ok, so I couldn't wait.. here's progress pics on the HDD enclosure. Yes, instead of buying actuall 1/8" tape, I measured and cut it myself. Probably won't be straight, but I'm thinking about putting a black fade on top of it if it doesn't come out right. 1 more coat and we'll see.
Update time again.. Here's the ext HDD enclosure. No clear on it as of yet. I think I'll only put 2 very light coats on, just for a little protection. I wasn't going for a very smooth finish like the mouse, and what the case will eventually have, but I'll probably go over it with 600 before the clear. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
crispy colours mate, keep up the good work!
That mouse is pretty sweet lookn man, I have about 1,000 of them, i get em for free from work lol. The HDD also looks decent
Not much progress to report over the last couple of days. I've been waiting for the paint on the ext HDD to cure before giving it a light sanding with 600 and then I'll put down a couple light coats of clear. I started working on adding another blue LED to the mouse yesterday.
Nice project looks great. You're on track for this unit. Did you ever or are now serving in the UncleSamsMisguidedChildren (you know sub division of the Navy ... LOL).
I served 10 years in the Navy on submarines. Yep a bubble head.
Are you going to use one of the emblems from the hat on your case?
Really looking forward to your developements.
Just remember fly boys... Confucius say there are more Airplanes in the ocean then Submarines in the sky.
The last time I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, it was another train headed towards me.
Yes, we are the MENS dept. lol.. I served from Sept 94 until March 2000. Obviously, I loved every minute I served, otherwise, I wouldn't be doing this mod.. it would probably be something else. Back on the first page is a 3d model of what the case will look like when it's complete. Been trying for 2 weeks to get over to my Dad's shop to get the rest of the case and start painting panels and change over some LED's in the front panel. Work schedules have been conflicting though. Maybe this week.
Sure man.. I'll take a new mobo, proc, and an 8800gtx.. lol Seriously, I think I'm ok for now. You're right though, I do need more time, and I need to get away from this job that is sucking up all of my IQ, and wasting my time and skills. Hopefully that will change soon though.
