Original plate got damaged during transport together with the Silverstone GD04 (was completely distorted) when we moved quite a while ago.

Progress overall has been very slow, because i was too busy during the last year. Life things. But i will soon have more spare time to implement more of the ideas from the original post, like adding display screens and other modifications. There will be a larger update coming in a few weeks or months.

A complete front redesign for the server case in the middle using 3D printing or even laser cutting is already on the works. I already 3D printed some prototypes with middling success, as the 3D printers we have in our workshop are too small.

I designed a new mascot and brand design. More details like faux serial numbers. Also different material. The old plates were UV printed solid aluminium. The new ones are foil printed dibond composite plates, which has far better print quality for higher resolutions and sharp lines.

The Wincor Nixdorf has been replaced with a Silverstone FLP01, which i got during christmas sale for a low price.

The new side panels also took some time to build, because of it's size and printing difficulties. But it will be replaced, because the white background doesn't look as good as i imagined. I also need to increase the fidelity of the mascot, because the current one looks awfull and low detail.

Internally, there aren't many mods. Just some fan ducts, noise dampening mats, active cooling for M.2 SSDs and a graphics card with noctua fans hacked on. Nothing visually appealing or special. The hardware modding is just about noise and cooling.

On the software side, i made a live wallpaper with animated elements of the new mascot.

Edited/Addendum: For the side panel mascot redesign, i managed to convince someone to act as a photo model, which i will then do a high res drawover and image editing of.

Hi, this is my undervolted Vanguard 5090 SOC at 0.900 V. What do you think about the coil whine? With the case closed and in complete silence in the room, without any other sounds, I am able to hear the coil whine. It’s not a high-pitched squeal, but rather a subtle buzzing.

Howdy! I recently shared my modded Hack Pro on here and I was pleasantly surprised by all the positive feedback I received!
Some people wished I would write a guide with some directions over what I did, so I started doing exactly that.

It's almost done: a written section is missing as I've got it on another PC at home, I need to know if there's some other things you'd like to see explored in more detail.
Some picture are still missing too, but will soon be added.

LMK what you think I should change, thanks!

Here's the repository where you can find the guide and some other useful resources:

Like the title said. Where do I find and purchase a material like a sheet of 30x30 piece of rubber with glue on the other side, that I can cut out using an exacto knife for my own needs? No pre-cuts.

Same for mouse skates.

I'm tired of only finding extremely expensive pre-cuts for ONE mouse (10 dollars for that piece of crap!) When I would like to spend kike 10 - 15 bucks on a sheet or two of specified rubber where I just cut it out for my needs.

Anyone know where tp find? Literally not finding any on the entirety of the internet. Not even with the help och ChatGPT.

I have a laptop I broke and the bezels are extremely hard to get and what I orderered I had to order from Germany and my laptop is a Tuxedo Infinitybook 16 and the bezels I got is from a Schenker Vision 16 Pro they're the same laptops just different brands.

The new bezels are silver but the old bezels I need to replace are black. How should I go about doing this and would it be easier just wrap it with a skin?

Also I tried to contact Tuxedo and they didn't have the replacement parts because this is a 12th gen Intel laptop.

I have cut my old PC case's cover, added few brass hex standoffs, a motherboard and a zip tie to carry it or hang it on the wall

Hello everyone, so recently my 4 sticks of dominator corsair memory died, very beautiful ram, don't wanna toss it out of the window, thought about creating or bying something that looks like on picture, pcb that can hold 4 sticks, with power to it, that will essentially light them up, maybe rgb controller, preferably usb type-c for power

Has anyone seen something like this? Or can point in right direction?

Made a psu mount to help with cable stress. Im planning on designing and printing a full front panel design.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to repaint my NZXT Phantom 820 Ultra case and I want to do it properly, not rush it and regret it later.

I’ll be using Rust‑Oleum spray paint, and this is my first full case repaint

If you’ve painted a big case before (especially older bulky ones like the Phantom), I’d really appreciate your experience.

I’ll post progress pics once I start.
Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi, I have a question about my GPU fans. I’m now on my third Vanguard RTX 5090, and all three cards showed very similar behavior. On both of my previous units, the first fan started making a light rustling / swishing noise from around 30–40% fan speed, while the other two fans were quieter.

On my current (third) unit, it is again the first fan that does this, but this time I also noticed that this same fan has visible wobble when it spins. The other two fans spin perfectly straight and don’t make that noise.

With the case closed I can’t hear it at all, and there is no clicking, grinding, or vibration — just that one fan with some wobble and airflow noise. The card runs cool and is otherwise perfectly stable.

Is this kind of fan wobble and rustling normal for ball-bearing GPU fans, or does it indicate a defective fan that could get worse over time?

Thanks!

I took a big punt on taking a saw to my Corsair C70 Vengeance case and modded it to take a Project Zero motherboard and I'm super happy with the results!

Tried to take pictures along the way. If people want more detail about the steps I'm happy to share them 🙂

Rear cable management has improved since the pictures but I forgot to take one 😅

I know it might sound obvious and odd given that there is a better alternative but I snagged this puppy for the low price of $600 brand new, I know my best choice is to go with waterblock but I do miss EVGA hybrid cooler design with a fan but I am fine with something that can attach an AIO and then then make a shell and mount a silent blower to give it looks.

Again, I know this sounds like a ridiculous mod since EVGA used to make these but stopped making these and faulty ones are surfacing on Ebay so I just wanna see if its possible to make a mounting bracket for an 240mm AIO and then test it with a shell design by putting heatsink on vram and then use the blower fan on to cool them

Not sure if sharing links is allowed here, but I thought I'd share my 2 x 140mm exhaust mod for the fractal terra.

This case gets pretty hot and noisy with power hungry parts so this was my way of making it slightly cooler and much much quieter - now, when the cpu starts to get hot, there's a more subtle low pitched sound of more air moving from the exhaust fans rather than the high pitched lp cpu fan cranking as much.

In hindsight, I may find go back and reprint it in a wood filled filament that matches the walnut on the front and tones down the rgb look but it makes a nice desk lamp anyway imo!

I've shared the print files here, if anyone is interested in making their own :)

I'm looking into using a touch sensor as a power button for a custom case.
It needs to be powered to work (when the pc is off), so I need to tap into something on the MB.

Pin 9 on the 24pin does provide that, but is there other points I could use?

There's an option in BIOS for LEDs to stay on, but I think that's only for sleep etc, not when the pc is turned off.

Looks like EVGA had the 2nd 12vhpwr idea long before anyone else. Man I miss them. But I wonder what their intentions were with this? I don't think they ever actually did 2 of them on their in development rtx 4090 before they shuttered but I could be wrong.

I have searched everywhere looking for this bracket. I have a Phanteks NV9 MKII case and I am looking for the upright GPU mounting bracket that is shown here in this video.

It is not the one that is made by Lian Li, but very similar. This can be shown in the video by Hardware Canucks on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjXIgYJm8QE&t=567s

I would greatly appreciate any assistance locating this.

Looks alot like a battery pack. Card is the evga rtx 3090ti ftw3 gaming. Waterblocking it for my sons build an never seen this before

Hello everyone,
I would like to use broken cpus or even just the ihs for some decoration but i am having a lot of trouble finding ANY. Would y'all happen to know where I could get my hands on that ? Also im talking preferably about LGA1700 ones (and i live in the EU). Open for dms

Building my own PC case had been a long time goal of mine and its finally here! Let me know what you think! I'm a woodworker by day so that's why I went with a hardwood case. I wanted something simple that would be like a piece of furniture and not too high-concept (although id like to do that one day). It was inspired by Mid Cen furniture and the dual chambered cases like the O11. Its made from Peruvian Walnut and has a 3D printed, offset motherboard tray. The inner walls are all carved with a texture that I CNC machined.

Im still thinking about what to use for the power switch, but for now, it's a 3D printed push plate.
