    Thanks Heki, thanks brother... :thumb:

    Up, up...

    So first we explain you ... with the sliding tray some connection to the motherboard becomes a problem or becomes uncomfortable ... like the cables for power LED, reset and power buttons, a usb that I will use for a Aquaero and also temperature sensors, power pump, etc. ...
    So I thought of make it much more comfortable and "funny"... :idea:

    I made ​​this support.

    This box I need to insert ourselves two plug d-sub 15 pin female (VGA)

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]​

    that will connect with other two male plugs inserted into the drawer that allow me to easily disconnect all connections to and from the mother board.

    I've attached directly on the original card of the case, using the 4 mounting screws, where are soldered the buttons and lights on the front.

    [​IMG]​

    I've got a sheet of aluminum from 2 mm of thick for close the front of my drawer was left open for this up... where I will fix the male plugs d-sub.

    [​IMG]​

    Cut to size, I drilled and tapped to fixed it.

    [​IMG]​

    Some hole for the plugs...

    Loving your attention to detail! What lovely fabrication skills.

    Do you intend to leave the steel au naturale or are you going to powder coat or finish it in some way?

    Thanks Mosquito :)

    Ciao Kappa :thumb:, I'm happy see you here...and thanks.
    Thanks also for suggestion but I think that the VGA connectors are sufficient.
    See you soon.


    Thanks JCBeastie :)

    I'm in love with this mod. I like how you are making a very, very pratical case which looks good too. And the attention to detail is just awesome.

    Subbed..

    Keep on modding !

    Hi guys,
    sorry but to cause of some commitments that I have, I do not have time left for the mod.
    I ordered material for sleeving from Nils and in this days I sleeve some wire of VGA.

    I hope that like you.

    This is a great build. I especially like the metalwork. Could you make a list of the tools that you are using to shape and work with the metal?

    Keep up the good work.

    Absolutely superb work! At first I didn't even open the thread as there have been so many TJ07-mods it's hard to come up with anything unique, but god damn you really pulled this off! I actually had something like this in mind when I had the FT01 (similar uni-frame), but I would never, would have had the skill to make everything so nice.

    Can't wait to see this finished!
