Scratch Build – In Progress A mITX build for my mom (19:th October, Soon finished, some overall images)

Awesome photography and loving the attention to detail! Following!

 

looking sweeeet dude

 

Thanks guys!

There won't be an update until the next week. Cause i need to get a dremel and start with the case.

 

I just wanted to tell you that i have received the dye! I won't dye anything until i got all the stuff tho.





Oh, and one more thing, i have made a significant edit to the model, you guise won't notice the difference but it is significant for the assembly.

 

Update time!

Here is just my not so good looking slim drive.



So i took it apart!



And Sanded it to get it ready for...



...PLASTER!
It is not done yet but i will soon put the primer on it!





Last and probably least, i bought some M2.5 x 6mm, they are PERFECT!

 

Love the details Daniel!

 

Thanks mate!

 

Awsome daniel ,
Have you tried the dye yet ? What results have you got then ?

Do you have the link to the M2.5 screws ? do you know if there are some 10-15mm screws like them ?

What are the specs on the screws btw ?

 

I haven't tried the dye yet, i want to get all the stuff before i dye but maybe I'll try the dye anyway.

Here is the screws http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280636268750 you can get them in lengths between 6-12mm.

 

Damn, that's impressive! but how did you know how to take it apart? and, more importatly, how do you know how to put it back together again?? I'd love to have a go at it with my slim DVD but wouldn't dare trying it without some instructions. Got some useful links or advice on this?

good work, man looking forward to seeing how it turns out

 

How i knew? I didn't, i just started unscrewing the screws i thought was the correct ones, then i made a chart so i know where they should go.

Sorry mate, no links here i just took it apart. I got the Optiarc AD-7640S, if you want i can make a video.

Thanks mate!

 

A video would be sweet, man especially as I've got exactly the same brand of DVD. would be very cool to see how it's done (assuming, of course, that you'll actually manage to reconnect all the bits and pieces )

will be watching

 

thanks dude !

 

Very nice work!

 

Update time!

I bought a gas mask for protection when i paint.




Priming done!




Matte black done! The color isn't fully dried yet, maybe it will become more matte black when it dried. Tho i like this shade of black, not too matte and not too glossy!

The paint job itself isn't perfect, it could be much better done tho this will work just fine, this part will never be seen anyways.




I was painting in my bathroom so this is what it looks like after the paint job.




I will use my old Intel X25-M 80 GB G2 for this build.




Tho it is not perfect so i removed the plastic frame and the horrible stickers, much better!




That's all for this time folks!


p.s. Just a quick question, do anyone look at the full res pics(by clicking on them)? Just want to know if i should continue to link the high res pics or not.

 

Lookin' good so far

I do sometimes for completed pics, or some progress pics, but not usually for parts... (I also link to high res, and I understand that it's a pain sometimes)

 

Well to be honest I didn't notice they are clickable. But yea I like big pictures, though I have been happy with the normal sized pictures in worklogs cause those are more than enough to show details.

And nice progress by the way. Your pictures are awesome, both small and big ones .

 

Looking Finemang Daniel, using some swenglish for the funs sake
Come on give us some dyetest pics!

 

Thanks mates! and thanks for the input about the pics.


Kosovar: I häve already startat på the färgning tho iäm not 100% dåne so i wont show it yet. <- Dat swenglish!

Dying in progress, all i can say atm is that the result is great!

 

Still interested to see what happened to the slim drive
