Chris's Pimp-Rig |
||
|
The Tower |
|
I've painted it's
interior so a UV light would really shine.
So far, I've discovered flat white DOES NOT WORK for UV. I always try to test things before I go too far.
|
|
The Black Tower |
|
It failed the UV test, so we are going black. This does not mean we wont find something reflective to paint or apply on it's interior. |
|
The Blowhole |
|
120 MM Blowhole is cut, ready for de-burring and painting. Fan is an Enermax adjustable. |
|
The Front |
|
I masked off every single LED. Scotch tape worked GREAT. |
|
Case badge finished and installed |
|
So far, it looks like a pimp-rig Mo Fo. |
|
Tower sides painted |
|
Cutting a window too big will make the side loose it's structural integrity. |
|
Chrome Trim |
|
Chrome trim really makes a window look
good. Get that trim from crazypc.
We are going with one UV type 80 mm fan for a side blowhole. |
|
Filters & junk |
|
Chrome 120mm fan filter for
the top, black 80mm fan filter for the side window fan.
Rest of the junk is goes in mine. |
|
120mm Top Mounted Blowhole |
|
There was not enough room inside the case for this big fan, but there was enough room outside. Later, I will wrap this in stainless steel shim-stock. |
|
Ventral 80mm Blowhole |
|
Blowhole is bored with a hole-saw, then the filter was used as a template for the 4 mounting holes. |
|
Ventral 80mm Blowhole |
|
The filter and fan have been
installed.
All holes were reamed out to allow the screws free passage to the fans holes. This was done to keep from cracking the plastic, so close to the main hole. |
|
More |
|
I painted the CD-ROM Black, and waiting for it to dry. I have a bay cooler that holds 2-80mm fans. This was painted red and modded to fit with the 4-port bay controller. |

This shit takes a lot more time than you think.
|
|
Card-Chip Cooler |
|
I inverted a slot cooler to cool the top of the video card. Next comes a thin 60mm fan to cool the chip. I've done everything I can to stealth wires, going the long way around to conceal nasty wires. Where ever possible, I wrap it with black heat shrink. |
|
Stainless Steel Tape |
|
Stainless Steel Adhesive tape. Sold in most auto parts stores. The adhesive is not really too strong so I used super-glue gel. |
|
Power Supply |
|
I had the power supply treated
in Black Teflon. This stuff will not scratch when it's slid it into
position. I'm stealthing the wires with black looms
Teflon is baked on and is Tough as Nails. |
|
Progress |
|
It's almost assembled |
|
Finished |
|
It's about DONE. |
