wow, i never noticed the actual size of it until the pics with the keyboard, hyperscreen and the hypercube together. I don't know why, but i got the impression that it was larger from all the pics before...
It's really complete. Its sofisticatede but not bizzare or whatever other word is in english for what i'm thinking of... There is a place for your mod in hall of world best and famouse if there ever will be sth like that!!!
very very nice. quite impressive really. On the note of "quite", on the front page, however, "...the basic frame came together quiet easily. Only there...", I hope the word you're looking for there is quite, rather than quiet ;)
but i only got one question:
where the hell is the power button ?
Haha - I was wondering if anyone was going to ask that! Gert is away for a few days, but from what I can figure out, the power button is in the middle of the top panel, as shown in this image that wasn't used in the final article:
I love the mod! it looks beautiful, but, it would be nice if you could do somthign with the monitor cables... it takes away from the beautiful whiteness of it all, maybe some sleeving like you did with the fans or something. other than that, perfect!

Very very nicely done. A lot of work went into that, and it came out very nicely. A couple of things, how heavey is it, and the fan power wires, are they at all fragile, and could they be knocked off when going to a lan,
Tnx for all the kind words. It really makes me feel good, and kinda special.
As for the powerbutton, the pope is right, it is placed right in the middle of the top panel, next to it in the 4 corners are : the dvdrom eject button, activity led, power led and reset button.
If you guys have any other questions, feel free to ask, and I will try to answer them if I can

One question: the row of toggle switches - what do they all do?
well, all the toggle switches control all the lighting in the case. there are 8 seperate lines of leds. for example : the lighting of the casefeet, the dvdrom bracket, the baseplate,...
All these lines are connected to two potentiometers in front (the outer left and outer right one) so I can also control the brightness of all the leds.

You can also just about make it out in some of the bigger shots in the article. I guess with all the excitement, he forgot to add that to his Worklog

The two inner potmeters control the fans.

A lot of white lighting cropping up these days, and it looks great! White LEDs - The new Bl00? :p
