Those feet look great.

look awsome... nice work... what voltage does each one run at??? i must of missed it

love those feet, look much better second time round

Just wondering tho, is it essential to glue them at all? could you not just drill the hole to the right size for the bolt and alow that to hold them in place like you want? just an idea, feel free to shoot it down in flames if you like :lol:

They all run at 12v. I used a 220 ohm resistor for 3 led's in each foot.

How dare you suggest that. LOL> Just kidding.

Actually I used only a slight amount of glue on the inside where the bolt hole is at that way it didn't wick out to the outside edge. I had to use some type of glue because the bolt head pulls against the red plexi, not the black. The hole in the black is large enough to fit around the bolt head. If the bolt head were to pull against the black, then it would stick out of the bottom of the foot. This way it is recessed inside the foot.

-I'm going to add some felt pads to the bottom to cover the bolt heads and so the feet don't scratch the table. Plus they make good vibration isolation.

Thanks though.

Ok, another update to keep you guys satisfied... LOL

In my last post, I was showing the radiator/fan assembly cover. Well, here it is finished and mounted. I added some modders mesh to match the intake fan on the other side. and the exhaust fan. I'll be using alot of that later on, on the bottom.

I also got all the case feet mounted and wired up.

here is a shot with the bottom mounted to the case.

This is the underside of the bottom. -Does that make sense?

Here is a shot with the flash on. The red glow is so bright you can still see it over the flash on the rear feet!

And here they are all lit up. -again, the board is upside down. I had to pull some power from Motorized Madness to test the lights. I destroyed my test psu for parts. Also, the color looks a little orange in the pictures, but trust me, they are a deep red color, just like I wanted!

Lastly I worked on the DVD mount. here are the two panels. You can see I cut slots in the panels so I can adjust the depth as needed if I ever change out equipment.

I set the lcd panel inplace just for fun.

Thats it for tonight.

Coming together very well Dan. I very much like the feet and the rad box.

once again you never cease to amaze. You did this with motorrized madness and R2 and now have to step it up again to top yourself. Well sir you have succeded. +rep for all teh hardwork and extreme focus on detail
