Scratch Build Placatus - my first mod, a scratch-built minimalist HTPC

[Waynio]

Clamped between ply, good tip, nice clean hole.

Cut the other side today, worked like a champ, no issues at all this time, so I think the detachment last time must have just been an issue with the drill, and as it was hammered back in was still fine today.

There's not much for me to do now until I get myself a dremel, and I'm waiting for Amazon's boxing week sales for that, so I'll post again when that arrives.

Boring update today, and no picture either (it looks exactly the same as the other hole )

Well, my Dremel 4000 arrived!

I fired it up this afternoon and had a bash at the trays to hold the fans, first of all using a cutting disc:



And then with a grinding stone:


(that's actually a before shot, as you can tell, slipped up there I didn't take another shot afterwards)

I normally would have used the bench grinder to finish off there, but wanted to take the new dremel for a spin..



I finished up by marking holes for the fan guards.. seeing it like this makes me not want to paint it

Nice Dremel work Fordy

Neat stuff. Subbed.

Thanks all for the kind comments, I'm sorry not to have updated in a while, exams -_-

My last one's tomorrow, then I can get back to it


On another note, can anyone recommend a reliable; quiet PSU? My existing one just died in the background.. Here's hoping that's all that died.
