Project :::: PermaFrost :::: (New Project name, formerly SNiiPE's PC-P80)

Holy crap :P that's one nice PC to work on.

For what purposes does your dad uses it ?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Its a photo editing machine, he edits 600-800mb files on a daily basis so he needs all the power and ram he can get. Cs4 runs amazingly smooth on the 4870

The white theme of the case and sleeving is AMAZING! Nice build!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Well I promised pictures, but I had other things to do today so I only have one tonight. Tomorrow is another day, but it will be 100% dedicated to shooting

[bball4ever39]

Awesome.

No need to say anything more.

fantastic man

[YukonTrooper]

It's really nice, but what's with that pink fan?

Good job, man. I really like how the white contrasts with the other innards just through the window. Can't wait to see some naked shots.

Looks great

This makes me wanna buy the case and do the same color scheme you did. Looks amazing that way.

wow man! Great turnout! now enjoy the fruits of your labors! Is there any way to hide that upper UV cathode? that was the only thing to me that stuck out in that super-super clean case. Great work All around though! Cant wait to see more shots and Kudos to you man.

yeah, unfortunately no way to hide it... I think today I will be opening the cathode tube a centering the bulb, the cathode tube itself is level but the bulb dips down making it look ugly and ghetto

[sniperbob]

what about like some sort of cathode-shield, that extended down from the frame hiding the cathode from the window, but still allowing all the UV rays to shine throughout the case? Not trying to be stubborn about a little cathode, just thinkings is all. Maybe a piece of white-powdercoated aluminum that spanned the entire upper support, using the pre-existing holes as mounting points? idk if it's fine to you then don't listen to me. Your case is yours for a reason, so if you want the cathode there, fine by me, no harm done.

Not a bad idea leveling the bulb though, just watch out, as I have broken countless cathodes trying to separate the tube end from the tube...

indeed a good Idea, there are lots mounting holes.... I'll see what I can rig up for it.....

that way it maintains a clean front look while keeping the cathode in the same spot, keeping the lighting more or less the same, maybe even better. I did a little bit of experimentation in my case with 1" strips of paper folded to a right angle, creating a 1/2 lampshade almost for the cathodes, and the lighting was brighter, not sure it was more UV intensive but it was focused more towards the inside of the case. Maybe some reflective material would do the trick idk. My head hurts from actually coming up with a build idea, been a while since the creative juices have flown freely.

[systemviper]

can't wait to see that rig neked

[LockBreaker]

Amazing!!!

True artwork!

[Borys]

We wana more pictures :P This setup look's great with 2 loop's.

[Aielman]

Damn...now I want to send my UFO back to Ben and see if he can do the interior white but leave the exterior black.

Very nice.

[anubis_is_evil]

really love the technic of your full rig photo sniipe....real artwork ....awesome

teach me sniipe, plisss teach me how do you take picture like that

[breathemetal]

Purdy! Good work man! Really nice.
It shows you put a lot of effort/time into it and you should be really proud.
Hopefully I can put out something of that quality someday!

Question: Where did you get the plexi for the window? I want to do my own window and dont know where to get good plexi/acrylic

this plexi is ACryan black acrylic (smoke tint) they have great acryl panels all available @ performance-pcs


as for the photo technique, its all 30 years of experience my father has as a professional photographer, I'm still doing a ton of learning myself. The other part is the $35,000 worth of professional photo equipment and lighting used to create the shot.

well thank you for sharing that sniipe, better stick my money just for the LC's

still figure how to build a cheap and decent DIY photo studio for my worklog, especially with my lauzy cam and bad photo technic...

but still, absolutely beautiful for your rig there, hoping that will be more awesome pics coming..

[BlueAqua]

Wow Sniipe, that's pretty nice. Why do you tease us with only one picture???? Great backdrop and lighting, I can't wait to see more.
