summer ( exams too ) is back, and I haven't finished the damn case :D I guess I'll have time after my finals which are in 2-3 weeks till then ;)

as I told you, it's useless now since I've figured out the pinouts. But thanks for the help anyway :D

I did check that site ( along every philips related site I could find ) with no luck ( also, I don't think I'd find datasheets for LCDs in the semi conductors branch ;) and me saying "Philips tech support didn't give a shit" is based on the 3 months of waiting for an answer to my emails (...

Since Phillips tech support didn't give a shit about my request for help, I tried using the LTE072T-50 datasheets to guess pinouts, and successfully wired the LCD to my 9800 Pro TV-Out. Both LCDs are pin compatible, thus making it easier ( only needed to guess a few wires from the connector...

Just my 2 cents about that case, I wouldn't waste my time on it, since it's rather ... flimsy, as told before ... hard to work on without warping pannels & stull like that ... but, if you really want to do it ^^;

In a somewhat kamikaze manner, I tried to power one of the LCDs up ... I was lucky ( and cable color codes for ground and +12V seem to follow logic ) and the display lit itself up ... 8 wires to go I now have to figure out the following cables : blue - green - grey - white - purple -...

I just scavenged a couple of 7" 16/9 LCD displays from a mobile DVD systems installed on a Ford Galaxy, and I've looked everywhere on the net for datasheets so I could hook them up on a computer ( either through TV out or VGA with/without VGA -> composite adapter ) with no luck... Has any of...

It's a mountain mods case, if you wanna know. I once purchased an Aluminum Mobo tray, and am very happy with it. They are truly professionnal, I can only recommend them :) edit : link

that's quite an interresting setup, I look forward to hearing more from this :)

actually, I think it's a V1000B

Nice mod - even though it's a shame it's not a Mac anymore, there's a certain charm about G4 cubes I can't explain ^^; Also, I've been looking @ G4 cubes too, and prices are outrageous ( like, 600$ for an old 400MHz, 1000-1500$ for an upgraded one :/ )

my point exactly, and the DDR400 is cheaper too ;)

get DDR400, it's not much different in price compared to DDR333 or DDR266, and will work fine. If your mobo only supports FSB533 cpus, get one of these ( P4B ) and not a P4C, otherwise the CPU will run at a much lower speed than spec'd, thus ruining the point of having it.

Painting is put on hold till weather improves ( crappy rain + frequent near 0°C temps make it a bad time to do some serious painting ... not to mention 70% min humidity ) meanwhile, I think I'll get working on my Tachikoma mod, and maybe see if my Alphaserver 4100 works or not, in which case...

that is one cheap prize for such a nice job ... :D

any update on that mod coming soon FLECOM ? :)

too many leds for my taste, otherwise, nice looking mod ;)

it's funny to see what "constructive criticism" means to some ppl here ( which obviously sounds close " say it's good or that you like it otherwise don't post " I myself don't like that, it fits in my "tasteless stuff", but I guess most of you guys would rather have " constructive criticism " :D

I think it's an etching, and not a sticker .. also, I might have sounded sarcastic, but you were asking for estimates, right ? that's what we gave you, and they differ depending one's tastes - as for myself, I don't hate blue leds & ccfls, I just don't like "riced" cases, which doesn't really...

I don't want to sound mean, but mods are pretty personal ( especially yours ) and 'cept for canadians that like near stock cases with blue lights all over the place, you'll never get more than 70$ .. and I'm quite generous :P

looks nice, even though I would bondo' up some more to make a smoother transition ( slope instead of right angle drop on the back parts of the extensions )

Nice one, I scavenged the same case ( 486 server ) and stripped it's innards out, now houses my fileserver, with room for more than 20 drives :)

snowball's chance in hell I'd say ^^;

I like where this is going, I'll watch any progress ! XD keep on this way ;) Off Topic : good luck FLECOM with your G4 cube :)

I tried out sketchup, supposedly a simple tool, but it's way too limited and innacurate to be effectively used ... surprizingly, Bit-tech forum users like it, some some dark reasons I guess On Nokytech forum - french - they prefer Solidworks - better in terms of precision/industry...

BTX is like a dead end design, partly because of the heat management shortcomings, and alse due to its lack of agreement between parties ( AMD clearly stated that this design was majorly incompatible with their A64 platform designs, because of the increased distance between CPU & memory sockets...

Nice butcher work with the powertools, I like your style ! :D

Needless to say, it really looks like crap :D

That's a shame ... note, I've heard about a DFI mini ITX Pentium-M board, which would be a killer setup for your Udat ... but the price tag would also belong to another realm ... edit : here's a pic : there's a review of that motherboard ...

Pannels are getting prepped for paint, will post pics soon ( debumping + sanding + primer stages now, currently waiting for the paint :D )

clear sunk vinyl sheeting looks like this : http://www.tekido.com/sample_cooler_lucifer.htm

It used to be a Poweredge 2300 actually, with some proprietary ethernet connectors Dual Ethernet, onboard ATI Rage, SCSI all the way, etc ...

hmm, performance wise, the epia wouldn't be my choice :) I'd rather go for those sweet Pentium-M mini ITX boards intead :D

Too much bling bling for my taste ...

This is damn too sweet ( despite my deep hatred towards windows & neons :D )

actually, while being labeled as 1U PSU, shuttle ones are shorter in length, most 1U rack PSUs are longer by 5-10 cms :)

oh, about that 1U PSU, I'd rather suggest you to think about getting a Shuttle compatible PSU instead. they are more or less the same size factor, only shorter, I got one on my firewall ( a P3 800 inside a SparcStation IPX lunchbox case ) it's really great :)

Yeah !! But I've been delaying this project for too long, and since I can get most materials for free, and I got a MIG recently, I see no reason I shouldn't do it :D

Little suggestion : if you can, go for a sunk vinyl sheet for the panel designs, that's what I'm planning to do on my case : Sand, primer, sand, primer, sand, paint, paint, sand, apply 1st coating , sand, apply 2d coating layer & insert vinyl print on the panel while still liquid - must be...

don't you EVER stop modding ? looks nice though :D
