:twisted: later.

I had good service and good prices from https://www.estreetplastics.com

[Fallen]

Update
i have most of the sites that im going to buy from saved in my favorites. i have to wait to start purchasing the eqipment until im finished with my autobody class.(im workin on my jeep cherokee)

[elbarto241]

i personally like http://www.delviesplastics.com/
better. cheap prices and shipping.

FYI...

I just compared the 2 sites that were provided and eStreetPlastics has cheaper prices for thier plexi but they do charge more for shipping. For a 3/16x12x12 clear blue sheet of plexi, total for estreet was $13.84 and Delvie's was $12.24. Delvie's ships from Utah and estreet form Texas. Granted Texas is further from my location, not quite enough to justify the shipping difference.

Gave him something helpful.

I am starting my own project but for now I will help fallen with very, very, detailed parts if he wants any done. (And of course I'm making them for my project. Makes it easy to find exact spaces, dimensions, wire spaces, etc.)
Fan blades? They are all different. not bothering for now.

I like where Fallen's project is going.

[Gen.Omega]

I was "TheGeneral" by the way. I'm here now.
Fallen, keep it up with the updates I like so far.

[Fallen]

sorry for the lack of updates. i kinda spent my money on halo 3 just to have it not to work :'( . anyway my friend alex and i are going to start to build the wooden mock up of the case in his dad's shop class at my highschool.( it also has a welding shop there too! XD ) so i will get some progress done for once lol. later

[Fallen]

[Fallen]

1 pulled the protection paper off so i could see what i was doing
2 i have some tears
3 over cut in a few places

the other thing i did today was disasemble a case for parts.
what i got out of it.
1 mobo tray
2 pci tray
3 5.25 rack
4 3.5 rack
5 may take the 80mm fan thing out of the main case and build a box for my pump because it has holes for power connections. will look nice because i will run a fan above it. either red or blue. i havent desided.

in other news. i most likely will buy soem sheet aluminum this weekend so i can start to buil the outside of the case. anyway im out for now. peace

[Fallen]

man i f*(ked up

my old computer top the one where i got my parts from.

that thing i wanted to cut out.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah that plexi does look a bit screwed lol, oh well, practice makes perfect.

[Fallen]

i think i will keep the horse and use it as part of the case badge

[Fallen]

i think i know why i f*(ked it up
i started with too big of a drill bit and i took the template off toearly. also i didnt remask the plexi. andway i still have two pieces of the red left. i havent even touched the black yet.

[Fallen]

I'm saddened that i don't get as many comments. i would appreciate your input

[dexaroni]

Take your time bro. Draw out your lines, and follow them. Don't try to make round edges. Cut it out with straight sharp edges (the Ferrari text), then sand to get the rounded edges.

It's a good concept, and practice does make perfect.

[Fallen]

iscoped out some old computers that i can use as scraps.
an old server case that weighs a ton

[The boy 4rm oz]

Always good to have spares.

[Luke122]

Scroll saws and coping saws work nice for detail work like that logo. As mentioned above, take your time, and things will turn out great. :)

Keep the pics coming of progress too, even failures. People like pics.. my first project didnt get any comments at all until I had a dozen pics in it. hehe

[Fallen]

last night i made a drawing of what i would like the front of the case to look like. it has a temp gauge cluster on the front to measure the themp in the res,1st line, and the second line. i think i would cut it out of plexi, round the edges of it, then cover it in CF vinyl. it would accent the door of the case. anyway ill make a mockup in paint and post it here.

[Fallen]

whao new theme?(site layout)?

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah new site layout/theme.

[Fallen]

update.

as of late i am short on funds for the project but i do have a paycheck on thursday. i have bought my paint but i need to purchase some sealer for my paint. the final sanding on my jeep is at 75 %completed. i hope to paint within the next week! make me very happy! later/

[Fallen]

im painting my jeep this week so i will be able to work on my computer very soon sorry for lack of updates. i will show pictures of the completed paint job next week

[billygoat333]

you did better than i could on the ferrari cutout :p so dont feel too bad.

[Fallen]

update.
well as of now it is going to be very hard for me to add photos to the weblog. i am now reduced to use dial up as a internet connection. so no photos for awhile.
also i have entered a class in which i will recive A+ certification. moreover i recive a discount through my class to buy componets. so yeah that about it for now. i hope everybody had a great christmas and newyears.

[dexaroni]

Yep yep, merry Christmas and happy new years!

Sorry to hear about the Dial Up. Do you live in the country or something?

[Fallen]

my entire state would be considered rual lol. we have a population of just over 660000

[Fallen]

sorry for no updates. ive been busy trying to get my car running so i can start driving it to places to buy parts more often.
