looking forward to this!!

No more waiting!!!

I did a bit today, not much but it was fun. I have decided that this will now become a HTPC to serve in the bedroom. I can add USB ports to the red perspex which will be very convenient.

Firstly I had to dust off the old hag.


There are a couple of issues that will need alot of head scratching to fix like this


One thing that had everyone worried was the air cooling of the graphics card. This is what kept me busy for most of the afternoon





I then finished the side part of the enclosure



And it was inspected by a very competent person...


Assembled with some clear epoxy


And then on the side, I fixed my Dremel to my work table. This way works VERY well to cut those slots


Hope you ppl enjoyed and hopefully I won't take another year for this mod to finish

mooi man

not much but at least your getting somewhere. what happened to the plexi panel?

I didn't measure properly. I will have to take about 3mm off of the clear side piece.

always happens hey.... end up getting a little excited and some times end up rushing things and making mistakes

but then again anything can be fixed. sometimes its just not cheap though

I dig the cover Neat solution to a tricky problem

Moar!

They say he had James Bond for dinner...and, he has the scull to prove it...

Ladies and gentlemen...

Samaya is back.

Hey look I modded again.

Again not much but kept me busy while I waited for paint to dry (which didn't...)

So what did I do?
I made a guide:


To cut slots


3 of them exactly


(Nice and straight)


To supply the CPU with some fresh air

I just saw how DIRTY this mod is... probably because its seeing some wood dust falling all over it

When is the next Public holiday again? I might mod again then...



SMY

Awesome! Good to see you modding again!

I am probably never going to finish this mod. I won't have a use for it so its going into storage. I do have something else thats moving and opening that will have a use. New hardware coming next year will have to have a new case.

Bummer

Well its not a complete bummer...
