Project Log: Our Little Devil

Yes its true, I have started a new MOD.
Lets start by explaining the Name "Our Little Devil", this actually refers to TAZTG our Siberian Husky who passed away. He was actually a Little Devil cause he got into so much stuff when he was a pup.
The MOD itself will be simple and clean consisting of a Special/Custom Paint job with a Special Ordered Vinyl on the Side Panel. Plans include stealthing, clean wiring and what ever else may come up in the process.

Here's the case: LIAN LI PC-60USB B2 Silver
In my opinion a great case for modding.

Currently, the case is completely stripped apart awaiting painting.
Case Hardware will include the following:
ASUS P5N32-E SLI
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB
Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD3201ABYS 320GB
Antec TPQ-850 ATX12V / EPS12V
LG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe
Audigy 2ZS Pro Platinum

Anyway this will be a small but clean MOD. PICS of current status to follow.
Don't expect no Crazy out of my Budget type of MOD.
;)

Ooooh... looking forward to it!! :D

I'll be checking for progress ;)

What, no 8GB of memory? :p

Love that case still.

Heh Heh, wish it had 8GB. 2GB for each Core would be sweet.

Anyway here's a few PICs as promised. I am just taking my sweet time installing the Hardware. Need to order a Short Black Sleeved ATA Connector and like to get a Black SATA connector for a Single drive. Trying to keep the inside theme the same. Even though it won't have a Side Panel Window I still like a nice clean case.:)

lol, right before I clicked back into this thread, I updated my sig. Very appropriate. :p


Performance PC's is where I get a lot of my stuff for custom SATA connections.

As for the cable, why not use vinyl dye on a regular one? Or are the custom color ones coming down in price?

5.99 at Frozen CPU. I like the ANTEC Cobra Cables but it appears they have been discontinued. Anyway Black ones ordered.

I removed the two front intake fans in my pc-65, and zip-tied one 120mm Scythe in their place. Doesn't exactly look sano the way I did it, but it's effective. Just a little something to consider.

Nice, Taz.. I look forward to seeing this progress.
:)

Speaking of Progress. I just tested out my Stealth Drive before painting. Looks pretty good and actually works. I had to shim the top a little to make it even once it was installed. Good old double-sided tape. Here's a couple of PICS.

I have two more Cables on their way and then I will take a PIC of the nice clean looking inside. Can't get use to how quiet this case is. Should I install my Loud Arse fans?? No, I think we will keep it quiet for no. LOL

Another small update!
Got the new cables in and they fit really good. There is only one thing I don't really like about the ASUS Mobo and thats the 24V Power Connector location. Sure does make a tight squeeze for the ATA Cable. Anyway you can see the Cable cut for the Sound Card (Sacrificed a Power Strand by snipping and rewiring). Have been going back and forth with exterior paint schemes and ideas with my Buddy. I am just going to set him loose and see what his artistic side and create. The Vinyls arrived and look really good. Anyway more updates to follow.

I know its been a long time since an update so here goes one.

Some parts I ordered just arrived and they look pretty good.
I ordered a new Lian-Li Side Panel cause the one that came with the case has grill holes on it thats even to big for a 120mm grill.
Lian Li Side Panel PC-60 PLUS II Cases - Silver

Here's a PIC of the parts I ordered. I want to note that each one came wrapped like the one shown on the right. They look fantastic! Thanx to Bill for some free Cable Clamps. Nice;)

Now here is a Sneak Peak of the Side Panel with the Machine Billet Fan Grills and the Custom Vinyl. Note: The Vinyl will also have a Alum. Frame installed around it and the Panel will be custom painted a dark blue.
I am not sure of how I will lay them out yet but I am kinda leaning toward the first PIC.

Will do some cutting this weekend and post some more updates.

Nice Vinyl. Did you get that at MNPCTech?

Nope, got that from GraphX Online. They actually sent me two one is just a tad darker. The customer service was pretty good.

Here's a small update.

Did a little drilling. I am going to do a little polishing plus I also have 2 sheets of Aluminum 6061 3/8"x12"x12" on order. Thats for the Frame.
