AWESOME Vid Ive just changed the fan in my V8 to an Akasa quiet blue fan and it looks great, seeing your vid I will attempt to do the mesh mod too as it really finishes it off.thanks Lazyman keep the VIDS comming.
@Snowdre Why would you consider it a waste of time????? That series of video's has probably has gotten me more work than any of my other video's combined......I showed that regardless of the mod, I was willing to give it a 110% and wasn't going to give up until I reached my goal. If I am willing to spend so much time on such a insignificant mod, just imagine what I will do when it is important. My work speaks for itself, take a look at any one of my other vids and you will see for yourself.
and thank fo the site i saw one of them and it ships to canada so i might as well order it for there . and yes it would be for me for the haf 922 and for the lighting i want to hide it but make it glow good on the mother board liek you did for the wired and complex sliverstone case . and for the hdd bay i would make a fan mod and the bottom or top and for sure on on the side left of the bay and for the top where the power bottom is to install a fann up there but with air vent on the panel
@666klepto666 The mesh was called modder mesh from MNPCTECH...but now I just buy it from McMaster Carr...just look for mesh...they have a lot more options.
@WestCoastMods well you no the stores you buy tools or wood , side door metal metrieals and so on for home renovation should they have them there. and how much did your sheet of mesh cost
@666klepto666 Yeah, home depot doesn't carry mesh....the only carry expanded metal which is to large and heavy for a PC mod...I even tried arts and craft stores...no luck there either...It's really not that expensive at MNPCTECH or McMaster Carr. Up in Canada it may be different, but trust me I looked almost everywhere locally...without any luck. Let me know if you find any up in your area...just curious.
@WestCoastMods i sure willl cause that one of the best idea for the v8 just to let you no that if you wish in modding a coolermaster haf 922 let me no cause i bout one not to long ago and i wish in modding it
@666klepto666 Sure bro...would this be for you? PM me if you need a mod done to the 922......at the moment I am booked till June...but if it is a simple mod I can probably squeeze it in.
@WestCoastMods Well it broke after a week of use. My dad had bought the camera years ago and he left the remote sitting in a drawer for years still inside it's original packaging. When the camera was given to me i took the remote out and got batteries for it. One week it worked but then it stopped so i bought new battteries thinking that was the problem, but it never worked again. I tried contacting Cannon with no reply so I can try again.
@tommy714pham No, the V8 is not blocking the1st slot. On the P6T mobo they recommend populating the 2,4,6 slots first for better performance. I think that is pretty common for Asus boards.
Nice Work i have a NorthQ 3340WLA Extreme cpu cooler and i coverd it with some (metal) and it dosent sound that mutch at it did before and it cools batter minimum temp is 19.C. and VERY NICE VIDEO. btw my eng isint good im from Denmark ^^
man your awsome. this mod (the whole cpu cooler mod) is almost exactly what I'm looking for. I was looking at getting the same cpu cooler and doing the mesh casing too, but I was probably just going to do the LED fan instead of the strip LEDs. I was wondering what kind of paint did you use? and did you use a spray can or an air brush? also on a side note; how did you remove the rivets from the mobo tray on your black widow build?
@2DKnight I used Automotive paint...DupliColor.....you can find it at most automotive stores. And as far as rivets on the mobo tray, there are none. This case has a removable mobo tray. But to remove any rivet, just use a 1/8" drill bit to drill it out.
WOW .... that all i can say ..... you vids are really good .... never mod a pc, but i was looking around, to see what is good parts to build a really nice pc .... and some the stuff i was looking up your vids pop up ....
the work you do is nice and clean .... really clean ... nice work man and i know i will do some mods on my pc :D
thanks .... oh ya i'm from Canada Ontario EH !! LOL... GOOD WORK ....
@LLOYD19851012 This metal is so thin that heating it is not required, also with it being thin the heat changes the molecule makeup and after the metal cools it becomes more brittle. The best tool to bend metal this this is a hand brake.
@airsoftguy85rocks The camera I use is a Canon HF S100...I have a overview vid on this camera. Excellent camera, if you're in the market for a cam, this is a excellent choice.
@WestCoastMods No, but it takes a lot of patience... It honestly looks like coolermaster did it hahaha. You could make a lot of money doing what you do.
When people to custom work on cars, do the cars gain performance? No, not always. Its a hobby and people should do what they enjoy doing. I don't see anyone bagging on what ever hobby it is you have, if you have any that resembles anything close to skills as what this guys doing.
His work is awesome. Keep up the great work i enjoy watching this type of stuff.
This is loads of work for no performance gain. I mean it's a very nice job.. not bad if you've got the time to do it. I'd just prefer take the cooler apart for performance like to add a better fan or something.
@acer0169 I guess it's all in how much effort ones is willing to put into their build to make it a 1off. Trust me, I don't have the time as I work some long hours. If ppl didn't do anything to their cases unless it was to improve performance then they would all look pretty drab. Custom paint, custom lighting, sleeving, ect.
Hey your using a NEC 20wmgx2 monitor!! sweet, I have the same one, man it's the best image I have ever seen. Love IPS monitors. So why did you put a screen on the fan, how does it help?
I agree the NEC was one of the best monitors, to bad they don't make a 24" with the same specs. They do have a 24", but it just isn't the same.
As far as the mesh shroud, it servers no real purpose other than to dress up the fan housing. If you watch the rest of the series you will see how it not only makes the fan look more professional, but it hides the LED's that I installed.
Yeah, I thought I would show how anyone could achieve the same thing without metal benders or something like that. Actually you could use a piece of hard wood instead of the steel block that I used.
Yeah, a Noctua Fan would have fit. The CM R4 fans are not to bad either. Original I was looking for a LED fan, that's why I chose the R4. But now after adding my own LED's a Noctua Fan would have been a great choice. I will keep that in mind for the next one.
hmm..well i been using "realtemp" to monitor my temps, but on the x58 mobo, theres a lil LCD screen on the mobo itself that i think displays the most accurate temp, im guessing its the temp from the BIOS, and it shows 30c...so im thinking realtemp is extremely inaccurate for me, cause realtemp showing me 46c, what do you think?
That's tough, I would also believe that the LCD display on you mobo is most accurate, not sure why RealTemp is so high, normally you may see a 3-5 degree difference between RealTemp and what you Bios shows, but not 16 degree's.
The only way to make sure is to use a temp gun, but not everyone has one. can't think of any other free program at the moment.
Man when making pc mods it's all about having an eye for detail and you really have that eye man. This is such a cool mod that I never would have thought of. It just adds a little something extra to the overall build and really gives it a "labor of love" look. Very nice man. 5/5.
hey bro, if u dont mind me asking, what idle temps do u get with your v8 on the i7? im running the i7 920 in a HAF 932 case with the v8 also and my idle is 45c which to me, i thought was pretty high, and its a D0 stepping also. non OC.
I really haven't ran any formal test yet, but when I did a bench test and first post, I was getting, if I remember correctly 34C, but that's out side the case.
45C dose seem high, what thermal paste did you use?
wow it's the little things that make it come together! Fans ARE pretty ugly ... I have 2 120's on my radiator mounted horizontally at the inside of my HAF Coolermaster, so I think I may use this mod for them (any ideas about installing custom leds with perhaps PWM RGB controller?).
Thanks bro.I'm presently experimenting with several LED's and strip lights to see what will work the best for the top and sides, also I have tried a couple different blinking LED's for the front.
Yeah, to do it right you need a primer, ground coat,, color, clear coat, and wet sand sandpaper. That's if you go with a anodized color. But if you're just doing the PCI covers and some mesh the anodized affect will not be very visible.
If you just go with a standard paint (any color) then you will not need the ground coat.
DupliColor is about $5.99 to $8.99 per can,(depending on whether it's primer, ground coat, color, ect.) whereas Rust-o-leum and Krylon are about half that.
Your funny! Absolutely! I would go to a hardware store and buy a $3.00/4.00 can of paint and be done with it.
Very important advice, spray on several light coats of paint as apposed to a heavy one.Especially if you paint mesh steel, it will clog the holes if you put the paint on to heavy. If the holes get clogged, use a paper clip to clean them out.
Thanks Rick for your kind words, wow you went on a WestCoastMaods marathon, thank for viewing my last half dozen or so vids, this reply will go for all them, thank you!
hi again mate lol love the speed hammering by the way so funny i see another good mod you have done cant wait to get mine done ordered my case today so will be here this week gotta get some paints black and candy blue gonna look cool i think anyways thought ide pop bye and say good work on this mod bye for now...dan...

sry i got nothing you can google it and probably find it
but i have no idea
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
Thanks bro.I'm presently experimenting with several LED's and strip lights to see what will work the best for the top and sides, also I have tried a couple different blinking LED's for the front.
I will look up how to pulsate the blinking LED
Thanks again

I wanted to do a pulsating cpu heatsinkfan
kinda like the heart of the computer
were cheesey people but i think its pretty cool
I just dont have the tools time and Patience as you do
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
yeah, that's exactly my thought. Giving the Black Widow a heart beat, may be corny, but who cares.

oh dude btw
I am looking at giving the scout some red accents but I dont know what kind of red i should use
i dont wanting bright maybe a darker red
what was the name of the red you used
because I'll probably start with the pci slots
and thinking of doing the front mesh
and adding a dark red half life 2 applique to the window
I might even go as far as changing the acrylic to uv red if i can find someone to cut it for me
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
I used DupliColor Anodized Red, you will need to spray a DupliColor Ground Coat first. It's a little expensive though.
I would just go to the Automotive store or Hardware store and buy a dark red in either Rust-o-leum or Krylon
WestCoastMods 2 years ago
haha if its a little expensive for you its gunna be very expensive for me.
but anodized red looks so good
i'll see how much it is if it a good enough price i'll go for it
and i need what primer,base,clear right? or can i cut something out?
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
Yeah, to do it right you need a primer, ground coat,, color, clear coat, and wet sand sandpaper. That's if you go with a anodized color. But if you're just doing the PCI covers and some mesh the anodized affect will not be very visible.
If you just go with a standard paint (any color) then you will not need the ground coat.
DupliColor is about $5.99 to $8.99 per can,(depending on whether it's primer, ground coat, color, ect.) whereas Rust-o-leum and Krylon are about half that.

ok just for pc i slots
cant i just get a can of red krylon and spray it with out the shinnanigans awith out the primer and stuff do i really need it
its not money wise
its just i dont like doing labor im lazy lol
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
Your funny! Absolutely! I would go to a hardware store and buy a $3.00/4.00 can of paint and be done with it.
Very important advice, spray on several light coats of paint as apposed to a heavy one.Especially if you paint mesh steel, it will clog the holes if you put the paint on to heavy. If the holes get clogged, use a paper clip to clean them out.
Good luck my friend

ah thanks for the tip
when i back in the states
and get my shit together for school and what not
Ill be working on it
i jsut whope i dont regret painting the pci
i love the all black case
but i think some accents would make it nicer
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
wow that looks really nice and clean
5 stars for speed hammering haha
how about pulsating instead of blinking imo that would be more "harmonic"
lil0egy0kid 2 years ago
Thanks Bro! Yeah working on the LED's now. What is the difference between pulsating and blinking.
I may install 2 blinking LED's in each opening, blinking at different times. Maybe that will give it a pulsating effect. Still experimenting.
