Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

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.
Res'
Apogee GTX
Ek northbridge block
I really like this pic for some reason.0 -

Do you have a diagram / tutorial / list of components?

I guess I'll put them up then, I've got heaps and still have a few more to take.
I just kinda got bored with it, lol.. I have a mod to the mod planned for when I get cash, think a candy green mirror paintjob and lots of tweaks/changes to go with a green and orange theme. The guts will be the same, I'll add more ram and a few HD's for a nice raid 5 array That's the summer project anyway.
Now to get a job again... I spend too much of the little cash I have on this kinda stuff, sigh.0 -

Painting a Yate-Loon - for anyone that might be interested:
One Yate-Loon D12SM intact...
And now not so intact. Simply peel the sticker off the rear of the fan, pop the rubber cap off. Then you will have to remove a small white plastic ring that keeps the blade assembly in place (bottom left on the graph paper) It needs to be prised off the bar with a small screwdriver or something, be careful not to lose it. And now the blades will slide right out.
Shoot a coat or two of primer followed by the colour of your choice, and done. Make sure to mask up the inside off the blade assembly where the magnet and bar are. If you're doing the casing too, mask the motor coils obviously.
Reverse the steps to put back together, adding a little grease if you lost some in the disassembly.
And now mount them on a nice thermochill radiator, and enjoy your newly pimped fans.. You could even drill a few 5mm holes in the fan housing and add LED's for even more pimpage Which I actually did but wiring all those leds was too much like hard work. This all should be pretty much the same for any fan..
Anyway hope you all decide to spice up your boring black fans now!0 -
