one thing is for shure, they dont make the radios like before.
quality from a to z
and made to last

No, they don't it lasted for 63 years already. That's why I will give it a second life.

Oh, that's Great Sir !!

Thanks kgrjohn!

Don't destroy that! Keep it hidden somewhere, oh well if you want to use it then go ahead.. Please show some pictures of what your type of idea with it will be and do take big care with the task i cannot wait to see what you can create out of a 60 + year old machine.. make it red and black and go RoG style =P

No I won't. I will handle it with care and caution. I will be a big task. And I'm gonna take the time that I will be needed.
I should make some examples, yes. Will post them in a while.

keep the equipement that it has inside if you use it as case plz dont throw the things away its nise old craps that have value!! :P

Nothing will go in the trash. The inside is just what I'm loving about this type of radio.
You can call it like, steampunkish if you want

~Look what I found on the internet! An ornament for this build. I fell in love with it! And bought it
It will be the symbol (token).


It's brass baby!

This build is a very nice idea, good luck, CygnitrOn! I will definitely follow your work.

[Cygnitr0n]

Thanks Zka17.
The pleasure is also mine. And look what was in the mailbox?



So looking for more

[tadhp]

May I ask ..... which Saint is this ???? ^^^

[Cygnitr0n]

I really dont have a clue

Time to find it now that you asked about it


Update:

Let me give you all a short update. The update is to show wich light there will be in.
I'm using my own design PCB for the LED light. This LEDPCB is normally black but with some spray I turned it in to Bronze.
As you can see in the picture I spray the LED strip is not entirely smooth. This is a desired effect that I had not foreseen. So a good reason for an "old" look. The color of the LEDs be "Orange". These colors they had previously only. So that I would like to come back again.







I let the resistor come out of the PCB standing up. Liked it better this way.


And some pics with the light on.








I've already recieved a donorcase from a friend. Maybe I can use some parts of it.

And again in the round-up: http://rog.asus.com/113582012/news/m...-mods-roundup/

I've already got an donor PC. And I bought a mechanical clock.


The clock is working and maybe it will be intergraded in the build. Just behind were the speaker now is. I hope that I can make the wheels turn automatically in this build. I would be nice to see it's "alive" and working. I will paint the clock and the color would be brass or bronze.

Do we need to make a mini-ITX ROG board just to fit in there Cygnitr0n?

Yeah, ASUS ROG should make a mini-ITX ROG. How cute it will be!! A nice little powerboard

Paintskillz:


And here is a little sketch. What it would look like:

[Myk SilentShadow]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the end product Cygnitron oh and who did you quote as asking if ASUS should build a mini ITX RoG board? i'd be rather annoyed if they did, without at least making an mATX AMD board too....we should both be able to have what we want

[Cygnitr0n]

It's been awhile that I've post here. It's not that I'm doing nothing but I'm gonna move tommorow.
The build is on hold till after the moving. I don't want some parts to dissapear That would be devastating.

So, when the moving part is over, I'm gonna pick up this build. Can't wait! And in the meanwhile, I hope that ASUS ROG has a m-ITX board then

Till soon enthousiasts!
