Thanks for the comments Guys! (and Gal)


I know its been a while but I assure you stuff is going on. For one, we're waiting on LC parts. Ok, that's not really stuff going on per se. There is the final version of the lightbox being made; oh, and the res mount prototype - we hope to have that Friday. Another thing we still need to figure out is how to mount the 4 SSDs Daniel is planning to install. There are a few multiple drive enclosures on the market but availability seems to be an issue. The goal is to incorporate the SSDs into the existing drive cage up front. Perhaps something will have to be designed and fabricated for this purpose.

Powder coating has been done and I was anxious to assemble Daniel's PLED mount and make sure there were no unwelcome surprises. Fortunately, it all went together perfectly which of course was a big relief.

What's an update without pics...

Daniel, I'd like to say it was a stunt double I was holding over the edge but I'm afraid it was yours. Now that I think about it, had my hand spazzed out or a horny Seagull flew by and spooked me, it would have fallen 300 feet. Probably not the smartest thing to do but I'm pleased to report that it is now safe and well protected - wrapped in a blanket of foam. No more shenanigans... promise.


Thanks for looking in.
