[retardedchicken]

i never really had a problem with the Xaser's

is that your new night light because DAMN its bright

looks good though

[Tt Ownage]

I have no problem with the lights.. it's just the fan noise that keeps me up :D

Going into water cooling in a few weeks hopefully :(

[Thaddy]

How do you sleep with that thing on at night! Wow she's bright man!

I have a soft spot for silver/blue, and I like your case. My previous Cheiftec had the silver/bue treatment, as does my current Lian-Li.

From what I see on the outside, it doesnt look bad at all man. How about posting some pics of the inside?

[Z3Px]

what kind of cathodes are in there that put out such a spot light!
great lookin comp!

[Killermac]

Like the case and the indicators.

*cough* (http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/ex-wat-09.html)


No offense, but I would get everything under control in that case before you even THINK of putting a WC setup in there.

As far as what you have now... it's too much for my tastes, but if you like it.. more power to you.

[Tt Ownage]

well i guess u pplz only demand perfection...

i was going to clean all the wires / tuck them away when i get my WC set up but i guess i'll do it now...

well not NOW.. but soon

[aaacbada]

very sweet. great work.

I wouldn't call tt aquariusII watercooling, since it performs worse than aircooling.. :)

[1337m0dd3r]

those cases still arn't in my very best intrests but so far your's is the second one that I have seen that I like, but still it doesn't matter what other people think of your case its what you like that matters ;) but none the less great job on it.:D

[Tt Ownage]

Ever since i put UV cathodes in there.. the brightness of my case really went down and now it give me a glow look...

i really like the results.. :)

[NOTD665]

Total Townage? What the fuck is that?

I give you -48 points off for your sig, -50 off for that pos glowing thing sitting on your desk, and +1 points for your desktop, because I'm partial to Home Star Runner. That brings your coolness factor down to -97. Better luck next time tiger.

and about the case the uv shot looks a lot better than the blue which was bright. i wonder what your neighbors thought as they walked by your house with blue light streaming from every window and crevice of the building :D

[jwill]

i usully dont like the look of thermaltake cases but yours is the cleanest thermalright setup ive seen, well done. :)

what do you mean?

learn what?

[jwill]

the psone mod.

[Tt Ownage]

well there's no real mod to it...

basically i chop off the case.. take the innerds and connct it to my xbox.

i used the following items...


http://www.sexymodz.com/cable.jpg
To connect to the psone LCD screen


and

http://www.sexymodz.com/blah.jpg
to connect such things as xbox. dvd player, and video card when it comes...

[jwill]

pretty simple, thanks. :)

[Tt Ownage]

yep... people just make u think it's hard....

:D

lol

i used my old video card to hook up the video to it .. it worked when booting the computer up but it doesn't have a driver for windows xp or 2000 so it shuts down by itself...

also i decided to use the switch becuz i plan on adding my playstation and such on it..

it was fun to play tetris on the little lcd while i died at cs


:D

[Adango]

TT, how did you power that thing?

Can you give me a link to the adaptor you have to buy to hook it up to other systems such as a PS2 or Xbox?

[Tt Ownage]

i got al the itmes i usedfor this on ebay

psone lcd
psone cable
av selector

[HRslammR]

take the grillguard off the volcano 11+. it'll help for much better airflow and general noise reduction.

[Adango]

I've been trying to find that damn cable everywhere, all I can find is the official Sony one.

I think I might go with a 3rd party LCD that has built in RCA jacks.

Great tip! very much increased air flow and the noise really IS down... ty :)

also to Adangus

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3073664896&category=21184

[Adango]

Thanks TT....

That'll be perfect...

[SirShaw]

yah, how did you power that thing?

[Tt Ownage]

to answer your question, i have powered it by just the adapter that came with the lcd.. less work for meh :P

ok folks quick update on the front page

:)

new desktop pic

http://www.sexymodz.com/desktop.jpg

Notice the aquarium that is now added...
I just got it a few days ago and i m going to put some fishes in it soon....

time for some glowing blue fish ;)

[i3lacKnyte]

yeah some of those blue glowing tetra's, commonly reffered to as neon tetras at pet stores would be the perfect addition to your office there heh

[Tt Ownage]

i heard they were trying to make those illegal now tho..

and i haven't been able to find any...

grrrr

/me stares at the empty aquarium

[i3lacKnyte]

illegal! more information please if you have it, i love those little guys :(

i dont know of any other fish that glows blue that could possibly match your setup there, i do believe their is an aquarium sub forum under [H]obbies, if you want to post there maybe they can help.

[SB22]

Haha, i have a similar aquarium. Small 10gallon w/ blue/black rocks and that exact same hood. Mine's been running for about 2 years now though. You need to get some live plants, they'll fill up your aquarium nicely ;)

[darktiger]

Looks a lot better.

[SirShaw]

just a word of advice on that aquarium you got there, seeing in how I've had a tank since I was 12 (20 now :) ) you should drain it and put a towel or something under it between the desk and the bottom of the tank or it is going to ruin the finish on your nice desk there. Aquariums dont leak but they "sweat" and give of just enough condensation to ruin a good finish, so some kind of barrier is a good idea. Just my two cents :D

[Tt Ownage]

ok i will do that.. since i decided to go with a salt water instead of fresh water anways.

and yes.. i did paint that myself.... you can take it off my screw and just paint the whole thing without worries..
then put it back on

[Tt Ownage]

and more updates...

http://www.sexymodz.com/newsetup.jpg

http://www.sexymodz.com/newdesktop.jpg

the reason why i updated is becuz i decided to move my room around...

basically i moved everything so i don't have to do a 360 to watch tv.. and to have more room...

but i noticed that my pc was very close to the tv now.. so tada..

big ass screen that's only good for games... lol

i can't read any small fonts on that pos tv...

hrmmm time for an upgrade on the tv ;)

[TheGamerZ]

I can't read anything on my 20" flat screen either, but it beats my 17" CRT monitor for gaming goodness :)

[heyheyhey]

Samsung 61" anyone? (Pick me up one too :))

[Tt Ownage]

ok now i m officially done with the LCD portion of my box...

Winamp visual in action..
http://www.sexymodz.com/visual.jpg


wallpaper background shrooms :)
http://www.sexymodz.com/LCDinfull.jpg


I m not doing anymore to it for a long time becuz i jsut bought a Asus 9800xt Pro and 3 XMS2 Corsair memory

so that costed me an arm and a leg...

but i couldn't resist these...
http://www.sexymodz.com/newfriends.jpg

[ratman69]

So you mention watercooling in your sig, but I've yet to see a picture of you wc setup? What gives? :)

I'll be putting WC in my Xaser as soon as all the parts come in, and I'm interested to see how you made it work.

[xfoureyedgeek]

Nice case. Very tidy and neat. The glowing tetras are have neon injected into them which is cruel. :D to setup :mad: to neon tetras. :eek:

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing them, but if your friend is in Korea, I'll probably have mine done before you get your camera back. :)

its carbon fiber

[Tt Ownage]

and the "purdy" lcd is a psone lcd

;)

[ThePianoMan]

how'd you connect the lcd?

[Tt Ownage]

composite RCA from video card

[waddles]

TT is nothing but ogreish. :cool:

That being said, yours looks significantly less so.

I never thought I'd say this about a Xaser but... *gulp*... looks nice. :)

[ratman69]

Why did you go with green in the watercooling? You had kind of a blue theme before, why change it?

Check out my xaser. I got the watercooling in it and now I'm just waiting for my matrix orbital lcd to replace that useless hardcano unit.

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=751779

[Tt Ownage]

becuz green looks really better in person...

too much blue too...

i got yellow UV sleeved wires and green dye for water.. it realy looks great IMO

[hardwired]

your LCD in the window is cool, but I think it would be more useful in the front where you can see it. there is a massive cable-forest in your drive cages and at the bottom, for which you need to stop playing with these frilly little rounded cables and do a proper tidy ribbon job. It's not 2001 anymore. Round cables are nonsense. Try and clean that up a bit so it doesnt look like there's so much going on. Case windows let people see what's going on in your case, so if theres a bunch of craziness its immediately apparent.

no matter what you do to it, it still looks just like a Tt, the looks of which arent for everyone, myself included. Then again, I hate case windows and LED fans in general, so perhaps its not the most constructive opinion. That having been said, at least you modded yours instead of leaving it alone, which is good. Good work on the watercooling, tho i cant agree with your choice of rad.

[DeViLdUdE]

And where can I get some of those carbon fiber?

[thebro]

how is your lcd displaying your stats?

[ThePianoMan]

s-video multi monitor, just like using a tv
