Ghetto Mods?

**turbohans** · 08-25-2009, 05:20 PM

wow I think some of you guys got me beat by a longslide but this is my "ghetto pc"

I had a dead micro atx powersuply on it that I rewired to work with a regular atx, did the pin jump mod on it bumping the celeron m 1.4 to like 1.7 I think and replaced the fan with a slightly larger one. In this picture it was accually runing F@H on a linux live distro (slax) booting from the usb drive.

I had to sell a p4+915sli mobo (24PIN) to a friend but he had a 20 pin psu....back from 2003!LOL
So i had to come up with an idea in order for the mobo to work!
So i was time to GHETTO MOD the psu!!!!

I soldered a 4pin and i turned it into 24PIN
Everything works fine but i dont know what will happen as time goes on...I can see smoke from his psu...

System spec's:
Socket 370 1000Mhz PIII Toluando (or whatever that series is called)
ASUS TUV4X Mobo (excellent mobo for PIII's, btw)
An old ATI card
512MB RAM like 168 Pin I think...
20GB ATA HD
350W PSU
LITE-ON DVD Burner
Case: some card board box's

Misc: Zip-ties and Duck tape (no screws...

)

<sniff> that's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen<sniff>

Hello, I´m new at this forum. I want to do a guetto mod, in particular a lanbox. The motherboard is an ATX, a P5B. I want to put the Noctua NH-C12P with a Noctua Fan, the problem´s I need a alu case where the Noctua fit. The alu case is this:

What do you think?
Good bye and thank you.

old server case. converted AT to ATX case. biggest case with the least amount of stuff ever. I was happy how my erector set hdd mounts turned out. The bolt holes line up perfectly with the stacked hdds. "Sorry son, daddy needs to mount some hdds."

**Computurd** · 09-19-2009, 08:37 PM

wow thats ghetto all right!

**s0lid** · 09-20-2009, 09:02 AM

Infected i can only way wow.
That's one big case full of nice stuff, only ankward thing is who uses SCSI drives in modern LGA775 rig

Thanks

SCSI is great, its like having the power of a freight train in your computer

Sure it might not be as "fast" as SATA, but it takes it all back in other ways

And you just cant beat those 15K seek times, not even the raptors can compete with that

Only thing is that since my SCSI card is on the PCI bus I am limited to the 133MB (~110MB real) transfer rates

I am making a worklog for the thing, so if anyone is interested, check out diskusjon.no - Project SpaceMonkey

CPU temps are better than ever

All hail zipties!

Didn't have any s478 coolers left so used some Athlon64 cooler and tada, nicely cooled Pentium 4 in ECS EZ Buddie barebone

**Computurd** · 10-31-2009, 09:31 AM

i love that low profile cooler, that rocks man!

here is a temperature sensor mod i did with a water sensor for aquariums found at local fish store..the goal is to take the lcd screen and use it as a readout for an inline temperature sensor connected to my pump top, which is pumping out of a highly modified honda radiator. I also wanted to set it up as a two pin connector on the LCD readout so that i could switch between the inline sensor, an ambient sensor, and the sensor that came with the device itself, so that i could dump it into the rad and see how accurate that inline sensor is. I modified some fan headers to set that up. Works beautifully for the eight bucks the thing cost me

I have since used shrink tubing to clean up that ugly wiring and it looks much cleaner LOL
