that is an awesome res its so clean

Aye, Melle, IandH doth bring cleanliness to the game

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

Coolness marx Photography is just a hobby of mine. Modding makes photography fun and sometimes photography can make modding fun.

I've seen brilliant photos taken with point-and-shoots and even camera phones.

The cut of Dragon that I did with my dremel for my project very similar to its ...

That's facinating work Ulysses!

lol'd at the Pirate ring on your finger.

Great work here man, really interested in its out come!

Thanks, vista! (I can't wait either.)
I'll try to keep it interesting as we near the horizon.

Avast, sir Captain.

It appears there is a nasty wedging-effect with your video cards...

Hi Wez! Good eye, me hearty. Aye. It is indeed nasty. It much worse looking in pics than in RL, but there definitely is a wedgie situation going on there.

Tis a shame too. Took me 3 days to rattle can that d-plug black and all.

I've pulled the cards out and have ordered a shorter BP Black Matte d-plug in hopes to relieve said wedgie:

That's the spirit Rick! Beautiful reservoir!!! Will suit your build amazingly!

She's a freaking awesome pet!

Thank for turning me on to those, James

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.

Thanks, Vinas! Yes, those are indeed the spring loaded clamps. Very solid design!

...
...looks like it might be best to hold off a bit longer, Grrrrr

I know about starting a build only once you're ready. I've saved some popcorn when it's time for the Graeme show.

What did you expect to see? After all, he is a pirate captain. That's his bling, he has got to show some of it to us to look intimidating .

The build already looked amazing, but your pet made it so much more awesome .

Thanks Alexandr0s I'm hardly the intimidating type; and neither is me bling. When Lilly is hungry on the other hand...lolz

...I wanted to ask why you didn't use the Rotozip to do you rectangular cutouts. Obviously, they came out great with the big router- is this type of cut beyond the RZ's capabilities? ...

So yes, shazza...

Me easy answer: Because I'm not as gifted as Charles.

The longer answer: A straight cut is completely within the capabilities of the RZ, with the right bit, it can even route fancy cutouts, dovetails, slots, etc.
I found that there are things the router can't do that that the RZ can. (Precise engraving for one. I heard its like maneuvering a jet airplane around a go-kart track).

Some may find cutting with the RZ easier to use since you can plunge into the work piece making the start of a cut and continuing your cut from there. The RZ can cut smaller pieces much easier since the footprint of the RZ is generally smaller than base of most routers.


Yes. How nice for you. But that doesn't answer my question, big mouth:

• Since he already has a router and purchasing a rotozip wasn't worth the cost of your marriage (I know you jest), I thought I'd share my adventures in making a straight cut using one.
• I was already working on routing acrylic, so it was just a matter of swapping out the bit for the straight cut using Zsa Zsa (the metal straight cutting bit).
• I lost my metal cutting XBit for the Rotozip. It was here somewhere. And like Mum says, "What? It didn't just grows legs and WALK out of here." referring to a pen she lost.

So my apologies Shazza. Didn't mean to cause any confusion. Using the router wasn't really purely out of personal preference but a little out of personal laziness.
It was also to show you what you can do given the tool you - oops sorry - hubby owns.

One more hole to go. I may look in my garage in one of those boxes I have yet to unpack and see if I can find the RZ cutting bit.

For now TIVO over a cold one wins.

Updates soon!
