Incredible work with the file, anyone who's used it before knows it is no easy task and your results are pretty astounding.

*drools*
Nice blocks and really good attention to detail with the file. How long did it take you to file it to perfection like that???
thanks for the update BTW... still checking everyday!
Wow, great mod
matey :)
great update! really nice cut :up:
Thanks Weev...Let's see...Quote:

So I reckon that counts as 1 step.
Haven't figured out yet how many steps altogether before powdercoating, but I'd be one step closer.
Aye, main man Callen...it certainly is about time.Quote:

Let's chat.
Pleasure's mine, shazza. :up:Quote:

If anything I hope I offered some kind of assistance in helping you decide which tool that's best suited for you - router or not.
Thanks wez :up: Much luck to you in getting your last mcw60. That EK Supreme Tweaked red block still looks amazing to me.Quote:

They guided the RotoZip to make the holes on the midplate back in October:

We'll see how that turns out.

Cheers Vinas...if memory serves, it took roughly about thirty minutes altogether. Thanks for your continued support!Quote:

Thanks for all the comments all! More updates to come.
killin' me ... this is one build log where one does not want to miss the fine print. You boys with your routers and Roto-zippers are sure raising the bar (speaking of which - :toast: )Quote:
Reason: VOWEL MOVEMENT: i before e except after c
I was hesitant in posting pics or an update showing progress on the remaining cuts left to be made on me midplate, because frankly they were rather boring.
But it's Valentine's Day morning, pandora.com is nailing it by playing 3 songs in a row that I actually like, and the smell of bacon is in the air.
So what the hey, I say.
Furthermore, I had a little visitor inspecting my work and the shots I took of her came out pretty decent.
This is the hole for the wires of the components from the pedestal to pass through. It's name is Mini-Me.
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QLiEm5wyerY/S3...0/IMG_4825.jpg
Although Mini-Me's edges came out smooth, I'll still be outfitting it with a C-CHannel (or is it a U-Channel?) edge molding for extra protection of the wires.
Hole had to be big enough for a 4-pin molex to fit through:

It will be eventually concealed by the center aluminum bar that supports the mobo tray:

My pet bearded dragon is scratching and jumping inside her tank. So I decided to give her an up close and personal look at the latest adventures of midplate mayhem.
If you were to ask me, she looks like she's smiling. I'll be bold enough to say that it's a smile of approval.
Meet Lilly, everybody!!
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QLiEm5wyerY/S3...0/IMG_4837.jpg
Inspecting. Smiling. Approving.
In. That. Order. :D
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QLiEm5wyerY/S3...0/IMG_4842.jpg

Very cool pet--great pics of her! And I think, like everyone, I'm excited to see this build come together. A lot of detail going into this one.

It's an awesome feeling to know that I'm giving something back to the community from where I get my knowledge and inspiration from. Thank you for saying so, melle!! :up:Quote:

Here's a shot of her basking in her terrarium I took yesterday.
She's still isn't full-grown, but she's a lot bigger.

Ahoy, Wez....It looks to be just over 23 inches:Quote:

Now that your surfing limitless, we're going to be seeing a project from you, right? Can't wait!
***********************************************
After seeing James's (dingdong555) Hulk build, I had to purchase myself one of IandH's new res.
It's truly a beautiful, well-made piece of craftmanship.
The spring load holders design is ingenious:

Thanks for checking in all! More soon...
that is an awesome res its so clean :D
after seeing your work.
I think i need to buy dslr camera too if I ever built my own water cooled pc so people could enough nice quality photos
The cut of Dragon that I did with my dremel for my project very similar to its :D

lol'd at the Pirate ring on your finger. :rofl:
Great work here man, really interested in its out come!

Avast, sir Captain.
It appears there is a nasty wedging-effect with your video cards... They look like they are being spread apart and causing stress on themselves and PCI-e slots because of that BP connector.
I am referring to the picture of the pipe.
Nice idea with the cable routing, btw. Clean, efficient, and you can cut holes as needed if cables need to chill in the middle of the case for no discernible reason!
That's the spirit Rick! Beautiful reservoir!!! Will suit your build amazingly!
She's a freaking awesome pet!
Nice res, those clamps look really nice. Are they the spring loaded clamps?
Lilly is cool too. Looks like she is waiting for dinner to pop out of the mini-me hole.
I see what you mean Wezly about the cards.
I am not sure if it is just the angle of the photo or if the BP fitting are holding the cards apart more that they should.
But arr, is having a "nasty wedging-effect with your video cards", anything like having a wedgie while riding your bike down the freeway ( in between all the cars) during peak hour? :rofl:
As for my project, that part is really bugen me.
I can say that, I have gotten quite a few of my parts together already.
In fact, I thought I had nealy gotten all my ducks lined up, when those damm birds got wise and moved the goal post on me. :rolleyes:
So now I find myself waiting on the release date for the new mobo I want.
Also before I can really start putting my rig together I first need to build a desk in the front room for the PCs, plus to add to everything we have just started
to getting quotes in on re-doing the kitchen and the floors throughout the house,(not the bedrooms but)
So looks like it might be best to hold off a bit longer, Grrrrr :rolleyes:
Just as well I have most of my parts but, hay. :ROTF: :up:
I will give you the heads up when it all happens mate. :yepp:
