OK time for an UPDATE!!!
I needed something to fix the unneeded holes in the side of the case. So, I went to Autozone and bought some "Quick Steel." So I used this and it worked great. Its so strong, I dont have to worry about the holes anymore. If I need to drill a smaller hole in the same spot I can.
Right Side holes fixed and primed.
Left Side holes fixed and primed.
For the front I used the "Quick steel" again to attach the front panel and primed. Trust me, it isnt coming off. I tested it with other scrap pieces and a hammer. I destroyed the steel before it even started to crack. I just need to fill in the gaps a bit and sand the primer smooth.
While the primer was drying, I cut the bracket for the CD-ROM drive. Easy enough
I went ahead and marked to screw holes for the top cover.
The I used a small drill bit (forget the size) and made a hole for the sheet metal screws.
The finished product. If you notice the top left screw has a brocken head. Nothing some vice-grips cant fix. .
Once the primer was dry I sanded the entire case and primed it. A little smoother and I will need this when I paint it and blacken in some areas like I did for the top cover.
Once that was dry I took some black paint and painted the underside of top cover and the case. Ill let them dry over night and start work again tomorrow.
Thanx for viewing.
