I spent all my money the last few years on materials for cases and use a $2 WalMart set (just too damn embarrassing at Lan Parties) It would be cool to have a bad ass set of cans to match my case...

useful? im not so sure....Brilliant and well executed mod ...Hell Yes!

Im really sorry I totally got busy and forgot about this mod..Its so cool to watch your detail work and ideas take shape. Well done so far.

lol, they are for over 600 different builds. The Kill a watt isant perfect but it is MUCH better than online calqs. and if you cant see that well, sorry.

LOL, Are you seriously trying to compare Kill A Watt to all the $$ equip in that post???? the Kill A watt is fine, close enough for its cost (under $20) Its MUCH better than online voltage calqs that are WAY off. in the last year I went through 621 Power supplies (I am so pissed I had to go...

paid bump

I say stay away from all the 500 watt PSs...(had aweful luck with all of the ones I had, OCZ died within a few min, 2 Seasonics died, 1 in a day and 2nd in a couple weeks and I had a bunch of Ultra 500 ones (bought about 10 of them) that were mostly 75% DOA(but that was a few years ago and Ultra...

I have the AV30s (and they are really nice) now I wish I had waited a bit and gotten these AV40s..

I dont get the big deal here, Who the hell cares what companies say/do about other companies? The strong survive and the weak get their asses kicked, Its worked fine for thousands of years...

I used bits of shrink tubing in the beginning to make sure, as you do more and more it gets easier, but you definitely want to double and triple check before plugging anything in. Here is a excellent place to get the minifit pns http://www.digikey.com/ Cheap in 100 packs and very fast...

Thanks ekuest for guiding him to my thread at Craigs place. Hey Mach well done and a really cool idea so far. As to the de-soldering I find simpler is better, I dont use fancy tools just a simple $5 35watt iron. To remove all 24 pins at once is impossible (without damaging surrounding...

Part received the other day Bump, Thanks again

Payment sent bump....

PM sent bump...

I didnt know there were any other 1366 pin cpus to get. (at the time it was between the $100 W3503 or a $300 920)

I got a W3503 off eBay and it worked fine on my Bloodrage GTI with its original bios... (lol, bit of a power hog for a dual core though)

Very nice and another example of your attention to detail (socket head cap screws look so much cooler than just plain old rivets or zinc plated screws).

Thanks for getting back to me so fast, and thanks for the great service.

Pro is an understatement...I cant wait to see what you do with the PS.

make sure you get fine tooth blades (24-36teeth per inch) for the jigsaw. If you try to use a coarse one problems will ensue..

thanks Craig, I never knew about that place.

I think I saw in EVGAs forum they will only give a 90day for the re certified cards...

HEY! where the hell did you get that t shirt?

Thanks modder man.. And ShepsCrook there is not a lot [H] about a 1.6ghz /6200 comp, lol....

More accurate. You seem to have a better command of English than I do (and I was born here);) thing is the 260 is a LOT longer than the 8800, also needs 2 6pin power cables (may need a PS upgrade as well) And none of this matters till we know that his hardware and res are.... (Newegg had...

LOL, he could just move his Hdd.... (lol, better yes, many times better no) Not to mention we better know what Res he games at before suggesting crazy cards...

The Gigabyte that kumquatsrus listed is the shortest one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125266 Its not a huge jump from a 8800 to it but it is better and the gig of mem will help if you run high res.... if ur willing to take a chance the HD4770 would fit quite...

"Wiring" is my thing, I could make my own. But notice the PS goes under the GPU, it also hits the memory, and would stick out the side of my comp. And just looks plain fugly... I am using a reg junk 20 pin PS to run the comp I just programmed it and to be honest its a pretty snappy little...

I honestly have no clue, thats where you all come in... Ideas..... I am doing 3 mods all at the same time. The Lego one is gonna be my 24/7 Pict place and surfer. Not to mention it will take a lot less space than my tower... Right now its just a square to hold the mobo,dvd and hdd. I was...

Thx __Miguel_for stopping by... SC, well right now I just need to mount the components to get it running (I hate having stuff all over the desk) The cool thing about Legos is I can tear it apart and add stuff as I go while still using the comp. I have a iMon (remote control and a...

mmmmm... fire good.....

I am the king of airflow....I promise it wont be a prob. Here is a shot showing where I "think" it will mount (as long as I didnt order the mount that flips the GPU, lol) I have a huge box of heatsinks, I will be looking through them to find a nice copper one for the CPU. Here it is with a...

lol, I was gonna water cool this one but honestly its a bit of a waste of components.. I just ordered one of these http://www.startech.com/item/MICROPCI7RIS-PCI-Slot-7-Riser-Card-for-ATX-Micro-Slim-Cases.aspx It will be interesting to see how it works out..

There are boards that allow kick butt CPUs and even PCIEx cards...Its just I got a really good deal on this one (plus I helped another member to get rid of it) so its kind of a win/win... A few years ago when I bought the Via PD (Via 1000mhz) it was a few hundred dollars so lucky for us prices...

Thanks ShepCrook, I havent plugged it in yet but I promise I will be messing with the coolers and fan. I have a basic shell made and Il get it programmed and running tonight so we can figure what to do to it. I am going with a similar format to my other SFF comps, wiring,DVD,hdds etc below the...

Ok last bump, these cards go on Ebay this afternoon. I would rather sell them to someone truly worthy (they are pretty speedy versions)

"Transformers"! that sounds pretty interesting.....I will definitely give it some thought. I remember when I did my first mod I saw a cool case by a guy that made it for his daughter, it was a cube and rather than hide the wires he wrapped them and made them look like vines and flowers. Its...

updated first post, almost all gone.....Better hurry folks. Thanks to all who took the time to PM....
