I may have misread the post.... I took the post to mean that NVidia who has done SLI on previous ittterations of motherboards for Intel, would *not* support the Conroe with an SLI Compatable chipset. Apologies if I misread...

I think, that Nvidia has some insight int oConroe that we do not... and the initial test results that were overhyped (that I steadfastly opposed the technique), and some of the resultant independant analysis and testing that I have read on the net point to the Conroe not being the panecea that...

Dunno... I doubt it though. Ther color should be bonded into the rubber if I understand what I just did properly). My vinyl dye and my marker, both of those approaches flaked or rubbed off badly.

A busy night in the Tech-Daddy garage tonight! ;) I felt that the paint had cured and hardened enough now for me to reassemble the frame: Nothing major, but I did mount in the 120mm intake fan, to be sure it would mount properly! Lit it with an external power supply to make sure I...

You like that? Here ya go, finished! The mouse is done! Here is a little trick I pulled tonight. The Rubber surround on the wheel was a clear rubber, and I wanted the opaqueness of a "tire"... so I took the rubber piece off of the plastic center. I then boiled some water in a glass...

Test fit... couple of take aways on the pics.... Mice have pretty tight clearance tollerances on the buttons, and a thicker paint causes these to stick due to the gaps being tighter. *SO* I am forced to file down the gaps to allow for more space, then repaint the buttons and such to fit...

agreed Orbit.... My gripe with INtel is their use of cache to make up for poor architecture. I hope they resolve it in this next release... but if the same pointy hats are still calling the shots... I weep for the next round from Intel.

Oh dear GHOD!!! I have tears... my cheeks hurt... JEEZE! That was FUNNY!!!!

after 2 more coats of "Smoke" and the 2-3 coats of clear: the top pieces: Pulled the blue LED out of this beastie, and replaced it with a white 5000mcd light. I then sprayed it with a glass frosting so that the light would disperse and not just spotlight. These pics were prior to me spraying...

Yeah... I have seen a few football fan cases, but never a hockey case. This one is not going to be full of hockey references... it is just going to be a clean custom case with the Stars as a style guide. Now... my next one... *hint, hint* may have some more styling pieces in it... but...

Cost me about $45/US. And as for completely tearing a case down... after you have done it once or twice, it really becomes second nature. The pain portion of it come when you try to make all the pieces fit back together! ;) If you ever want to practice this stuff... find a place...

It's all about the details.... I felt it necessary to pull out some of the little things left undone on BOSS, and here are two of the things I have picked up on to complete this weekend. This was one of those little things that I did not do in the end... the chrome will be smoked with the...

Will do! More later today!

ya know... the difference between living on a ventalator later in life and not: I can believe I went as long as I did without one... wow! Put the final coats of paint on a couple of pieces: And started clear coating a few other pieces: This was the back panel that had the port...

first coat of paint on some of the framework. Starting off with a semi gloss white. I have clear that will be added later...

progress pics on the updates: This is actually the front of the case frame. As you can tell, I hated the location of hte piddly 80mm fan... so I made it a 120mm fan!! Here I am getting the parts ready to prime. I'm using a white primer to brighten the white color coat that I will put on in...

;) Nothing really exciting here... just trying to get a smooth finish on the rear, and cover up those blasted port holes. I built up the bondo, and put a tube of paper in place to try and round out the fan hole.

So, the luh-vuh-ly teardown pics... Take a good look, cuz it wont be in this state for long! ;) Note in the fan grille, the power/front LED's/Reset wires running out and to the right to escape thru a hole in the case frame.... WTF were they thinking??!?! The lines are CLEARLY visable...

Hey everyone.... this is a placeholder for the worklog on DST (Dallas Stars Tribute), my next case. It will be a fan case (as in, Dallas Stars "fan"...) based on influences from the Dallas Stars. The Dallas Stars are an NHL team, that I follow R-A-B-I-D-L-Y! I was introduced to the game of...

I got that too... have not installed it yet. Werkin tew dang much! ;)
