this is a cutout from my post in "Modding" for you who have missed it... And today Ive started construction... Just getting started Im doing this in my quite small kitchen The pieces are starting to pile up And so Is the sawdust... I had a real blast cleaning up A small tribute... Now were getting somewhere, this is as you probably can see the basic structure... next up is sanding down the edges to make it all fit together... and then some routing to make the slots for the psu and drive-rack... Also I asked about a radialfan with about these dimensions... hope you like it
Thanks elliod yeah, I'll get it done for sure... only thing is i work crazy days so I wount have any time working on it untill friday... I work 12½hrs each night 4 days in a row, then I'm off 4 nights in a row...
so... a little update... FINALLY I've had time to get somewhere with this project... All parts have been corrected at my old school since the circular saw i borrowed did'nt seeme to cut at right angles, they're not exactly perfect at the moment but I'll fill in the gaps with some putty later on... some pics... more updates soon...
Oh god I better not whine ever again about having to mod in my room! Damn using a circular saw in a kitchen is something new! The plan however looks good. I'd consider stealthing the front panel though. Atleast the CD and the floppy drives.. They don't look too nice IMO.
Just to clear things up...I wasn't shouting bad words at you or something Just a funny picture which happened to have a swearword in it, to which the mods reacted quickly and appropriately. Nice work! But I still can't see any pictures in your last post Is it just me? //ottzen
I can't see em either. There is some sort of "trick" necessary to see them. I quoted his post, copied the links and opened them directly. After returning to this thread, i can see the images. Weird, ain't it? Maybe there is a problem with the size (800x600) or the server prevents hotlinking.
I can only see the pictures when I download them with the links from quoting should be a problem with the google host, because the pictures can't be seen in the browser window (with the direct pictures adress).
hmm.... wierd... must be google somehow, I'll just upload them to some other place later on... yeah, im thinking of stealthing the drives somehow... probably I'll get a cd-front from coolermaster and blending it in with putty... the floppy aint going to be a floppy, It'll be a frontpanel with headphones, microphone and usb instead...
and a new update... first I countersunk the screws... then I covered the screws with filler and sanded them down... this is what I got... first layer of spray... the spraypaint does'nt seem to good, but I'll just have to see after the next coat... also i fixed the pictures in the previous post
Yeah you'll need some bondo and primer to make the screws invisible after the final paint. EDIT: btw for all the macgyvers out there, you can make filler from saw dust and wood glue if you don't need lots of it, that works fine. for larger surfaces that's not too good method, but hiding screws that works.
a crap! did'nt think of that... but anyway, the second coat seemes to have done the trick... I'll post a pic of it later...
Carpentry in the kitchen? Brave, brave man, and my hat off to you. Be interesting to see what ends up...
