Red Nineteen Project Log 27 - 8th July 2006

I know I'm posting this on the 9th, but I completed most of it before midnight.

I've been working on this project for over 12 hours straight today too! The end is so close, that I am using all my free time to get as much done as I can...

^ I sleeved the Arctic Cooling Accelero X1's power cable, as it was multi-coloured and a bit 'in your face'. You can also see the 2 Bulgin vandal-proof switches sleeved and ready-to-go too.

^ The top panel uncovered, ready for painting black.

^ The sides masked up. I have also sprayed the front, top and side panels black, but haven't taken any pictures tonight of them.

^ The two rear 80mm fans have been wired up together, so that they can be controlled as one.

^ And finally, I modified the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 power cable too. Now the yellow wire goes to the motherboard header and the red/black go to the fan controller/switch. This will allow me to adjust the speed or turn it off altogether, whilst the motherboard still records the RPM.

The cooling will be controlled by the 4 switches and 4 fan controller knobs. One for the 2 x rear 80mm fans, one for the CPU fan, one for the lower 120mm fan and one for the upper 120mm fan. Simple. Tomorrow morning I'll apply another coat of black and hopefully get onto lacquering where needed. I just have the two 120mm fans to re-wire and sleeve, then it is just a case of putting it all together!
