Loading ...Do i have to nail your hand to that lazer cutter
Urbtree
went back today to pick up my case side and yet again he`d forgot to do it. so i stapled a note to his forehead reminding him and collected my side an hour later. so the order of the day has been fitting the new reobus and moddifieing the case to take it.
picture are of the drive box section upside down
using some special acrylic glue the dood who cut my case gave me, ive built the box system that will hold the dvd, reobus and hard drives. the glue is a pain in the arse to avoid getting everywhere and even the slightest drop on this case will ruin it as it melts the acrylic to glue it so that has been fun. it also has a tendency to create spider webs of glue everywhere. something else that dosnt help is my inability to wait for the glue to dry before working on things
i then fit the new box section into the case and re drilled the holes to accept it. then i fitted the bottom support section to create another box.
this will soon be the home for the 240mm rad when i can afford the water cooling (which shouldn’t be long now). water cooling is a must to try and keep some of the dust out of these clear cases hence the reason the rad and fans are housed in a completely separate section of the case
as you can see the backplate for the motherboard has now been flipped to invert it. this will point the gpu fan in the right direction and i reason it will aid cooling there is a 120mm exhaust fan going in the roof and an 80 mm intake going in the rear this hopefully should create what’s know as negative pressure which will aid cooling.
the motherboard tray is mounted at each corner on 4 stand-offs. i intend to double up on the motherboard stand off’s for two reasons.
1: this will give me bags of room behind the mobo to hide wiring and the odd inverter.
2: apparently the mother board i have (asus p5b deluxe ) transfers heat to the back side to aid cooling. this has now created an area where this heat can escape through the vented rear.
as you can see i will be able to be a lot more subtle with the lighting in this new case. the old one needed to much to make it stand out where as this one stands out in just daylight. its being lit now by 2 small uv cathods where as there is 6 in the old.
