How long did that take?

Well again thanks you know there was about 32 hours of actual work in the project . But, there was about 45 to 50 hours just spent thinking about the project, planning the little details. you see when I turned the front of the case sideways I also moved it forward to 2 inches to insure plenty of room for roms. That was easy at the top of the case since I just built a whole new one, But, at the bottom of the case I decided to fill in the 2in. x 8 1/2 in. void with metal i had from the pieces I already had cut out. (The window). Then I had to have some pieces to build the lip back up where the cover would go back on. Remember that right side cover is now the rear of the case. Well I had done a job customizing some metal legged bar stoolls for a guy and as luck would have it. the square pieces from it were the exact same size as the bent lip of the case. Here is a pic. You will see the pieces I used and also where I had to fill the back corner in. When I was done I used a flap disc in a 4 1/2 grinder where it was easy to get at.In the hard to reach areas I used a small flap disc on a die grinder ( air powered dremel) I came out great!! didn't have to use bondo to get it perfectly smooth. Her are a couple pics.

Here it is all back together. Beofre it was fully danded out.

Another thing that condumed time was the mount for the water tank. Easy,just time consuming. I had some pipe but it was all too big so I cut out an inch section of it, squeezed it back to gether in the vice. then I welded it. smoothed the weld out and used the vice and a small ball pin hammer to make the rings perfectly round again.

There were many small things to do to add up to the finished product. I llike little details. the legs took time to make. again I had some old oil stove plumbing around that was just the right size. So I cut legs out of it and tapped them with 1/2 in stndard course threads. I cut the heads off some 1/2 in bolts and wellded them onto my leg brackets .Then I was able to just screw the legs on. it also made them adjustable. As I said the work was easy. the thinking was sometimes pretty intense.
I like putting my insignia in my cases

Coming in the Spring 2005.......

I think you was a bit rude, 'cos tastes aren't the same for each people, I don't like it either but perhaps you don't like metal bands and I really hate RAP songs, and you are not seeing me advertising this everywhere, as I said tastes is for each people, if you don't like it don't see it, hell you can even unsubscribe from this thread

Well, my first message here.

Really nothing xtreme with this case, it's just for 24/7 use quiet "workhorse". Vertical panels are sealed so the air flows from the bottom to the top of the case, through rad.

**[G.N.U.]Fragman** · 02-21-2005, 06:39 PM

just a Sunbeam acrylic case with some blueled fans and some green UV cable sleeving ......next project is a aluminium case made from a suitcase...with a tft monitor in the top............

**tinker77** · 02-22-2005, 05:52 PM
