OT: Check out my case mods! (Link works now!)

[Confused]

My dad came round last night to take a look at my mum's car, and I asked him to bring his digital camera so I could take some pics of my case mods, and i've just put them up 🙂

Check out under the My Computers link here and tell me what you think! 🙂

Thar she blows!!

Nice blowholes! : D

 

[RustyNale]

Not too worried about dust or cooling, are we? 😉 🙂

 

[paf077]

You'll have to take that cd-rw apart and pint the face plate + the buttons. 😀

No water cooling???? What are you waiting for? 😉

[Confused]

I need to redo the paint job, it's got a little scratched in moving it around to/from friend's and my dad's 🙁

I'll paint the CD-RW drive when i repaint the case! 🙂

Watercooling's a touch expensive for me at the moment, and i need a bigger case for that really!

Make an Home made water cooling system, iot's a lot cheaper than buying one. 🙂


I wish I had a site to post pics That way you could have a look at mine. 🙁

Maybe I could E-Mail you a couple of pics!!! 😛

tsk tsk garry showing off your mods again hey? 😛 Have to admit they do look good though i can't do a whole lot with my case though 🙁 Have often wondered about water cooling though as my case is very bit, but it is very expensive and knowing me it would leak and i am not good with plumbing 🙁

"Page cannot be displayed"

 

[Confused]

SWScorch, you probably caught it last night when the dasmed thing lost internet connection (damn ntl POS :|) 🙂

It should be up again now!

paf077, email me some pics to the address in my profile, and i'll put them up for you 🙂

As for home made water cooling, it *might* be possible, but i'm not sure whether i would trust myself to not screw it up! 🙂 I suppose i could get my dad to make it, then if it kills my computer i can blame him! 🙂

I am getting the page cannot be displayed error also.

 

[IsOs]

I can't see the page.

What's the ambient temp of the location?

 

[htmlmasterdave]

It's not working for me either, still having issues?

 

[zeruty]

water cooling?!?

<mandatory shameless plug>check out koolance.com</mandatory shameless plug>
I work for the sister company of koolance, my company and koolance have the same founder/owner. the two companies work closely together... so take my recommendation with a grain of salt 😛
they are pretty cool though and maximum pc gave them 9 out of 10 rating....
I guess it's too expensive for you though... hell they are too expensive for me 😛

anyways, break almost over...

[Confused]

Darn i don't know why it isn't working 🙁





OK, now after getting Alex to check, i discovered that i forgot to add port 8080 (the HTTP port) to the allowed ports on the firewall!

Should be working now! 🙂

Ambient temps are about 21-22 in my case, not sure about room temp, the sensor on the BP6 seems to read higher than the CPU temp!

 

[Confused]

Bump for edited title and working link 🙂

 

[Robor]

You've got a PC in your car for playing .mp3's? :Q

 

[Confused]

Robor,

I did have it in there, i've updated the page with some more info 🙂

 

[Robor]

Just checked it out. Pretty cool. And this time it didn't cost me the #1 post! 😛
