Scratch Build – In Progress Project Griggles (formerly Barry White) - on the back burner for a while

So freggin proud of you girl. Looking good so far

 

Looking good.

Giving me some ideas for an ITX build I'm thinking of building.

 

Aw, lookit the pretty braiding.

Similar to what I was doing just the other day when my solder station disintegrated. I'm talking about tinning and soldering wires, not the fancy braiding/plaiting thingy.

Tidy looking job, Carrie, keep up the good work.

 

Yaaaa Update's at last looking good Carrie

 

Looking very good Carrie

 

He talked me in to dylans build, got a lot toanswer to this bloke has

Hahahahaha pay back time ..Oh yeah baby !!!

 

Thank you Mark and Chris

Thanks yehbaby, glad to be of service

**** taker There is method to the madness, as you'll see later on

Started your new scratch build yet?

Yes he does and you need to get on with Dylan's mod!

 

Don't know what you mean

 

OMG, who the hell gave Caz power tools?!?

Good work girl, keep it up.

 

Watch out, Dan, I have access to an air compressor and brad gun too

 

You know I love it when you talk dirty Caz.

 

Jeff's school of lighting opens this September.. <rolls eyes>

 

Dan, I'd call you a perv but I know that'd make your day so I'm not going to

I'm going to ruin your day too, Dave. No LEDs in this one (apart from power/hdd activity). I'll refer you to the OP:

Strangely enough my lounge doesn't resemble a fairground

 

Time to set up and test the hardware

Remember that awful yellow cooler fan?


Now it looks like this, a nice metallic blue


So, next step to put the basic rig together:


With Win7 64bit installed and boot timing from shorting the power leads to Googling in 30 seconds (it's only a sata 3Gb/s boot drive ) it's now up and running


But not for long I thought

I put it together on the coffee table that I'd moved near the TV/AV amp to test and forgot all about it. Later on I sat down on the couch and pulled the coffee table back to its usual position only to hear an almighty crash as the mobo tray, psu and blu-ray drive all dropped to the floor which is where it remains

Still works though

Now, I defy you to spot the msata boot drive without looking at the manual!

 

Yay, more updates.

I'm loving how tiny those ITX boards look


Edit: That metallic blue looks fantastic. Would you paint the Zotac fan to match?

Your lucky nothing broke there

 

I know where it is but I'm not saying

 

So...with a project named 'Barry White', I assume the finished product will be getting panties wet wherever it goes

 

Subtle and discreet... Hmmm Ah ha you mean like Blackpool main Prom? ) Subtle and preeedy.. ooooh LED's ... go on .. have some mood lighting installed

 

Compared to fluxtatic, you are, sweetie

I have mood lighting in my lounge already if/when I want to use it Mind you I suppose it depends on your mood

 

Finally, the case is beginning to take shape

Thanks to the bench saw (and drill) I now have a 6mm step in base of the sides to mount the vented case base, and still have all my fingers and thumbs



Damn it brad guns can be fun



and with some gorilla glue ...



We have a clamped box



I've got to leave that to set off for a few days so I'm off to have some fun with my storage solution now
