    Latest gear built on a medium budget.

    Night shot. My rooms...    		 I bought a new desk just for this computer. I built the desk myself which was fun. Also, new monitor. 22" Samsung WS S2253BW. I pretty sure its a C panel, but for $298aud, I'm not complaining. It looks fantastic. Speakers under the desk and a Logitech sub, all hooked up to a pre-amp I salvaged together myself. The best sounding stereos are always the ones you build yourself...yeah...

    General.
    This Gamecube mod was to put two rumble motors in one controller. It worked, and you can feel the difference, but of course, the voltage is being split between the two. Still cool though.

    I finally got all the parts in the mail. Are you supposed to spend this much on case modding? I don't know, but I having so much fun.

The sketch I did earlier was a little reminiscent of flames, and that's getting a little old now, so I changed it to...tentacles! It looks cool, trust me. I doubt you'll be able to find tentacles on any other case. So the shot above is of both panels, painted. One of them has the stencil stuck on. I can't paint right away though because the weather is horrible at the moment, and the paint won't dry properly.

    Title: First Case Mod
    Created: 14.08.2007 17:17
    My first case mod. Saw a tutorial on how to make a blowhole and taught myself the rest.
    Yeah, this beast is ready to play Half Life 2 on medium graphics...ooohhh yeah. the blowhole was cut using a hole saw. Then I stuck some pvc pipe in there, patched it up with some car putty (filler, bog, whatever), and sanded it etc...painted... Then I put a grill in the back and an 80 mm trans-blue led fan. For some stupid reason I didn't think to make the blowhole BIGGER, or just make more but HEY, this is my first mod. I can't beat myself up about it too much. Oh yeah, and it looks kickass.
