SIA Tech Mods

Some of you may already know the work of Ada Lovelace and the amazing achievement in the very early days of computer software, the very first days infact!

NVIDIA GeForce certainly noticed this, so much so they named their current GPU architecture after her, it was this that lead me on a mission of my own, to own a piece of this technology and to go to Ada's place of rest in St. Mary Magdalene, Hucknall and pay respect to Ada and also her father, Lord Byron, who has very much an interest past aswel I'll make sure to include more about him too.

Not many will buy a particular GPU to honour Ada's great work but I am one who was willing, with this, I hope to give you a little insight into Ada's work and where we are today because of the great feat she accomplished.

Exactly! He's got to remember to have hope and look forward to the future in the times of need! Never saw a child look so down as he was when he was in hospital, the smile on his face when he was given the PC was out of this world! He didn't even know what it was at this point, just thought it looked amazing and knew it was for him, when we told him it's his own PC he went next level crazy! Was a moment I enjoyed more than him I think. 

Yes I talked his parents into buying a bigger desk 😄

Just showing off a build I put together with help of the PC/Modding community, this was for a little boy who's spent month's in hospital due to a brain tumour known as craniopharyngioma, he's had 3 operations and likely will be more in the future. I wanted to do something for him, to help give him a boost, to give him something to look forward to, I originally planned to mod their case and upgrade their family rig which consisted of a Intel 12100 and a GTX 1650 but once the community caught wind, we have managed to put together a whole new system based on the boys favourite game! 

The new rig consists of:
AMD 7700X (community supplied)
MSI B650 Tomahawk Wifi (community supplied)
MSI RX 6750XT Mech 2 (Local cafe fundraiser)
Thermaltake ToughPower PF3 850w (Thermaltake sponsored) Was a GF 1 750w community sought but we had issues
Thermaltake Divider 300 TG AIR (community supplied)
Thermaltake TH360 V2 Ultra (Thermaltake sponsored)
Thermaltake CT120 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fan (2-Fan Pack) x2 (Thermaltake Sponsored)
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (Community supplied)
CableMod ModMesh Pro Custom set (Cablemod sponsor)
CableMod RGB/UV 30cm light strip (Cablemod sponsor)
Samsung 980 Pro 1Tb (Community supplied)
Made to order Green and purple pearl paint job although the pictures fail to show this, the light needs to hit it just right and it shows so much more in natural sunlight! (video of front panel in the sun to give the full effect of the purple pearl)
Creeper Vinyl made to order
3D Printed blocks and Ender dragon printed and supplied by AML Customs
To finish it off I made sure he had something decent to view it on - (trialled him with a 27" I had spare but it wasn't quite right for him so Samsung Odyssey g5 LC32G55TQBUXXU (32" 1440p)

I honestly did not expect the amount of love and thought from the community that this build has had, without them this build certainly wouldn't be what it is without them! So much appreciation from me for making this next level

Fantastic!  Excellent work and will mean so much to that child for the rest of his life!

Some more shots of the be quiet! 20th anniversary case mod.

Despite the lack of attention this build has had and the delay with the vinyl I've really enjoyed doing this build! It has been a ride for sure. 

In the image 2nd above this post there's a small piece of card with a test of the gun metal grey... hate to say it but I just wasn't a fan of it on the be quiet! Pure base 500 FX, I've gone through several different blacks to try match the original colour, I believe for this case and theme it was already the best colour it could be. 🙂 

Photos show custom orange cables that help add a splash of the be quiet! vibe, the interior of the rig mostly built up, a quick test fit on the right side panel, glass panel with vinyl, now this was a big part of the waiting time, it was one of those awkward situations where the sister in law said she could help out but over a month later I ended up doing it and here we are now at this point, I've also attached a photo with some tape across horizontally, I was going to do the 20th anniversary logo this way but decided against it, it just didn't feel right but the image shows part of the process of marking straight lines to place the vinyl on, this only helped so much as using frosted opaque vinyl was extremely difficult to line up perfectly at 1am this morning 

Ultimately I'm just waiting for the GPU before I polish the build up for final photos. 


 

Love the concept. Is that fan at the bottom meant to be functional or did you just stick that stuff in there for the photo?

Lots of filler and sanding but I feel like I'm almost at the point where I'll be happy with it. Paint still needs another coat.

I think I'll be able to make it work I've just thrown this together. I've just had to do the school run to do now food to cook and got take the kids to cheerleading, so I won't be able to do any more until late this evening, maybe tomorrow. 

 

Houston, we have a problem! 

Just got a call for the side panel, the thing looks great except for the letter R... or lack of it 😅

I guess we just going to improvise and see what can be done. The guys are cutting me another R so I can cut it down and fit the missing piece I need.  Hoping it won't even be noticeable when painted. 
 

Just a small post, I did expect to be fetching the side panel back today, but they've not even got around to that yet, I had a message this morning, a whole week later, confirming what I wanted doing. Although not much different from the design in the original post I have uploaded the CAD drawing, we've had to alter the text slightly to keep the inner's of the lettering from falling out and being lost down the machine bed, the outer dimensions is the size of the panel itself so what you see here is what the panel will look like once cut.

This mod is going to be built for the occasion, I've already sent the righthand side panel off to be cut, this will be done with a water jet and all going to plan it should have the 20th Anniversary logo perfectly cut, this part is painful as it's out of my hands. I will then be adding frosted acrylic to the panel and lighting for the effect, I may go for a slightly tinted frosted window yet, the more I think about it the more I realise it is in keeping with the glass panel on the lefthand side. Once I have received the panel, I will then need to decide what I'm actually doing with the case as the panel will need a respray and I don't have the colour be quiet! use to paint their cases 🤣 so the whole thing will be painted or other... If I go the route of painting I'll using a classic gun metal grey. I'm also adding the 20th Anniversary logo on the PSU shroud in the form off clear acrylic along with an orange colour acrylic version, one will be placed on top of the other to give a raised/3D effect.
