On topic: Last night my HTPC was giving me grief by not booting and my HSF not spinning. Too the PSU from my gaming PC used it in the HTPC everything worked fine (thinking the HTPC PSU was at fault)

Assembled the HTPC again with original PSU and put it back in the case, booted up first go, fan spinning and watching movies.

hmm, what have I done today.

I pulled apart my G15 to remove and replace the USB cable with a bigger better badder one. (it got ripped in half coming home from a LAN)

Got halfway through making the control circuit for my custom PC's external control box and got pissed off with using a prototype board so am now waiting for my bottle of ammonium persulphate to come to etch a PCB instead.

found out that motherboard standoffs are NOT in fact metric coarse M3 but I can't figure out what they actually are (If anyone can help with this It'd be much appreciated)

Yesterday I upgraded my 1 x 1TB storage drive to 2 x 1TB in RAID1 for peace of mind. I now have an even dodgier hard drive mount for my SSDs than CM96; they're currently leaning on a tube, held up by the SATA cables

Also need to reattach the front bay covers, and mod some silicone fan dampeners to work on my quad radiator so I can reattach the fans (currently the only fans are on the 184 rad, still going fine

)

Got my custom backplate back from the powder coaters and my mid plate as well, yelled at my bro for not cutting and bending my new front plate, received news of the shipment of my new window and rad =]

Apart from that not much, gotta measure up my pump for a bracket, said yesterday i would do it today, now im saying today that ill do it tomorrow =]

Ahh nice!

silentlightning · 7th October 2010, 8:54 AM

pretty much non existant, its 2 of these one down each side with the little wire at the entering the case with all the wires for front panel IO and connected to a fan power splitter with the heads cut off.

I just took out my shitty red acrylic out of my modded side panel on my haf 932 and put some clear acrylic in, ill post some pics up in the morning.

Wootwagon · 7th October 2010, 8:58 PM

made the pump bracket that i said i was gonna do yesterday, and the day before, getting it powder coated tomorrow

EPS12v 8-pin extension cable so I can route the cable along the side (wouldn't fit through the hole to go down the back).

1. Pulled a noisy fan off the i865PE chip on the mobo,
2. Blew the dust out of whatever I could without completely disassembling the thing.
3. Replaced the CMOS battery with one that actually has a charge (at least I think it does, I found it in my bits 'n pieces box).

Bow down before my 1337 elxtronic skillz.
