Project: White Destroyer

update

So here we are with a little update.

I tried again cutting a circle with the Dremel, and it went better this time. I had some garbage acrylic from my father's work, for practicing the art with the dremel.
I also made an other sketch of the res, cause the first one is not good. The part on the motherboards side is too thin/small, so I'm just going to make a big cut out.

So that's it for today. Tomorrow I'm going to see what I have to buy for the watercooling setup and what I still need for modding, and then it's shopping time.

See you next update!

Update

So here is a small update, cause one of my orders came in, still waiting on the order with most of the watercooling stuff.

So here are some pics of the stuff I have:

the order that came in from Caseking (thx for the candy by the way):

Cables for the power switch, probably gonna sleeve it white or red.

Fittings I bought second-hand (Is that the correct term in English? for something you bought from someone that had used it before?)

Got ten of these:

So that's it.
So lets start building the res! Yipikayee!!

Also my mother went to Ikea and bought a Dioder set (led strips in Swedish I guess) and I tested them on the ROG logo, but I'm not going to use them in the build/mod, maybe in my room, we'll see.

As you can see, the top of the case is removed, this is cause the white wasn't the same as the white of the other panels, so I started painting it again.

So as mentioned before, let's start with the reservoir, I hope it works, cause it would be sooooo nice.
All the other watercooling stuff is probably coming next week, don't know when, but I hope next week. Also school starts next week so less time for modding,
And not to forget, I finally have a sponsor.
The shop in Belgium where I bought my watercooling stuff gave me a discount, so nice, thx It-service.be

So:

This mod is sponsored by It-service.be

So see you next update!
 
Update coming soon, parts came in, but how :(

So that's everything I bought, I do like every single thing, now it's time to get started! And nothing seems broken, so thank you It-service.be for the good packaging, if you guys wouldn't do that everything might have been beaten up! And also thank you for sponsoring.

So I did some other things too.

As you maybe have seen, the NZXT Led strip kit, had a pci bracket for on/off switch and brightness control knob. So you can change the brightness at the back of your pc. But that wasn't good enough for me so I made this:

NZXT Led kit has a PCI slot bracket, I made something better!

A little bit not-straight, but it'll do just fine.

1yK6s.jpg

I made a bottom 6,1 by 4,1 cm just like the PCB of the module, no actually a little bit bigger (the PCB is 6 by 4) and then because the pins the pcb had on the bottom, I couldn't screw it down on the plate, so I made some acrylic "stand-offs" where the screws could be mounted on. And then just a little bit of glue and voila you get this bad ass baby, i really like it.

XuRDh.jpg

And of course 2 kits so 2 pcb's so 2 times the modding fun! The second one was a little bit better, it was straighter.

The two lamptron ledstrips on fire!

lYdQb.jpg

Twin leds on! I know it's a blury picture, but that white one was so f***ing bright! I almost went blind.

Owu0H.jpg

The top installed on the pump and....

EZzTh.jpg

.... of course I putt on the fittings and.....

ajsTg.jpg

...... I sleeved the cables red and white!


I also repainted the top panel of the 800D and now the colour is much better than before, it's a perfect match to the side panels.....

4aDvp.jpg


Qsr8w.jpg


f8Dvc.jpg

.....as you can see here.

I also finally putt on the window on the sidepanel, it's really clear.

Gi8jf.jpg


And as you can see, a small strip of aluminium is mounted below the window so you cannot see the PSU,.... But the colour doesn't match so gotta paint that one too, but at the moment the weather in Belgium doesn't allow me to do so.

aj8lV.jpg



So that's it for this update, I also uploaded some video's on youtube and there are more coming (a lot of unboxings and leds showoff video's) so be sure to check my channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/me29011993
There are also some gaming video's of me playing COD MW3 online AON beating the shit out of people!

So that's it, see you next update, going to mesure up all the things that need to be sawed from the acrylic panels and then it goes to my father's work and there he will do the cutting.
 
Great stuff there :)
Have you thought about buying LED strips then crimping them yourself? That is what I do now it is MUCH cheaper. I bought 50cm blue LED strips from eBay for about $2.5 each, crimped them and put some connectors on them. Total cost was around $3 per LED strip.
 
Yes i thought of that first, but since I didn't have any experience with that I thought lets buy some strips first, to see how they look and eventually when I need more from now, I will try to do it myself. Cause we are now having electronics at school and there we will learn how to make such things, so...
 
Dude, the shrink tubing should be tucked into the pump, you can still see bare wire, which completely defeats the object of sleeving!

Super easy to crimp the LED's because they already come with the 5v (red wire) and ground (black wire) attached so just buy some fan pins, power connector, squish the fan pins onto the wires, put the pins into the connector and BAM, you now have a fully functioning LED strip :)
I had NEVER done it before and it was super easy. I really didn't have anything to lose because they were so cheap anyway.
 
@Pexon: Dude, that's a part that you will never see, so it's not that important, the wires could be visible

Okay then I'll will have a look for strips and do it myself, I'm probably going to need more leds so np.

Thats not the point of modding, if you cant see it, it still needs to look good, I've spent so much time on my sleeving, but 80% of it isn't even going to be seen. I've had this argument before.... Have pride in your work, there is no point doing a half-arsed job
