these things have been holding me for quite some time now, which is a PWM controller for my multi-colour LEDs for the lighting part.......

i've finally solved the problem once and for all, and do you know what's the problem ?
originally, the LEDs started to flicker like the monitor at lower refresh rate........i get really dizzy staring into it and i'm sure that i dont want that in my casing.......

so took some time to troubleshoot what is wrong with it...



as you can see here, there are 3 individual channels on each of the PCB....each channel control one colour of the RED, GREEN and BLUE.....
theoretically speaking, it can generate 23million colours, or any colour that you want !!!


I've made 3 sets of this controller set, 2 sets for general lighting and 1 for the fans....
i can actually make separate sets for each of the fans, but it's gonna make it look real messy cos each channel has got 3 knobs....and currently it's standing at 9 knobs for lighting only......



well, i have to admit that i'm an LED freak and i like lightings a lot....cant escape from the bling bling fever....

anyway, i've wired up 2 sets 24pcs of multi-colour LEDs with reflector stickers at the bottom and i'll place this like those CCFL in the casing...i'll build the stand for it soon......

helloooooo guys......

i've started modding my casing since last week and there has been some ups and downs.....

to start off with, i've replaced another 'mirror' acrylic for the top panel to replace the round hole with the exact blowhole of a focus flow....might mount a focus flow there, but i have yet to decide....

ok, here are all the things i intend to put in.......might increase the 92mm to around 5pcs in total...

right now, i'm covering the ugly part of my casing, which is because this is an ICUTE, a lot of components such as the rivets and metals get rusty pretty quickly.....

to give it the rolls royce shine, i had cover those parts with 'carpets' to make them shine......

i used those black insulation matt (not really sure what they are called) to cover the rear and the PCI parts.....

basically, i'm using two types here...one of it is the thick one, which is around 5mm thick to use as a base for the bottom of the casing which look a bit grey and another type which is more towards furnishing surface type of matt

user posted image


this is the rear part of the casing, frankly it's really ugly and the paint job was quite a shabby one too.....therefore i've decided to cover them up to make them look nicer and also to protect the surface from any form of scratches..

besides that, the matt will also act as a vibration absorber since i will mount my 127mm Delta tri-blade outside of the casing......the fan is mounted outside to give a cleaner look in the casing itself and it couldnt fit inside also

user posted image

i've also trimmed off some parts of the side panel because the side panel cannot be closed if it wasnt trimmed due to the 127mm fan.....

user posted image


alright, i'll just tear off the sticker off the matt and stick the whole sheet onto the rear...then i'll trim it using the art/sticker penknife.....it really comes in handy when you need to do some detailing trimming.....expensive as well because i need to trim off a lot of corners......if not mistaken, changed around 6blades just for the rear panel itself....

this pics shows the making of the blowhole

user posted image

this is for the PSU


user posted image


and the rest for the PCI and the I/O panel....


user posted image


as you can see in the pic, some part of the matt couldnt attach nicely because there are rivets behind it....so i had to use glue to close up that gap

user posted image


this is the complete (not yet completed actually) rear panel surface

i use black marker pen with a fine tip to cover all those white sticker which spoils the look.....

right now, i do have a lot of things to modify especially lightings fans and such...but my trademark frosted flame grill got KOed in the process of modding cry.gif cry.gif

I was really devastated by that man....worked so hard on it and i forgot that i already mounted on my casing.....when i turn the casing around, i tilt my casing and heard a crack !!! thats it !!! it's gone mad.gif mad.gif

right now, have to go on modding without that one.......have to leave that one for the last part....

user posted image


after i've screwed in the sidepanel, i realized that my sidepanel couldnt shut firmly because the matt is not compressible...hence i started trimming the matt again !!!

this is the interior of the casing which i used the 5mm black sponge to cover it....

do note that this is not the final layer which i will use for the flooring of the base.......

as i still have a lot of wirings to do, i will have to make way for the wirings through the sponge itself and cover it with another layer of black matt for the final surface..

user posted image

i've covered the 'sharkfin' vents using the black matt

this will be the final looks for the interior....

this is how it looks without flash.....the joint lines arent that noticeable under normal condition

Very nice work bro! Thinking of a design similar to yours (thanks for the inspiration) but without the flame design; prefer clean lines. Maybe will try it out later this year; will be my first adventure into case modding (or rather case building, as I plan to construct it from scratch)

I've mentioned this before-with no metal sheilding covering your PSU expect overclocking to suffer due to EM emissions from the PSU. If you're unlucky (I hope not), you may even have trouble keeping it stable at stock. Share your experience when you have time.

err.......my barton is still running at the OCed speed without a glitch....

btw i think i can run my PC at full load without a CPU fan blowing onto the heatsink.....my airflow is strong and efficient enough to do that already laugh.gif

QUOTE(dj.eRicZzz @ Mar 14 2007, 08:59 PM)
bro .i wan ask...how much is ur budget doing all this?
*
i have not really calculated yet.....but i think will go near to RM 600 at least.....the most expensive part is yet to be seen laugh.gif

i estimate that i'll have around 18knobs for lightings, 2 Vandal switch for RESET and POWER, a few knobs for the fan speed, a few flip switch for the pulsating lightings

there will be roughly around 90pcs of multi-colour LEDs and some Luxeons if i have the time to mod them laugh.gif

crap...one week left only....got to hurry up
