Overclockers Club's Unofficial Ghetto Mod Thread!

[oldfett]

so you admit my ghetto mods are much better than yours! x:P

 

If by better you actually mean down right dangerous to the hardware and other people who may try your harebrained and idiotic mod...yes yours is better.

[Rehit]

i kind of like having the #1 QX6800 and Xeon E3110 in PCMark Vantage.

you got anything to show for your ghetto mod???

let me know when it gets you to 21874 in 3DMark 06.

holy $#!+ looks like you got you new card in?? so I like that airconditioner vent idea, do you mind if I copy it when it gets warmer where I'm at??

My ghetto rig only does 25882 3DMarks

dang water...

[crash]

This is my new build, Coolermaster CM stacker 830 SE, Asus P5N32-E, E6750 4gb OCZ (Come on ajmatson I'm getting ancy where is it!?) XFX 8800 GT w/ accelero modded w/zalman cnps-7000 LED fan, Kingwin Mach 1 650 yadda yadda.

 

My mod was the fan on the accelero. The fan bracket from the Zalman CNPS heatsink fit perfectly.

First picture is my messy comp room, cold Guinness on the desk

i will even tell you an easy way to create the duct since you do not own a fab shop like i do...

this part will actually give you the stuff to make two.

Lowes 90 degree Duct

that is two pieces that interlock together.

take one section and lay open a window from the open end to suit your AC unit.

this will become a flap on top to secure to the unit.

notch the open end so that you can fold the ends over like the ends of a cardboard box.

secure with a couple self tapping sheet metal screws and seal with duct tape.

secure the duct to the AC unit and attach this this hose.

this piece makes a nice termination point to secure to your PC.

drill a couple holes in it, and for maximum ghetto effect secure with wire ties...

a note you need to read closely Phil...

be sure the PC is the highest thing in the loop.

i think you are well aware what water will do to your PC... ROFL

Um, with that hose thing, you would need to have a circular cpu heatsink fan such as the ruby orb to funnel out the hot air , correct? What solution is there for us that use cpus like this : http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...8&CatId=798

i have an Ultra 120 Extreme with two 120MM fans in a push pull config.

it doesn't matter what your cpu cooler looks like.

you are simply pumping cold air in thru the side panel.

if you look at the image i posted you will see that.

the ducting is not connected directly to the cpu cooler.

the cold air actually cools everything in the case.

the 120MM fans do grab it and pump it thru the heatsink.

there is another 120MM fan in the back of the case directly behind the heatsink that draws the air out the back.

Hi guys,

 

Here's my ghetto WIFI antenna that I think resolved my connection problem:

 

Look here

[hardnrg]

I think you do actually have everything in your house just to win at the photo game

 

How did you attach the wire to the candle-lamp-frame thing?

I just sticked it with electrical tape. As for the WIFI card, I simply forced the small pin, which normally enters into the antenna, to enter in the wire sheath. But I will probably solder it. Do you think there would be something better ? Don't know, connecting it to a solenoid instead ? Or to my PC case ?
