Did you happen to start with a dull saw? I know it can drag if you do... I nearly bought myself a pack of them today, but I have no copper to work with. So I left them at HF.

Anyone reading the tags?
@Bill - OOf! If I had known it would be that tight, I would have ported the top different.
@Gnu - Thanks.
@Kayin - Nah. they are just that fine. A tiny bit of copper grit is all it takes. To make matters worse, the saw is bigger around than the mill's pulleys. NOTE TO ME: Don't try to mill 1/8" deep with one ever again!

OK, this should be the last business post from me. From now on, I'm a spectator too.

-I polished up 6-32 stainless steel mounting screws using my "lathe." The trick is to spin the drill up and wetsand the head until you finger lights like a match.

-I had a horrible time getting sandpaper inside the channels, so there's still signs of milling. Fortunately, water does wonders for covering that up.

-I soaked the guts down in glycol for the night. I need some flathead screws from the store and I'll be ready to ship this out. I'm leaving the copper base un-lacquered. It seems to tarnish less if I just leave it lightly waxed.

-See. If you get the channels wet, the ugly goes away.


-Here's one last pic to give a rough idea of the real color. The flash makes this stuff really bright for some odd reason. It's standard light blue plexiglas, BTW. I think I forgot to mention that one.

@Darth - The screws are probably longer than you need. Expect some dremel duty.

Bill, your threads always manage to rekindle my interest in modding.

Not sure if I ever mad much contact with John, but seeing everyone get involved in this project got me thinking about how I could pitch in. I'm a unemployed college student so I don't have money to give. What I DO have is a working knowledge of rainmeter coding and design.

You guys seem to have it covered in terms of hardware, but as best I can tell the system will still ship out with a stock install of windows. I could make a theme-fitting rainmeter suite to package with the system, I'm thinking something along the lines of a bald-eagle launch bar.

PM me if you want more info.

@Yougotkicked - Neat idea. -Hey! A major selling point could be the lack of Dill/Comquack/APPle bloatware.

@Noobneb - Oh, good. I thought I was hallucinating.


Block is lubed up, taped up, wrapped up, and shipped up... To Darth.

I need to know if the grill needs to be a regular style or rad grill style so i can make them, and also need the address im shipping them to

120 and 240 still? Do i need to send the R4s also? They look AWESOME with the blue acrylic, i have one sitting in my PC right now

Hey Bill, can you make those feet out of acrylic without the knurls?
