    I got some mods installed..Need some advice...

    Instead of typing out an entire guide on how to solder right now, I'd rather just ask you to google "How to Solder" and start reading. In a nutshell, get some 18ga wire. Cut your wire. Cut the desired length of wire to be added from the 18ga wire. Strip all ends to be attached Tin...

    Pigtail impedance ?

    I don't think the big ol electrolytic caps that are in the 1000uF range are used in timing either, but rather as power reserve for the processor. As such, I don't think you'll have impedance issues. However, you may have some voltage drop, resistance of the wires, or some other effect that...

    I got some mods installed..Need some advice...

    Extending the wires isn't difficult, and just requires some heatshrink, wire, solder, and a soldering iron. If you know of any electronics guys, they should be able to do this without a problem. Back in the day, I used to do this by just cutting and stripping wire, twisting it together, and...

    New hole in CM Cosmos :)

    Looks like great work! I sometimes hear of people recommending dremels for cutting windows, and I can never figure out why. A jigsaw is really the way to go. Good idea about the hot glue to attach the window as well.

    [Problem] A resistor on a 3850 256MB!

    Finding out what happened would be a bit difficult to do. I'd start by looking and testing for resistances around the area that you shorted. It is very likely that you broke a component (you can't always tell by just looking), and that part or several parts need to be replaced. I don't...

    Will more memory conflict with high fsb?

    Hmm. I'm not sure. What northbridge do you have? In the olden days, adding more ram used to lower the max FSB speed, but I'm not sure if it is like that anymore (I doubt it). I guess I don't understand your question. What do you mean when you say your FSB is pretty much "maxed out?" I...

    Will more memory conflict with high fsb?

    In a nutshell, yes, adding more capacity makes it harder to achieve a high overclock. You've got that many more parts that have to perform out of spec, and that's what causes the trouble.

    Not enough power from USB ports

    USB connectors have a 5V, Ground, and Data lines. The 5V is the standard old 5V, so it won't confused the computer at all. The wiring could be tricky if you don't have any previous exposure. There are powered USB hubs available, and that would probably be the route that I'd go for this one.

    How to monitor home power consumption???

    In order to do this, you'll need a logging device. I'm thinking the cheapest way to do this would be with a logging multimeter, but even these go for several hundred dollars. The price only goes up from there. If I were in your shoes, that's where I would start out.

    I got some mods installed..Need some advice...

    As far as where to put the inverters, two sided tape works well. For placement, look at your case and just imagine. 3.5 or 5.25 inch bays work well, but there are other locations that could work too. Keep in mind though, that you want to place it somewhere that does not interfere with...

    Does this case have potential ? "Chenbro"

    I agree, that case does have potential, but how much time, effort, money, blood, sweat, and tears are you willing to invest in it? If none, then I'd junk it unless you have a specific need in mind.

    Fans 3 / 4 Pin Power Connector Question

    I'm a little leary of this. Reason being, The 5V line is designed to source current to your components. In this 12V -> 5V configuration, it will be sinking current. I don't know how these power supplies are designed, but I'd look into that first before doing this mod. That, or just let other...

    LCD wire diagram?

    Sounds like you've got everything you need to get started! Good luck and I'm interested in what you are able to turn that thing into!

    LCD wire diagram?

    If I were in your shoes, I'd look for a manufacturer's part number or some other kind of identifying mark on the LCD. It will take power, ground, and have some data wires so you can send data to it, and maybe so it can send data to you. As far as if they are similar, I'm not sure, but I'd...
