Lol, no dirty thoughts I hope pOPe lol. The syringe will be used for the initial fill of the bay res, it's too hard to get a funnel in the small space around the fill port. It will also be used for top ups through the fill port mounted on the top of the case.
hes really addicted to modding...Quote:

Yay, time for an update.
Here are the spacers for my new case feet. They are marked with the mounting holes.
Pic:
The holes drilled:
But unfortunately, one of the cracked and broke while drilling. I wasn't even going fast.
Pic:
I had two choices in this situation, fix it or cut a new one; I decided to fix it. As it turns out the break was on the bit of the plexi which will be painted so either way you wont see the crack in the plexi.
Some super glue and 30 seconds later I was left with this:
Now it's time to drill the holes for the decorative bolts which also help to hold the mesh in place, I went for 2 domed nuts over 3 because after some consideration it looked a bit crowded.
Pic:
I drilled and countersunk the holes:
Perfect fit:
Well that's it for today. The rain is starting to set in now and I have no bolts to mount the mesh with so I'm not going to bother drilling the holes in the mesh just yet. Later this afternoon I may mark the floor of my case for mounting the radiator.Until then...
Happy Modding.
Time for another update.
Today I got stuck into mounting my radiator.
Here I where the radiator will be mounted, all taped up and ready to go:
HDD racks removed:
Plenty of room for the radiator:
I traced an outline of the radiator to help with the mounting:
All marked for cutting:
All the useless lines removed, only the cuts left:
All cut out:
And a shot with the radiator where it should be:
However, I made one mistake. Take a look at the last pic. I cut the width too wide. I measured from the outside of the radiator rather than the inside. It still fits but there is a tiny gap either side now. One I put the fan hole molding on the cut it should be just fine. Well that's it for now, may have some more towards the end of the week. Until then...
Happy Modding.
Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I was away all last week and half of this week and to top it all off the house is being painted, not much time for modding. Any way I did manage to get some work on the case feet and spacers done before I went away and finished them today.
On to the pictures.
Ok so I went out and got myself some more bolts and domed nuts:
I also got myself a pair of small clamps:
They are perfect for what I need them for.
I clamped the mesh to the plexi spacers and then through the holes I drilled in the spacers I drilled identical holes in the mesh:
All drilled:
The plexi attached to the mesh with the domed nuts and bolts I brought:
Ok so that's the stuff I did before I went away last week. Now here is what I did today.
The Spacers are FINISHED!!!
All 4 feet with spacers in all their glory:
A close up of the completed case foot:
A pic of the mounting bolts:
Sorry I don't have pics of working towards the finished product but I can run you through it. Basically I just filed down the overhanging mesh while it was still attached to the spacers. Then I removed the protective tape from the spacers and taped off each end. I then painted the center stem of the spacer. Then I removed the protective plastic film from the mesh and bolted it to the spacer followed by the case foot. Quite boring steps, I know you guys like the eye candy lol ;).
I have also found a way around the gap I made while cutting the hole for my radiator. I will be using 2 mesh strips to cover the gap from the underside. These will be painted black to fit in with the rest of the case. Well that's all I have for now. The last few days of my holidays will be dedicated towards my homework so don't expect another update this week. Until then...
Happy Modding.
Those feet looks pretty sweet, god job mate :)
Thanks mate. As soon as I get my radiator mounted correctly I will mount the feet and post some pics of the complete bottom of the case. I am still working on some lighting for those feet.
I see you posting on everyone elses worklogs and not updating yours! Wheres the updates?? lol
