Yay an update, good to see your feeling a bit better. Looks good mate, you should have used a jig saw to cut the metal instead of the Dremel. Wouldn't have you taken long at all.

So I sprayed 2 layers of satin green pain on the interior components today....This paint will get scratched and chipped as I slide the computer in and out of the casing. (That's the idea anyway!) I want the thing to look old and battered.....
I then riveted tha main parts together. (Fush rivets on the sides and ordinary rivets at the back)
I will still have to make some minor changes on the back panel but noting drastic.
I hope you can begin to see what is gonna happen here.
More updates soon
Ouch!
Nice colour choice, looks really old school.
Looking good man. Thats a really nice green.
Sorry there have been no updates on this for a while.....I have been working hard on it but no new photos....
Have started work on the lighting system for this case and it's gonna be a surprise....It involves the valves and some lasers. But, it's meant quite a lot of work. I have also made a side window for the case and drilled & tapped all the holes to bolt that on the outside. I have a deadline and at the moment it doesn't look good! It may not be ready for the LAN party (i32)......but, I'm not going to rush it.
More soon...
Ouch!
I like that old O-scope. This will be one cool mod.
I will be watching with interest...
Here's the new rack I built to hold my valves.....They'll be lit from behind by super-bright LED's controlled by this unit.....
This is the front.
I dismanltled the voltmeter and put 3 led's in the face Red Green & Blue. These will act as a power led and just means you can switch between the colours. The voltmeter will show hard disk activity.
Here's my little wiring block LED's are colour coded.
The wires will be connected via a big chunky switch on the front of the case.....you'll see....
Ouch!
Sweet. I like the idea of the volt meter for the HD usage. Great job so far.
Very cool, nice work.
so will the needle move in cording to how much activity the HDD is participating in?
