Been some time and I think an update is due. I've been and will be busy, but sometimes I say F it all and get back to old modding. Since I updated the tensa thread, I thought I should do something here too
my case being emptied, cut and prepped for evolving, I started putting pieces together.
marking spaces..
doing some cuts..
pondering and mocking..
this is the most important problem I have: the dang PSU is too big and those darn cables be huuuge!!
I tested the adhesive and I'm happy with it. If it will be needed, it's gonna hold.
system was assembled, but not completely, to move some stuff from one hard drive to another... this is how n0name stands now.. again
second take with the sheet metal. This time, I used my head and made a piece ten times stronger than the first. In the final version, this piece will be hidden deep inside the front face panel system. And I plan on using lots more sheet metal, so I need some experience.I've seen a nice mod with sheet metal, bondo and paint somewhere.. One thing I'm not so sure about now is the mesh.. There isn't any now, but I wanted some.. some time ago..
basically, I cut the holes but leave extra. Then I fold the extra.. one or two times. Gives strength.. and I respected the tolerances
in the big hole down stairs, I'm planning to add a dvd-rw and the vortex, maybe equipped with a 10k rpm drive.
fan mocking. I'm thinking I'll go for either some Yate Loon fans or some AC ones..
some more minor work on those darn flames.. taking too long. Can't do more than a few centimeters in 2 or 3 hour sessions. My fault completely, I never thought cutting this steel would be that hard.. or noisy
Well, see ya all later. Mod on.
