Darklord Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 excellent work there. You really have inspired me. I am also thinking of getting back to some modding.Although India sucks as far as getting modding stuff is concerned. For example, Antec LED Fans cost cool 18$ here.

Guest Blooz1 Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Well, you can't use "Hornet". I think it's Monarch Computers has a proprietary SFF box they sell as the "Hornet"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrr6 Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Really sweet job, how long did it take overall ? 2 thumbs up ! !! About a month all together ----working on and off... The fans were the hardest and longest. Painting, finding the right resistor, wiring, and strength of LED combo took a while. Ruined a bunch of fans in the process. First batch I did used the voltage lead of the fan to power the LEDs----big mistake as I run most of the fans off the fanbus at lower voltage for quiet----which made the LEDs VERY dim. Had to rewire all of them with a separate voltage lead directly to the LEDs so they stayed nice and bright regardless of fan speed/voltage. I really like that big 120 x 38 Low speed Panaflow with a Thremalright XP-120 heatsink. A very good combo for this board----the overhang even blows air on the RAM!

GriFFen Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Beautiful Rig John. I have a question about the fans. Was it hard taking them apart? I have a Vantec Stealth 120 that i want to paint lime green, but im not sure exactly how to take the blades out. :confused: Either way, it's nice to see people put time and effort into a project and have it come out that nice. Great Job! GriFF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Job! GriFF thanks.... It seemed like every fan was different----but the common factor was a VERY small type of slip ring/washer holding the blade axle from slipping out. I used the tip end of an exacto knfe and a magnifying glass to gently pop off the slip ring-----push the axle out. Then just get the bearings or the washers put back in the right order when you are done----and pop the slip ring/washer back on Lube the fan with some lithium grease or 3-1 oil while you have it apart. There is usually a sticker or a cap over where you get to the axle and slip ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
