LOL .
Gotta say it is so much nicer doing a case with a plan, really simplifies it all .

[SXRguyinMA]

yes, yes it does. I found that out doing my Tempest SXR mod. if it weren't for sketchup, building that thing would have been a lot harder

Looks like an awesome plan. And yes, reciprocating saws are awesome. ..never used a pneumatic on before though..hmm...

Never tried an electric one but being able to control the speed from the pressure is saweeeeet & so are the blades it takes, you can basically mod a hacksaw blade to work with it, so awesome , not only that but I've done a ton of cutting with the 1 blade & is still great for cutting more.

Neither can I , the only thing slowing the pace down now is my sleep pattern sometimes goes out of sync like last night, didn't get to sleep til 5am so woke up late but I'll get the rest of the marking done with the rest of today & start the cutting tomorrow, marking takes much longer than cutting for getting the initial sized pieces.

Heheh, yup, I love them. Several times over the years when my dad has done various home improvement stuff and needed to cut a hole in an outside wall, they make it really easy. Just cut off all water/electric/etc to the wall (just in case), drill a hole through it at a corner of the cut you want to make, put a biga** blade on the saw, and just cut through the whole thing.

So utterly glad the dremel was done for at the time otherwise I may have not tried it lol.

Got all the marking up done yesterday .

Another bit I was slightly worried about was cutting the acrylic, worried if the saw cracks it so tested it out on a small

corner first & it did the job fine at a lower pressure .

Cut the pci/IO pieces & the hdd fan holders to size.

I coloured the cut to size bits for the acrylic white on the checklist.

Tomorrow I'll hopefully put the disc sander to use & get the aluminium & acrylic slimmed down to the precise sizes needed, then they will be ready for marking up again for details .
