    They didn't even want to port the other dark souls games to pc, so.. I doubt they will port bloodbourne, and if they do it will not be for ALONG time.

    A three and a half month old article based on a rumour. It hasn't been fulfilled yet, so I very much doubt it will be.
     
    IGN are very good at stirring up that there rumour mill, more so than WCCFtech for graphics cards.

    To be honest, whilst it's generally unwise to buy a console for just one game...well...I did that with Bloodborne.
     
    And I have no regrets. At all. Such a great game. Better than any of the Souls games that paved the way for it, in fact.

    The new acrylic arrived today, but i wont be cutting until the weekend.
     

     
    Some photo's of the motherboard. There are two options with the mobo, i can either just paint the connectors and the logos/heatsinks or i can make aluminium mobo armor like Zesti did in his Project ZOE here: bit.ly/1iRAntS

    Hello all, i'm back. Its been months since I even logged onto the forum or made progress on my build. This was mainly due to lack of motivation and funds so its not like i've come back with a massive update unfortunately.
     
    Recently my SSD broke down so now I have a nice brand new one to work with. What i've got for you today is just question, seeking advice.
     
    When I received the SSD I noticed that lovely brushed anodised aluminium finish and have since thought twice about just sanding it back and painting it gloss red. 
     
    The options are:
     
    1. Just sand it back and paint it (Glossy Red) and maybe add a sticker of some sorts.
    2. Send it off to get anodised (Red) by a business and retain that nice brushed finish. I'm going to send off the motherboard heat sinks to be anodized so I could get this done at the same time
     
    Below i've attached a picture of the disassembled SSD.
    Any advice is appreciated.  
     

     
    Thanks

    Update #1  The PSU
     
    This build log is going to mark the first for a lot of things: Painting, Modding, Sleeveing and making a Build Log. It's also my second ever build
     
    Since a lot of the parts havent arrived i've decided to work of the parts that i do have one by one with updates with each components completion. This may mean that updates could be months apart if you factor in school.
    The first part is the power supply which will mostly consist of: disassembly, painting and  reassembly
     
    So here we go
     
    Dissembling the power supply wasn't made easy. Mostly because the power supply's power input and the switch were pushed through the back and soldered to wires. This meant that I had to use a saw to cut the piece of plastic into the 2 pieces shown in the image below. I also had to use a par of long handled secateurs to cut the metal in between the power input and the switch. After doing this i could take out the power supply internals leaving the case ready to be sanded and painted.
     
    Here are the tools i used to disassemble  
     

     
    Here are all the parts that have been sanded and masked fro painting. along with the tools i used

     
    One of the panels painted! Not. Its appears that i didnt sand enough (as i said, first time). The weird sploggy in the photo above came though...

    A closeup of the issue

    But thanks to @airdeano here http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/106643-painting-help-where-from-here/    i was back on track in no time
    Most of the parts painting to completion, just the fan blades and another coat on the plastic thing to the left
     

     

     
    The power supply itself

     

     
    The Final Product! w/ Kitty
     

     

     

     
    It's ALIVE! Jumped so it can start without being connected to a motherboard

     

     

     
    This concluded this part of the build log. I hope you have enjoyed it.

    TheMrBeb reacted to lutro0customs in How to Get Sponsors?   
    The most simple way to explain how to get sponsors IMO without writing a book is as follows.
     
    1. You need to have a few mods under your belt and they need to have visible work logs. I'm not saying you need to have a worklog on every single forum or site out there but have a worklog in which you interact with your subscribers. A good worklog in which the modder takes the time to explain what they are doing with video or lots of pictures and is why people will sub and read about your mod.
     
    2. Help the community and be a part of it, find something you are knowledgeable in or are good at and then help others in that area. If you cant think of an area, pick one you like and read up on it - if you take the time to help others then your name will be known and for a good reason.
     
    3. Try to be original with your mods. Take your time to think of something that other people haven't tried, a color scheme that hasn't been done a billion times, incorporate a medium thats rarely used, and so on.
     
    4. Enter contests with your mods, try to goto lans, shows, and so on. Winning a contest even a small one helps allot. But the biggest part of going to shows or lans is getting to know the people. You can send a thousand emails to a thousand different marketing people but if you take the time to introduce yourself face to face if you get the chance means allot. Hopefully you even get a business card and share yours as well.
     
    4. Once you have accomplished some of that plan out an original mod or scratch build - take the time to have a full plan of what you would like for parts, maybe some renders, or possible get started on some of it.
     
    5. Send an email or even call to those you have met and maybe a couple you haven't - dont spam the entire network, just who you need or planned to for your mod. Start small like one to 3 sponsors and ask for reasonable items and then follow through with your word or any stipulations that may have. Write a professional precise email explaining your project and why you think that their product would be perfect for your mod. (a good tip here is to plan on using parts that are relatively new but not $1000 video cards) Let them know that you understand what it means to be sponsored. As a business owner myself we sponsor people all the time and I am much more willing to sponsor someone that understands that sponsorship is given for you to advertise those products. If you let your contact know you have a plan to show off their parts and merchandise in many different places maybe even do a review or take it to different shows it will help immensely.  

    6. Last but not least - just enjoy modding, dont make seeking sponsors the begin and end all of modding for you. There is so many people that make this the focus of why they mod and they end up being those pushy people that think they deserve everything for free, or end up as gimme gimme people and spam the whole world for sponsors. If you just enjoy what you do and continue about your hobby the right time will present itself. Modding is an expensive hobby - even more so for those that do get sponsored as once sponsored you have an obligation to finish that computer and to finish it to the best of your ability and those that don't and just take free stuff are who make it hard for others to get sponsored.

    Ok I didn't plan on writing a mini novel there but I hope it helps someone.

    Also to answer the question about giving stuff back.

    There is different terms for all sponsorships. Sometime the company will pay you to make the mod and provide a budget which in most cases means you give it to them when your done.
    Also they may just sponsor you parts in which case they expect you to advertise as much as possible, maybe even goto a show with it.
    I have had a few sponsors have me mail my sponsored mod so they could display it at a show or two as a showcase mod, or they ask for your to bring it to the shows with you.

    It really all depends on what you and the sponsor agree to.

    TheMrBeb reacted to Vitalius in How to paint your motherboard?   
    Here's what you do:

    Take painter's tape, cover EVERYTHING that could be a problem if paint gets in it around the parts you want white. This means taking the tape and folding it into a V shape and stuffing it in the PCI-e/RAM slots. 

    Spray paint the components you want white. This will leave a little bit of orange in the slot itself, but not visible once everything is installed.

    Be sure to cover the fans when spray painting the orange bits on the heatsinks along with anything else around them that you don't want white.

    Remove painter's tape.

    Done.

    It's realllllly not rocket science. You just have to be uber careful about letting paint get where it shouldn't be. Paint is not conductive from what I've seen/heard, but even then, it's better to be cautious.

    Also, expect your heatsinks to be less efficient because of this.

    One other option  you have is plasti-dip. It's easily removable so you can do that if you don't like it/think it gets in the way.
