(Part 4) Top products from r/pcmods

I'm constantly buying packs of these cheap straps: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not just for case cable management, but pretty much any cable for anything. I love these things.

You can use fan splitters which are probably easiest, there are cheaper ones available as well they just don't look as pretty. Splitters simply split the power and PWM signal to multiple fans off the same header.

You can also use fan hubs which are like splitters in that they split the PWM signal, but often they will have a separate power input so that it can handle a larger number of fans. The one that I linked can handle 8 PWM fans

Lastly the simplest but not necessarily ideal solution is to use a straight molex to fan cable, which runs whatever fan is plugged in at full speed off the power supply.

again, all the options I've linked to are just good examples of what I'm talking about, there are cheaper options available with minor differences.

SEM Black Self Etching Primer. One of the best primers for painting metal. Three light coats and it turns out great!

This Logitech Gameboard is made entirely of programmable keys. I have not personally used this board, but I believe it is programmed the same way that Logitech gaming mice/kb's are which is through their gaming software. Pretty easy stuff. I've actually been considering buying one of these for the same reason you're looking for one.

Edit: gameboard, not gamepad

I recently got a Proxxon IBS/E and it’s pretty nice. Runs a lot smoother (less vibration and run out) and doesn’t get hot like a Dremel.

Was having a quick look on amazon and they have the Dremel 3000 for about £40.00 In fact I may as well link it HERE. Which I could afford fairly easy at the moment and potentially get a set for all the piece. Though seeing as I don't know what I am going for I again am going to link them.
Either THIS or THIS.

The Dremel 4000 is also potentially obtainable however that is close to £100 which is a bit of a jump. What are the major differences between the 3000 and 4000? Or even other models?

I bought a mobile stand that's working out pretty well. That being said it does tend to tip just a bit if you push at the top of the case.

Bought mine off Amazon here. It dries hard and is pretty adherent, and doesn't run when you're positioning the mod. There may be better options, but it's worked well for me.

Those are for tube pass throughs, I need some to just do holes for pump mounting / res mounting. Would this be ok? Thanks

I as thinking about this the other day, actually. I though that the biggest issue with attaching a monitor the the side panel wound be that the panel is just a sheet of steel with some reinforcement around the edges, so it would probable bend. I think that the best way to attach a mound would be the the metal on the back of the case. Also, here's a mount I found: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Adjustable-Rotation-Bracket-Monitor/dp/B0016CDE0E/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417700349&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=VideoSecu+Adjustable+Tilt+Swivel+Rotation+TV+Wall+Mount+Bracket+for+LCD+LED+TV+and+Monitor+%28Max+44+lbs%2C+VESA+100%2F75%29+Black+1FF+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0016CDE0E%2Fref%3Dcm_sw_r_awd_fogGub1CMC55H (mobile sorry)

Sorry I'm a little late to the conversation, but when desoldering a component, this stuff is what we use in the business for a clean removal.

Just buy an adapter, lol

Maybe something like this: http://www.amazon.com/GearGrip-108-0190-Geargrip-Lite-Holder/dp/B0009JCUY6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416921977&sr=8-2&keywords=computer+case+handle

This sounds like what you are looking for:

• Sand it with very fine sandpaper.
  
• Buy paint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009XCKBA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Or buy frosted tubes: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/hardtubes/acrylic-tubes/acrylic-tubes/20727/alphacool-eisrohr-13/10mm-plexi-pmma-hardtube-satin-80cm-4pcs

I think these links are what you're looking for they're both a little sketchy though:

Sketchy Amazon Link


Sketchy newegg link


Crucial themselves don't seem to sell that model anymore.

You can easily do this you self.

Buy one of these (that was just a quick google for "Momentary Key Switch" you can find others)

Drill the required sized hole in a 5.25 drive blank

Attach wires to the ground and momentary on side if the switch.

Attach that switch where your power switch is today


I suppose you'll also need the wire with the attached leads that plugs in to the motherboard, but I don't have a quick link for that.

[Plasti Dip] (http://www.amazon.com/Performix-11203-Multi-Purpose-Coating-Aerosol/dp/B0006SU3QW) is what I've seen used most.

https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-060-216-Momentary-Switch/dp/B0002ZPBHK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1525727832&sr=8-7&keywords=momentary+key+switch

Either cast a resin mold or cut and glue/solder/epoxy the key to the ring. Hook the switch up to your case.

Any momentary key switch would work, but the tubular lock will probably be the lowest profile key you can use. Plus, you can keep a spare key hidden somewhere in case your ring gets lost/breaks.

Do you have any advice on what would be required for me to get that Xbox 360 wire to work on a computer? If that isn't possible, do you know if I can take apart an old Xbox 360 and use some components from it to get it working?

I'm pretty new to all this so I don't fully understand why you can plug an Xbox 360 (which is basically an underpowered computer) into any TV and it will display perfectly every time without fussing with the display. I've set up an old laptop connected to the TV using this thing before but it wasn't ideal because it's bulky, blurry, and worst of all is I had to adjust the bounding box every time I used a different TV.
