    That's real modding.Excellent work.
    Lot of imagination and a pile of junk.

    More offtopic ...

    A little offtopic.
    I decided to buckle down and fix a broken second mount for GPS. Experience in working with carbon fiber can not be over. The status of this sample was much worse. In addition to not having any part of the fixture, it breached the axial hole, the whole body was covered with a network of small cracks, and when pressed on the detail of it "breathe."
    Do not damaged was the "stress response" in which the latch is set. Only this part I decided to leave.

    Еще немного оффтопа.
    Я решил взяться и отремонтировать второй сломанный крепеж для GPS. Опыт по работе с карбоном лишним быть не может. Состояние этого образца оказалось намного хуже. Помимо отсутсвующей части крепежа, было проломлено осевое отверстие, весь корпус был покрыт сетью мелких трещин и при надавливании на деталь она "дышала".
    Не поврежденным оказался "ответный упор" в котором установлен фиксатор. Только эту часть я решил оставить.

    The entire process of creating the matrix had to be repeated again, as it was necessary to cover the entire piece to ensure the preservation of the correctness of its shape.
    Like last time, the first layer was a release agent, then there was a layer of silicone sealant, after drying, the whole piece was covered with plaster.
    When the form was ready, I pulled out the whole piece, which starred the form and put in its place a piece of fasteners from the last photo. The empty space I filled out the same mixture of epoxy with chopped carbon fiber, in addition, the entire length of the resin was drowned a few entire carbon fibers for greater strength.

    Весь процесс создания матрицы пришлось повторить заново, так как нужно было накрыть всю деталь для обеспечения сохранения правильности ее формы.
    Как и в прошлый раз, первым слоем был антиадгезив, потом был нанесен слой силиконового герметика, после его высыхания вся деталь была залита гипсом.
    Когда форма была готова, я вытащил целую деталь, с которой снималась форма и вставил на ее место кусок крепежа с последнего фото. Свободное пространство я заполнил такой же смесью эпоксидки с измельченным карбоновым волокном, кроме того, по всей длине в смоле было утоплено несколько целых карбоновых нитей для большей прочности.

    Then I grind all sharp edges, drilled holes and laminated piece on both sides with two layers of carbon fabric for greater durability and beautiful appearance.

    Потом я сточил все острые края, просверлил отверстия и заламинировал деталь с обеих сторон двумя слоями карбоновой ткани для еще большей прочности и красивого внешнего вида.

    philosopher, Your a crazy awesome modder mate. :rock::D

    Love modding, it applies excellent to virtually everything, I would do some electronics recycling but I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing. :D

    Your an über handyman. :)

    Really hope you can continue this truly amazing build philosopher, seeing a scratch build made from the electronics working outwards is an absolutely interesting thing to watch unfold, I'd love to see such a build complete. :)

    Never seen modding so in depth before & I'm learning a few neat things along the way, so is an awesome project & awesome teaching. :dremel:

    So, I just read through this log for the first time, and my jaw hit the floor. The level of dedication is truly amazing. I mean...the SATA cable? I'm speechless. High five good sir. High five.

    Friends, I apologize for the long absence. I was promoted at work, so the new responsibilities takes more time and effort. I hope, will soon be easier, and again I will continue to work on the system unit.

    Друзья, извиняюсь за долгое отсутствие. Меня повысили на работе, поэтому выполнение новых обязанностей отнимает больше времени и сил. Надеюсь, скоро будет полегче и я снова продолжу работу над этим системным блоком.

    The next will be the power supply. It is rather qualitative, not to try to improve it so that the stuffing will be changed only by its size, number and type of connectors for power supply devices.

    Следующим будет блок питания. Он достаточно качественный, чтобы не пытаться усовершенствовать его начинку поэтому будут изменены только его габариты, количество и тип штекеров для питания устройств.

    patient :

    Hello all.
    I can not determine the position of the power supply relative to other components. It is necessary that the PSU is not too increased the size of the finished hull and had a good air flow. With this problem.

    Здравствуйте все.
    Никак не могу определиться с положением блока питания относительно остальных комплектующих. Нужно чтобы БП не слишком увеличивал габариты готового корпуса и имел хорошую продуваемость. С этим проблема.

    Nice to see you back and congratulations on the promotion.

    I'm not an electronics expert but option 2 might result in electrical interference from the power supply. Option 1 may have some also but shielding it should be easier.
