Another person in support of LSDiodes. They're great people and bag everything up in small bags seperately and labeled for you. They even put all that inside an anti-static bag and give you free LEDs and junk if you buy enough. Plus they have about anything you could ever want.
Still a...
Just got finished today. Tomorrow cutting holes behind monitor for wires. My other computer and 15" LCD (currently the thing wrapped in that red towel) will be going in to the right of this one. There will also be a piece above this monitor installed tomorrow.
It's a big L desk that covers...
Yeah man, I'm gonna get some 12,000 mcd white LEDs from them, about 10.
Gonna light the sucker up GOOD! :D
So no one has any comments about my case? I know it doesn't look the most creative or best executed, but it took me probably 5-10 hours. *sniff sniff* :( :(
<edit> oh, and I plan...
Well, I took some pics tonight. I'm not the best at taking pics so please bear with me :p
The pictures with the paper is showing how the picture might be there. Can you see how tight of a fit that plexi is!? I'm so lucky I didn't go like even an extra cm.
Whaddya think? I...
Update update update!
I painted the edges red and left the rest black. I also did the front LED mod and changed the default color ring from green to red. This was about 2 days ago.
Today, I went to Lowes and got some plexi for the box. I got the right dimensions and it barely fits ontop...
Wait, you went in for an interview with em!? THEY'RE HIRING!? I wish I lived in xx (I don't know where they are, but I doubt it's Arizona :( ).
Anyways, that's awesome info. I hope you don't get sued or anything man! Thanks for sharing and now I think it's time you run to the government...
Hmm, I can't decide on colors, but I gotta paint it tonight.
And his site is Halo Vision, not halo dex :P
Or maybe you meant that was the guy's name? Anyways, yeah, I'm gonna ask his permission ofcourse, but I'll have the ability to swap out pictures at any time :D
So, overall, I...
Well tonight, I bought 4 cans of spray paint. Krylon Fusion black and white, Krylon Gray, and this other company Candy Apple Red.I've been considering some options for my paint scheme, but I can't decide. Here's my basic setup (photoshop since I STILL haven't gotten my camera back).
Here...
Errrmmm, I'm not sure how you subscribe. They only let you subscribe to certain magazines depending on what field you work in?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Yes yes, I know, it's CompUsa, but damn this SFF LOOKED GOOD.
It was about a grand and looked like a REALLY small version of delbert (i think that was the user's name?) 's old small box.
It was aluminum, had a black laptop dvd drive, and felt REALLY HOT, hahaha.
Anyone else seen this...
Nice job man! I can't cut stuff like that and I've 'attempted' like 3 or 4 cuts already, hehe.
You should be proud! Sanding sucks ass, good luck with that! I hate doing that. I'd pay some $15 to sand down my rough edges, heh.
Oooh pretty. I like the way it turned out. It'd look really nice with a white or red CC up top IMO.
All up to you though man. That wiring is KICK ASS! Looks like you put a lot of time into it.
Wow, this thread got a lot more attention than I thought it would! That's a really nice looking white box man!
I recently cut most of the X part of the Xbox out with my dremel, but I still need to sand it and paint it a dark gray with white highlights. What I'm going to put in the cut out X...
Updates Updates Updates pleeeeease!
I wanna see more of this thing! Looks like it'll be great when it's done! I never fully played any of the Zelda's, but the GB version and Ocarina of Time were great from what I played.
Ah I see. Yeah, I read about console modding and crap like that and they use 15 W ones because they don't wanna b0rk their mobos I guess, haha. Never too careful.
I guess the wattage you need depends on the application :)
I heard that 15 watt soldering irons are choice. Anything higher might be overkill. I actually have a 40 watt one, but I don't know. I wish I could find a much finer tip for it.
And yes, I hate the guns as well. Gimme a soldering "wand" (:rolleyes:) any day of the week over a soldering gun.
Man I salute you just for FOLLOWING through with your mod. I have about 2 or 3 of my "first mod" cases that I bought and "modded" sitting in my room. AHAHAHAHA modded my ass. I messed them up so bad, I dared not put anything in them.
You have a lot more respect for people's work if you...
Thanks a lot man! LMK with a PM in the future. :D
I was thinking about using a darkish gray for a plastic project of mine and I'm not too great at the whole sanding and priming stuff. I think Fusion would probably be the best thing for an amateur painter such as myself, but I can't find...
I was JUST about to link you to his rig. That is the definition of jealousy and envy right there. So, freaking, beautiful.
Me want me want me want :( :( :(
3 PART SERIES ON CONSOLE MODDING!? LMK PLEASE!!!
I reeeeeeeeally wanna see more console mods, since the consoles are just much more inexpensive computers that are kind of limited (hardware and app wise). I don't know why there aren't more console mods out there, seriously! People are afraid...
I was thinking about doing just that with my xbox. The luXor case. I was gonna have a problem making it look flush with the fans and cd drive and stuff, but I came up with an okay concept.
I was gonna put fans at the bottom and have them push air out (the pyramid would probably have feet)...
I just started hacking up my case today. Cut out a NICE BIG X and I think I might go about doing the same thing bonzanego did with his Shuttle; high gloss paper printed on and lit up with LEDs.
Well at least that's what I THINK I remember him saying. I wish my digital camera was here...
