Project : Monolith

Thanks all :)

Another small update.

Had time to sort the window to follow my original black/red design.

Black tint and Dark Red tint 3mm acrylic.

Missus had a bit of an accident, nothing serious, so i can't do anything too noisy at the moment hence the brief posts.

Should be back to normal next week,

Cheers,

Update time :)

As i've been on nursemaid duties looking after the missus, i've been confined to desktop mods - braiding and soldering etc..

Wasn't a great fan of the floppy bezel cover on the front of the case ( does anyone still use them ? )

The easy option would have been a fan controller or card reader to plug the space, but i wanted something subtle that kept the front smooth.

All the way from China, via an auction site, a simple USB HD44780 display

As with 99% of these, they are a blue display :(

Managed to find a Red on Black screen , so just needed to solder the screen to the USB circuit board

Then out with the hacksaw, ansd some dark tint acrylic to make the fascia

And voila ;

The colour i wanted for the water loop was a deep red, or blood red.

So i contacted someone who clearly ( i'm sure there's a joke there ! ) knows his stuff when it comes to dyes - Mayhem Dyes.

Mick / mayhem was a great help and very kindly agreed to sponsor me what was needed.

I've spoilt the surprise now, but guess what's in the box ?

Still wandering ?

A rainbow of liquid goodness

Enough dyes for this build, and plenty more to experiment with, top stuff :)

Lets meet the team

Should have some fun mixing them at the weekend, and fitting the water cooling.

Back soon ( barring accidents ;) )

Cheers,

Looking great, although if you went for deep purple you would have to rename the build to "smoked.. and on water" :)
 
I see you are using those phenoptix leds again. Quick question do you know if it is possible to get themto flash on and off or to have a kind of strobe effect?
 
Cheers guys, thanks for the comments :)

Time for a bit of an update :)

Made a small acrylic ' lens' for the Asus mobo logo ( which used to illuminate in a whitish blue colour when powered up ), keeps it in keeping with the colour scheme.

After playing with the dyes kindly sponsored by Mayhem Dyes, i was very pleased to come up with exactly the colour i wanted :)

I hope the pictures do the shade of red justice.

Northbridge to CPU is always a tight bend, so this short length eliminates the problem.
