Scratch Build – In Progress GET A LIFE - COMPLETED

Dooooooooooood!

 

Wow, looking at that last picture, it seems a shame to cover it all up! Maybe you have a few spare days to file 3mm square holes in a perspex back panel ;-)

 

Looking good.

This picture deserved a bump onto the next page.

 

Simply staggering attention to detail.

Gawd, I love this build.

 

I'm amazed! But she must be a good woman!

Beautiful update m8!

 

Nice work on the on the sata power cables they look very professional, wont all that metal block alot of the wifi signal? or is that why you used a large antenna.

 

Thanks mate

Yeah I have thought of that also. But the main plan B is to putt the antenna inside a "handle" I've maid in the backpanel. It's made of plastic and should be good enough to let the wifi signal pass through. Kind of like the plastic apple loggo on the ipad that also acts like an antenna.

Btw, I just realized I havn't showed you guys the backpanel after anodizing or the completed front either. Time to sort out som pics I think.

Thanks you guys, apreciate your support, you

You bastar, thats actually a good Idea and would be kind of cool, Im thinking smoked black plexi thats only transparent when there is some faint light on the inside. But I think Ill skip that for now and use the one I got. Don't tempt me like that

Haha, thanks for the bump mate.

Thanks Spreadie, Then I hope you will like the end aswell

So am I, but I got some hosehold duties to catch up on once this is done though :S
Thanks

Thanks buddy. Yes I am a bit worried that all the metall will block it. But since all holes over 5mm will not block the signal, Ihave hopes that some of it will get through in the bottom of the case. But this method is just a test and I got a backup solution incase this will not work. Btw the antenna is the normal size one that came with the case.

 

Now that I've got up off the floor I can comment .... this just keeps getting better and better

I wouldn't worry about the antenna getting a signal I think the shear awesomeness of the case will attract the wifi

 

I am amazed with the compact and efficient design. Great execution.

I can't wait for the wrap-up.

 

Cool comment & bet it's true.

 

Wow is this coming out nicely. Sweet...

 

ABSOLUTELY incredible! I just can't believe the attention to detail put in here! Great work- well done!

 

too much awesomeness for such a small pc

 

A beauty!!! Can´t wait for final... Btw, how small is the thing?

 

Beautiful art, and we still have not seen the panels

 

Absolutly wonderfull brilliant.

 

Haha I don't know If I have managed to give it that Cuck Norris ability but I sertinly hope I'll atract some wifi. Will fire it up tonight and test it.

Thanks daniel. Yeah I have to admit it is actually a bit too compact. Im really struggling now when I try to fit the cables.

Totally agree LMAO.

Greate words from a greate builder himself.

Thanks KS. Awsome and supportive as always

Thanks, I think I've got a thing for small PCs now. Would be nice to have an even smaller Rasberry PI version of it

Thanks mate, the final is pretty close now The size is around 24x24x6,5cm (two coke cans high/wide), not shure about the weight yet but I'll weigh it once its done.

Thank you for your support matiss

 

Chuck Norris is happy with your work .

 

Just nice work but are us sure the wifi is going 2 work ??? as i can see not more then few meters.

 

Before I even scrolled down far enough to read this comment I read the "this computer will attract the wifi" comment and immediatly thought of Chuck Norris

@The_Gnu: Good work. can't wait to see it finished!
