Well i finnaly got the last part i need to complete my turbine mod. I will have to redo the moding around the trubine itself because instead of putty i was using welding compound lol. but wihtout further adoo here it is

that's pretty cool! i'd do it on mine, but eem...my case doesn't quite work like that. it's kind of hard to explain.

I give you great respect for cutting up a lian case! That mod looks very smooth, great job!

ummmm redish orange or orangish red... pretty

its not a lian its a x-dreamer.

heres a farther away pic.

...looks like you should smooth that up a wee bit....kinda...err....tapey looking IMO

is that wrinkly stuff around the turbine the welding compound?
looks good
the only thing i kinda dont like is the design around it
i would of just put the turbine in without cutting the case

ya the ring around it is the part i hate. I got some putty which will make it all better. goonna putty the entire bezel.

I think ill go do that now.

Give us some new pics when you've done that, then
Good job anyway, better than anything I've done

Where do you guys get those nose cones on the fans

Hm hm

Hobby shop. go to the plane section and pick up a 1 3/4" spinner

Hey man this is pretty awesome. Have you noticed any temp changes from it?

lol i didnt do it for the temps.

anyways. working with putty is the biggest biotch in the whole world. Its lookin preaty good. It just snowed outside so i donno when i can paint it again. but Ill give er a good rip tommorow morn

yeah for snow
i woke up today and there was snow
i was omg where the hell did this come from

but i get to go snowboarding soon

ya know general - you could have saved yourself a lot of work and frustration if you just looked at the pvc plumbing pipe section at a hardware store for some end caps that look almost exactly like what you are trying to do there

i know mod'n something from scratch is more rewarding but what you ahve done there looks like a part that i seen today

well i couldnt find anything like that. i looked for a long time too. Like 2 weeks.

I originally went to the car store in hope that they had some. (the use the same sort of device for making sub boxes) but alas they didnt. went to a few dif hardware and home reno stores. I finally decided to do it myself with pvc piping. anyways i need another paintjob on the bezel. The last one looked like . thanks to the retarded paint the guy sold me

anyways im almost done sanding. should be finished by tommorow. I also have an idea on how to add that extra zing. to it.

A little touch up would be nice.

Nice fan you must have really good cooling. What about if somthing goes into that fan shouldn t you have a gril for it?

i dont use grills mainly cause they stop air flow and your an idiot if your sticking your fingers in there. its worth the risk of better cooling and better looking for the chance of a little blood and pain. or at least IMHO

If ur dumb enough to stick ur fingers inthere u deserve it.

i also didnt do this for the cooling. Did it for asethetics. Im running down to the hardware store to get some primer

hopefully ill have this done by the end of the day

lol, i think the idea of grills is so you don't accidentally stick your finger in there, like if you're moving your case and not looking where your fingers are or i dunno, not on purpose anyway

Lol. Dead topic BACK FROM THE DEAD

way to be mate

In responce to the finger thing, my friend decided to see how powerful my 120mm antec pro fan was, while it was running.... luckly he pulled away before it did anything but get his finger tip pretty red.

lmao! bollocks... too many dang tabs open... got confused

dude just put sharp point of a nail pointing at you... that would hurt so much... lol

about the nose cone, go o any hobbie shop they should have self make rocket kits and you can use the nose cone for a turbine MOD, Enjoy!! Hope that help

I stick my fingers into my fans all the time.... But than again I use stock-fans.

(I should ask for some good ones for christmas!!)

well unless u use a 120mm x 36mm metal fan or higher it wont really hurt you.

about the nose cone thing..

ya just goto a hobby store and pick up a 3/4" spinner (found in the airplane section)

Nice job general. How fast is the fan spinning? Is it a low RPM for less noise, or a fast sucker and who cares bout the noise? .

P.S. Please tell me you got the 9800 Pro. Stupid Customs!!!

Even those don't do (that much) damage.

lol, i accidentally put my finder in a 92mm tornado at full speed, that sucker cut a chunk of skin off my thumb and snapped the blade, i made sure the replacement tornado i bought came with a grill.

everyone give ravix a hand for being the resurrector of the day!

actully you gotta give that hand (Or Finger ) To Vasto because he dug up the thread.

oh snaps... thats a good idea, doesnt look like it was done well, looks like the cone is cracked or chipped, but its a good idea none-the-less.

what about making sure the cone is balanced and centered? if it isnt centered and balanced then it will mess up the fan bearings over time.

--Vaelen2001

well in the first pic it looks like the fan is an exhaust and the cone isnt attached to the fan it self just like the frame of it in the center...

Thank you everyone. If I had a custom title, I would change it to "Forum Jesus" because I can resurect posts.

you all are way off topic but my 120mm fan doesn't hurt that much...
did you know that my finger was cut off when i was 5 years old by a machine
closing door
but have you thought about using metal fans for the Turbine
it woudl look more like a machine

umm i dont understand ur posts what so ever alown...

lol..... my 80mm fnas dont hurt, but that turbine idea is cool, maybe ill have to mod my case some more, i got the same one as you Gen, i like how u removied that stuipd plexy off the fornt.

I took the plexi off. all you gotta do is remove the shinny things with pliers.

anyways the cone:

Its actully the nose for an airplane, and it has holes for the properel.

It looks alot dif now. I just gotta glue it and i cant find my glue anywhere

i had my case open once and i was moving some wires here and there. i forgot that my volcano 12+ was running at 5200 rpms and it cut my finger open. i have a scar.
