Nope, since PSU's these days have labels on both sides.

Even my old HX620 has label on both sides.

And with help from a dremal the PSU would run much cooler too.

not all, but the PSU fan pointing at the GFX card aint good and would be much more a concern than some label anyways.

Yep, even with a windowed case and a ugly looking PSU label I'd rather stick with the ugly label than having higher PSU temperatures from draining the hot air from GPU, especially when having a hot-running GPU like my R9 290 is.

does it have to be ugly to be ghetto?

Will you put a flat screen in the cover?

I thought about adding an LCD when I built this back in 2003, but I never got a hold of a spare LCD to rip apart. I no longer have the parts anymore just the memories. :*)

JunkBear · Apr 13, 2016

When you go to jail and your back part get ripped it's also painful memories. Just saying.

I built a pc for a friend, as a favour.

He "paid" me a badger t shirt, a badger mug and a bag of my favourite baccy.

My (abbreviated) name is Ger ...............hence the BadGer tag.

Excuse me, sir. This thread is for ghetto mods. Please take your pro mod to the build log forum. :laugh:

I don't know why fan manufacturers bother giving you those low-med-high switches. You (almost always) end up tucking them away. I guess they're expecting you set them once and then tuck them away?

My eye is drawn to the natural angle you have set it at, it almost blends in completely. I also like the way the cable is prominent in the overall design, sometimes people fuss too much i think.

Inspirational.....keep it up..... :respect:

SUCCESS!!!!
Ill notify LArry Namaguchii HEad VP of Sales @ Noctua

AsRock · Apr 17, 2016

simple mod but thought i would post it. NB was getting so hot i thought i would add a old ASUS fan from the X38 days to it and worked better than it did on this than it did on the original board.

From to hot to touch to nice and cool.

All so got a Airport Extreme for $2 which needed a adapter so just used one i had laying around, not a mod but plan to fix some ADVENT mini's were age has damaged them due to being foam all so got for $2.

Sorry no pic of the Airport found it was way to bright.

Lego Bricks also to expensive

AsRock · Apr 17, 2016

String too ?, their is normally a whole in the card PCB to attach then hook to the case above. Although fishing wires best near out of sight but that's starting to get expensive lol.

Plus their is the annoyance of our fishing shop not stocking fishing wire and tells you to go wal mart lol.

Ahhzz · Apr 18, 2016

wha???

dont whant to set it"' · Apr 20, 2016

that stick seems to have an incredibly high density since the pcb warped along the warped spacetime near the stick, or was it warped out of the box?

AsRock · Apr 20, 2016

Well was able to pick up a logitech revue for a few $ although had no adapter, and i went though all my adapters and none of them fitted and did not want to slice one up so their was only one other way around it.

O yeah all so redid the paste on the heatsink too.

Been thinking about putting it in the casing of a LG BD590, don't know yet though.
