wicked

[chazz469]

VERY, VERY clean. Nice job.

That Rig is Pretty Pimp.

I'm interested in doing something similar, with one of the
new Chieftec aluminum cases.

Nice work.

Who made those power cables or where did you get them because i definately want to hook up with some...

[admar2]

all the power cables are custom length, did them myself..

you can get the right-angle connectors either from digikey.com or from MOLEX---for free if you are lucky.... MOLEX gives free "demo" samples.


that thing houses a p4 now :D

[Sanjuro]

how did you make the fans glow? UV paint?

[admar2]

those clear fans glow naturally under a black cold cathode light

Thank you sir :-)

[Hallis]

took me forever to find the part on their site,, geez.. heh do you need anything special to install them?

are you using pcmod's uv ccd's?

[admar2]

just a UV cold cathode..

and yep, I got them from PCMODS

those silver braided cables look so sweet under the UV cold cathode!!!

[GenGoku]

awesome! you made my day (and saved me $17 + shipping on white cables i thought i'd have to get)

did you put any day-glo in your water setup? if so, which ones (can't tell if the water looks blue due to the rounded cables reflection or uv reactive water color)

thx

[admar2]

I've got the blue/blue UV dye in my water...

[Hallis]

did you need any special tools to install those molex connectors admar?

[admar2]

i didn't use any special tools..

just a big pair of side cutters (linesman pliers) to squeeze the back part of the connector on

[Hallis]

just ordered :-) and for the rest of you guys that may be interested if you order from www.digikey.com the part # is 15-24-3030 :-)


Also,, was looking and your system would really look nice with s tiny bit of UV reactive dye in the water.

Looks pretty sweet, I can't wait to get a hold of a good digicam so I can get some shots of my PC70 floating around here.

Oh and BTW what are those Magizines for? An M9 (Baretta 92FS)?

yep, stainless 9mm beretta :D

[decodeddiesel]

Sweet weapon, I've carried an M9 many a days in the Army. I've got a Springfield Armory 1911 .45 ACP myself, but I wouldn't mind buying a 92FS for myself.
