wow, nice fans.
so ur final product gonna include some fancy controller for the LEDs also?

i am planning to build a PWM based circuit to control the brightness of the LEDs....
total of 6 sets to be exact, or 18 channels laugh.gif or 18 knobs rclxub.gif

3 channel for each fan, 4 fans in total, and 2 strips of RGB LED consists of 24LEDs per strip....

dude, u must be some wiring expert la.
i also wanna do the same thing but am unsure of how the circuitry will be. mind sharing with me?

laugh.gif i seriously dont know what to say man......you're really creative man notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

there are a lot of money wasted into developing the working product, but looks like nobody eager to share the loss with me, but a lot of people are eager to know how i do it laugh.gif

yep, sharing is caring of course, but what have you shared with others ?
i share my creativity and ideas with others, isnt that good enough ?

i'm still doing my mechatronics dood...it's doesnt have to take a electronic/electrical graduate to do all this......

thats why i dont know how to continue, i can wire all the fans together and the lights with a different light control, but i want rainbow colours inside my PC, not just the same colour for all the fans

AllnGap is a LED substrate name, Aluminium, Indium, Gallium and Phosporus.

i need to clarify something
#1, i'm still studying
#2, i was never an Agilent worker before laugh.gif

i just know this model of LED (Prometheus) from their brochues only, the rest i dont know

I love LEDs,

maybe u can figure out a combination where you can connect the led terminals in a series or parallel manner so that u can produce the same combination of colors with fewer controls. Fewer controls, but the connections not easy also rclxub.gif

guys, i've done something onto me CDROM and i've completed my dual ram cooler which is temperature controlled, but too bad i dont have the camera with me right now...

i'll update around thursday okies....


i've summed up a checklist of what i still got to do......and it's really long doh.gif

for top panel :
- cut a 92mm fan grill using tinted acrylic
- add another layer of paint
- put double sided tape to stick acrylic firmly
- spray interior of the top panel

for ram cooler :
- solder the thermistor lead out and extend it.
- solder 3 pin connection and sleeve the cables

for motherboard :
- single 60mm cooling for PWM area, using motherboard mounts, extend the thermistor and let it touch the PWM heatsink
- mod the 40mm SUNON fan and add bling bling on it.
- buy chipset heatsink
- put 40mm fan to blow onto the heatsink base
-

for PSU :
- change the rear fan into a blower setup, L acrylic pipe like roofing ventilation system
- add 80mm fan to the front.
- add multi-colour LED onto the 92mm fan
- change the 92mm fan if possible, coz it's barely spinning.
- cable sleeving
- get UV connectors.
- remove those unnecessary cables


for heatsink :
- make a design for the top fin/ remove the fugly glue stain
- get 8mm ' nut stud ' for the heatpipes, Scythe Ninja style
- make acrylic duct to get better airflow


for GPU :
- wire out the thermistor n touch the heatsink
- run the power from the main.

for HDD bracket :
- throw away the old bracket, cut another bracket and make design for it.
- drill holes for the bottom part.

for side panel (left) :
- cut a bigger window, as big as possible
- frosted flame design
- 92mm for the side panel
- temperature sensors if it's suitable
- trim the edges to make way for 127mm Delta tri-blade, 200cfm

for side panel (right) :
- cut 2x 80mm fan holes for panaflo 80mm L model
- frosted flame design

for interior :
- spray to flat black, make a box to hide the messy cables.
- make the PWM circuit into a design or hide it
- spray the delta-tri-blade 127mm to white, blade and the inner circular frame only.
- add multi-colour LEDs for the tri-blade.
- use black sponge to cover the PCI and the whole interior

for front panel :
- hide the ugly front part
- cut unnecessary parts, hide circuits over there.
- align knobs, vandal switches nicely, graphical LCD as well
- trim front panel to put in the CDROM

exterior :
- spray the back and the bottom part to black, find wheels to replace the current rounded plastic stands.
- put some lightings for the bottom

problems :
- 1x industrial blower, dont know where to put it
- wiring planning..... rclxub.gif
- 320*240 graphical LCD
- a lot of controls involved, 3x 92mm fan, 1x 127mm exhaust, CPU fan, lighting controls, 1 x blower speed control...
- no time doh.gif
- wirings !!! rclxub.gif
- PWM circuit involves 3x [ 3 channels RGB ] , 2x for lighting purposes, 1x for all the fans, 1x for 127mm, 1x for the blower exhaust.


hmmm......i cant believe that my to-do list is so long doh.gif
let me count how many knobs do i have

3 knobs for RGB, 3 sets of RGB
1 for 127mm
1 for 92mm CPU
1 for blower exhaust

total of 3*3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12 knobs !!!!

and 2x vandal switch for the reset and power

I am starting to think to wire everything into a controller box which is separate from the casing coz it's gonna make the casing look so complicated and messy......

okay, i've been using around 2 days to complete all these mod, and my battery out of juice, so i cannot show you guys my pimped 200cfm delta tri-blade which is uver cool doh.gif


so this is my old Liteon CDRW........I've made a window and added around 20pcs of LEDs inside.

The LEDs comprises of [ blue ] - [ white ] - [ white ] - [ blue ]- [ white ] - [ white ] - [ blue ]- [ white ] - [ white ] - [ blue ] ........
I purposely do it this way since pure white is too dull, and pure blue is way too ah beng...so i've decided to make it look like HID colour which is white with a blueish tone...

actually, this mod is not that hard because all the metal part of the drive can be removed. but becareful not to damage the circuit behind and particularly the disc head.

I'll put back the front bezel once i've completed my front panel design

see the array of LEDs inside ? the one with the yellow colour will emit white colour


user posted image


okay, money shot !!! It will look dimmer under my top panel, but it'll be cool i guess.
my initial plan was to make the colour change when it's reading, but i was too lazy to hook up the front LED to make it work....

this is the complete metal work on my casing, i'm not going to cut any metals on it anymore......

I've cut off some parts from the front panel, made the left side panel bigger, made a window on the right side panel, trim the rear part of the left side panel.....

and all is ready for the acrylic and some design to be installed inside !!!!

i've also finished up the spray job on the whole casing, the interior is black and i will cover it with sound absorbing material.....not capalang stuff !!!! flex.gif

The areas that i dont spray will not be seen when everything is assembled

Finally, i think my coping saw has not disappoint me at all despite i break a lot of saw blades......the window is not crooked and i think the rounded edges are quite good also....

Okay, time for my new design !!!

Dual 60mm NMB, thermal controlled ram coolers.....

I'll finish up the ugly wiring and connect the thermal sensors to my rams to make the temperature control thing working again.....


my Titan heatsink top is damn ugly, but i will do something about it very soon.......


user posted image

These are the money shots........actually i've assembled everything inside my casing before and it looks great !
The whole dark area under the CPU will be lighted up and the UV yellow effect is there !!!

I'll be using this to replace my chipset heatsink tomorrow.......and might be making a 60mm PWM cooler which is located beside the heatsink to cool those mofsets
