    How do you get sponsored for this stuff? Just email them asking or show them previous success and promise advertising?

    However you managed it, you've got some great sponsors and one heck of a PC coming along there!

    Yep that's basically it, with addition of an intresting and unusal project idea.
    Must admit I've never quite had the guts to try asking for sponsership, also my lack of projects.

    laywill: Yeh, just email them, but think about them. They need something back. Why would they give you something if they aren't going to benefit from it?

    noobieocer: I havn't actually fired the PSU up yet, when i get to it, remind me and i will make a little video. They are supposed to be loud, but TBH if you replace the 40mm fan with a Scythe Mini Kaze you will be fine with it.

    Re: Project MiniMe - Smallest (ever?) Watercooled mITX PC

    Update #9

    I am very pleased to announce my latest sponsor, AquaTuning!



    They are going to be my watercooling sponsors. Watercooled-pcs have lost contact. I am not sure what has happened. THanks so much to Pascal for bearing with me!



    My AC Ryan sponsorship has arrived! Yay for awesome brushed aluminium!







    Slimline CD Drive







    USB backplate



    More CAD work is done.

    Black line = cut
    Green = reference
    Red = engrave

    This is the bottom plate for the slimline drive. The screws are so dam small for the drive i have decided to glue an acrylic plate to the bottom of it and then screw into the plate.



    The aluminium base plate. The circular things are the feet, top left block is the psu, top right small block is the fan and fan mount, middle bottom box is the cd drive and bottom right is the HDD bay. You can see the amazing clearance of 1mm between the hdd bay and the PSU!



    Fan mount



    HDD Bay. There are 2 of each of the bottom pieces



    This is the motherboard tray. I promise all the crazy holes will make sense in the end!



    Finally, the masterpiece is unveiled! The completely redesigned fan controller and ccfl/led power board. This is the control hub of all the lighting. The board measures 8cm x 4cm.


    So not a very big update. I have ordered the acrylic, should be here tomorrow. Then i can cut up some acrylic!


    Oh wait i nearly forgot something...




    Custom made waterblock for the 9300 chipset FTW! Thanks so much to duniek, can't wait to get some money so i can pay him and get it shipped to me!

    Ok that really is everything now!

    Thankyou nightkhaos

    Update #10



    Left side acrylic panel cut and engraved! Aqua tuning sponsor's logo.



    eBuyer logo etched out



    Holes for the GPU fan. Around 180 holes!



    More shots of the engraving



    The entire left side panel. There is a version of this without the sponsorship logos so when the time comes i can submit it for MDPC (MDPC doesn't take PCs with sponsorship logos on).



    CD drive base. This will be glued onto the cd drive (please don't kill me! I swear it is the only way for this to work!)



    Right hand acrylic panel



    Top acrylic panel with holes for rad and fillport.



    Motherboard tray (i told you it was complicated!)



    Here we have some orange UV anti kink coils. These things are great!





    SATA laptop optical. This thing actually isn't the right cable, and it annoys me greatly, since it took 3 weeks to ship from hong kong! I have no idea what it is, but it isn't a normal sata optical.



    4gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800mhz - £20 from someone on OCN!





    It is finally here! My nickel-plated-custom-made-insanely-awesome 9300 chipset waterblock for the zotac 9300-itx wifi motherboard! Thanks Duniek! The craftsmanship is stunning...





    Perfect base



    Latching vandal switch (blue LED)



    Pins for...

    24 pin and 4 pin connector



    Approves!



    Some mesh from MNPCtech! Thanks Bill! http://www.mnpctech.com/moddersmesh.html



    Hard drive bay. Not glued yet





    Test fit of CD drive, cd drive base and hard drive bay





    This is the design for the aluminium front surround. The 2 larger holes are the power switch and the light switch, the two smaller ones are fan controller potentiometers. The slot hole near the bottom is for the CD drive. Those funky designs wrap around the components



    And finally, V4 of the fan controller! This now measures 83mm x 33mm and is gonna be awesome! I have ordered all the parts for it. I will start PCB manufacture maybe on friday.

    Thanks for reading!
