Bravo!

for now all monitor connections are temp! but more will come in the next few updates

for now soz guys just some boring stuff..... but it needed to be posted so i'll get it out of the way and go mod HP3 some more




Now that the front LCd is mounted, it's daugter board need a a home as well!

The oprif plab was to mount it @ the side of the case, where the access to the upper HDD's screw mounts are.....

This would just prove to be a pain... and a better position was found.
With a little bit of fiddling and a few mm's to spare the LCD daughter board was squeezed and guled into place between the LCD and Lower Fan.

This solution actually works much better! keeping the whole unit as one!

The Fans 120's are connected to the 5V rail, this still moves plenty of air and keeps them nice and quiet.

The Front LCD as seen before is REMOTE controlled! i needed to work this function into the front of the case.


The simple solution was to just drill a how to allow the signal to pass thru the front of the case.

To fill the hole a small peice of tinted plex is "wittled" to shape, rather than just glue a peice to the back i decided make the peice sit flush with the front of the case.

The ruff edges are filed smooth

The window is poped in for a "looksee"

The panel is poped back on the case and the Quality Control Cheif is brought out for some stringent pruduct testing!!!
