Project: Mod in a Week // "Fallout Cause SP"

Update

Project is now completed however I have ran in to a problem with the mounted screen, it doesn´t seem to be getting power, I´ve checked the usual culprits to no avail and I dont currently own a voltimetre which is unconveniente. Going to dismantle the screen´s hw and test it on a wooden bench, maybe it´s shorting out. Because I want the final picks to show an image I will wait to upload them till I get this fixed between today and monday.

Update:

Fixed the screen, one of the cables must´ve cought somewhere and was damaged, severing the link between the screen´s psu and the lcd panel. So I cut that section off and soldered new cable to both ends, works fine now. Took me hours of looking and trying stuff till I saw the small brake in the cable and of course later I had to put it all togueter in the case again.

Aniway, I´m knakered and now I have to go some event to be social which I don´t really feel like but promised I would so… Aniway, I will set it all up for a shoot tomorrow to get a nice gallery of final pictures.

Final Pictures - Set 1

Hi everyone!

Right, as promised, here is a first set of the final pictures. I say first set because I´m not happy with them, light conditions, the need to use flash and reflections on the case by nearby windows, the table (that was a dumb idea) and so on, make the project look different, they make it look shiny (which is not), they distort the colors, you can barely see the green glow, etc

The point is, because I´m out of time right now I give you these just as a preview of some nicer final pictures which I will take at the modding event starting tuesday. Regardless, I hope you enjoy them : )

That´s it for now, I´m going to get it ready (install the OS, drivers, and so on, and pack it so it´s ready for tuesday. Once that´s out of the way I will start the final stage on Project: AIO AL and Project: Diabolo in the hopes of having them ready for tuesday as well.

This concludes the “Mod in a Week” challenge (for the second time, anyone remember my first one or has it been forgotten already? :stuck_out_tongue: ) and I hope you enjoyed reading and watching as much as I did doing it.

Thanks for reading!

Looks really amazing. Well done man. :slight_smile:

#44

I’m not a big fan of the screen on the side of the case, but overall this mod looks very nice. Can’t wait to see it with the proper lighting.

#45

Thx guys, originally I wasnt going to do the screen on the side, but seeing as fallout in-game computers are all in one, it seemed fitting : )

#46

It’d be great. Won’t the monitor be problem with the heating system of CPU? I see you set it very close together.

#47

you cant really appreciate it in the photos, but there´s a decent gap between the side of the case and the monitor, using it now to post this as my main rig is at the workplace so I can do some changes tomorrow. Temps are no different now that when the screen wasn´t on.

#48

Damn, looks great man. :slight_smile: Keep doin’ this stuff!

About the ASUS thing, I can´t confirm it yet, we´ve agreed to continue talks through e-mail as the event is over tomorrow morning.
