Tron you say? Hmmmm.... well, maybe...Originally Posted by UrbanSmooth
I sense much Tron within this build.
Update time.
As I mentioned before, all metal work is done.
I started to dismantle the case and clean it up with high grade sand paper before I send it to powder coat place.
Let's see what has happened in last month.
Here is how it looked last time.
Top panels are ready, only need to screw them down.
Holes drilled in first piece.
Then acrylic piece measured and drilled.
Second piece was straight forward, same steps here...
...and all screwed down. Job done
Top panel ready to go, still need a hole for fillport....
Now here... slight change in mounting of front panel. I really didn't like the way it was done in first place - M3 thin screws going through the front alu, acrylic, then front panel.. too many layers and hard to find a hole in almost 30mm thick front panel.
So I added M4 threaded inserts to those acrylic mounting blocks and decided that front panel will be screwed from the sides! Brilliant!
I tried out dvd to see how it aligns.. looks perfect to me...
...and front covering bit.. will be glued at the end.
Now the controller - here is how it's gonna be mounted.
It sticks out too much, so I trimmed it a bit to make sure it will fit in the radiator cage.
Now these little beauties...
Seriously, those feet are so sweet I'm not gonna powder coat them. I will keep them clear, cause the shine so nicely
Yes... I like feet... :eeek:
Drilled and mounted.
I tell you, fast mounting cutting wheels are bless....
I had to make some small gaps for dvd cables on the top of that plate.
I also had to make these - small acrylic blocks with threaded inserts for mounting top panel.
Case frame drilled and ready for mounting...
That is it for now. Next week it will be all packed and sent to Tom in ChilledPC for powder coating goodness...
Now, I still don't know where I'm going to mount power switch !!!:waah:
Any ideas ???? :worried:
