Obsidiana (obsidian)

Thanks
Snow is very unusual in the zone of the country where I live , the last week , we got snow in cities where never fall snow.

Three years ago , falls a lot of snow in my city (last time that fall snow in Buenos Aires was in 1918 ) , this year was not our turn , was at 300km from here

Weather is turning more crazy every year in my opinion .

Zitat von Klopsch

I went to slovenia for kayaking. It was freaky hot. The rivers had a very low water level.
I hate global warming.

The summers in Germany become hotter and the winters colder.

Here , every winter is less cold than the previous , but by the way , now we got snow more often when we must not have snow where I live .
Worldwide weather is ruining faster.

Thanks

I made A skin for the VGA to make it look better , I'm sure that you can find some little defects on the lines , free hand made with dremmel .

Yes , Flames must be one of the most recurrent themes on Modding , but I never done it before and I want to , and plus , have relation with volcanoes.

This is a sample of how it will look.

Is a very bad picture , looks so much better in real , I will search for a better camera for the final image gallery

Thanks for all the comments.
The mod is almost finished , all the lights are blue or violet U.V. , it look so blue , so I choose orange to break the monochromatic theme and to gain more contrast.
The flames will be painted from the back with orange U.V. reactive paint , to get a more solid and bright appearance

Samples

Even with the bad quality of the picture , you can see the difference.

PD: Next images will be better

Recently I install an Hyper n620 cooler from Cooler Master for my CPU , but I have to reinstall the stock cooler because The N620 is too big for Obsidiana (at this moment I was using a generic atx case).
After this I start to think in a way to modify the stock cooler to make it look better.

First I use the outside ring of an old fan , and put 12 UV leds towing inside of the ring (is still a prototype)

And put a orange U.V vinyl stripes in 3 of the 9 sails of the cooler fan

I supose that you must be wondering the reason of this , or maybe thinking why did I not just paint the entire fan in that color.

And yes there is a main reason for that , the leds ring will be used as a strobe lamp to get a variety of visual effects.

This is the oscillator circuit , the varialble resistor change the frequency , allowing to change the effect that we want to see

A video to see it working

Thanks for the comments , I'm glad you like it.
Yes , I still have to hide the wires and the leds , this is just a prototype.
This is the circuit.

Remember , the visual effect depends on the frequency , if the fan has a different speed some values must be recalculated.

The music is a Tool ´s song called Right in two from the album 10000 days

This strobe effect looks dramatically reduced when you see it through the dark smoke acrylic I redesign the ring , increment the number of leds and change the configuration.

The cover to hide the wires I made it with a plastic sheet and black vinyl , usin a papercraft style.

Hi , I`m back
This project is almost finish , just need to change the side steel grill for another custom grill made in acrylic.
Every one that see it says that looks better in real than in pictures , It seem that I'm a bad photographer
Here some images , I hope you like it.

Thanks for the opinion and the advice , I made the pictures in low light conditions trying to avoid the reflections on the acrylic panels , next time I will try your method.
