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
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.....
- 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
- wirings !!!
- 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
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......
