Ghetto Mods

im bored so i will elaborate.

LEDs are semiconductors. This means that they have a negative temperature coefficient for resistance. The hotter it gets, the lower the resistance gets and so more current flows which in turn means MOAR heat.

so its always advised to have a resistance in series with the LED.
if 'V' is the voltage of your source.
'v' the voltage rating of your LEDs
'i' the current that should flow through the LED
and R the resistance required...

V - v = i R
or R=((V-v)/i

nice. i keep it.

moar zipties!

a temporary solution to my heat troubles... well so long as it doesn't get over 90deg in my room. but it helps a little.

And some modding I did with an accessory for an xbox 360. the connnector didn't quite line up with the one I have. my xbox is the model with the hdmi and the standard connector while this part was designed for the other... so i hacked it open... there are also a couple exhaust fans on it as well.

don't need to buy an expensive xbox cable... i can use standard now.

some wires...

You know what else is fun? getting electrocuted

It sure is! Well, to a certain degree anyways.

no srsly, i tried that once a couple of years ago
it went POW and the whole house smelled like burned plastic, you know the kind of smell when something electronic burns...

Yup, exactly what happened with mine.

xBruce88x · Jun 19, 2011

odd... it deleted 4 of my pics.. re-uploading

why I had to mod the thing ... the rear I/O didn't line up with the accessory's I/O plugs

the inner workings of the gadget...

all the connection options I can now use...

and a bonus retro pic to go with the ghetto

I probably would try it for laughs but being in the UK it;s 240v

Ghetto mods are so awesome!!

Even better :laugh:

something will probably catch fire.

just for laughs and blindness take a 5Amp fuse wire jam it into the socket and switch it on.
behold the best camera flash ever

i tried this here at 240 V

Exactly.

don't know if this is ghetto enough,but here's what i recently did to my little dell case
my heatsink was too tall for my m-atx dell case so i cut out the dell logo with some tin snips

i painted on some liquid electrical tape to clean up the looks and avoid getting cut.Then i decided to mount the hdd on the bottom of the case instead of latched to the front

and with that out of the way i drilled holes for an 120mm fan and cut out a hole for it

again i painted on some electrical tape.

theJesus · Jun 21, 2011

Yes that is ghetto lol and I love it

AsRock · Jun 21, 2011

Yes show DELL how to do it and not put there crappy logo on the side and put a big ass fan there.

repman244 · Jun 21, 2011

Sorry for the horrible picture quality but I didn't have anything else but my phone at hand.

Had to add another disk to my storage server and since it's a SATA drive it's the only place I could put it (others are SCSI hotswaps).

It's holding nicely for now

p_o_s_pc · Jun 21, 2011

What are you using to hold the drive in with?

A slot 1 p3 500mhz taped with a p3 socket 370 heatsink. Still reaching 70 celcius but the max temp of the cpu is 90 celcius.

That's pretty brave of you. I wouldn't trust my CPU cooling to duct tape, especially when the duct tape is getting heated that much.

BinaryMage · Jun 21, 2011

Takwakin said:
Tape is made to resist more heat than people think especially high grade electrical tape. Anyway on a slot1..who really care after all ?

Is that high grade electrical tape? Sure looks like duct tape to me.

And I agree, that PIII probably isn't very important to cool, but then, what do you use it for anyway?

i've been a little busy building a lego case/pc...will get current pics of it up here in a little bit

xBruce88x · Jun 23, 2011

that's gonna be an expensive case... legos are pricey these days (well... that's if you build the whole thing out of them)

speaking of legos...

sorry about the poor quality... BB 8310

My brother bought it last year for the heck of it and wanted me to "keep it safe" while he was deployed.

TheGrapist · Jun 23, 2011

here are the pics...just starting it out,pretty sure i'm all set for lego's as my friend that's helping me has a tub of about 50lb's

man in control room

and how i mounted the mobo

tomorrow we should be actually building it up higher and possibly get to making a top for it.
also we're going for an htpc kinda case not an upright because it's easier to stabilize
