either way, just rember that the offer is on the table.

this deal just got kicked up a notch now that mnpctech is on call.

-edit-
i might have a spare blue koolance pc2-650 also for another option...but i need to make sure its still available.

Let me throw this in,

How about the case circulates between 2 - 4 modders here as a collective effort?

I can start it, ship it off to beachbum, he adds his ingrediants to the recipe, then passes it onto somebody else

I've gotta brand new Black Ultra Aluminus tower waiting to "pop its cherry" ... Does that turn your crank?

So the idea is to send the case around to diff people so they can add there PimP mods to it.

Here is what we got so far:
Black Ultra Aluminus - MnPcTech
TT 430w psu - HighTechRedNeck
DVD Rom - HighTechRedNeck
Hardcano 12 lcd head unit - HighTechRedNeck
Gigabyte CPU cooler - HighTechRedNeck
Red UFO Case - beachbum86
4000+ Clawhammer (Possibly) - Necro

Money:
Red02

Anything:
jofultner

Things are shapping up lets see how it goes, can we get this stickied?

Generous offers from Necro, beachbum86, Bill and HighTechRedNeck too. If we will be giving the proceeds to a charity, write me down for some stuff. I have some new modding supplies laying around, some cold cathodes and wiring stuff.

i am tight on money right now and parts are in short order, but i can do wiring if you need it. i can solder very well. i can make a light bus or fan bus if you need it i would just need the switches and leds i can cover most everything else.

Custom Grille Guru

hey Apexers,
umm I dunno if any ya peeps remember the old PimpRig grilles I was making several years back... maybe I could donate some of those to the project?
Hey what if we made a custom folding farm? A PimpRig Farm? I have 3 P3450's on mobos with some ram for each that could be pitched in, but they are on proprietary mobos so the PSU's would need a plug convertor (not expensive). Or maybe I could get the old Dell PSU's back. I dunno just a thought.
This is what the old PR grilles looked like...
Cheers,
Grumb

this thing uses thumb screws for everything...there already chrome though

i also have a brand new Logysis 20 in 1 multi function card reader i could throw in. it does temp monitering and all that jazz. black.

just wondering, if its PR theme then i dont think it will sell good for auction. maybe make it a pimp PR dedicated game server or somthin , that cycles through a diff game every day of the week. like for monday it would be BF2, tuesday Q4, wednesday COD, thursday UT2004-'07.....ect.

just an idea.

-edit-
oh another idea for the actuall case (whichever we decide to use) , on a blank side either airbrush or silver leaf "Because Chicks Dig a PImped out RIg".


Grumblestiltskin-
those grillz would be awesome, maybe make some that is just a "PR" logo too.

If my memory serves me correct HighTecHRedNeck, i think there is around 48 thumb screws on it at least that is what i have on my 2 UFO cases i have, Of course that is just on the outside of the case not to mention what is on the inside.

Red02, since this was your vision, you get to decide between beachbum's MM cube and the Ultra Aluminous tower I've offered... or the last option I propose

Theres good and bad points with either choice..

Ultra Goods:
1.The Ultra already has a nice black gloss finish. Ideal for Airbrushing.
2. Solid set-up for an Aircooled system (120mm front/rear fans) I can add 120m blowhole as well

Ultra Bads:
1. Its pre-modish (factory window) and the bezel design is outdated
2. Bezel door will have to be modded, otherwise it won't close if you install 5.25 bay devices like fan controller or mic/head/usb cables. (Ultra didn't do their homework) but I can mod the entire bezel to eliviate these probs
3. Cramped for space if we Watercool ie: rad, res, pump


MM Cube Goods:
1. Lots o space for mods!
2. If we go watercool (and I think we should), the MM cube has more room to accomondate everything.


MM Cube Bads:
1. Gary has already done a PR themed MM cube
2. Red paint has gotta be changed in my opinion to something more evocative to the PIMP life style... like a Dark Purple Metal flake...

Or

We hold off and search for an old server tower (the bigger, the better) and actually have some real fun watching a pile of crap transform into something special
