Hello Friendly OCN users. I am a noob. A huge noob. And I need your help.
Actually, I don't expect anyone to read this, which is OK, b/c I can use this thread as my own personal diary about the crap I'm going to go through.
First, a little about me:
-macbook user for last 4 years, prior to that I had an asus laptop for 4 years, and before that an imac for some time
-I'm broke, and have been my whole life, but for once I got a job that gives me a little bit of money so I'm blowing it all on this project and my wife is gonna kill me
-I know the basics of modding from this forum, but I have no clue about any of the little details
My plan:
-a crisp, mostly black, computer with a red watercooling theme
-I want to make it simple with a clean look, and I won't take on a challenge if it means risking a "home-made" look, so to speak
-due to finances and time constraints, this will be over many months
What I have officially bought, including tools:
Cooler Master 932 Advanced Case
Corsair Powersupply
Cooler Master Turbine Fan
Fan grills
TWO duals (I wanted to keep the four fan on side panel thingy going
for top of case
Fan Filters
(to place behind the grills so black flames over red background
Black and Decker Rotary tool w/ accessories + DeWalt Drill (+bit and drivers set)
Black and Decker jigsaw JS660 (+ assortment blade set and 5 bosch blades that look like theyd be good for metal)
Other goodies: safety glasses, metal file set, scotch double tape, pack of cheapest coolermaster 120mm fans, painters tape, 6-32 35mm and m4 10mm sized nylon bolts, washers and nuts, clear red and black acrylic sheets, weld-on 3 glue w/ syringe bottle, makeda hole saw, B&D cheapest hole saw set, circle template, grommets, cheapest 80mm fans, spray paints, sandpaper, temperature gauge, adjustable circle cutter
***edit*** the amount of extras I have now bought makes it difficult to list them all, but if you have a question just ask me.
pg 3 update: trying to figure out the front...
pg 5 update: window and side grill
