Project: NLM.
First of all, hi.
I'm new on this forum, so I'll hope you guys make me fell home
The log has been on bit-tech and a danish forum called tweak for a while. But then I saw this forum and i thought that you shouldn't miss my project. My name on the danish forum is lp-freak and that explain the text in the picture
But enjoy my log guys (c/p :p)
Hi guys and welcome to my first project here on bit-tech!
My name is Jon, I’ve just turned 16, and I’m from a little country called Denmark, we haven’t got lots of good case modders here, so with this case I hope to bring Denmark onto the international modding scene
I would like to present my up-coming project: NLM which stand for Nano Lan Monster.
My last project was very big, and now I want to make something, more crazy and sensational. I’ve been thinking a lot, and then I suddenly realized that I needed something crazy! First I would make a theme case, you know like a Counter Strike theme or a mud theme, but then when one of my friends send me a link to one of those small Nano Itx motherboards, my brain started working ideas out.
Now I wont give you all details, but just a overview, and some of the main-things.
- Small
- Lan suitable
- Crazy
I think that’s it The dimensions is going to be about 15*15*20, I just need the last information, then I can give you the correct dimensions.
My color-theme is black and orange.
I’ve just ordered some orange plexi; 3 and 5mm
As soon I’m getting home from vacation (about 25’th February) I’ll order all the stuff I need, I’ve made a little list for you guys:
- Motherboard
- RAM
- PSU
- 120mm orange fan
- Orange cabelsleeving (1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2”)
- Black headshrink (1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” and 3/4”)
- Black connectors
- Orange 3mm leds
- Orange bulging button (and yes it exists)
And then I also want An airbrush (I’ve always wanted that tool )
I’ve got all the tools I need, so if I just take my time, I’m sure I’ll get a good result!
Oh and also when I remember it! I’m going to build this case, cause I couldn’t find one to mod
But now I wont talk anymore, lets get to work. First part will follow in 2 minutes. Cya!

Update 1 – Fridge Part 1 @ Tuesday the 6th February 2007.
For word
I’ll build a little fridge for my case, I’ll start building the fridge because it’s the biggest thing so I’m going to use the dimensions. In the first part I’ll only build the box, later I’ll show you how its going to work!
The funny part
First I’ve gut out some pieces I’ll be using to the inmost where the cola is going to be.
All the pieces isn’t on the picture, but just to get an idea of the size I’ll show you this image.
Now I’ve bend some of the corners.
This is how they look, that’s great
The first pieces putted together, I used rivets to hold them.
That’s defiantly good enough for the inside, I’ll anyways paint it.
Now the whole box is rivet together, that’s not bad
Now with a beer in it, it fits perfectly!
Now I gave it some silicone to hold condense inside the box, we wont have wet hardware will we?
Now I’ve made the outside cover ready some synthetic metal.
The stuff I’ll put on will cover cracks like those, and when I paint it, you cant see anything

Re: Project: NLM.
Some shots after the synthetic metal. I’ll sand it down.
Now I’ve rough sanded the corners.
So now I call the dremmel.
And after some dusty hours I’ve got a cover ready to fine sanding
Well, now away from that boring sanding, and time to find some materials, first here’s the isolation I’m going to use, original it was noise killer material for my other project, but I bet I can use it here as well.
The paint I’m going to use.

Update 3 – Fridge Part 3 @ Thursday the 15th February 2007.
For word
Today I’ve got a lot of work done on the fridge. Maybe it looks a bit messed, but I’ll try to explain the pictures so you can follow me.
The funny part
I’ll start showing you some of the stuff I’m going to use.
Here’s the to first things, a hinge and a some kind of “fastening” (Don’t know what to call it ^^)
But let’s take a closer look.
Here’s the hinge, I’ll give it some black paint before continue.
Here’s the ”fastening”, its quiet smart. As the way I’ve put them together at the last picture, they’ll be in the final result.
Here’s the block who’s going to lead the heat away from the peltierelementet, as I’ll show you in 2 sec.
This is the back, I’ll sand it down.
And the little 40mm fan I’m going to use.
I gave it some power, but it’s blue.
Right there You’ll find a led (and 2 other places), I have to open the fan to kill them.
Now they’re gone.
Aaah that’s much better.
At Tuesday I got some stuff from the post.
Here’s its most important contents, the peltierelement! I want it to cool the whole fridge, and I swear its effective! I’ll give you some temps when it’s installed.
If you shouldn’t know the one side is 60degreeds colder than the other, and if i then cool down the warm side, the other will be cold It use 4A and 12V which give an effect at 48W, which give my PSU some opposition ^^ Don’t worry I’ll take case of that later.
Some leds. Orange off cause. They’re on 2V so I’ll put them together 6 and 6 in serial on the 12V line.
And a lot of headshrink.
This is how I want to mount the pelterelement.

Re: Project: NLM.
Now lets get to work! The first I did was to sand down the block, grit 120 – 300 – 600 – 1000 – done. This is how I looks now
Here I’ve draw where I’ll gut a 1mm groove for the hinge.
Cut out.
But before mounting the hinge, I’ll need a door. There’s 3 parts in the door, a outside, a inside, and the isolation between. This one is the outside.
Before I can mount the door I’ll need to make a little plate which 1½mm. It fits very good.
Now I’ve got some bolds on. But I wont use those, I’ll use rivets.
Now it’s mounted. Crap picture, I’ll bring you a better one in the next update.
I mounted the fan to see how it will look, it fits perfect with 4mm bolds, so I’ll use those. (Off cause I’m going to paint them.)
I’ve cut some holes on the inside of the door, it works good.
From the other side, the one who turns down to the cola. I need to finish this.
And the fastening is mounted.
Now the little thing which hold the door, It’ll be mounted on the same plate as the coolblock.
A little overview.
When I was working the post gave me a package.
That’s it.
In it I’ve found some plexi Orange off cause! 2 pieces. One at 5mm frosten and one at 3mm clear. This is definitely enough for the little NLM
That’s not bad
Hope to see you soon guys!
Comments are welcome as always
Btw. I’ll repaint the outside box

The funny part
