hello
- "hello "
after this brief post about the memory modules, we pass on what today?
- "a little trip "
downright !!!
- "yeah! "
and what do we owe this honor
- "in fact I found it at a friend "



- "perfect adherence to ride on a Harley "
you tell me so !!!



but what is it ???
- "bitumen "
real bitumen !!!
- "somehow is sealing bitumen"
OK....
- "and I find that the color of the grain really think a bitumen road ...."



- "and what is the relationship between a road and a Harley ?"
the fact that the bike is not an enduro :
- "no!!!! ....."
see .....
- "Route 66 !!! the mythical Route 66 that any biker would borrow "
and suddenly?
- "Hop! we takes a little bit for our mod "
and how we makes it ...
- "we make a stencil with our cutting plotter "



- "a good wallop of paint "
you appealed to the DDE :
- "I folded laughing ....."



- "we take off our stencils "




- "and that's our beautiful Route 66 "
fresh road



- "we place our stretch of road in the office alongside the tanks"
tanks ???
- "oops! I've said too "
why you made those two holes on our beautiful leather !!!



- "to fix my cousin "
a small signature
- "can be interpreted as follows "



I see you've polished extremely !!!
- "you know that I love me "
Oh that!!! you love to admire you, anyway



euh... you stand before what!



- "another portion of Route 66 "
greater portion !!! and you plan to do?
- I already glue on a large aluminum plate "
always polished ...
- "You find "
I notice



and suddenly you gonna do what?
- "I do not know yet "
well you have an idea when I see the edges cut on the bias ....
- "Yes but we will wait to say more "



à la prochaine
- "on the road again "

hello
- "hello hello "
we go to the next Xray?
- "Yes! and you'll have a little work with your scroll saw ...."
what you reserve me?
- "we will customize graphics cards"
okay
- "and we start with the backplate "



I see you've prepared the field
- "I have not done anything .... if only use the cutting plotter "
bah! you already paste the sticker
- "it is not wrong "
good, I start with the easy cuts :executioner:
- "we use the grinder !!!"
easier when it comes to shoot right
- "especially when we use an iron bar to guide us"



well, it's not all only reduce plaque size desired ...
- "Yes .... and now we must cutting the bike"
we first use the drill to carry out the numerous holes ....
- "and be able to pass the blade of the scroll saw "
the secret is to take your time
- "especially at the end where we want to accelerate the movement .... "
three small hours after...



- "Cool !!! :thumbsup: you can move to the second cut "
how does the second cut !!!!!
- "I have not told you ...."
what????
- "we have two graphics cards "
rongntudju !!!



the screws! it's for???
- "at first, it allows us to adjust the strictly two plates of the same size "



but tell me!!!
- "Yes!"
I count more than two there !!!
- "Ah yes .... "
there are 5 in all !!!
- "then the two back plates ..."
yes and more!
- "two other plates, in effect and the original backplate for good dimensions



but why two other plates ???
- "I'll tell you "



I'm listening to you....
- "but before we will paint the cutting plates to black "
OK, if you say so....



both ?
- "both "



- "then you'll paint the other two plates with metallic copper paint"
to stay with the Copper Edition "
- "it's the idea "



nevertheless I do not see where you want to come ....
- "look! I put up spacers !"
and?
- "and they are small xD 5 mm only!"
and?....



- "... and here we are with embossed backplate "
okay !!!! an inverted relief



- "we give some depth to our cutting "
it changes a little from the usual style



- "we assemble all that on our graphics card "
we made the holes coincide with those of the graphics card
- "fortunaly, not even when we were going drill the PCB of the card "



- "and hop! the two back plates are in place "

- "You know the game of 7 differences?"
Yes!
- "I let you ponder these back plates in this case "



we ended up with graphics cards?
- "not yet ... but it will be for next time "

++

hello
- "Hello everyone "
then Xray! we continue with these two graphics cards?
- "of course "
as we said last time, we had not finished a customizable ...
- "after the front side, we will work on the back side "
and we start with this aluminum plate?
- "Yes "



- "we use the bender to perform ...."
some bends
- "some, some only two .... "



Yes but, well! we have two graphics cards ...
- "so what?"
and although it has been two plates ...
- "and so?"
and although this makes us 4 bends



but ... but ... Xray! what are you doing ????
- "I # &% $ ù *** it with this masking tape roll .... "
it sticks
- "and not a little !!! "



and why this masking tape?
- "to locate a few holes to realize "



- "Ok! we fit it all "
we are refining



- "we repeat the operation on the second plate ...."
twice the job ....
- "yes...."
I see you've ripped on one of the openings
- "that's okay ...."
okay ???
- "okay I say!"
if you say so ....



:eh::eh::eh: we do in covering vinyl !!!
- "it does not please "
well .... say .....
- "this is the color that bother you !!!! "
there is a bit of that, but ....
- "but what ...."
well.... bonding is not so perfect ....
- "really!!! "



euh !!! then I do not understand ....
- "aaahhh we find the CUC ' "
okay .... but hey! you can not explain much !!!
- "I did a lot of holes "
I see it but ....
- "they are not aligned "
Yes Yes....



- "Ok! this is the green that bothers you"
it bothers me, it bothers me ... I would like especially to know where you want to come in !!!
- "well, I withdraw the vinyl "
great ... we have holes but ultimately not cut ....



- "no cutting at least for now!"
I still do not follow you ...
- "good ... and meanwhile we must polish "
what?
- "plate ... it has to shine !!!"



it's good like that?
- "not bad "
and but!!! you stick anything on the plate !!!
- "leather imitation "
and why I used me to polish the plate !!! "
- "to cut my faux leather comes on the nickel chrome "



hey! nickel!!
- "this is what I just said "
what you have in your side?
- "the following "



- "we'll take a good amount "



but what it is exactly !!!
- "leather thread "
leather!!!!
- "exactly "
......



- "I thought that we will stick a little more to the world of biker "
with leather thread !!!
- "Yes! I think it gives a look at our fairing "
of style ....
- "jacket we imitate the seams "



we do not do the same for the second plate ???
- "For seam?"
not for the logo !!!
- "and no! "



no Harley logo!
- "Yes but of another kind "
this is the model of the bike of our friend
- "Yes! it provided a copy "



- "we will place it on the second plate "



- "we spot the holes to be made with masking tape "



having marked three small studs of the logo



- "and voilà le travail "



- "ooops !!!"
ooops what ???
- "nothing like what is really defined in advance in the modding .... "
but still....
- "we realized the opening for passage of the waterblock at its outlets ...."
Yes and???
- "and it turns out that we could not put the caps in place "
OK! had to change course
- "We adapted "



- "we assemble the fairing on the graphics card "
but what is this excess thread?
- "the cable?"
Yes! wire or cable ....
- "this is the cable that feeds the LEDs stripes "
LED Strip ....
- "the one we stick under the body to illuminate the inside of the backplate



cool stuff
- "et hop!, like the motherboard, graphics card disappears "
a little over 360 °
- "the graphics card number 1 "



- "and the graphics card number 2 "




well it is late ....
- "you're right it's time to sleep "
see you

hello
- "Hello "
hello Xray! the form?
- "It goes "
we take care of what today?
- "storage "
SSD?
- "Hard drive "
no SSD ???
- "we opted for a mSATA SSD that sits directly on the motherboard :thumbsup:"
OK! so we will dress up the hard drive
- "quite and we start with an aluminum plate "



rather I would say two
- "even three for that matter ...."
we present you the first work
- "a job for internal and external cutting "
rather quite simple! it makes us think of a framework elsewhere
- "that's the goal "



the second plate ...
- "I put it aside for now "
therefore we turn to the third ....
- "Yes! with two cutwork !



- "un cousin "



- "and this Maltese cross"



we remove the stickers ...
- "that allowed us to follow the contours "



- "alu still raw ...."
for the moment!!!
- "Yes! for the moment...."



why two cuts elsewhere !!!
- "I have not made my choice "



- "until I make my choice you'll join your polishing workshop "
okay ....



so?
- "nice work "
thank you but that is not the issue ....
- "you want to know what?"
that take us? the cross or your cousin!
- "euhh ..... my cousin "
sure?
- "Yes!"



then?
- "we return to our second plate "



- "it will hide the hard drive "
no polish for this plate?



- "no! we will put some leatherette "
the same as on the shroud of motherboard?
- "not quite, we use another faux leather with a different aspect "



- "then we are positioning the frame "



- "and we are preparing to center the cousin "
go there !!!
- "Yes ... but it was not ...."
how's that, no !!!!
- "ben .... you know that modding is not really an exact science ... "
you changed your mind yet !!!!
- "not really me "



not really you !!!!
- "uur friend invites us to place the logo of his Harley"
cool !!!



- "here! the picture is complete "



we glue it on the hard drive!
- "not yet! we have not finished yet ..."
another plate !!!



- "and feet "
funny feet ???
- "there are feet incorporating silent blocks "



- "we adjust the dimensions of the plate to the hard drive size "
while leaving room for connectors



- "we spot the mounting holes in the hard drive"



and the holes for the 4 feet
- "exactly! the plate serves as a carrier to the hard drive in order to position it on the tray of motherboard "



but what are you doing!!! no need to polish the piece since it is found below ....
- "I love me "
 !!!!!



- "saw that the plate is close to the PCB of the hard drive ...."
we set up a vinyl



- "we set the hard drive to its support "



we enjoy a bit of faux leather to dress the edge of the disc



- "and we place the top plate ...."
fixed using double-sided tape



- "where it is the hard disk !!! "
it is gone
- "soon ...."

hello
- "it's hot day in this moment, no... in France anyway "
hello Xray!!!
- "ah yes! forgiveness :facepalm: hello to all "
it is true that at this moment it heats! this does not prevent us to present the following
- "quite , we have seen that the mod integrates two graphics cards"
that's right
- "and thus today we present the SLI bridge"
 



we leave it as is?
- "red color is not fitting very well with our theme "
we will take care of this SLI bridge in this case
- "otherwise what interest to create a post on this topic "
not false....
- "we begin by dismantling all parts "



after that?
- "some paint "
chrome paint !!!
- "Yes according to the color I see on the cap"
pretty



- "not that much finally ...."
really!!!



- "rendering is not really one that I expected .... "
Oh yes!! it's more gray than chrome ....
- "I do not tell you ...."
you tried with a layer of varnish?
- "even less convincing ..."
arch !!!



- "well, okay, we'll see this later "
OK! we move on?
- "on the realization of this sticker "
made with the cutter that goes



- "plotter performs beautiful cuts "
especially fine
- "fine exactly!!! must then be able to transfer the sticker without damaging it "



my faith, you managed your shot
- "thank you for the flowers "



good, if not at the painting of metal parts?
- "ben.... listening, I have not fought long .... all in black "
that way the Harley logo is highlighted
- "is the idea "
we assembled the SLI bridge
- "I confirm "



but what is this cable I see :eh:
- "... then this SLI bridge is backlit original "
Yes and?
- "but the backlight is active only from a certain generation graphics card ..."
let me guess! our cards are not included ....
- "barely!!!"
so we played soldering iron
- "it took power the game of LEDs present in the SLI bridge connecting an accessory cable "
cable that we will take care to conceal maximum
- "It's black, it is already that "



- "to improve the rendering of the backlight, we slipped a sheet of aluminum under acrylic plate "
 
- "day ... night .... "



- "Voilou that's all for this morning "
soon then

hello
- "hello everybody "
I think we toured all the components
- "motherboard, graphics card, hard drive, memory ...."
SSD is directly connected to the mSATA port on the motherboard
- "we will begin to mount all these people in the desk "
and we start with?
- "the motherboard "
OK, so we saw at the beginning of the topic that this plateau is also MDF
- "area that we covered with imitation leather "
after making a few holes here and there



before we spotted the holes for the spacers
- "I told them that in fact we had to start again this board, by dint of adding holes ...."
say you just do it



- "we install the motherboard"
I notice that the SSD is plugged into its port
- "comment you something else?"
the memory modules in place!
- "Ok but a little more discreet ..."
the wires that I see on the side?
- "Yes! we welded cables to pass under the motherboard "



- "we'll set up a watercooling at the processor as the memory "
and we use the waterblocs XSPC brand
- "who have the distinction of having an acrylic coating with the possibility of installing a backlight "



the thing is that the LEDs sold with the kit are blue ....
- "we will now take this white LEDs "



- "Led"
OK
- "Wire"
OK
- "Resistance"
which...
- "Calculator"
OK
- "Resistance"
which !!!!
- "You have the calculator!"
Oh ok....
- "Resistance"
OK
- "Shrinktube"
OK



- "we dress them with a black braid cables "



- "a cable with one Led ... it starts to do !!!!"



good, now it is to drag the cables under the body of the motherboard while positioning the CPU waterblock ....
- "the difficulty lies in first place the waterblock on the processor ...."
begin installing the fairing of the motherboard ...
- "put the acrylic part of the waterblock but while leaving some place for the cables of the LEDs under the body"
finally position the fairing ...
- "not so simple really ...."
we had to change our approach and that instead of having a cable on each Led at the CPU waterblock ...
- "we create a mount 4 LEDs in series to have a single cable output "
more manageable later ...



thing done
- "once the waterblock cpu is fixed, nothing moves "
we adjust at best cable LEDs so they'll be as discreet as possible
- "including the two cables from the memory waterblock"



we put the tray in the desk?
- "not yet! must fix the mosfet's heatsink "
radiator we painted black
- "to recall that the chipset heatsink is polished and is already in place on the motherboard "



it starts to take form
- "we set up the formwork rear modules "
just put?
- "Just put indeed "



and therefore the radiator of the power stages remains in black?
- "not quite! remember you the U plate "



yes! that that we have polished
- "exactly small piece of double sided tape and hop!"



what is that nearly rectangular hole in the motherboard?
- "it's there for the passage of the 24-pin ATX cable "
oh! speaking of cable ... we have not forgotten one of this ....
- "you mean the SATA cable to connect the hard drive "
exactly....
- "I have not forgotten, reassure you "
I do not see it!!!
- "it goes under the motherboard such as cable "case's connectors" "
OK!
- "and as the fairing well beyond the motherboard, it remains invisible "
 



what we're doing Xray!
- "I present your next cut "



I must also make the many holes?
- "Yes, indeed you start with them "



then I cut the plate with our scroll saw
- "nickel "



we will not let these raw aluminum blanks!
- "you know what you are to do "
misery....



- "the passage of the ATX cable is in place "



- "as well as for the CPU cables "
nickel chrome
- "did you at least recognize the shape of plates placed on the gates of fans ..."
of course!



euh .... say .... how are you doing on set ???
- "Oh ... it's just to show the hole's cables for the hard drive"



- "and the other 4 small holes can accommodate the spacers mounted on silent blocks under the hard drive "



oh well I think we have much of the hardware in place
- "I think also "



- "Harley engine part with the mixture of chrome and black takes shape "
 
- "Soon "

Hello
- "Hello everyone "
we had last seen much of hadware up
- "at least on the set of the motherboard that will take place in the office later"
absolutely! so what follows is a succession of small elements that embellish the visible part of the desk
- "and today we took some vacation "
we can say it like that, indeed
- "basically, we only purchased the following "



it is a shield ???
- "I wear it like this but it is not really that "



we remains in the leather anyway
- "Biker biker ...."



- "a leather strap ..."
that we fold in two
- "and we spend in a plastic disc before inserting each end into the shield"



- "then follow well "
we're all ears!
- "especially the eyes must be open "
oh sorry....
- "I spend the second end into the hole of the first part of the strap"
here it goes



- "sure?"
yeah anyway
- "I give another angle in case "



- "I squeeze thoroughly "



- "note the meaning of the strap above "
okay ....



- "you notice a smooth side and a rough side at the strap "
I note



- "attention! things get complicated "
whoa !!!
- "be careful though "
I'm!!!
- "well, you take the end of the first portion that you thread through the hole of the second portion by its smooth side"



wow ....
- "be very careful !!!!"
I am, I am
- "note I put forward the smooth part "
okay



- "and you hold the whole "



- "and you should get this nice bow "
but but!!! it is a lesson on the nodes today ???
- "in part "
but what is in the end this thing ???
- "It is concho "
and what exactly ???
- "a decoration that you find on the stool Harley "
okay


- "I place this concho between the two tanks "



two tanks !!!!
- "Yes, watercooling "
okay! but two !!!
- "ah yes this detail : you'll be pleased to know that we placed three reservoirs on this part of the desk "
must fill the empty space
- "Quite! the wood is covered with imitation leather but with a different appearance than the hardware part"
I see
- "okay, so you know what you have to do ...."
no....
- "put into practice the theory of concho node "
ah yes to put one second between the reservoir 2 and 3
- "Yes! more two others "



where to put ???
- "that we will see later "
to the next

hello
- "such as CUC ' "
do not tire yourself too Xray ....
- "I try to do the best "
then we will take care of the front desk
- "our friend painted black this desk ..."
and since this is the MDF, he put a few layers
- "history of dressing a bit this facade, on the side of tray reservoirs ...."
we performed a small cut on an aluminum plate ....
- "that we have coated ...."
faux leather of course !!!



ouaiiiisssss .... but why you stitched leather !!!!
- "for the next of this post "



- "we were not going to make a simple plate covered with imitation leather, two pictures and that's it ...."
you are right! must furnished a little
- "whence the presence of these nails "
they are numerous!!!



- "There are plenty! but did you see they properly stored "
:hammmer



- "besides, this gives me an idea ..."
which !!!
- "for a long time, I want to try that kind of thing ...."



it goes Xray! it does not sting you too
- "Not really actually! I feel I pass through spikes ...."
I know the fakirs are rather skinny ... but you do not you're not even the skin on bones ....



good! I suppose you want to have the nails on the plate ....
- "well you suppose "
hence the famous holes completed ....
- "Insightful "



- "I begin to put them in place ...."
one by one ...
- "well, if you helped me ... it necessarily would go a little faster ...."




okay okay I go ....
- "drop ... I almost finished ..."
sorry ...



- "rogntudju !!!!!!!"
what happens to you????
- "I do not believe that!!!"
what????
- "Looks!!!!"
you are on the end and then ???
- "then! then! then I'm left with a nail in it and I miss two ...."
ah that's it !!!



- "It's a shame to buy a package for two nails ...."
not false! but hey we do not have a choice now that you've installed all the others
....
