BLACK'S MAGIC- 100% Structurally COMPLETE - PHOTO UPDATES 7-23-2010
Epyx:
Thanks rablack97...perfect!
I had seen one of those sites and they indicated they were no longer stocking after "out of stock" status...but I will grab a green.
vertygo:
I really like the fans idea, that's great!
Are you sure the angle of the CP is going to be enough to blow against the players ? Or are you doing something different ?
drventure:
You know, that got me to thinking
I picked up a couple of Logitech "chillstream" USB controllers a while back.
They're really nice, but I think my favorite part of them is the little fan and the vents that you can turn on to blow air over your hands while you play.
They work surprisingly well.
So, instead of fan cutouts like that, drill several artistically placed holes in and around the joysticks and buttons, and put fans underneath (maybe with some ducting or channels) that would blow air out the holes to keep your hands cool while you played. Accentuate them with the CP art and you'd almost not realize they were holes, maybe backlit them with some RGB led's or something.
Regardless, though, I really like your artwork!
vertygo:
that's a great idea drventure, but oh how that will just add fuel to the flames of "how do I layout / space my buttons" :cry:
Seriously tho, that would very cool. I wonder if you could curve up some vents (like 90 degree funnels) and just blow air "down" the CP itself.
drventure:
Yeah, I could see that, maybe put some hoods over the fans at the top of the panel to redirect the air to blow down across the panel.
Yep, that'd work too.
Good stuff.
