dude this looks fantastic..... love it..... its shinyyyy
 
I'm glad to see there are still TRUE modders out there. I get so sick of seeing computers made from bought parts and no elbow grease being called "modded." Your work looks great, keep it up.
 
Great work with the connection of the CC inverters. I have been trying to decide how to deal with a bunch of mine and how to house them, this looks great!!

I will probably do mine in a bar that hides somewhere like this

All of the in plugs on one side, and all of the out plugs on the other, in an approx 1'x1"x1" box tube.
 
lol I just find it funny you sleeved the internal wires >_<

Either way, it looks really clean, and you're spending your time on it.

Better than Hey I bought a bunch of crap from newegg.. .watch me put it together :D!

Which is all I've honestly done, but I build computers to use them :)

Thank you! :) The 1' x 1" x 1" sqaure tube sounds like a good plan. Don't forget to give it some ventilation. Some mesh or a few larger holes drilled above the transistors on the invnerters should work unless you don't plan to have them lit that often.

Thanks for the tip, yeah I have some old cc's with a permenant stink of electronics heat :D

If I were building a large custom case I might even consider laying it along mobo side of the case out of sight with a small side duct inc. from the front 120mm fan ala diagram.

Well didn't that turn out sexy!

I'm a bit worried at the voltage tollerances of those parallel ports... I'm not sure if they can handle the 50kvac without arcing...

Only one way to find out!
 
Not to Hijack but,

Are you talking about arcing as you place the plugs together and damaging the ports itself? Because yes the CCFL tube wires will arc as you plug them into the inverter so possibly in this application as well.
 
Might be two years old, but its the first time ive seen it LOL
very nice job on the case there cipher, keep it up! :)
 
Oooh! Oooh! HURRY FINISH!!!

That is evolving quite nicely... can't wait to see finished project!

Silly old Gateway tower.
