Excellent finished product voigts. :up: :clap:
Beautiful finished product, and great photos. You really did a nice job fitting everything in there, not to mention all the detail with the scroll work.
Voigts: hmm, something for daughter? How about something pseudo-wooden-laptop (but not mobile per se, just look-a-like) - as in bottom part with normal keyboard made in (+maybe some easy to access usb ports and dvd drive), and top part - wooden frame arround normal LCD screen and some mini itx pc behind it?
Though then again, your stuff looks good in our eyes with it's retro-ism, but will it fit for younger generation as well? :/ I somehow fail to imagine your works not wooden natural colored but in some bright artificial colors :/
Probably first you have to spy for your daughter tastes, especially related to current furniture in her room :)
Though then again maybe some embossed nice flower decoration patterns on surfaces might help.
Gary,
I am somewhat at a loss for words. I must say that your woodworking alone is pure art and highly appreciated, at least from me. It is simply beautiful!
How about a special commission for me? A super computer in an armoire?
Rocky

The woodwork and overall finish is spot-on, even the grain in the front buttons looks like it lines up! That's what you call attention to detail.
Well done on another stellar build sir :up:.
Thank you Callen. I used a left over piece of the front panel to make the buttons so that the grain would line up as closely as possible. I didn't want them to stand out which they would if I used dowel rod. I'm glad you noticed. Most people probably wouldn't even notice.Quote:

It was good idea/planning to save the same piece of wood :up:. You put a lot of thought into this project :yepp:.
I won't be working on my build any time soon.
For the past 6 months I've been working on the murderMod stuff full time with Charles.
It's been an awesome learning experience! I just wish we could get all the gear we've been working on out sooner...
So with everything that's going on, it doesn't look like i'll be finishing that project.
It was fun while it lasted though :D.
just incredible :)
I didn't know you are working with Charles H. That must be a lot of fun. How did you manage to get into that?Quote:

So do you have any design ideas for your daughter's case?? You should do a poll :D
*drools*
Love the case! So much intricate scrollwork :O.
And yeah, maybe a poll for your daughter's case would be awesome :P.

As I've mentioned before, the deal we have is that I can make anything I want to as long as it fits in our desks and "looks nice," which basically means she has to like it. :yepp:Quote:

Something like this:
-Style:...
-Material:...
-Color:...
-Size:...
-etc...
Then you pick the one you like best. It's not really a poll, but you have some more freedom to play with, and we'll still feel like we contributed :p:.
CPU Magazine
I got some tremendous news this week. I was referred to submit project Quintessence to CPU magazine for consideration, and it has been chosen to be on the cover and in a featured article! Needless to say, I am shocked, humbled, and stoked! I'm not sure of the exact publishing date, but I'll post back here once it is online.
Congratulations and a well deserved honor!
Awesome, that's great to hear! Congratz ;).
That is fantastic news about the CPU cover, Gary - as everyone has said, it's well deserved and it's great to see you get the recognition you deserve.
Lol, just noticed this: This is one of the first cases I've seen so far where the actual case looks better than the render, nice job :rofl:!
