    While I agree with you in this sense, you have to remember that his hole life style will have to change. No more going to fancy restaurants daily. Has to probably sale some of his cars (if many) due to insurance cost, cut utility bills if he is in a big house (close off room, to reduce heating/cooling cost), and so on. The thing is that you can't ever be rich enough. The more rich you are, the more things you want, and you judge essential, then it becomes part of everyday norm. You are no longer used to this. The next day, all this fancy stuff has to go. You can no longer afford people buying food for you and your family picking the freshest and best fruits, vehicles, meat possible, so the taste is no longer as good, and things like that.
    The reverse hold true. That is why, it is highly recommended, that if you win the loto. NEVER take all the money out. Take in a monthly plan for 10+ years (depending on how much you win), else you don't know what to do with the money and spend it carelessly, without realizing it how fast it will disappear, and boom you are on the street. Or and you'll have all your friends of your uncle of your dogs, of your cat, of your parent, coming at your door for money, and start hating you and insulting you for refusing. If you take it in plans, you can hide it as work promotion, and because you'll be seen as a hard worker, then people will leave you be. Of course, refuse to be on the media when you win. Obviously.

    Hi guys!

    This is a build log about a build i started about two months ago.
    The goal with the build is to create a clean looking computer for both gaming and 3D graphics which im currently studying.
    This build will go in the color scheme, Green, White, Black.
    Featuring a Plastidipped motherboard, watercooling using rigid acrylic tubing, sleeved PSU and a delided processor.
    Check Pictures for more information.

    Intel i7 4770k Delid
    Gigabyte G1. Sniper m5
    Corsair Dominator Platinum
    White Fractal Design 630W PSU
    Fractal design  Define R4 White
    I will be watercooling using two 280mm radiators
     
    To Do List:
    Sleeving the PSU (DONE)
    Plasti-dip motherboard (DONE)
    Choose watercooling parts (DONE)
    Install watercooling (DONE)
    Create custom Chassi mod (DONE)
    Delid Processor  (DONE)
    Sponsors:



     
    Corsair is sponsoring this build with Two neutron GTX 120Gb SSD Drives,
    Dominator Platinum RAM and all around of their awesome AF 140mm Fans.
    Aquatuning is sponsoring this build with a Alphacool 280mm radiator
     
    Sleeva.se provided the sleeving for this build

    Apperance Goals:
    I am going for a really clean look, with a White motherboard and with bent acrylic tubing with lime green coolant.
    Cables will be kept to a minimum and will as much as possible be hid behind my motherboardtray.
    HDDs will be mounted behind the motherboardplate, which i got a mod for.
    The Neutron SSDs will be mounted visible in the chassi.
    I am using a cylindrical reservoir, which also will be mounted visible


    Updates:

    I finally Finished my project!
    The sleeving was harder to get straight then what i thought! since my Sataports are filled up there are almost no room for a clean run
    But i'll let the images speak for themself!

    Big Thanks to Corsair, Sleeva.se and Aquatuning for their support in this Project! you made it Awesome!













    Thanks again! Now it's time to start planning for my next project which i hope will be finished by Dreamhack Summer 2014! it will be a VERY special one, so stay tuned!


    Best Regards

    TALHA reacted to Bingbing10 in Home Made Gaming Pod Build Log (updated today 15nd February 2014)   
    For my GCSE project ( secondary school ) in Product design we have to design and manufacture a product of out choice , being a tech and gaming fan i got designing a Gaming Pod/Chair. This project is a year long thing - where we have to spend ages designing and making a portfolio and then eventually manufacturing. I though that some of you guys may want to see how i am going to make it and follow me on my journey. Plus you guys would be an awesome tool for getting feedback on areas to improve. All these stages wont be in huge detail will but just underline the main aspects.
     
    Current up to date Images:
     
    Guys i have now started to paint the POD and went for Chrome red and black  
     

     

     

     

     
     
    Step One : Designing 
     
    For this stage i spent hours and hours with pen to paper and using CAD to come up with my final idea/design. As i posted before i had to main designs and you guys actually chose the one which i was going to take forward so here is the CAD and designs for the product.
     
    This is my original CAD image of how i wanted the Pod/Chair to look like 

     
    In addition in order to ensure that i was making the product the correct size to begin with i used an autonimous 6ft 2 male to place inside my design so that i could correctly size the shape of the chair to fit people of all size 

     
    The method in which i am designed to manufacture this product was to create 2 symetrical Faces which i would CNC out and then using MDF struts that would join the two faces together and use bendy plywood to cover the struts and give an area to a place to sit. 
     
     
    Step 2 : Cutting out the design
     
    After i was sure about all the measurements of design i cut out the design on a CNC machine as this would allow all the parts to be symmetrical and then they would fit together seamlessly ( just like ikea flat pack furniture)



     
    i designed the struts so that they would slot into the face of the two faces and then they would only need a bit of Glue to then hold them in place as they would fit so tightly that they would remain rigid.
     
     
    Step 3 : Assembling my flat pack design
     
    So now that i had cut out all the MDF i could now start to assemble the product. using a hammer and Wood glue i carefully started to assemble the product.
     




     
    Then i turned the Pod onto its side where i left the Glue to dry - and the design was beginning to take shape

     
     
    Step 4 : Adding Bendy Ply
     
    Now that the main shape of the pod was standing it was now time to start adding in the bendy Ply - this will allow for and area for the user to sit on . I used a staple gun to stick the plywood to the face to the MDF boards. Even though the staples can be clearly visible as i will be adding a layer of upholstered (memory foam) over the top to add cushioning to comfortably sit on.I then repeated this on the back of the pod to start adding the roofing of the Pod. I then used an electric sander to smooth off all the edges and blend the MDF and plywood together to create  a clean finish.
     



     
    Step 5 : Adding More bendy Ply ( Roof)
     
    So as in the previous section i used the same stapling technique to attach it to the MDF , this time i was doing it on the top section of my POD. Then after using the Electric sander i sanded down the edges to blend the MDF and Ply to look like they were a single piece of material.
     

     
    NEW :
     
    Using a fabric tape measure i was able to accurately measure length of bendy ply needed to go around the bend - i could not do this section in one large sheet as the bendy ply will not bend ( it will but it will put more strain on the material) 
    successfully in more than on direction. In addition as i still have wiring to route through the inside of the pod ( for Monitor and Power) i cannot cover up the inside of the POD at this stage. So using a tri square and ruler i accurately   measure out the length of The Bendy ply that i needed,  and then i cut it out.
     

     
     
    This section was going to be the hardest section to attach the bendy ply due the severity of the bend. First off all i clamped the Ply into place so that i could fire in a couple of staples to align the Ply , allowing me to use that as a template to then carry on stapling ( allowed me to remove the clamps as well)To ensure that the Bendy Ply did not snap i had to bend the Ply with the Grain - since going against the grain on the bend would of caused the ply to snap, and a snapped material is not what i need  . Getting you of my friends to hold the bendy ply around the bend i stapled the Ply to the MDF and continued this throughout the sheet of Ply.
     

     
    As i had excess Material hanging off the side of the POD i used a Saw to trim down the edges ( i had to apply little pressure to the saw as applying high amounts of force will cause the bendy ply to flake and crack due to the grain being under stress , meaning i had to take extra care to prevent this from happening) Then using a Power sander i removed all excess material and blended the MDF and Ply to look as if they were one material. 

     
     
    Step 6 : Upholstering the Seat
     
    in this section i will be creating the seating arrangements for the POD. In order to do this i will be using a 800ml (wide) by 2300ml (2.3m long) piece of memory foam which i attached onto a piece of Hardwood using Contact Adhesive. I will be doing this separate from the POD and then using Velcro to attach it to the inside of the pod.
     

     

     
    Now i will be using Leatherette (black) to cover the Memory Foam - so i started to staple the Leatherette to the under side of the Hardboard.
     

     
     
    I  spent a while trying to attach the leatherette without making it creasing , however my attempts failed and i had to think of a new way to perform this section. 
    As a result in order to prevent creases from occurring when i added the Seating into the POD i decided to use Contact adhesive to Glue the Leatherette directly onto the Memory Foam whilst it was inside the POD. This stage was quite tricky with just one pair of hands but as you will see from the picture i used some makeshift methods to complete it.
     
    Firstly i clamped the Memory foam into place so that it would not move - as if the memory foam moved when i was gluing down the Leatherette this would cause creases to occur. Starting from the Top i sprayed small sections of the Memory foam and Leatherette in the contact adhesive 
     

     
    As i wont the glue to remain permanent i needed to spray multiple layer of glue onto both materials.
     

     
    Next once the glue had dried i folded down the Leatherette onto the Memory foam and using my hand rubbed it onto the Memory foam - this prevented creases from occurring and ensured that all the Leatherette was stuck onto the foam.
     

     
    i continued this method all the way down to the bottom of the memory foam until all the memory foam was covered. The reason why i chose to do it in small steps was to ensure that it was done correctly as if you stick it down wrong there is no going back , since the glue will just rip the Foam up if you try to pull it off ( yes this stuff is very strong)
     

     
    Once i left the Foam to rest in the Pod for approx. 30 mins to allow all the glue to set in to the correct shape i removed it from the pod and started to staple  the Leatherette to the back on the board ( that the Foam is attached to ) and upholster the edges ( like wrapping a Christmas present). I unfortunately do not have images of this ATM as forgot to take some but i will have some for you next week.
     
    Now the only stage left to complete is to attach the Seating to the POD its self.
     
    Stage 7 : Manufacturing a Tray 
     
    This step will be based around me designing a Tray that will be able to hold a keyboard and mouse ( or laptop , food plate ) and don't worry it will have a Cup holder  . The Tray will be designed around a arm mechanism -which i have designed but they are very rough sketches so i will do some neater ones and will post them soon)
     
    First of all i started with a piece of Wood and cut it into the correct size of 800mm wide ( to match the width of the pod) as this will allow it to then connect to the fold-able hinge system i have designed. Then i hopped onto Corel Draw (CAD program ) and started designing a boarder which would then prevent items from slipping of the edges of the tray. 
     

     
    Now i decided to draw the Space invader set that would then go around the Light gathering acrylic just to spice up the Boarder so it isn't boring (every one loves space invaders) and then i was left with some room at the bottom so i Draw in the Battlefield 4 Logo as it is one of my favorite games. I used the Laser cutter to Etch the designs into the surface of the light gathering acrylic , as when light from the TV hits the acrylic it will channel the light out the side to aluminate the designs so they will look as if there are L.E.D s under neigh back lighting it.
     

     

     
    NEW
     
    Since i wanted the Acrylic to sit into the tray so it was flush with the surface of the Wood i had to route out a 3 mm deep template ( same as the acrylic boarder). Using Corel Draw i designed the template for the router to cut out:
     

     
    using just the simple pen tool ( to make straight lines ) using the dimensions of the Acrylic boarder i set this to route out of the tray ( 800 mm x 400 mm) 
     

     
    However as my schools router is not the most advanced it uses a really old CAD software called 2d design ( which is terrible and really hard to use) meaning that it is really hard to be accurate with the drawings . Even though i had already made the drawings in corel draw they they have to be re sized to work with the router. after that was all done i set the router to cut it out.
     

     
    However the router ( as it is not as accurate as the laser cutter) i could not get the acrylic to sit into the wood as the router had cut it out to the wrong dimensions. I tried this on 3 occasions and still did not work so i had to change the way in which i approached this situation. Unfortunately i forgot to get pics of this stage. Using the corel draw designs above i altered them to cut out a 3mm thick piece of plywood which had the area around the outside ( to fit the acrylic into ) cut out. Then i would stick this onto the surface of the wood tray. ( i will get images of this stage next week) 
     
    Now i had to make the arms that would hold the tray in place. Using the laser cutter i cut out two identical 3mm thick templates which would then go over the top of the Wooden arms to give it a better finish. 
     

     

     
    The templates have an array of holes in so that the tray can be altered to different heights depending on the size of the user. Then using these as a  template i cut out two wooden arms manually and then used a Belt sander to smooth off the edges to be flush with the acrylic.
     

     

     

     

     
    After this i then used a pillar drill to cut out the holes in the arms which would allow metal connection on the tray to slide and be bolted in to hold the tray securely into place. Sorry i forgot to get images of these last couple of steps for this bit but i will get some and update you with them by the end of next week.
     
    Next i had to route out a slit down the center of the tray to slot the metal pole into. marking on the diameter of the pole i used a Hand router to cut out the slit accurately. 
     

     

     

     

     
    Next i needed to create a thread on the end of the metal pole in order to supply and area for the bolt to attach onto , using a TAP set ( and all the muscle my small body has ) i used the TAP set to thread the ends of the Metal pole. In addition i needed to use a thicker metal pole which would be used to attach the arm to the POD itself , so i used the same steps.
     

     

     

     
    Using a contact adhesive glue i glued the metal pole into the routed out slit , then now it was time to cover up the face of the tray. Since i had usde up 3x 800x400 mm plywood sheets with the router that had all failed , i needed to use one of the failed attempts for this section. Therefore as you can see the face of the wood has the routed out design into the wood. In order to cover this i cut out a 800x400mm 3mm plywood sheet ( via the laser cutter) and then stuck this using PVA glue onto the face to cover up the imperfections.
     

     
    I have actually completed and attached both the arms and the tray to my design but forgot to take images of these final steps so i will get some snaps and update this next week so you guys can see
     
     
     
    TV/Bracket NEW!!
     
    Thankfully i am nearing the end of this long build and it is now time to start to add the bracket to the POD. Since the inside of the POD is hollow i had no secure pieces of would that i could simply attach the bracket to , like you would a wall at home. Therefore i had to create a makeshift wall inside my POD to attach the bracket onto. First i had to un-staple the piece of Bendy Ply so i could get to the section where i would be attaching my bracket. In addition i had purchased a 3m long HDMI cable to go through the POD ( through the cable holes which i cut out right back at the CNC stage ). 
     

     
    Now i cut out a 800mm wide piece of thick wood which fit snugly into the inside of the POD and would allow me to securely attach the bracket onto. After using a ruler to ensure i was mounting the bracket into the center of the wood i marked on the correct area to drill my bracket holes. Then using a drill i simply drilled out 2 mounting holes for the bracket and securely attach the the main body of the bracket onto the wood . Now it was ready to be installed into the POD.
     

     

     
    Meanwhile i marked out two holes that needed to be cut out in the side of the POD ( MDF faces) that would allow me to attach the bracket inside. Using multiple drill sizes i made a pilot hole and then the correct sized drill piece to create  hole to insert the screws, this allowed me to make sure the screws were straight. Then using a Larger drill piece of made a counter sink hole to allow the screws to sit inside the MDF , this allows me to then fill over the holes when it comes to painting the POD.
     

     

     
    Now i had the Bracket installed i needed to re-attach the Bendy ply. In order to do this i had to mark on a square area to allow the Bracket to come through the Bendy ply. I then cut this hole out and stapled the Bendy ply back into place. In order to make the hole look more Aesthetically pleasing i cut out a Hollow square out of black acrylic on the laser cutter and used contact adhesive glue to stick it onto the bendy ply. PS. the glue is still wet in the images and it will not leave that horrible marking around the edges when dried and sanded away.
     

     

     

     
    I have actually also put in a plug socket box and electrical cabling to supply and area to plug in the TV/Monitor but these images will be coming in the next update.

    Final build update! All images are pretty self-explanatory





    The 24 pin is routed out of the cablerouting hole closest to it on the PSU, underneath the drive-cages and up to the motherboard, so it's not bunched up somewhere



    About to test again, before setting it up in my room
    Sorry there aren't any better photos of cable routing, it wasn't that great, but its all out of the way of airflow



    Everything all set up, the PC itself has been moved further to the left



    What better way to pass time while Windows is installing than to watch the RT Podcast


    That's pretty much it! Thanks everyone for the kind words and coming for a look.
    Future upgrades will include a 200mm front fan, and maybe some NB eloops as case fans

    Cheers!

    In yet another embarrassing revelation of the NSA’s astonishing malpractice, Nils Torvalds — Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Finland and more famously the father of Linus Torvalds — disclosed in a European Parliament hearing this week that the  intelligence agency had contacted his son with regards to the injection of clandestine “backdoors” into the widely-used Linux/GNU operating system.
    Christian Engström, MEP for the Swedish Pirate Party, explained to the inquiry panel that in open-source development, such backdoors cannot exist without being reviewed on multiple levels by developers around the world as the entirety of the system source code is freely available for all to read and examine. He continued to put to Microsoft’s representative on the panel that ‘In Microsoft’s systems, this possibility is absent, since the source code is secret to outsiders

    Completion - Scroll Down for the start of the log!
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    Introduction
    Back with another build log, this time a different path, less is more with mITX and i intend to showcase that in its full glory.
    Caselabs has always had a soft spot with me, ever since i first bought the STH10, clean lines, modding friendly and extremely well designed, so when the Mercury S3 was announced some months ago i couldn't resist.
     
    Prodigy may have started the mITX craze, Caselabs has perfected it with the Mercury S3.
    Unfortunately due to size restraints, my previous build Akula V2 is now to be disassembled, it's just too big for my desk and is a dust magnet.
     
    This computer will mainly be used for light gaming, work related use & general use, so the components don't have to be top of the line yet i intend to recycle my used components as much as possible.
     
    Vision & Color Scheme
    With all my build's i strive for simplicity, less is more.
    Once again the build will be based around the components, the colors will be subtle, the components will be minimalistic.
     
    Just like Akula V2, the build will incorporate Republic of Gamers products, which leaves me little choice but to follow to overdone red & black scheme.
    Watercooling will be done with primary EKWB products used from Project Akula with some new splashes of products just released.
     
    Mercury S3 Case
    One of the biggest selling points for Caselabs cases is the options when purchasing, these are the options/variations i chose.
    Matte Black Drop-in 120.2 Radiator Mount 36mm Ventilated Top Cover Left STB Window Right STB Window USB 3.0 Upgrade IO 120.2 Radiator Flexi-bay Upgrade Just a matter of shipping & waiting for it to arrive, sadly this thing cost me an arm & leg due to the shipping cost to Australia, worth it.
     
    Main Components
    Large portion of my components will come from previous builds, most from my Prodigy & Dimastech builds so my wallet won't be that much lighter in the end, i hope..
    Intel Socket 1150 4770k ASUS Maximus VI Impact Corsair Dominator GT 2133 Mhz (2x4Gb) OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240Gb Western Digital Caviar Red 2Gb Silverstone Strider 650W Gold ST65F-G Gigabyte GTX Titan OC Windforce Edition Himuro 3.5" HDD Cooler Himuro 2.5" HDD Cooler Cooling Components
    Lucky for me, most of my cooling components i already own, for most this is the expensive part.
    New products that have just been released from EKWB will be tested within this build, including their new PE radiator's, hopefully they will have their ROG Impact waterblocks released in time..
     
    On another note, i intend to delid the 4770k - I've done this process on the 3570k earlier and the temperatures were excellent, this time i will be going naked chip, so EK's Naked Ivy supports will be used.
    EKWB GTX Titan Nickel & Plexi CSQ Waterblock EKWB Supremacy Nickel & Plexi CSQ Waterblock Laing D5 & EKWB CSQ Acetal Pump Top Bitspower Z Type 150ml Reservoir EK CSQ Fittings Noiseblocker BlacksilentPro PL-2 x 4 EK CoolStream PE 240 x 2 PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 3/8in ID x 1/2in OD Tubing Clear EK Blood Red Coolant Extras
    16AWG Individually sleeved cables, MDPC Black Sleeving Delidding 4770k & Using EK Naked Ivy standoffs Polishing EK Plexiglass Waterblocks Fabricate 2 x Himuro mounting brackets  
    Closing
    Hopefully this will be a quicker build than my previous logs, I'm a perfectionist so these things take time unfortunately.
    In the coming weeks i expect to receive the Mercury S3, from there i will slowly incorporate the parts within the build.
     
    The biggest hurdle is always the sleeving, in such a tight build sleeving even the best power supplies can be tricky, lines are tough to hide so perfection is required when all eyes are on the cables.
    Stay tuned, I'm as eager as ever to begin and one day complete this build.

    So said IBM’s Chief Technology Officer of Java, John Duimovich, in a keynote address at the JavaOne conference today.

    Duimovich noted that GPU accelerators pack incredible compute power, and leveraging their 10x speedups for Java workloads can accelerate complex computations that process lots of data.

    Java and GPUs open up a world of new opportunities for GPU accelerators and Java programmers alike.

    Millions of developers rely on the Java programming language for web 2.0, big data analytics and scientific computing. It’s widely used in large-scale distributed frameworks, like Apache Hadoop, due to its ease of programmability, modularity and multiplatform support.

    Media has always blamed these problems on different entertainment industries. First it was movies, then music and now it's video games.
     
    We are in a decline in violence, I don't know about you guys but I don't remember there being video games back in WW1 and WW2.
