Lamptron is such a great sponsor, a huge thank you goes out to them and their machinists!
Here is where you can buy this controller: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=25540
:eek2:
It's too beautiful
You gonna use both? I can think of a good home for the one you don't use :D
What size primochill tubing are you using btw? 7/16 5/8? I really need to get hold of some, i love the colour of it. But no luck here in Aus at the moment.
he has 3/8 5/8 tubing i think, and he said that there was going to be a contest like the other one
Ian, casemodding may be an art-form but to call your designs masterpieces would be a HIDEOUS understatement. You're elevating the case-mod to a fine art, on par with this guy.
Keep up the GREAT work,
and while it pains me to say it, I'm gonna have to explicitly ask to be counted out of the contest for the second fan controller due to inability to afford parts to hook it up to in the forseeable future.
Thats what I said :D my jaw dropped when I opened up the box and finally saw the two controllers, just beautiful all around and quality. You can ask zanz, when I got the controllers I hopped on ventrilo and I was flipping out over them :rofl:Quote:

I just talked to my paint guy and the parts will be ready in an hour or two so I will be going to get them early by skipping out on work :up::up:
heh-heh! I'll be discussing my hopes for getting into case-modding in my own thread elsewhere soon. I'll be on Ventrilo this afternoon, too.
ditto on counting me out...got 2 computers, got 2 fan controllers...no third computer in sight for the next year or two
Goooooood morning Vietnam! (yes I am going slightly crazy under the pressure but things are going REALLY well - I cant say I will have a lot of pictures, I am devoting all my time to installing this beast and its really a matter of what my dad decides to take and shoot while I work. So much progress I cant show you guys it makes me sad :(

WOW :shocked: This is the best front case I've ever seen :clap:
I cannot wait to see this thing in person! looks awesome :up:
Looks great! What paint did you use? It's really smooth.
Methinks powdercoat
WOW that cnc guy made that last piece you showed us in post 511 ?
thats magnificent
Wow!......
Thks guys for the comments :) - yes that is powdercoat and yes it came out GREAT I am still waiting on the side panels as there was complications with getting their finish to work right but they will be ready tomorrow or friday
I worked on it a lot last night, found out some things that are problems a somethings that are good news :)
good news:
- the reservoir and lamptron fan controller fit perfectly into the drive bays with not a bit to spare.... this is good because I designed the res arbitrarily at 10" tall without thinking of the room for the fan controller and I am actually just the luckiest mofo in the world in that respect :rofl:
- the radiator and the pumps and the PSU will all fit in the bottom, I had to take the inside fan near the PSU off so that the rad would push in enough to not hit the side panel. Now there are 5 fans on the rad and the psu to help as a kind-of-sixth fan :)
- the case went back together completely and without too much issue
bad news:
- I am having to redo the VGA power due to a dffierent routing requiring more length :\ started this last night but I will need to finish it tonight.
- the 24-pin wiring is very very tnagled and I will have to sped a lot of time on this to manag it all behind the motherboard tray, lots of work :\
- the 8-pin cpu power will not reach and I will have to fashion an extender which should be interesting... luckily I just found the necessary female malex plug for that here at work.
- I need to sort out the rad mounting, I have not worked on this at all yet :\
otherwise everything is going good :) I think this is very finishable before saturday as long as I dont hit any major snags on the paint and I dont die from lack of sleep :rofl:
Ian this is so beautiful!!!
dude, NOT funny. A close friend of mine actually worked himself so hard that the lack of sleep DID kill him.Quote:

Looks sweet, SD :up:
Hey, did you get a chance to check how much room there is up above the mobo tray in that case? Thanks!
that the Japanese have a word for it. "Karoshi" which literally means "death from overwork" and is a genuine concern in Japan and has become a growing danger in the 'States, so be careful, man.Quote:
