For some reason, this came to mind ...

I Was Exactly thinking the same thing

but it's a very nice paint job

**hitachi974** · 07-13-2009, 06:17 AM

I think it's not a bad color and now it is painted, it is smaller ...

bonne continuation

I just return from a week of holidays.

I am mounting my hardware in the case. I will post pictures tomorow.

**Makymaco** · 07-28-2009, 01:15 PM

New photos. It's not finished but i already pleased with the result.

I need to do cable management :

Looks great!

Just curious, but how come you used two T's on the radiators?

**rjkoneill** · 07-29-2009, 03:44 PM

this would look great with some sleeving

what are you doing with the side panels? or have you not got that far yet?

That's not T but Y.
Pump1 => Y => Rad1 and Rad2 in // => Y => Pump2 => cpu block.

I already done some sleeving but i need to do more and to find good ideas to hide the cables.
I am thinking on the front and side panels. I want to find a nice design for them.

Hello,

I just finished to wire twot bulgin led switch buttons :
http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...acts-4pin.html

One white (3.6V) and one green (3.5V).

Can anyone confirm my wiring please ?

Do you know if the hdd and power led voltages output of my motherboard are compatible with the buttons ?

**Makymaco** · 08-31-2009, 02:11 PM

Do anyone have some knowledge on bulgin led buttons please ?

I continued to work on the case last week.

I cut a metal plate from my old case to make a cover for the cable at the back of the case :

I cut a hole for the rheobus and cd rom cables to hide them below :

**the_dope_chaud** · 08-31-2009, 07:35 PM

Wow, enorme la boite ! Honnestly, this case is great, and I really admire the effort put into it, 100% home made. If you're gonna do it, do it big !

It'a a triple triple case...

(3x360)

**kgtiger** · 08-31-2009, 08:38 PM

Well done on the construction of the frame, looks very solid.

Is there any chance you can use counter sunk screws to hold the outside/cover panels on with. I feel it would look less noticeable and more professional.
Looks excellent!

Thanks for the comments.

I will try that.

Your old project becoming popular with this thread. Its simple and clean, thats it. By the way, I like your color out there too. It seems a bit dark but its just fine mate.

**adam9977** · 09-01-2009, 06:23 PM

Very nice! I wish I had the skills to do something like this. Also, nice job on the wire management.

Someone on another forum states that his motherboad output 4,4V and the leds of my buttons are rated for 3.5V and 3.6V.

I will mesure myself the voltage output on my motherboard this week.

I'm not particularly skilled.
The frame is really simple to do. You just have to cut the tubes at the right length.

**kgtiger** · 09-04-2009, 08:30 AM

Not That skilled, well,

maybe, maybe not, but I think so

However, it does take imagination to think out side the box, and you do have that in spade’s.

**Makymaco** · 09-05-2009, 04:06 AM

You can't really measure the voltage off of the MB anyway. Regardless, the LED will be fine. (I've never had a problem with them.)

I think i give up on measurements, and wire the buttons like that without modifications.

I glued 2cm thick foam panels on the sides and the top for soudproofing.

**Makymaco** · 09-21-2009, 12:40 PM

New photos !

**kgtiger** · 09-29-2009, 04:25 AM

Nice to see it up and running

**Origin_Unknown** · 09-29-2009, 05:00 AM

looks nice - rather industrial!

**Wezly** · 09-29-2009, 05:10 AM

Incredible!

I believe you need a 100 ohm resistor to run this off of 5vdc or 500ohm for 12vdc. At least I use 5mm LEDs with a 100ohm @ 5vdc and it works just fine. Just solder it in line on the positive (long) leg of the LED... My 5mm LEDs are 3.3vdc.

(I hope that's what you were asking)
