I'll start from the first mod I did for myself, blingGreen, then move through the mods that I have built, ending with what I am working on now... Deuce!

Enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to review my work!

Innards are the following:
A8N-SLI-Deluxe
Athlon FX-53
1GB (2x512) OCZ EL PC3200, 2-3-2
Leadtek 6600GT
Gigabyte 3D Rocket Pro Cooler with Artic Silver
ULTRA 500w X-Connect modular power supply
Pioneer Slot load DS-106 DVD player
HP CD Burner (older than dirt...)

The trick bits:
1) Flames... and lots of them! I've always liked classic harloquin flames like on custome cycles and hot rods... this was my tribute to them! I cut the inverse flame on the top window, backed it with a sanded piece of lexan, then lit each end with a 3 LED array, blue at the base of hte flam, and green at the top of the flame. The fade works nicely. The Side window was lovingly cut and sanded and filed into submission to put the flames on the window! Ran into a problem shortly after creating my *magiccal* effect, in that my case color did not lend itself to displaying the flames very well in a dimly lit LAN environment. So I came up with the 2nd layer of sanded UV blue acrylic that is lit with UV CCFL's! Add into that the other colors that are present in the acrylic (to be explained in a second) and I got my flames lit up enough to be seen at a LAN party!

2) The flames actually flicker. I built a controller for all of the series LED's that is based off of hard drive LED activity. When the drive is at rest (off) certain LED's stay lit. When there is activity, then the other LED's light up and the first set goes off. So there is this constant play between the colors in the flames that makes the flames not only light up... but flicker and dance as well!

3) 92mm exhaust fan. Was a regular UV green fan, but I tapped 3 holes into the frame and aimed UV LED's in a triangle pattern. I tied them into the same plug used by the fan off of the motherboard, and then sleeved the connection in black so that it would not show up.

4) Custom Power cabling - I bought some UV reactive wire and some corresponding black molexes and the male or female pins needed to fil each location, and then built my own cable system. The Ultra cables are nice, but too bulky for how small my case actually was. So I gathered inspiration from another modder on another forum and redid the work in my flavor! The cable spacers are UV Green acrylic that have been tapped, drilled and added into the cable array. Kinda tricky to plan out how many cables you need, how many molexes will be used, where the spacers are going to be put in, etc... but I like the results!

5) Crushed Velvet in the bottom to give it that "pimp's couch" feel, as well as add in an areas for me to cover cables and connections! I plan on redeux'ing this later on, but for now... I like how this all lays out.

6) Bulgin Vandal switch on the front for power

7) Front intake for 80mm front fan with active LED show in the middle of it!

Thank you very much for your post Daddy.

It's very beautiful.

Dude this case-mod is really awesome . I think "Boss" is my favorite one .
I like this orange, it reminds me some "retro" stuff like those which existed during the 80' .

The CPU cooler looks like a car engine part (i dunno which one, I sux in mechanics ).

The purple backlighted wolf is also a kickass execution.

Keep modding !

i was making music a few years ago and i was using this kind of vocoder:



This mod remind me my vocoder, I still have it @ home, it's now classified "vintage"

edit: like me....

My goodness! Someone slap me next time I forget to update like I promised!


The 3rd rig I did was a computer I built for charity. Our National Hockey League (NHL) has a team in Dallas, the Dallas Stars (http://stars.nhl.com) and I built this computer out of parts donations from lots of vendors, then sold it off at a benefit auction with all the money going to the Dallas Stars Foundation, which benefits local children in North Texas.

Hey dude, what's up ?

Don't worry I'll keep that in mind, you'll get your slap
next time you'll be late

Only few words, you made some kickin' ass work once more
even if I'm not found of all this multicolors lights. And I can only
applause the fact that you did all this work for a right cause.
Hope this bring a nice amount of money for the stars association.

I hope it won't take you so long next time to make an update

cya soon

Congratulations one more time .
If there's only one sport I can bear, it's really ice hockey.

Hockey and Modding : You made my dream came true .
Moreover, the fact that's for a charity sell is all your honor.

Can't wait to see your next mod . See ya .

It's an amazing work!
You're a realy good modder and your work is very very beautiful and clean whatever you do!

I Can't wait for the end of the Deuce project! ... WOW ...
