Project; Mark1

Well, I finally got some appreciable progress done today.
First, I cut a hole in the mobo tray for access to the cpu cooler. Not exactly foward thinking, but it's a nice addition.

I flared out the sides around the screw mounts, just in case. Ok just for the heck of it.

Speaking of the cpu cooler, I decided to add a layer of plexi to make it a little thicker, and
hold more pressure against the cpu.

I also cleaned up the edges of the various cuts. I had planned on filing them straight, but I
decided that sucks so I just used my dremel.

Not too bad, actually. Not perfect, but close enough for government work. The edges are
not sharp at all, but I probably will give em a little sanding, just for fun. (huh?)

Gots to do me some measurin. I'm taking measurements for the 'wire channel.' I had
some pieces actually cut for this already, here's an older picture of it;

but I decided to incorporate the ram cooler into it. So, I measured, and I cut and I drilled
and her we go,

a ram cooler. Or, as the say in France, ze ram coola

I will file the holes square, (sound familiar?) and I will put spacers between the fan and
the panel, so it wont restrict airflow. I may put some mesh in there, to better hide the fans.

Speaking of mesh, (like the seque's here?) I am kinda thinking of using this panelling for
the right side. Too many times the right side goes neglected, ignored. I am thinking I'll use
this, with some mesh behind it so you can't see through it.

I had also took the heatsinks off the mobo, to replace the TIM. I had heard it helps.

now now boys, it's not polite to stare.
