DISCO Scorpion (old skool modding)

Not sure if i'll run this type of single side res .... Maybe come come up with a new more modern design....

or this type of dual

I think the dual is a bit dated now..... 

 

Maybe this type? A single side mounted type.

You can mate! i'm yet to pay a cent for mats.... this is 100% built from scrap plex (offcuts) from my local plex supplier. 

 

Just so you guys can get an idea of how the res will mount up i finished the side wall and lighting.

Alien design. Me like it. You got some nice design ideas and what you're doing here is true modding, but I would guess you already know that ;).

And "your" not at all. Canada? Doesn't show.

 

If you want to make a compliment at least make it correctly so it'll mean something.

Stop with the awesome updates and pictures.  This is looking amazing.  The HDD mod looks sweet.  Some manufacturers might steal that idea.

Cheers Camba tyvm :)  it wouldn't be the first time that's happened :D  what'd be nice is if we could for once steel an idea back off them :P

 

Another small/ish update...... i wanted to get back to work on the front panel and finalise the lighting.... but connecting 5 RGB headers into 2 of these (below) made no sense...

 

Kingo-Brand-white-cable-4pin-RGB-led-con

 

 

 

And after a pretty long search... there's not much out there that i can just buy... unless it's in a full RGB kit......

 

So  i decided to break out the old etching kit and make up a my own.

 

IMG_20171020_154117-S.jpg

 

As you can see ive done a bit of this in the past for car head light mods.

 

IMG_20171020_154653-S.jpg

 

Just one is cut out and  the copper pcb is sanded clean

 

IMG_20171020_160126-S.jpg

 

The transfer paper is layed on the pcb

 

IMG_20171020_160149-S.jpg

 

The wifeys old iron is pinched and some heat applied

 

IMG_20171020_160639-S.jpg

 

 

With the pattern stuck the pcb is dipped into solution then drilled and some headers added.

 

IMG_20171020_171226-S.jpg

 

As you can see it functions as needed...... but looks unfinished for this mod.

 

IMG_20171020_172108-S.jpg

 

 

IMG_20171020_172049-S.jpg

 

So it's off to the router with a small chunk of white plex and with some deft finger work a housing is made.

 

IMG_20171021_140249-S.jpg

 

Hot glue!

 

IMG_20171021_142337-S.jpg

 

Some D'sided tape

 

IMG_20171021_142645-S.jpg

 

 

Taaa daaa  ..... not the sexiest but still better than the crap in the first pic...

 

IMG_20171021_140655-S.jpg

 

And finally placed in its new home.  i may counter sink it a little for a more pro look.

A BIG Disco thanks to Gigabyte and dinos22 For Jumping on board with the their newest Mini ITX Board

The Z370N WiFi is amazing little power house and perfect for Disco with it's awsome D_LED (Digital LED STRIP HEADER) Combined with Fusion. Looking forward to doing a proper overview for the forums and working more with Gigabyte in the future.

I made the Z370N a cool little test stand for some pre installation benching.

Some product shots.

Cheers mate TYVM :D  can you believe that this mod is maybe a 1/4 finished.....!

 

The door is simple as possible using a single servo unit off a controllable PWM unit. I't simply opens when powered on and returns to "0" close when powered off.

 

The safety is provided via a return spring... so if the pc is powered off with a USB drive in the door the spring takes the load. Saving the Servo.
