    OK

    As much as I hate making non-pic posts, I wanted to give you guys a quick update. I got all the components installed into BSG, and have been installing the OS and games to get ready for this weekend. I ran into a couple snags with the dvd drive and front panel though. First, the drive that I so meticulously added a window to, doesn't work. It powers up and takes a disc, but can't get it mounted successfully so it spits it back out. As I feared, that small ring I glued back onto the plexi was off just enough to keep the disc from seating correctly. Fortunately, I purchased a backup drive for just such an emergency, so I was still able to load software.
    Then, when it came time to put the drive back into the front panel, I neglected to allow for cable clearance in the back. The IDE adapter took more room than I expected, so the cable hits part of the paneling. The solution was to cut away the interfering part, and make a box to cover it. So that is what I did last night.

    I should be able to put it all together tonight and take some pics. However, I am leaving early in the AM tomorrow, so I don't know if I can post before then (I still have to pack!).

    Well, here are the primed pics as promised:







    And here it is all thrown together. It actually doesn't look to bad in primer!


    So like I said, I'm by no means done with this case. Still got tons of work yet before I can call this thing done.
    But building it up like this really helped to point out some problematic areas that will need to be addressed.
    It's good to find out about those now, than during the final assembly.

    Anyways, I've got a long drive ahead of me tomorrow, so I'm off to bed. Will post pics of the lan when I get a chance.

    I agree, that is beautiful! And it does look pretty good in primer now that you mention it.

    Well, the LAN was great. Had a great time, got a lot of good comments and feedback (and a few new contacts for hardware! )
    Here are a couple shots, but after looking at these pics, they really dont' offer up much more than the pics i took before I left for the lan lol. But here you go:





    I think my next task while it's up and running will be getting the lcd's hooked up and working.
