[Project Log] Solar Storm - My first build
- Thread starter Bowerz
- Start date
So, i now have the new v4 res and it's all installed, just taking some time before i drop the dye in as i stained my carpet draining the old rig! But we're getting there. Things on the list:
- Install UV lighting
- Wire up custom made light controller (this one i think you guys will like!)
- Finish the side panel
- OVERCLOCK!
- Install UV lighting

- OVERCLOCK!
So first 3 on the list are done! Exciting time, pictures and a demo vid of my custom light controller to follow!
Obviously this is my every day rig. Not a show piece. So will never be 'done' any always updating. I still have plans for a GFX card, the second 2 sticks of RAM, filling up the 2 spare relay channels for the lighting controller and a couple small other things. But i can happily use this machine now!

So here we have it:
Firstly the ugly part. Tried my best here to keep tidy but this is the best i can achieve
Looking much nicer with the side on!
Here we see tucked away is the relay controller in a foam base that then fits onto one of the hard drive carriers quite nicely
On the top there's not much going on, Just the Aerocool shark fans with the speed reducers to keep them ultra quiet!
Now with the roof on and the fans just peeping through the mesh
With the front off (Note this an old photo with the v3 Res/Pump)
The front on
Ugly naked sight! Please note the blue USB lead is temporary
Was trying to capture the top back corner here
Here we see the UV light stripping, note is all braided by myself
To give an idea of whats going on behind the res
And Now what we've all been waiting for, with the lights on:
With the lights out:
Will get some more 'polished' photos soon
The front of the Res, bad photo:
