what was the little heatsink for?

and that is a mad northbridge heatsink.. i had a celeron heatsink around but it wouldnt fit on my ga-7n400l2 :( oh well...
 
BioNiKaL - Yea baby, this is an old AMD HSF (added a silent 60mm fan on top).
Works great, it's silent and it cools great.

OLMI - Thanks man!
I'm thinking of adding a nice window @ the top of the case.

arctic ceramic?
it sucks because where i live there are no shops near my house that sell cool pc gear & mod gear so im restricted alot...

i was thinking about getting stuff from www.coolpc.com.au (a sleeving kit) the kit was $14(AUD) and shipping was going to be $11(aud) not worth it i decided

Ok, first thing that got my attention is my rad's shroud. I painted it white in the past w/out know how ugly it will be. Pic:

Now I used photoshop to help me visuallize how it gonna look w/ the black & red theme: (I used to be so much better in photoshop :mad:)

Well looks nice doesn't it?

So I started sanding, priming and painting...
Here's my custom sanding block:

The middle parts are already red so I used some aluminum paper to cover it:

(Ofcourse this is after sanding and priming!)

You can't really see it but this is the top and the bottom of the case drying after priming:

I love the color scheme. keep the updates coming :)
 
Well, we're starting to see the results :D
I jumped to HomeDepot and got some TurtuleWax.
I rubbed my doors and panels with it. This is the result:

update...

Today I picked up this Thermaltake X-RAY for 5.25".
This is it: (a nice flash animation, taken from TT.com)
http://t0msmod.t35.com/newmodcont/ttxray/1.htm

I thought it was cool, the cup tray and the cigarette lighter (although I don't smoke in the house) but something was missing to make it L33T!

Then it came to me! I need some lightning in the tray so the cup will be nicely colored. So I started working:

First I rewired the cigarette lighter cables and glued them nicely:

The leds that will be used, two red bright leds :) :
mini-DSCN3947.xyz


Then I started to make the holes for the cables to go throw:
mini-DSCN3948.xyz


OK, now I made the holes for the LEDs:
mini-DSCN3949.xyz


First LED installed and glued:
mini-DSCN3951.xyz


LED installed:
mini-DSCN3952.xyz


Beutifful ins't it?

In the case:

Lights off:

Well, that's all for today.
I should be getting my new rig tomorrow, so I'll update again tomorrow :)
