    Hellmouth being rebuilt while my current one is being painted. At the rate I am going I do not know when I will rebuild the Danger Den double-wide tower. I have a clinic server to build (wood DD box), the wall-mounted Nvidia rig, and now I have to do a new rig for a museum display I am working on.

    When I saw your current avatar featured in CPU, I was stunned. I wish I had talent like what I see around here.

    Nice! Looks like you could use a silvercoild in the tube between those top mosfets. It appears to be a touch too much bend from the camera angle.

    Wow...that's a crapload of RAM...wow!

    I like the mascot...

    trying to add some pizazz. Going to have modders' mesh hexx style on the bottom over a layer of ruby red mirrored acrylic. Here is what I did for the mesh to go with the Hellmouth design:

    Here is the artwork I used (by Nitemayer at PDXLAN forums):




    I had to the paint the mesh UV Orange then use the stencil to color the black . . .why? Because I am a special needs modder. Had to cut the picture into quarters to print it so I took a shortcut and just used a top and bottom half them mirrored them . . . .not perfect but I have to have this done by Friday so no time to redo it now

    For the bottom I elevated the floor a tad so I can run some wiring underneath. I also made a pump platform.

    This is red with mirror backing. I also have one way red mirror which I will probably use to make a window in the hole where the front of my phase change unit normally resides.

    sweet.. now i got to bug gene about it
    i wonder what it would look like with a blasted front.
    since the backing has a mirror reflection and the
    front is clear enough to show that through

    sorry thinking out loud.

    good luck with the dead line

    I have been planning on having rastering done on this the back side stuff for years . . . .plan to light it up from behind . . . ., it would look good rastered on the front as well
