Ok,... so I wasn't able to get the fans installed today. I forgot how much of a pain in the @#$ cutting holes in aluminum is, took a bit longer then I wanted. I'll finish it in the morning. Here are my daily pics,...

Marking my bottom panels for fan placements,... or the holes. I used my old compass with and exacto kinfe
HOLE SAW! HOLE SAW! HOLE SAW!
I have shinny aluminum boobies.
One method of cutting out the holes,...

I also tried cutting out a hole as one piece using the dremel. I thought it would be easier. It wasn't. Cutting out holes suck. Oh well.

Going to Home Depot.
Took a picture of this dork wearing dirty unfashionable overalls,... I think he was going ot Home Depot
Ok, we're here,...
Got my modding coffee.
Got my package today with some small computer stuff inside.
I ordered some more uv red sleeving today and instead I got red sleeving. Now,... the thing is that the last order of uv red I got this other stuff that looks very orange. I know that uv red is a cross between orange and red but this stuf looks orange to me. What do you guyz think? I am goign to to send back all of it and they will send back 40' of UV RED.
After I got the fans installed I wasnt able to do anymore work on the project so thats why there are no project pics. Tomorrow morning I will start on grinding away the side panels and even cut out the windows for those side panels. Anyways,... till then. OH check this out,... my gurl said something funny the other day. She is looking to get a desk for herself. Now we live together in her parents housse. Space is very limited. Out of frustration she asked me "why do we have to have two computers?". LOL!!! I was like,... "what are you asking me? I dont understand your question?" She's like "why can't we just have one computer and just share.". I was like "WHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!" Do you think I should tell her now or later that I will be building another low end computer right after this one? LOL. I love my gurl.

Geeez,... I dont feel like I got anything done today. I woke up kinda late, 10am, an then I had to run some errands but still,... I got several hours in and I was only able to grind down the side panels for one housing. I still haev to hand file that housing to its finish for sanding. I originally was goign to use a hand grinder for the whole thing until I realized that it would take foooooor everrrrr. So I broke out the jig saw and started cutting off as much as possible and then grinding the rest. Well,... tomorrow moring I am goign to start the other housing and hopefully I will get the hand file some. Here are the daily pics,...
Huuuuuuuuuh,... back in the garage.
Breaking out the big guns today. This tool freaks me out!
After some grinding and jig sawing,...
Some more grinding and jig sawing,...
More,...
Finished,... grinding and jig sawing. Time for the good old flat bastard :shock:
Do you guyz know of anyone on this site that works on thier project everyday other then me?

Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
Ok,... here's what I got done today.
Now thats perfection
Check out how close the width and length are to the case. It's goign to to look like an extension of the case.
What do you guyz think about the lower profile or height? I cut the height down by an inch. I made that last two 4.5" for a reason. The reason being to help rid of the fans center dead spot. The extra room between the rads and the fans allowed for a little bit of turbulance(sp?) to help get air to the entire rad surface. But I didnt think it would be all that noticeable if I knocked out an inch. There about a half inch bewteen the fans now. Let me know what you think. This is probably it for the day seeing I have to go get my gurl from work now and then I will probably spend some time with her. So tomorrow morning this will continue. Till then,... night.
