Starting on the left panel now.. HDD rack should be done for the next update
Left Panel
Not much time spent on it but progressing quite well with the jig deployed instead of the dremel. Having problem drilling the holes into the effin thick panel.
Covering the alu in paper is a pain in the ass. Took 2 hours for such a small piece to maneuver around with 2 philips screwdriver instead of fingers.
Wing
If you ask me, this is the hardest thing to deal with. Friggin fragile so have to go slow on it.
Head
Ran the LEDs through and covered the top of the head. Still very much more to work on the lower jaw, neck thickness, back of the neck, and top of the head. Those horns looks out of place so gonna break them and redo.
The back will be glued to the panel after some cuts. Got two of these from friend's shop and will cut into them to join the wires.
To think the head is almost finished but yet there's still more -_-
HDD Rack
Screwed them in after drilling the holes just now. Yet to sand them, don't really feel like sanding or filing when I'm doing mostly cutting and drilling at the time.
Thats a mock drive, a dead one from my friend's shop. With the holders on it'll be about 5mm taller than its position so the L-shaped corners don't interfere with the cables. Still need a top layer for a fan and to stabilize both sides.
Misc
Bought this mean lil thing for 19 bucks my money only, 1 liter. Got some on my thigh when I got the pull-tab off, and boy they burn really bad within seconds.
Will be in use after I cut the left panel. Nothing much to take out from the top and right panel.
So far most of the cut-outs aren't filed properly or sanded yet. Man, I just hate steel.
steel is a pain ... look like ur doing pretty good...
nice work man
Dude looking great, keep it up.
Looks awesome. Can't wait to see more!
I'm feeling lazy again now. Gonna go and get 2 80mm with UV CCFL on them for the top. Still deciding if I wanna paper the whole case. You know.. steel... I'm not really a steel type of guy.
Have to delay it for a while. No updates for probably till the next 2 weeks. Kinda busy
No worries mate, take your time.
Bahhh the delay will be longer than i like... this one whole month I'll be doing data transfer and hardware exchange for the local airline company... about a whooping 500 pcs.
Damn that's a lot of PCs lol. Good luck.
