FrenkieNL Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanx man! Much appriciated ! PSU This old PSU is the designated victim to give this mod some power. Here it sits in the case below. Where it shows through the big hole, I marked the outerlid to be dremeled away. Looks like this. Lets do something fun with it. These fluorescent gel-pens I also used in my R2-D2 casemod. Under a blacklight, you see the first 5 pens light up dramatically. Under normal lightning. And with a UV blacklight. These are so called "cordsets" that I 'saved' from the scraphead at my work. Allready runs 5 wires through them ! Attach a molex and were good to go ! I have been 'collecting' lots more during my buildup time..... e.g. cordset kabels, shower hoses, hydraulic hoses en fiber cables. Marking the old PSU where the holes would sit best. Drilling the holes in various sizes. Example of what it going to look like. Now attach them sturdy to the frame and run the wires through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenkieNL Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 This is how the PSU looks like from below... and on the side... This is how it mounts in the case. Oh a fellow modder called Snowmiss of the site BouwEenPC.nl gave me this I/O shield, thanx man ! Inside the game, this charge appears in several colorschemes. I chose the blue one. After some long searching, I found the ideal combination; Anthracite Grey and Sapphire Blue. Because the unit has to look a bit worn, I completed them with 7 other support colors. I gave the bottom case a layer, so the PSU cables will stand out more. I added much more cables to the PSU then needed, I am going to use several for spot-lightning inside. Lucky I have a lot of LED's in stock. This is how that looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPang Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Oh my, from Swiss cheese to Dutch cheese! Great moves Frenkie and looks like you raided a plumbing shop which is where I have seen these metal hoses, great idea! Good thing you have space to bend them because they will not do so easily. They would be almost unusable in a normal or small build. Ahh, I can only dream of getting those UV gel pens over here-real unobtanium in Mexico Makes the psu look hot and boring it is not by a long shot! Waiting for more goodness. Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenkieNL Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanx guys, much appriciated ! Lets shake and bake some LEDs together... I hate making this infomercial (when I dont get paid for it) but this DREMEL soldering iron is great. These LEDs make a nice narrow spot light. Enough light for now, dont you agree ?

FrenkieNL Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Used the stainless steel tubing coming from the PSU to guide wires through them, Attached several high power blue LEDs to them and routed the lot through a industrial on/off switch.

FrenkieNL Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks to my good friend Peter Brinkhuis (nick Brinkdingus on BouwEenPc.nl) I got this very cool waterreservoir with a HL2 Lambda logo inside ! Dismantled the watercooling from the Machine casemod. But first I need to tweak it some more, added two angled connectors to the top. This dull-white teflon hose fits perfectly in those connectors, and a LED inside that hose ! Looking good from the top. And from the bottom, the LED shines perfectly straight down! Will do just fine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
