    thats pretty cool on the res idea, hope it works! as for the hole, a file is pretty cheap (get a round one) and will smooth that out a lot nicer! (or can also use the channel idea, quicker and easier I guess ) cool idea for a case! +rep will watch this to see how the res comes out! kind of reminds me of those bubble water toys.


    best picture I could find, they make big ones of those things too but I can't seem to find an image! grr.

    Ok so Pcclan contacted me just now, he's fine but not in Edmonton right now and about four days from being kicked out of high school. anyways, I got the plexi marked out, hers one of the sides and an inner piece marked out

    then heres the front and back pieces marked out

    heres one of all the plexi i might have to use

    and finally one of the Acrylic cement

    Now...it's my FIRST time making a res and i am wondering how to get straight clean cuts through the plexi, i have a table saw with a plywood blade and a dremel, I'd be willing to by a product if it were to help. Please help

    Your best bet would be to rough cut the sheets with your table saw, then clean up the eges with a router using a straight bit. This will give you the cleanest/smoothest edge for glueing the pieces together. You might want to do a flame polish on the edges before you glue them too.

    How thick is that plexi you are using? If its too thin you might run into some trouble.

    yea, OK so Pcclan transferred me the money today so i can order the rest of the parts tonight aka the motherboard, memory and psu. I'm having a bit of trouble cutting the plexi for the res right now, i tried a hacksaw and it gave a nice clean cut but the edge wasn't all that straight, and i'm unable to get at the table saw right this moment as we park our summer cars in the workshop during winter so I'm not sure what to do. Well that's it until either i cut and assemble the res or the parts come in...which ever happens first i guess.

    Ok so the parts arrived on monday, ive just too busy to post them.
    here's what greeted me on doorstep when i got home from work...i love it when ups just leaves boxes sitting at your doorstep. (mmm i love my new job at starbucks, free coffee)

    opened up the box this is what i saw

    everything out of the box

    it all hooked up and running, havent posted from it yet cause i still gotta install xp.

    all we (i) need to do now is get the case ready, get the bulgin power button, plexi and then get started on wc. all comments and critics welcomed

    Sorry for lack of updates, i started cutting the rad hole in the top of the case, as for the rest of the stuff... need to get a new hdd as the Seagate 1Tb harddrive went boom. My way of saying it no longer works and cannot be replaced as the sata port itself has fallen off. so thats a definet setback.
