I’ve got a new design for the top panel. The panel is fully 3d printed and the mesh is its own component so this allows for color combinations.

I’m thinking I’ve doing a giveaway sometime in the near future to help me get rid of some of the samples I’ve printed so keep an eye for that if your interested.

Drop a comment if you have any thoughts/questions, thanks!

I made this custom PC and added a repulsor sequence that activates by voice command.

Sound on for the actual voice command and effects.

Specs are 9070 XT for now(planning to upgrade to a 5090), Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 64GB RAM, X870E board, 1000W-class Platinum PSU, full custom water-cooling, and a Hi-Fi audio system and a full aluminum alloy body

Curious what you guys think.

i've found this old Eee PC 1001PXD in the trash, it looks kinda cool and i don't want to throw it away but i don't have the charger and i'm pretty sure it would be painful to use with that atom cpu and 1gb of ram. not sure if puppy linux would solve that.

even to run alpine and use it to ssh into my servers i'd need to find the power adapter or try to take it apart and swap the charging port with a usb c one.

not sure if i would be able to do that.

i've thought about using the chassis to build a cyberdeck but i'd have to replace everything i think and that would be pretty expensive, especially now.

i could take everything apart and use the chassis as a case for my tablet which is almost the perfect size, but i'd have to find a way to attach it.

the hinges are pretty solid, i like the keyboard and the finish.

what do you think? what could i do with this?

Just wanted a silksong theme :)

I've been working on NZXT-ESC for quite a while now to give NZXT Kraken LCDs more customization than CAM currently offers.

It already supports things like custom layouts, system sensors, clocks, GIFs/videos, backgrounds, icons, shapes, and even Now Playing information (album artwork, track title, artist, etc.) from music playing on your PC.

Now I've added a fully customizable Audio Visualizer.

Just like everything else in NZXT-ESC, it's layer-based, so you can place it anywhere, resize it, combine it with other elements, and build your own layout instead of being limited to a single predefined design.

And this is only the beginning I already have a few more visualizer styles planned.

I'd love to hear what you think!

Messing around with the 8.8” Lian Li Universal Screen and trying to physically place inside the Lancool 217 INF. The cutout is almost perfect and imo it looks sick inside (see images), but the stock mesh completely blocks it once the panel goes on and ruins the whole dream.

Anyone know if Lian Li makes a full, one-piece glass side panel for this case? I doubt it, so how can I get a custom see-through piece made for the bottom section? 3D print a frame? Custom acrylic? Any modders in here know how to get a project like this started? Hit me up.

Hi my case doesn’t have to screw in the mounts for the display I got for it do you guys recommend double sided tape or an alternative to mount it?

I plans to mod a 5090 aorus shell to a 3070ti suprimX pcb. First impression is that the board (msi one) is slightly shift to right a bit vs the 5090 shell. But since this is first time that I do some DIY thing like this, I think there's possible way to make it fit, with some modifications of course. Also about the lcd screen of the aorus master, can I convert it to connect via USB 9pin to my mobo to make it works?

Hello Everyone,

I'm adding a DAS enclosure in a 10" rack and I'm looking for some suggestions on connectors and cables to pass LP4 Molex (Multiple separate connections) out to the DAS. I'll add a 1U panel for flanged connectors, 3d printed once I know what I'm using and can design it. My thoughts are a female Molex LP4 to flanged DIN/GX16 type 4 pin connector, then some cables to run to the DAS, and the same DIN/GX16 to LP4 Molex on the DAS case. No actual need for waterproof connectors, but open to easy connectors to work with or even solder-less options. I would like to find connectors that allow for reasonably priced ready made cables (24"-36"/60-90cm) to use. I believe they would need to be 18awg to 16awg.

Ai image roughly of what I'm thinking, it added an extra wire... and image of the disk shelf.

Alternatively, if anyone has some good ideas on passing 3 sets of over a single cable, that might also work.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hey guys, new here and glad to be part of the community!

I just recently mostly finished my hobbyist enthusiast custom PC build centered around the anime Evangelion, using just off the shelf parts and things you can easily cheaply buy online (absolutely no custom parts).

All I have left to do is try to get a matching keyboard and mouse. I'll probably buy a Evangelion keycap set for my keyboard and a Evangelion skin for my mouse.

I know there are Evangelion cases and parts made from ASUS, but I was not willing to shell out like $10K to get all of that stuff, especially since they all rare as a dinosaur now.

So this is the best cheap alternative, a poor man's version if you will.

Let me know what you think, and I'll list the parts if anyone is interested!

Now the latest collaboration project is ready 👌🏻

Noctua 20th anniversary build.

Lots of walnut wood, 8.8" screen with Noctua theme, beige/brown cables, NF-A12X25 G2 as bottom fans, the newly released NL-LC1-36 AIO for CPU and the optional NL-ACF1 80mm fan.

One of the first Noctua fans released, the NF-S12-800 from 2006, serves as the rear fan.

The power supply is a Seasonic Prime Titanium with wooden fan guard and the cabling is hidden behind the walnut backplate.

Finally put together an SFF build after years of debate and research. I managed to cram in the PNY Slim 5080 OC which left just enough room for a slim 120mm exhaust fan up top. X870I Gigabyte ITX board is interesting but for the price you can’t really beat it.
I got TeamGroup TCreate Expert 48gb sticks at a nice 32mm height and coupled with the 5080s 40mm thickness I was able to get the NHL12S X77 Noctua cooler to fit with a 25mm Arctic P12 running as intake on a 7800x3D with Thermal Grizzly PTM sheet.
Lian Li’s SP1000P was a godsend for the performance and the budget. $185 for the white model and it’s everything anyone would need. Manually tuned the ram and set voltages for the cpu with a -30 all core and temps are mostly in the 60s while gaming for both the CPU and GPU, have not ran too many CPU tests yet.
I plan to map out potential spots for 40mm Noctua fans to have extra exhaust as there seems to be room.

Trying to customize my pc case as Zelda tears of the kingdom theme , front panel is done used vinyl wrap and cut it in small pieces to make the entire thing so it's not 100% perfect still a lot to do . Wip

Also don't mind camera quality I'm bad at taking photos plus camera suck

No Macintosh Plus was harmed in the creation of this-I bought it as a shell

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share one of my latest custom case projects: a wall-mounted open-air PC case.

The case is designed to support ATX, microATX, and mini-ITX motherboards. GPU length is basically unrestricted, although a very long card may slightly cover part of the PSU area.

I also made mounting options for both 240 mm and 360 mm AIO radiators, so it can be configured for different cooling setups. There’s also an optional front plexiglass panel mounted on four standoffs if someone wants a cleaner display-style look.

The idea was to make something clean, modular, and easy to customize — a case that can turn the PC into part of the room instead of hiding it under the desk with dust, cables, and forgotten zip ties.

Happy to hear what you think, especially from people who like weird case layouts and questionable life decisions involving custom PC hardware.

PS Yes, I know, I still want to have my HDD.

So using a vice, two pairs of pliers, a file, a hammer, and a saw, I made these in around 45 minutes each from some old copper pipe (example in last image) all to save $8. being copper though these should be better than the ones I could have afforded. Yes I know thats ddr2 ram, it’s not attached to it Im just using it as an example because I have a lot lying around. my conclusion: this took like three hours and was a pain to make and required a rather large (and expensive) vise. but I was bored and didnt want to buy these
