More pics.

it that a fanbus that says "lo" when the fans are on low speed?

[SniperXX]

I dont get what the LEDS in the front on the plexi (?) do. Do they aim up @ the case? Its kinda hard for me to tell from the pics.

[OKJEFF4]

First question. - I don't have a fanbus, that's a temperature display.

Second question. - That's my computer stand, the LEDs light it up. And they aren't under plexi, that is glass.

[Smirabi]

i like all the blue. the lights in front look like little tendrils or mandibles extending from the case. sweet. maybe get some of those wires under control, but other than that, very solid, good job. i like the color of the case. (is that some kind of cutting board it is sitting on? i know you said it is glass, but my old comp used to sit on a cutting board so it could slide on carpet... just curious)

[OKJEFF4]

Yes, it's two glass cutting boards with feet to dig in. I'm getting ready to put in a 120mm blowhole in the top.

[Sidekick™]

Nice start on the modding.
I've always liked the colors of blue/black or silver together. My suggestions, somtime when money isn't tight, get a better blue cathode and some uv wire sleeving.
I see you like case badges too.

[OKJEFF4]

Well, I have a red cathode to go along with the blue. But the inverter caught fire. (Hmmm..) I prefer the tape on the cables because I don't have to remove pins.

[Sidekick™]

I thought about taping.. But eh, It's not for me. Some people have their own opinions. My opinion in general, Do what you have to do. :)

[bafbrian]

Nice case. I like it. Only thing I think should change it that tape on the wiring. But, hey, I've done that before. I am getting mine sleeved for a better look.

[OKJEFF4]

I desperately hate taking out pins. So tape is best.

in that case, spiral wrap is best

Touche.

[dowmace]

oh yea and um thats not a temperature display I've seen it, member you rewired it so it's a "turbo!" display, maybe the pics are older, somethin like that

[OKJEFF4]

It's a temp display that hasn't been totally hooked up yet. I had it hooked up, but it's a hassle.

[drewmister]

yea i would have to say that it looks great other then ahem tap ahem.... buy some good sleeving and shrink wrap from www.cableorganizers.com

that would make it look great get some uv reactive blue....

[RangerJoe]

as others have said, get over your fear of removing pins, and get some sleeving on those....not only does it look crappy, but once you take it off, all of your cables will be sticky, and if you leave it on too long, it will be inpossible to clean them/make it look nice.

and are the LEDs just sitting under the glass? if you want the glass to glow, you have to drill a hole into the side of the glass, and fill it back up (once the LED is in there) with superglue.

your ram is populated in the wrong spot (supposed to go outside to inside)

why do you have a dvd player, and a dvd RW. you can play dvds on a dvd RW drive....

and, why isnt the barton overclocked?

[drewmister]

well i can see why he has a dvd and a dvd rw drive

first of all both can play cds

second of all most dvd rw are cd rw as well

so to make copies of dvds or cds in this case he can just do it from cd to cd or dvd to dvd without having to copy an image to his computer then copying the image to a disc...

but i still agree on sleeving the wires... other than that i think it looks great.

[tom10167]

I use spiralwrap, it's really awesome and it looks significantly better than the tape, keep the tape on, and wrap it, though, it'll look better through the cracks of the wrap.


Very nice case.

[drewmister]

do you have ne linky + pictures of ur spiral wrap? I wanna see a picture of what yours looks like :)

[OKJEFF4]

I thought this was dead, but..

I got a new case, and sold my CDRW. The DVDRW is horribly slow for burning CDs, but, I guess I'll manage. I can't OC easily with that mobo. I can get to 2ghz, but why? I fixed the RAM. And, I got another 160GB HD. Oh yeah, and a red cathode. I'll have pics soon enough.

[CdyRls]

If you hate removing pins spo much then you should consider purchasing a molex pin remover from Radio shack they are around 5.00 and it makes taking out the pins no hassle whatsoever. Just insert it in and push the button....me and my friend were actually fighting over who could take out the pins :)

[Contra]

yeah i say use spiral wrap or sleening
tape looks to trashy
but other than that
nice job
