03-12-2007 9:21pm#1Well I said I'd post this up, it's just me sticking some wc gear into a shiny new V2000B
The specs are as follows:
V2000B
PA120.3 - D5 - EK Res 250 - Apogee GTX
MCR220 - D5 - Ek Res 250 - EK NB block - MCW60 GPU block
8800GTS 640
Q6600
Asus P5K Premium
2GB Ballistix
Hitachi Deskstar 320GB x2
Anyway I've taken lots of pics but not to bore you I said I'd just throw up a couple for now. The project is far from finished but this is basically all I have so far!
A shot with ambient light, the window's tinted like papu's.
The Acryan Hexx mesh I used for the rad intake vents.
Internal shot with the lights on showing the uv plexi back thingy..
Another showing a bit of the bay cover.
A close up of the fan and grill.
I'll throw up some more soon, just have to find the time to work on it a bit more...0

Ok a little more....
Here we have a seemingly normal DVD drive, a little hacked up but nothing unusual..
And this is a wire sticking out from the drive...
Touch the wire and.. BAM the drive is open!
How, you say? Well with the help of a QT113 touch ic and a little bit of soldering I built a simple circuit that can sense when a human touch is nearby, this means I can place the electrode (whatever metal I attach to the wire) behind for example a plexi panel and it will work. A touch switch!
Here's some internal shots:
The circuit stuck inside the drive with the output soldered to the correct points inside the drive, I've also replaced the stock led with a blue one.
The circuit itself as you can see it is really simple, just the ic and a cap. It gets powered from a +5v point I've taken from the drive. The output is white, with the green going to the electrode.
I've also got one for the power switch and one for switching the case lighting. The light switch was a little more complex using an NPN transistor to actually do the power switching.0 -

you using 3/8" tubing on the cpu and 1/2 " or 7/16" on the nb ?
7/16" all round
A few more pics, it's damn hard to shoot this thing in the dark and the cathodes always come out kinda pink! Anyway:
The left side, with the fans for the nb/gpu loop.
Front a bit messy, but I have a plan for the front panel..
With the tinted panel on.

Ek northbridge block
