Project Nighthawk: Skunkworks F117-A Worklog

Looks absoloutely brilliant. Vey Stealthesque (I don't think that is a word). Keep 'em coming.

Nice looking so far, can't wait to see it finished.

I'm goin to have to look into using Stryrene for the case I'm working on now.
What are you using to glue the stryrene together and how strong of a bond does it give?

Ok here's some pics I took before final construction and painting:

That is one funky lookin' PC. Is that HUD going to have something look at behind it or is it just a cool aesthetic piece?

Crimson, u tha man!

And yeh, are you planning to have that HUD have a working display or not?
Or are you gonna make us wait and see =P

looks great!

I wish my workbench was that organized... :p

Sexy...

Wow Man

Project Nighthawk is completed and delivered!...There are a few details that were not completed in time for the Paris Airshow, like the laser etching for the HUD and some insignia...I'll get to this when its in my hands again fir a LAN event. The owners of Cableorganizer.com were thrilled with the project and are having fun playing with it. They are some awesome folks at that company, a real role model for the small to medium sized business, and I can't wait to work with them again. Anyway I just got in the door but here is a first pic. I'll put more up later. Thanks to all for following along with the project! :) :)

wow man!! that looks sick. hey what LAN event are you talking about? something in NYC?

thats gotta be a thrilling experience. very nice. i wonder what happened to the screen on the right. it seems to be out of the order looking at the others.

Here are some in progress pics that i did not have time to post earlier in the project. I have a bunch more but I need some rest tonight:

Check Rebel Sport Catalogue and Amart Catalogue.

thanks man. I think we were playing around with the Hat switch on that third monitor when I took the pic so it is out of alignment

Teh amazink!

All i can say is WOW. Very Very good job

That is the most awesome work I have ever seen. I wish I had half your talent. I looked through the thread and didn't see anything about what type of touch screen that is, and I am unable to make out the name on the front of it. Would you share the wealth and tell us.

Thanks for the kudos!

That would be the 7" Lilliput LCD with TouchScreen. Not a bad screen for the price. VGA screens are pricey, unlike their lower res composite video bretheren that sell for $100 or so.

Thanks and keep up the excellent work. Which project are you going to focus on now???

I like the way the case is raised off the ground. It makes it look like it is flying. Very nice touch. The etching on the HUD is going to look great too.
