Here are the two bus bars side by side. The larger bus bar just like the small one was a pipe. I flattened them out. The larger pipe I had to fold one flattened because it was to wide. Now that I folded it after flattening it,... it's even thicker.
See the difference.
Yes, it is fun, but it's hard work. Plus I can't TIG/MIG weld............Quote:

You didnt miss anything. I am just experimenting with these. I will bw working with them one the PSU is mounted and covered. They are bus bars. Ther will be like three of them. One for 12v, 5v, and ground. I will take all of the 12v wires off the PSU and solder them to one of the bars. The same goes for the 5v and ground wires. I will then solder all my peripheral wires to the bars. You know,... the the wires with the molexs that power you say dvd drives. Well I am making my own custom PSU panel using the chrome shower hose. The panel will have holes in which the hose will pass through. I will fasten the hose so it cant be pull back out. The wires will pass through the hoses and get soldered to the right bus bars. It makes everything look nice neat. This will be done later though.
So,... I got my package from Bill Owen from WWW.MNPCTECH.COM and I opened after noticing that the bag weighed more then I thought it would. He was kind enough to send me the U-Channel Trim Molding, several large and small Cable Clamps, and even some of his larger Reinforced Cutting Discs. He has to be one of the coolest guyz I know. Seriously. Thank you BILL!!! Now,... about these cutting discs:) These things are huge compared to the ones I had!!! They look like frisbe's!!! LOL. I am going to have to watch myself with these things. If I wasn't at work right now I would be home cutting something with these things, LOL. Also,... the trim molding, it very nice! For some reason I didnt picture it to look like this. I mean even though I saw it in a picture on his site it's hard to really grasp what it looks liek until you ave it in your own two hands. I thought for some reason it would be bulky, a true eye sore. But's its actually thin and sleek. I like it! I haev to see if it will fit in my little holes. if I doesnt I will trim some of the width and then try again. I hope it fits. It's nice:( We'll see in the morning. The cable clamps,... I am so going to use these to organize my cables behind the computer. I even have his business card!!! I feel so special:) Thanks again bill!
What you do on a saturday night is no business of ours! :eek:Quote:

You're a big inspiration to me, you've shown me that a lot of this stuff is very possible, given the right imagination and determination. I'm closing on a house with a great big garage very soon, and will have at least six weeks of remodeling to do before we can move in (the place is trashed, but cheap). Once we're established, I'm going to be doing a few mods myself, and to be honest, I don't think I ever would have considered it were it not for you, Paul, Defyant and a couple others.
Keep up the great work, and keep updating!
