Case Mod - In Progress Official "John Hanlon Fund Raiser" PC Build (Thank you Mach!)

@Kayin - It goes into a plastic bottle that goes in the recycle bin. Let the Chinese sort out what to do with it.
@John - I always torched the stuff and welded with it.
@I do goggles! Honest! I had to hold up a board to keep the stuff from covering them.

 

a side window with the names of the builders would be pretty cool...
or at least the names painted/etched on the mobo side panel (either on the inside or outside)

whoever ends up owning this will be very happy because they will be providing support for someone who deserves it.

 

I would rather it be kept clean or have something patriotic on it . . .we all get recognition from other ventures I think. lets keep this focus on John

 

Yeah, no names, no logos. It would appeal to a wider group of potential buyers that way.

...Besides, "cheapskate" is considered an insult in some parts. Imagine *your name -cheapskate, etc.



-Milled the copper baseplate the other day. I had a little problem with cuttings building up on the corners. It made the bit dig into the corners and I had to file rough bits out.

-The fly cutter pass wasn't what I hoped it would be either. I had to lapp that line out of the middle.

-Here's what I have after a lot of 300 grit sanding. A whopping 10.5 ounces of copper.

-Next I have to mount it to this sucker, and set up the slitting saw.

 

Bill any update on the case paint? I want to paint parts to match and get tubing and such ready as well as fittings

 

Not as bad as getting confused with something the cat coughs up though

 

Quite the secrecy here. I've worked on Government projects with more leaks than this.

Just sayin.

No credit needed for me I just reached out, the companies deserve it more they donated

 

Fantastic news for once again and is really nice to see the modding and pc communities contributing to such a great cause!

 

You really have been busy.

 

Cheaps, How thick is that copper plate?

john

 

this is so nice to do !

Go on please love watching it! gogogo!

 

John, you're very lucky. Talk about the royal treatment!

 

I kinda figured this would happen, guess theres no need for my grill or fans now.

 

The offer is appreciated. Props to all who have stepped up to this.

With all the languages I can speak/and or read there are no words.

@John - 1/4" x 3" x 3". The big footprint means more surface area to wet.
@Furball - Don't sweat it, man. This project is pretty chaotic. There may still be something you can do.
@rchiileea - You helped, you get thanked.

 

Cheaps if you're just recycling that I have a great use for it (as glue) here for the project I'm posting tomorrow. I'll show everyone a new use for it.
