STELTHY's P.C Mini Project (HPS) !!!

haha does sound ghetto! wont it be abit hot on the hangers?

thats why its metal

you should really go buy yourself a $10 fixed socket and mount it but if you need something to get you by it works.

get like an H50 water cooler and put it as the intake fan (with a 120mm attached ofcourse) and keep the heatsink on the outside. It'll keep your case cool guaranteed @ very low temps

i bought the cheap cordless dremel ($40 at walmart/lowes with 15 pc kit). It worked... kinda for what i needed to do. One cutting disk snapped about 4 mins after using it (like others mentioned, buy a good disk). DONT GET THE CORDLESS MODEL. for serious cutting/drilling it will only hold a useful charge for about 5-10 mins, also, the battery pack is a shotty design and comes loose (therefore stopping the motor) A LOT. You have to be careful not to nudge it or it will simply stop. This trips you out when you're not sure if the battery slipped or if the motor actually stopped (also not too uncommon). Overall though, its a neat little tool and can cut through mannny objects. I would just suggest (like others) to get a corded version with a decent cutting disk.

LOL that makes no sense. Are you saying that because you put the heatsink on the outside of the case it will cool down the entire the case? No because cases are generally made out of aluminium, steel or plastic right that are then painted. They do not spread heat/cold very well nor maintain a temperature for long. Also even if you did only the small square block where the heatsink or waterblock is will even be effected. Along with it looking very stupid as well

First of all its not gonna doo the job like your thinking and second one of those coolers that you put your beer in that has one of those plate thing that makes the cooler almost like a fridge would work better.

hahah nice man. im about to take out a shit ton of rivets out of my server case. so you said you hammered them out? which side of the rivet

Ok, definitely by one that's corded, any corded dremel model will do. The bit you're going to need is a bit they sell only by itself, I got it from Wal-Mart for like 18 dollars I think. It's a Metal/Concrete Bit.

The reason no on the cordless ones is they are such a pain, trust me I've been through two of them. They only work well for a few minutes then start SLOWING down.

The bit is this one, found it for 12 bucks, I've had the same bit for about 4 months now and I've cut ALOT of it. Hope it helps!

I just put a Flat head Screw-Driver against the bigger side of the rivet, then gently, but firmly smacked the Srcew-Driver with my hammer and after a couple of taps the rivets just pinged off - STELTHY

I gave a brief explanation to my Dad lol, that I needed a Dremel like hand-drill/rotary-cutter to modify a mates PC case! He didn't have a Dremel but offered me an "Angle Grinder" I'll upload a pic shortly... would an Angle-Grinder be ok to use? I've never used one before but am willing to give it a go if it will work how I need it to?? - STELTHY

Just draw guidelines, an angle-grinder will cut through it like nothing....WAY better for the job than a dremel.

Well that's cool! I just received my Pyrex: Bake-A-Round tube happy days!!!... I just need to win the Server-Case and then I can start my personal HPS case, as well as keep working on my mates CFL case !! - STELTHY

The proper way to do it is using a drill, the hammer and screwdriver mthod can work but you are most likely to damage the hole that the rivet is in (If you want to keep the whole to put rivet back in after). The proper way is to get a drill bit that is as big as the little whole of the rivet (not the flat orcurved side of the rivet the, the side with the little dimple hole thing) You then just drill through that hole and the rivet will come out clean.

Ha ha ha ha lol That comment about cutting a cake with a sword had me in stitches man ... I haven't used it yet, I was going to get a smaller/thinner cutting disc for it before attempting it.. I may attempt using it on the CFL case (my mates one) and then later buy a Dremel to do mine later.. I'll see what bargains I can hunt down in the mean time - STELTHY

ahha I was joking it should be fine but because it has such a large and thick disk when cutting make sure the disk is on the inside of the lines you want to cut that way you don't overcut. Undercutting is fine it's the overcutting you can't come back from.

Here are a few tips on using a dremel by the god of PC modifications basically.

Hay man got my case finished just waiting for some russian rocket fuel to germ then ill put a journal up dp u think rrf will be too big for a pc case?

Good videos Jimmy, good find.

If you have a good enough drill and the right kind of drill bit you could drill the rivets out.

Finally found a couple 6500k 100w floros, nabbed some plug in socket adapters and a power strip, seems super bright in there now. Is 200w of floro good enough? i figure i can fit 2 more in there easy enough. itl only cost about 10 bucks to do it so. if its needed I will. maybe a different color temp?
