Hey thanks---I'm having fun with this one so far

Who wouldn't be?
It'd be interesting if you could get some analog gauges programmed to act like the gauges in the real cockpit...I know they make gauges that work with serial ports, maybe USB?

Looking great paul

It just struck me that this is probably the least stealthy "stealth" object ever made. Everyone on the forums will be watching this worklog.

Great work as always CS

Just a quick question are those threads created with a nutsert tool? Are you using a metric tool for the motherboard standoffs?

I've got a metric nutsert tool which is excellent, its only got metric heads though.

Owwie--nutsert sounds somewhat painful--lol..actually the mobo standoffs are 6/32, and the rest of the build is 8 and 10/32

Good to see you here Gordy!..I hope you share your creations with the people here when you get the time

[Gordy]

I will do :Smile: Not done much of late been working on my sgi 02 case today.

Nutserts are great, you can make threads in anything :BigGrin:

With the side structures completed, its time to build the top section that houses the mobo and graphics cards. With the board in place and the dual 6800 cards installed, I can take measurements and begin to plot out the sections on paper before cutting them from .060 styrene. :Smile:
