    Im ok now that I took some good pain killer. It happened when I was drilling out a rivet on a 90 degree steel bracket. I didnt have enough room for pliers so I used my hand . I didnt have my hand over the rivet, just next to it but, the drill poped through the hole because I was using to much pressure and I hit My hand at full speed. Thats an 18 volt Dewalt as fast as it will spin. So I hit my middle finger and I started oozing blood. Dumb me, I wiped it off on my pants and wrapped it in masking tape so i could keep working. After about an hour the tape was soaked a dripping and I had blood everywhere. So I got some peroxide and cleaned it out. Thats when i noticed I went to the bone, I could see my insides, and I think I cut the tendon because I cant bend it well. Oh well, just anther story.

    Well Iv ordered A few parts that should be in this week.

    The first parts I ordered was an on/off key to disable the remote start and the on/off switch on the case. This way I can keep tabs on everyone .



    I also ordered some switches for the on/off and reset.

    Key Start/Arm

    Theres the link. They have all different kinds to chose from, just scroll down and you will see them. They are cheap to, just be careful of the $7 shipping.

    Ok, I have some real updates for everyone. I got a good hour of work into this case today.

    I re-cut the angled aluminum for the top plate support. The edges almost line-up but its good enoughh for government work .



    I also made the top plate for the case. That was probably the easiest part of all so far. My measurements were nearly dead on and I didn't screw up with the dremel once. I still have to trim the back plate to be flush with the top and I also have to drill the holes for the screws to secure the top.


    Closer Look- Front

    Back

    I also took a pic with the door next to the case so you can get the idea of what it will look like.


    I also bought a new toy today. I got the cut-off wheels EZ-Lock kit. Let me tell you, I will never go back to the old discs. Not only does it take 2 seconds to put on a new wheel, but they last alot longer as well. Im talking 3-4 times loger.



    Well thanks for looking at my mod, I plan on attaching the front and raer doors tomorrow so dont stray far .

    Well I have some good news, Im done the back panel.

    I cut out the holes using my dremel and then threw on some red primer and flat black.



    I then cut out the holes for all of the fan and Power Supply. (Tip: dont paint then drill holes, just creates more work ) Now I have to hit it with another cote of paint and some sandpaper.



    Heres a pic with the top on and I still need to drill holes and mount this.



    I decided to throw in some goodies so you can get the idea of how this is going together.



    I also put some-more bondo on the front panel, I need to hit it with some sandpaper and the dremel.



    I picked-up some hinges for the doors today. I think they are for gates so they should holdup well and they also seem to hollow the lines of the case.



    Thanks for viewing and comments welcome, good or bad

    Thanks for the comments everyone. I got a little bit of work done yesterday but I have to go to work soon so Ill post an update tonight or tomorrows.

    Ookazoo- The rivets are just the biggest pop-rivets I could find at my local hardware store. Im not sure as the size because I have sense thrown away the packaging but When I get somemore Ill let you know. With sketchup..., well I would say Im that good but just practice with it. The hardest thing for me is the switch from AUTOCAD. Sketchup seems to be a little more deifficult at making it do what you want and to make everything semitransparent click "View", "face style", then "X-ray." under the menu bar.

    Thanks again everyone.

    -danthegeek

    Edit-

    Well I decided to throw in an update anyways

    I worked on cutting out the design for the top plate. Behind the star and 4 rectangular holes will be frosted plexi, either red or white, but im not sure yet.



    I didnt finish cutting the holes because I got distracted. It turns out the star can be used as a weapon. Ninja Star TIME. (yes I did actually throw it from about 10 feet away.)



    I also came up with this design for the HD cage.



    I got the aluminum bent for the supports and ley me just say, bending 1/8 inch thick aluminum is not easy task by hand. I had to do both at the same time so I would get the bends right.



    I still have to cut out the angled pieces for the bottom and the drill holes for the mounting screws for the HDs and the case.

    thanks again.

    Well another Update.

    I finished the cut out of the top plate. The only thing is I screwed up but no worries. I think I will use thin red plexi for the stripes that go trough the center of the rectangles. It should look good, maybe enven better .




    I also finished the HD cage. I decided to go with 2 instead of 3 sense thats all I will need for a raid 0.



    And some paint.



    I will try to update again tomorrow but its finals week at college . Dont be suprised if I disapear for a few days.

    Well everyone, modding is on hold for a few days. I hurt my back earlier today and Im in bed now, all I did was bend down and BOOM. Shooting pains, I fell to the floor and couldnt move or breath and my father didnt know what was wrong, as I couldnt talk. I laid there, my father had to pick me up and put me on the couch. Yes I did cry, first time in a few years, but that was by far the worst pain I have every experienced in my life. Im on some godly (yes, godly, they are that good) pain killers now so I can move around.

    Anyways I should get back to this in a few days

    -danthegeek.

    EDIT-

    I almost forgot to tell everyone about my new toys. Today my dad went to a military show and picked me up a couple of ammo boxes. I dont have a pic of the big one as its not cleaned-up yet but, its about twice as tall as this one.

    Thus should make for a cool HTPC.

    A micro atx motherboard and power supply fit perfectly.

    And a pic to show you the size. The frame behind it is a micro atx case and my everyday pc behind that is a mid-tower

    I shall start another worklog for this one soon. It should only tajke me a few days to complete.
