i have send some special mainboard standoff´s in the US to a guy from this forum, as return he send me original Simpsons Stamps ....

US is NOT india.

Customs in india are b****. they steal stuff. i never received one of my prizes from tech powerup as customs seized it.

also, thanks for all your concern

dont worry my eyes are sage

ohhhhh took me a few min to work out what was going on there

Does it actually make any difference?

Didn't do shit.

In general, you can;t get them here either. However, I have found them at a local science store, the kind that sell equipment to schools.

A chemistry science shop should have them.

If you like DDD, I can see if I can get a pair and send them from VN.

Edit - I re-read and see that you have found some already.

You have still gotta be really careful. It's not impossible for bits of metal to get under the brim of your glasses, especially if you have 'regular size' glasses.

You oughta pop down to the local science store and pick up a pair for a couple of bucks.

Eye injuries never heal, and it's just not worth risking your eyesight.

You guys are kinda making a big deal about this. I've used every kind of grinder, from the big 5 hp dewalts to dremels and pneumatic die grinders that run over 30000rpm. I've had dremel cutoff blades explode lots of times, learned it wouldn't be good to put my face in line with it the first time one flew apart and cut my arm. I almost never wear goggles, I don't usually use grinders in such a way that they spew sparks in my face; And like you were saying, I've gotten steel in my eye before even when wearing full welding helmets though, from sparks bouncing off of a wall or something and up under the mask. The times I have gotten metal in my eyes though I've been able to pull it out with a strong magnet and holding my eye open. Doesn't work if you're working with aluminum or nonferrous but I'm more careful with those types anyway.

Idk, I guess I'm trying to say just be careful with it and you shouldn't have to worry about trying to get goggles especially if its that difficult where you are. But, if you can, get decent ones that fit close

de.das.dude · Apr 26, 2013

A real manly man like me ^ lol.

its just the method of not to have the cutter in line with any of your body parts.

Odds are it won't happen, just like the odds are pretty low you will get into any kind of accident where you need medical help. You still buy insurance to protect your finances just in case a situation arises; why would you not buy a pair of goggles just in case, also?

At the end of the day it's the individuals decision and responsibility, but i would think you are stupid not to take the most basic of safety measures.

what material that you use?
maybe if you use zip ties to hold the filter it would easier to clean up and last longer

de.das.dude · Apr 28, 2013

zip ties would leave gaps

I use scotch tape. Less glue residue when removed.

Use panty hose. Just put the fan in the hose before you install it

iKhan · Apr 28, 2013

We used a $5 mATX eMachines case to build my cousin a cheap PC. I realized the hard drive bay was missing.

I mounted the hard drive to the bottom with double sided tape. He wasn't happy about me ghetto rigging it but it was this or spend like $20 - $30 on a hard drive bay.

de.das.dude · Apr 28, 2013

i dont see why he would be mad

that is totally acceptable

+1

or just cut the filter a bit larger than the fan, and sandwich it between the case and the fan.

SaiZo · Apr 29, 2013

I wanted to be able to control my fans, but just couldn't afford the price of a fancy fan control system. So I made my own - ghetto mod style.

The two knobs (yes, I known, one is from Thermaltake..), control one of the intake fans, and the other controls a "hidden" fan just above the rest of the harddrives.

The LED's are connected to 12v using a resistor between each LED. The LED's are scavenged from other electronical items. The switches were used in an older alarm system but are good enough. However, they are ON-OFF-ON switches actually. The reset switch, mounted on a bracket from some PCI wireless non-functional card was perfect to put it where it is now.

There is also a power button at the top, but forgot to take that picture.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, they all run on their own power source (external, not from PSU).

Athlonite · Apr 29, 2013

with those on-off-on switches you could make one of the on positions a low power/speed by using a resistor
pos 1 on 0-12V
pos 2 on 0-7V

The external power source(s) are 12v only, they do not run from the PSU.
But I like the idéa, sounds rather brilliant, infact I think I'll do some testing during the weekend on this. Thanks!

Do you perhaps know the value of what resistor I should use? I bought a bag with "random" resistors - 200 of them recently.

probably a good start is this page
