Added an intake to my Lian Li's floor so my power supply can finally breathe.

Turned out okay I think, after doing a lot of measuring, I cut a octagon on the floor, put a rubber edge to hide some of the rougher parts that a file/lack of patience couldn't fix and a silverstone filter. I had to relocate the "foot" that holds the power supply up, thats what those two rivets to the right of the filter are for.

I settled on a fan layout so every component stays cool. Top and front panel intake (front must be intake so heat dumped from power supply doesn't build up in the bezel), exhaust out the rear.


I am running two 4 pin Yate Loon D14BH12 (oem for power supplies) fans and three 4 pin Corsair SP120L (oem for h100i) fans.

Next I ordered some new feet, Penn Elcom F1686/20 which should fit reasonably well, give it a bit more height so air can get to the intake.

Theres some minor scratches in the non-annodized aluminum floor from this and various other things, I was wondering if high grit sandpaper might minimize this or just make it worse, any ideas?

Also, how long do vinyls last? I guess I could vinyl over it but I don't want to have a messy cleanup in the future if it peels up.

outside still looks good.

Don't sand it unless your planning to clear coat the aluminum back up. My honest opinion is to just leave it as is. Scratches are a way of life with full metal cases.

Vinyl is also a good choice and easy to remove off metal when you want to remove it or change it out. Just use some heat from a hairdryer or heat gun pull it up and remove the remaining residue with a solvent like mineral spirits.

@Vario put the door on and forget about the scratches. Anything you do will show, so you will have to likely sand the entire panel to make it look decent. If prepared for well, meaning you must clean and prep the metal for good adhesion, vinyl can last years without coming off.

Good advice, I don't want to sand the whole panel, thankfully the scratches are only really visible when the case is empty of parts so I guess its best to forget about it.

Might do Vinyl then, black to make it unified with the outside. Does it hold up well to friction? Would have to decide if I wanted to do the part that the side panels slide on.

No. In an instance where the panels would rub it when being removed, it will scratch the vinyl and likely make it peel in places where the rubbing continued.

Nothing new on my PC's components (yet ), but I did some reorganizing on my desk.

I need to clean those fingerprints from the left monitor..

I know I should update my system spec but I am rather excited to post. Anyway there is not much change to system spec the things that changed are the motherboard, case and monitor. So I managed to scavenge my old parts and penny pinch my way to workable pc again, this time in a new form factor.

I gave traded my Evga P2 platinum away for the EVGA Bronze 500w, yes I know it is a downgrade but I need it to fit this case. Not exactly a trade but a gift, I gave it away to someone that can properly used it. Also I don't want to have the memory of frustration with that PSU. I got a dtx biostar dtx motherboard. Got that last year but got my old Philips went dead. With everything I just assemble it today.

The Jonsbo v3 it supposedly to have the orientation with the the psu up but I flipped it with the help of furniture rubber pads, now part of my ghetto arsenal aside from zip ties. I wish I have an SFX psu. To make more space and organise the cables I used rubbers to tie the cables up. The reason I flipped the case is for airflow to come in the case but more importantly I plan to put the case on a book shelve and that orientation would have usb and headphone on the left which I need.

I played with the dtx motherboard when I don't have a monitor. Found that it can overclock my G3258 with the old bios. It was shortlive as Window block G3258 overclock. I tried the solution of deleting the intel update file in windows, it does not work until I read up someone trying throttlestop and that was the homerun. Thanks to techpowerup for the programme. There is a lot of crashing frustration and ram errors. To cut it short found that solution is to leave the ram speed at default auto 1333mhz, looks like this board is sensitive to ram speed. Slower that he actual ram speed of 1600mhz, oh well at least its stable. I am happy with the overclock result below. May need a higher voltage but thus far no crashes at all.

I place the jonsbo in my shelve beside my Altec Lansing speaker which I clean up. Found the speaker in storage just clean it up and bending the pins back got it working again. The old speaker is at least 15 years old already.

Did you reverse the fan in the PSU so it blows in to the CPU cooler?

 

[Vario]

Yes everything is there. I was going to just give them away

Sorry for reply to a few weeks old post, Are those cambridge soundworks?

Yep

 

[Vario]

Yep

Nice I have that set too, Cambridge FPS2000 they have lasted a very very long time for me. The satellites are pretty good quality, I have run them on a separate two channel amp before. Right now I run them with the sub and 4 channels. They came with a creative audigy2 which used digital din as the input. You can just use them with 3.5mm stereo RCA.

Ghetto Mods

Nope I did the opposite like what I made in ghetto mods. The fan is facing up pushing hot air into the psu and the psu remove the hot air.

This is for those OCD peeps who hate leds as well as bad cable management.
