Ok,... on with the update.
Here's the sheet I will be using to cut out the top of the HDD rack.
Cut to size.
All scratched out,... confusing?
Hows thats? Still confuing though. I have to be REALLY careful not to cut through the wrong lines.
Cut the edges off. I had to stop here because I had no means of drilling out the inside cuts other then using the drill press. I havent really set it up yet so I just called it quits.
Tomorrow I will finish it. Night.

Update.
Finished scroll sawing the top of the rack.
Going to bend the tabs now.
Bent. These tabs are going to be folded so they can be drilled and tapped. They will hold the rack to the bottom panel of the 5.25" bay.
Some more bending,...
I used this angled steel and a hammer to make 90 degree bends.
Finished. All the tabs are bent, the outer, inner, and the mounting. The overal finish of this rack isnt goignto get much better then this. It kinda hard to sand it to make it look nice with all the tabs. Well,... its impossible actually seeing that I was using the orbital sander.
Center tabs for center support braces.
I built thius half-ass stand for this tool chest:) It's half-ass and I dont care:) This is an accomplishment for me:)
I'm going to start working on the bottom of the rack tomorrow:)

Ok,... had to cut it a bit short today but I finished the mockup for the bottom of the HDD rack and as of now,... I like it more the the top piece!!! It's so cool!
Heres the mockup all cut out and ready to be bent.
These are going to be folded. Two 80mm fans can be bolted to these things.
Folding complete.
80mm fan in place. Look how dead on!
With top piece.
Heres the aluminum I will cut it out of. I already cut it to size. I just have to scatch it out and cut. I'll finish that tomorrow.
I hope I am not to tired to work on it tomorrow. I am going to try and finish the rack tomorrow. Bye.
Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
I only have one pic today, LOL. I didnt finish the bottom of the rack just yet. So close though. All the picture taking of this piece comes after where I lefted off so the next time I work on it I'll take pics. Here's the one pic I took.
I am going to be doing a double at work tomorrow for some OT and on sunday so that means I wont be able to do anything until monday:( That is if I am not to tired:( So I guess,... till then:( Peace.

Sketchy, The case is made by Lian-Li
Though I think by now, this can no longer be considered a lian-li case.
Great work here Tribal, been watching it every day to see what ya come up with next. Keep it up and keep us informed :)

Ok,... heres the deal. I haven't done any work lately because I had to move home. I was having relationship problems and this is what ended up happening. Until now I had no computer or camera to log my work. I ordered some stuff to get the components for backout running. A cheap case, some 80mm fans, keyboard, another PSU(OCZ 520W POWER STREAM). I also got two litho batteries, charger, and a card reader all for my camera. Sunday I am going to get everything running. I got everything for the computer and I got the card reader. I am waiting for the batteries and the charger. As soon as I get everything,... I will get back to it. I just havent been myself lately because of all this. Just give me a couple more days and everything will be back to normal. Sorry.
