Well today I started out working on the drive cage and thought about working on the custom panels. I was using a 1 " chisel when I switched hands and put the sharp thingy in my left hand. Well I paid for that mistake. So after my trip to the emergency room I decided to work on the drive cage again.

I took a small drill bit to make a hole in the metal flange of the drive cage and a small needle bit to open a hole in the cherry wood. I drove in brass nails to hold the drive cage in place.

After routing my trim on the router table using the smallest cove bit (in keeping with the rest of the wood trim) I began to trim out the drive cage.

From the picture you can see a new trim piece on the side of the case. I later sanded that smooth and it looks great. Its to support the hinges on the raised panel door.

Here you can see a rabbet cut in the side of the case. That is to hold smoked plexiglas panels on both sides.

You can also see more trim on the side of the drive cage.

Things are beginning to look up on this log.

Proper clearance on the buttons so everything is good

Until the batteries went dead on the camera. As soon as they charge I will have more pictures.... LOL

Well here is the picture of the front of the unit with the trim in place.

And here is a picture of the new brace behind the hinges (looked really bad in the earlier pic LOL)

This is such a sweet looking mod. I can't wait to see it all finished.

Well here is the monitoring unit I plan to use. It will bring the USB ports to the front along with the firewire. There is a temperature display to watch the CPU. And there are 2 fan controls.

Things are really looking good. Dark Stain will make this look better.

I intend once I have all the drives and everything mounted to fill in that spot between the cd and floppy cage, otherwise it would look unfinished.
