Thankyou guys so much ,reading your comments is the best thing about making these logs XS is truly my home forum so you all get the update fresh out of the Nor'easter LAN:

First off today was wicked fun! (appropriate terminology for the nor'easter LAN) - I brought the case in and spoke with so many people looking to get into liquid cooling and case modding and just admirers of the work. I got to meet sniperbob and play cod4 with Jonathan and the other guys of rip|, we as a team took 4th place in the tournament. I am sorry to all who asked for me to take pictures, I was so busy and involved with so many things at once that it was impossible for me to have the time. I was also super tired all day - yesterday I spent 20hrs straight finishing Flow and then slept for 2.5hrs and the went to the Lan event for another 15hrs.

The Best news of all is that I won first place in the case modding competition and I am the proud victor of an intel i7 965 extreme edition CPU (something I thought I would never own) I also get a small feature article in CPU magazine and a chance to get into a 2 page spread of CPU magazine later on. about this I am extatic, just too tired to really have it all sink in yet.

and I also have made a preliminary deal with Crucial memory as a sponsor of the build as they offered to get me some nice blue ballistix tracer ddr3 to try out in the machine (not obligated to use for those who are fans of the nickel enzotech ramsinks)

cheers,

-Ian

congrats on everything you have accomplished man, you know also getting 1st place, the new cpu, sponsor, and making it on a mag. This project is def. one of the ones that have shocked me the most, its beautiful in every way. I think you truly deserve everything you have gotten, hard work pays off and this project log speaks for itself! Whether its from your updates, or the pictures. Also if that is not enough, just reading the kind words that have been left by other users are priceless!

[dreamaxx]

Wow I wish they'd give away prizes like that here. In fact, I just wish they'd have modding competitions AT ALL.

Congrats Snipe!

[DragoonXX]

hey snipe/anyone else who frequents this thread that's familiar with google sketchup...does it have wacom tablet support? I've been looking at getting something along the lines of a Wacom INTUOS4 *small the 6x4* or a bamboo fun pad (I'm starting a CADD technical illustrator degree in september)

[sniperbob]

seeing this build in person yesterday gives me an entirely newfound respect for the work you put in Ian. great times at the LAN, congrats on winning, and watch out because I have a year to prepare a case in the hopes of being your rival

also, i totally forgot about those LED's i told you i had for you. I still have them if you really need some shipped to you...

[millertime359]

Gratz there snipe. You deserved it. Now get some sleep, then ........ PRETTY PICS OF THE WINNER ........

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

thankyou CP, likewise to your compliments I must thank you and all the other users who follow the log, without you guys' helpful and kind comments I would have given up on this stuff long ago.

Wow I wish they'd give away prizes like that here. In fact, I just wish they'd have modding competitions AT ALL.

Congrats Snipe!

cheers Nat, I would love to see modding have its own international comp/convention its a shame its a relatively ignored hobby compared to overclocking - just like those LN2 clockers we modders are making our hardware perform its function best!

I wouldn't think a wacom would be good for cad, but thats because I have only used programs like solidworks, NX and pro/e which all consider each line its own separate entity with its own constraints of length, anlge and position.

I'm glad you enjoyed it in person, I wish that more XS users were in the area, that place could use some more people with better hardware knowledge

as for the LED's I plugged in the ones I had to the mobo header and they worked, turns out the white lighting in the case completely drowns out any blue light from those LEDs

Gratz there snipe. You deserved it. Now get some sleep, then ........ PRETTY PICS OF THE WINNER ........

Why wait for pics when you can have them now?

I give you:

[dreamaxx]

[pingpong1455]

DDDUUUUUDDDEEE thats sweet

[twwen2]

My god that's good.

Well done sniipe!

[ridney]

wow! i love it! i could never do such a beautiful thing, congratulations!

[Xion X2]

Must see more pics. From what I see, it's quite possibly the best looking build I've ever seen. You even had the side panel cut to match the front--AWESOME. Also love the etching that you had done in the upper panel.

"Dayum" is about all that needs to be said. But yeah, post more pics, please.

[DragoonXX]

ok, my main guess behind thinking about a tablet would be precision, I've been finding (playing around with sketchup so far) that I have to crank the settings on my mouse WAYYY down to be able to get any real decent control over positioning/placement etc of objects
program lists that are primarily used in the course I'm going into...
AutoCAD, REVIT, sketchup, Inventor, and a few others that arnt listed on the website, lol

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

the thing is you dont draw a straight line... you select a straight line tool and define its length and orientation with things called constraints. Honestly its a bit tough to explain but you just have to use the programs and you will understand right away, the mouse is the perfect tool

[dreamaxx]

I think the black lian li wheels would look a bit better than the silver ones

I use an older version (v7, and they're on v16 IIRC) of a CAD program called TurboCAD (it can be had cheap but don't let that fool you ). I've also had better luck with a trackball than a mouse and would never think about a tablet.

BRAVO SNiiPE. . . .BRAVO.
