the reason i stopped doing this project, has been 'left by the road-side' i.e. i dumped her....:cool:

ive not done that much, as ive been trying to have as much fun as possible, but ive done a little bit over the last few days, which i'll post in a couple of minutes..:)

there should be lots of big/little updates over the next couple of weeks or so.......:D

Nice to see your doing something with it now. :)

What is that peice of plastic you cut out, going to be used for? It looks a bit like a fan holder, but I'm not sure...

......Anyway, I was getting all the other 'bits' ordered when i sorta realised i can't afford half of it.... So now, there is no aquatube ect. but i still ordered the barbs, however, i think i forgot to order the 8/10mm tubing :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:
So, if i have, i'll have to go back to using my 1/2" ID tubing.... anyway im gonna get some more spray paint and filler to use on the front drivebays.....

but yesterday....::

I wanted the front door to look plain, so i wanted to get rid of the holes that show the HDD and Power LEDs.. (these are gonna be hooked up the LED's on some vandal switches -|- the Power one will go on the power switch -|- the HDD activity will go on the LED on the CC on off Vandal.....)

PA230115.jpg


Because there are no LED's, i started sanding off the small images, and will dremel out the rest of the raised holes this afternoon....

PA240120.jpg


I want the main front to look slightly plain, but flat and clean.... Im gopping to eventually get a small temp read-out to go next to the switches (which should be here tommorow morning......

PA240122.jpg

hush..........:D

im not fussed if the hardware is old...

i'll keep it for a while, get a mid range DX10 card and 2Gb of RAM eventually....

Im off to go sanding again now, then when my other package with the various cables and fans come, i can start putting it together....
Im gonna keep the inside of th case as it is for now, then may take it all out and get it painted at school....

@ Rambo...:: It was taken by my Brother....
