da tick 07

i was bored over the last week so i decided to get rid of those old blue LEDs and change my case around a little. if anyone wants specific pictures or has any questions feel free to ask. also... i plan on putting some sort of light around the window if anyone has any ideas

future mods:
light- LED strip?
stealth drive for the dvd
get another 120mm silent fan(non-LED)
wire the HDD activity light but solder in a different color LED
core i7?
EVENTUALLY paint the whole inside a flat black

in progress:
soldering in LEDs for the 2nd front fan
heatshrinking some wires=]

working on the fans here:









my messsy work drawer=]

testing that color out

psu:

i love this card

for these brackets i had some paint lying around so i used it





stopped for a while to help with the pool=]







getting rid of those 3-pin connectors



i got some 18AWG wire and wired up the top 140mm fans for some easy wire management



bringing the newly wired cables down





i was testing the green LEDs i soldered in on an extra PSU i had

If you mean like light up the inside you can use a green cathode at the bottom the have one near the top

do you think that would be the easiest way to go?
ive never used one before. i was thinking about using an LED strip since I've worked with LEDs before.

I've soldered half of the LEDs in my 2nd front fan. It looks pretty cool half blue half green =]. I had to go out so I didn't get to finish. I'll post some pics when I install it.

Anyone have ideas on stealthing my drive? Should I just attach the faceplate mesh thing and wire up a switch or just drill a hole in the faceplate so I can press the button in the front?

i just finished soldering the 2nd front fan. heres the pics:




this is going to be my main issue when i get a light for inside my case..

anyone have any cable management ideas?
once i get a new cpu cooler, ill heatshrink the cables and im thinking about buying black or uv green sata cables. the hd audio and usb are the black wires which also annoy me. i might just delete the hd audio as i dont use the front ports but i ALWAYS use the front usb
anyone like my uv green heatshrink on the gts 250? =]]

im not going to have enough money for a core i7 for a while (im only 16 lol)
im thinking about going with this setup. its:
xfx 790i ultra
ZALMAN CNPS9700 NT cooler (green LED)
Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333(green)

this comes to about 300 dollars. heres the pics






also. i found a fan guard i had laying around and put it on. i like it=]
(picture of what it used to look like first)








i would appreciate any input on the setup. ive always liked in nvidia colors. the evga mobos look nice too but i always shop newegg and the xfx ultra seems to be cheaper with better ratings
