Thanx dude, but I did not make the fan gril (if you are refering to the metal plate), it came with the case, where it was mounted on the side panel. The fan came from there too, but I did not like it in that location, and imo it was not going to serve any other purpose than to irritate me.rule69 wrote:Nice work man i love that gril u made... its soooo sexc
Thanks for the interest and comments, guys. It helps a lot with the motivation factor, if you know what I mean
Cheers,
Peter.

AAALLLLLRRIGHTY then. I have completed both front panels(top and bottom), last weekend.
The oval hole between the pipes did not look right, so I made the corners more square:
Polished up the 90's(since I have the brasso now ):
Removed the covers:
And assembled the whole shebang. Here it is with the front door closed:
And the front door open :
The next couple of shots are tricked, because I do not have the lighting installed yet, I used a bright light in the background. It kinda gives me an idea of the overall result that I want to achieve, once lighting is installed:
I know it is bright, but with the right amount of lighting things will be less stark. I'll be doing some work again over the weekend, but I am done with the front now...until I change my mind, that is
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks Skidd
I made the following HDD arrangement a couple of weeks ago.
The pics are self explanatory...
Thereafter, I stuffed around with extensions to the pipe panel...these will only be mounted at the very last moment, but at least it gives you an idea.
Umm, ja...I need to get the dust of eventually (just in case you thought it to be part of the look )
I am currently at the stage where I am to decide placement of the Optical Drive and temp/fancontroller. I have an idea, but implementing it is going to be something else of a mission altogether

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys!
I am having a real hard time getting my ODD mount sorted, due to space constraints.
I'm just glad no one can hear me swearing my head off, everytime my measurements are inacurate ...it is actually boils down to a real comedy of errors to be honest .

Human indeed, Vampyre .
And so, without further ado, here it is then:
I made a- what would seem to be, in retrospect- half assed attempt at getting a plan to paper before the event. This helped me absolutely didly squat, as the idea I had did not fit into the space which I designated in the case.
Note to self: Do not think it must be like that...make sure it is like that
One entire evening wasted and nothing to show, you see
Anyway, I fell back on my usual "measure and fit" method, which takes twice as long imo, but is absolutely spot on, in the end
What the f... aha pics at last
The initial cuttings:
You know, I could go on like this but here is it is a bit faster:
Then some mid fitting:
It was a brain storm...a polished tray cover WOOOOT!
And some pipe polishing...
And the (almost) finale:
Layered:
What I like is that at any angle, the light refraction is different. In this pice you would not say that there is an amber insert...
Of course I had to take some gratuitous( now where is that flippin' dictionary) close-ups:
And a final final shot:
Hope it was worth the wait
Cheers,
LJ
