[Slatter]

[hogan]

you still woking on the lian li?

there doesn't seem to be much left of the lan li, but it still is the lan li.

wonder if he'll ever get around to playing that half life 2 he had when he started.

I'm late! Posting this update crazy late. Fire me.

More fitting and positioning.

Trying to make sure everything is straight. Everything is slightly bend out of shape. Nothing really noticable but when you put it all together is might just end up way out of shape. So I have to figure out what needs adjusting.

You see the lip of aluminum on the floor of the case. I need to avoid that when making my brackets for mounting the hdd cage.

So far everything looks straight as hell.

There the lip of aluminum in the back. Argh.

Wham. Brackets. How do they look? Ok right? How you like this pic? Not bad for taking it using my mouth! LOL. Actually blue-fusion stopped by to hang for a bit.

Very nice.

My boy blue-fusion.

He'll be stoppin by more often,...

Ok. finished the brackets and riveted them. That looks cool.

Inside the case. Fits ever so snug. I love it.l

The holes I drilled for the two rear brackets.

Of course! Just my luck! I knew I was going to drill through this wheel thing but damn! I couldnt drill completely though it,... I had to drill the damn edge! ARGH! It's ok. I can fix this.

WHA LA! Nothing a round bastard(file) couldnt fix.

OH YEA. Thats so nice.

Ok! Everything is in place! All rivets in but not fastened. Everything fits perfectly! HOT!

Rivets under the case.

Side shots.

Cut out the fan box hole using the good ole dremel.

This is where I left off. I'm going back today to work on this.

Who else goes ape-**** worrying about the underside of their case? You know what's on the bottom of my damn case? Newspaper. Cos i painted it on newspaper and it got stuck.

Dude, you shame me.

Dude you rock. LOL. I didn't really go ape-****, kinda. Wait till you see what I made for that hole! I have to see if I can update when I get home. I don't have a real connetion at the apartment right now. My roommate is switching to DSL and disconnected the cable. I'm on a wireless g card

[tribaloverkill]

HELLO! HI! My name is tribalOVERKILL! How you doing on this lovely day!

Fan box cover complete! With spring bolt fastener thingies!

I had to make them flex like this because I couldnt get the cover in with the regular stiff bolt thingies. These are much cooler anyways. The cover is actually pretty easy to install and remove!

Installed. I am hoping they make bolts like this one with a nicer head. A hex head maybe.

Underside looking in,...

Now I need to dress up that hole. Here's something I was playing around with,...

[tribaloverkill]

So the little something I was playing around with before turned out to be ehhhh. So,.....

Mar-07-2007 (Blackout)

I started with this,...

Dremeled some grooves for easy bending.

Tape off.

WHAM! The reason I say "WHAM!" or whenever you see "WHAM!", this means that I forgot to take photo's. I get so lost in my work that I forget. Sorry. Here it is! How hot is that! there is something I am not liking about it,... I can make this look better but i'm not because it's small and stupid and I have tons of more stuff to do to finihs this case sooooo moving on.

Hole before,...

Hole after,...

Now what about the underside of the hole?

You understand where I'm going here?

How about now?

And now?

How about now?

And now?

What about now?

Now?
