    @Ryoken: Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't have the space for a wheel. And the solution with the hose works great. Nearly no friction.

    Well, last day of my 4 days-long weekend. One more update for all of you. Thank you verry much for your comments!

    What I forgot to post last time: Improvement of the hinges with some felt to reduce friction when turning:


    Today I spent my time with arranging the hardware inside the lower hemisphere and with a cable guide for the MoBo cables. First I drew the outlines on the baseplate and experimented with some cardboard.

    Then I copied the form from the cardboard onto some wood and cut it out.

    (Yes, needed some coffee )
    Glueing the first parts together

    It gets more and more complicated to fix that thing in the vice. You can see the holes for the cables. I made them big enough to fit the power connector, because I dont like the idea of soldering all those cables if i remove the connector...

    Here you see some shots of the cable guide in beta stadium:


    It will cover the big holes.


    After some filing it looks quite good. I will smooth it out with some Bondo of course.


    And in place:



    And from the inside:

    Now to the hardware part:

    First of all, I expanded the space for the DVD because the cables from the MoBo have to fit inbetween the baseplate and the DVD.


    Things fit better, than I expected. In the original plans, the harddrive was fixed parallel to the DVD. But I figured it fits better in a 90deg angle.
    Here are some shots of the hardware layers:

    Baeplate and spacers (missing in picture):

    DVD and spacers:

    Above the DVD I glued in a piece of wood to carry the Harddrive.

    Harddrive and spacers:

    And the power supply. Its ventilation will suck air over the Harddrive.

    And finaly the lower hemisphere:


    IT FITS!

    All hardware I play with is old stuff and not the parts that will be built in. In my plans I had to cut a piece of the lower hemisphere away for the power supply. With the new arrangement I perhaps only have to add some holes for the airflow Perhaps I should add: The baseplate lies upside down in the pics. The hardware will hang under the MoBo...

    Well, this weekend I could work a lot and I think 50% of the work are done. I'm really looking forward to buy the rest of my watercooling stuff. But I think I will first paint some parts and make some good pictures to send to some firms. Perhaps I can get a sponsor or two for the expensive parts. That would be verry nice, because my budgets gets lower and lower...

    I hope you write some more comments, questions or suggestions.
    See you soon!
