,
it will do for the mean time


On some other news

this is my Mouse pad now







Yep
Carbon fiber
the real deal here, sample molded pre-preg sheet

coupled with the G402 hyperion fury
owning it at CSGo

wow.. very nice

Happy CNY to all!

some planning for the new years

this item migh show up in some of the pictures





if not, this is a Ikea Poang Lazy Chair
http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/S29125684/

and then this..




hmmmmm....

Tadaa!




What it would looked like






tbc...

due to my love for Racing games NFS4Lyfe, Gran Turismo as well

and my recent purchase of Eurotruck Sim

and my two year old Logitech Driving Force GT, that been used less than 5 times

need to setup a table to use it properly

the original design was create 2 years back, coincide with the DFGT purchase

now with proper re-evaluation and redesign

finally have a buy list..








with this
i will buy the needed wood supply and do this, maybe.... another a year or 2 type of project.... again?

Good to see the case finally finished.
Really unfortunate for the paint scratches and the window panel is facing wall.

Good luck on your next project.
