OOOH, that's just flippen awesome. The way you sunk the screws flush with the surface looks beautiful too.
Yeah thats an idea I've thought about but now actually seen it done which confirms it's a great idea, requires thickish aluminium or whatever material though & an ok functioning drill press, I'd need a better 1 than my current. Awesome to hear the cover can slide on & not budge only requiring 2 screws, really awesome craftsmanship +rep .

Because this all worked out well I can now finish the fans (sand some more, fill some more and paint) sand and polish the plex, re-polish the alu (and find some proper sealer) assemble the lot and install the hardware. So completion is getting close. I still have to make a decision on the back (was originally going to have a door here, but this would just look awkward as it would overhang the struts and feet too much) so I'm thinking about a snap-in panel here. The wiring, although all hidden, will be a lot of work because of the available space. Connectors for 24 pin, 8 pin and the two 6 pin GFX leads will be removed to save room, and the wires connected directly to there positions on the motherboard and graphics card. Next time I'll show you the completed fans.
Yes, I was going to make an update when the fans were finished but the painting of the fan bodies is not going well at all. Trying to get a nice finish to the inside is very difficult and I've had to re-sand several times because of runs and the like. But other things are going well. I've polished the pads and they look terrific, and the plexi polishing is proving to be surprisingly easy. Here's some pics. Hopefully I can get the fans done this week, then things will move along much faster. I can't really do much until the fans are in place.
Those case feet turned out sweet, very nice work on polishing the plexi, not tried polishing plexi yet & you say it was easy which is nice to know .
Oh come on!!!!! I wants me some shiny alu feet for my case..... If I remember correctly; you posted a tutorial (or guide) on how you polish alu somewhere... right? I may have to go back and check your threads... I definitely wants me some shiny alu like that...
MOTY!!!!!!! just for babies new shoes alone. Do they use those plex pieces for money on your home world? LOL sorry, I got an email that said "no update ". AND I SEE THIS! You really do set the bar high my friend.
Yea he posted it in this log several pages back. I would find it for you and post the post ID, but I'm sure you've already found it by now. LOL
It all looks render-perfect. Can't believe someone can actually get such a perfect finish on all the pieces...
