Again a step futther (2)...

[Turbokeu]

It was time to start with my CCFT's.
Since CCFT's are glass tubes of about 3 x 300mm, I had to find a way to protect them.

http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/pc-70/PICT0083.JPG
Result: 3x 30cm plexi tube of diameter 10/13mm (ID/OD). Costs: 4$/meter.



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/pc-70/PICT0085.JPG
To hold the CCFT lights into the plexi: a rubber grummet of 11mm on each side of the tube.



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/pc-70/PICT0084.JPG
The result. I have just to mount them in my case now, toghether with the convertors...



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/pc-70/PICT0086.JPG
In analogy to the fanspeedselector on the front panel of the PC-70 I made a 4-speedselector for the rear two 80mm fans.

5.25" panel with the CPU clock indicator, and the window for the digital Thermometer annex Flowmeter (under construction).

Again, after some critic about the possibility for the radiatorfan to suck some warm air coming from the back via the radiator intake on the upper panel, I mounted the Panaflo "spoiler" again, but this time inverted.

Impressed once again, a job well done

Continued...
The CCFT's are ready, now I have just to mount the convertors.

The mounted Pink CCFT. The CCFT's are fixed with ZIP ties through holes in the chassis.

I was interested in how did u make the CPU clock indicator???

It's just three red 7-segment common anode displays with a serial resistor and a jumper per segment and it's powered by the +5V line (like in the ages of the "old 486"...).
You can display any number between "0000" and "9999".
I have still to put the schematic in electronic form but the PCB layout is done (it's the one on the pics).
If you are interested I can post them in a thread.

Is there any cooling other than watercooling ??? :D

CD:D

Yeah, air cooling if you know how to do it properly.. you don't need to waste money on watercooling that way. :D
I'm aircooling my actual 1GHz tbird at 1466MHz with a Swiftech MC462 and a Delta 80HP at 39-46°C. As soon as my watercooled setup is finished I will throw that Delta out of the window!!! :D
All I want is a SILENT machine, not an airplane turbine sound.:mad:

Well that is some very nice case work by the way. And dont throw it out donate it. wink wink, laf:)

Definately post them in a thread when you get done, I think we'd all love to make one of those for our systems....

Also, did you fabricate those sweet(aluminum?) 'bay covers' yourself?

So this thing doesn't measure the real speed of the CPU? U just set the numbers?

[TechnoFile]

I've seen older cases that had a three-digit LED readout displaying the processor speed. Can't say for sure if it was an actual reading of CPU speed or just a trick.

Here it comes!

http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/cpudisplay/CPUDISPLAY.JPG
The schematic.



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/cpudisplay/CPUDISPLAYPCB.JPG
The PCB viewed from component side.



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/cpudisplay/PICT0048.JPG
As you can see, both PCB's are soldered together.
The 2 holes on the left and the 2 on the right side of the diode have to be connected with a piece of wire (not shown in the picture).



http://users.skynet.be/turbokeu/images/cpudisplay/PICT0054.JPG
The result.

BTW, I didn't make those 5.25" bay covers, these are the ones delivered with the Lian Li PC-70...

Where did you buy that display from? I'd like to do that with mine.

That's what you get for using those screaming fans. I do just fine with my 92mm intake fans and Glaciator HSF. No airplane turbine sound here.
Try to cool a tbird at 1466+MHz, even with your Glaciator and you will understand what I mean.
I did not have any heat or noise problem with my old tbird 1GHz at 1160MHz on a modded Alpha 6035 with 80mm 43CFM fan, but when I went to 1400-1500Mhz at 1.85V a simple HSF wasn't sufficient anymore.
Even the best HSF in the world (in occurence the Swiftech MC462) does need a powerfull fan to be able to dissipate such a CPU heat.
