i7 Skeleton build and mod log
- Thread starter G-Dubs
- Start date
Can't wait for the final pics!
Well its all finished, took just over a month in all
Like I said at the outset, this is my first ever mod, and i've learned a few things along the way (especially about painting) I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out
Powered up last night, temps look good (as they are with this case), and the 1850rpm typhoon has brought things down another 3 degrees or so, and is not noticably louder than the 1450 version.
OC'd to 4gigs no problem and primed for a few hours this morning without problem. thinking of going to 4.2 but will let things sit for a while at 4gigs first.
Would love to know what you guys think, good or bad.
Many thanks to all that assisted with comments and advice along the way.
Next project will be a sonata III, It's piano Black on the outside, so thinking of going high gloss whiite on the inside with white braiding to match, but still mulling it over.

You've done an excellent job, especially as it's your first build.
I love the colour scheme too. Cracking job.
(It's making me think I should start mine now!)

totally agree, just got to work out how to wire the things in. didn't want it to hold things up unnecessarily though.
any hints of where you got the LEDs from?
switches with yellow LEDs that are yet to be fitted came from states (i forget where) but they cost me a fortune to get over here. I have some other LEDs that I am planning to use to replace the ones in the power switch and HDD light etc but need to gen up on a bit of electronics first as I wouldn'y assume it's so easy as just swapping them over. They came from a popular retail park electronics components outlet
does that happen to begin with an M

If the new LED's are the same voltage as the ones you're replacing then it's just a case of swapping them over. If they are different voltages then you'll probably have to add resistors into the circuit.
