the charger is fine just the lower part is broken, so i add wires and secure it with string and hot glue :D :D :toast: :laugh:
 
Is that speaker cable? That's a gamble

yep, nothing worrying since it's for charging and not running 24/7 not something that power hungry like refrigerator :D

so, after wondering why they changed in design compared to V1 (which had a black on/off button and no cover over the controller) i decided to take it apart to check

yep, that's an Instant A804 optical sensor

well that explain the thing being recognised as a HID compliant mouse :laugh: which is good since it can use HIDmacro/LUAmacro as alternative to the X806 control software if needed

I did this with copper tape and after a while it tarnished so that alu might tarnish too..

Looks cool.

Thanks... Copper must be looking better. As i know copper gets oxidized when its contacting air, aluminium is not i believe.

Aluminium does, basically instantly on contact with air, but the oxidation forms a protective layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) that prevents further oxidation of the metal. So long as you don't wear away that coating, the aluminium should last a long time.
 
I recently bought and setup an Asus ROG Strix X670E - E Gaming wifi mobo as my daily and they were nice enough to include a GPU bracket but it has a major downside and this it's too short for the job of well holding up my GPU, so thinking to myself about what I can do to extend it further to fit and came up with a rather neat little idea and the reuse of an HS from many moons ago

It's the perfect height to fit between the bottom case fans and the bracket allowing it to reach the GPU

Not the closed front panel!
 

Lian Li's got nothing on this (hehe)

Hope this guys got some decent air ventilation going on at the base, rear and top of the case. Oddly enough i love it! Looks like a dual chamber replica with the PSU locked behind the mobo wall?

Anyone familiar with what we're looking at? I've seen a ton of custom liquid loops but nothing resembling a huge liquid like stack pipe and what seems to be some sort of filtrate system at the end of it.
