Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to put all the switches, buttons, fan control and so on...
Working with Mdf is certainly a task it can go either great or horribly horribly wrong Yours is looking great! im curious to see how this turns out!
Thanks for great feedback! Am not sure about the color of the plexi that I'm going to use in the feet. Should it be red, clear or gray/black smoked? EDIT: Poll added!
Rofl oh the many spelling mistakes i've had i voted red but now i think about it i would go clear but frost the edge of it Then you trap alot of light and if you change your mind on colour you don't have to change acrylic colour
That's a nice idea! Do you know somebody who have done something like that earlier? I would love to see pictures of it
"smoke gay" Cheesecake!!! never been so interested to see something which comes with a "gay' word attached will turn out to be!
as much as i would have liked to vote for the smoking gay, i chose clear, so you can adapt it to any color you like with the use of leds, as long as you frost the sides. just like DeadP1xels said. looking good!
Yeah, I think red or clear would be best, but I'm not sure... The other nice thing about the clear plexi is that I think it would be easier to see if the computer is on or off, compared to the red plexi, which would be red all the time.
I don't have any pictures of casefeet like it but if you look http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=159656 this guy does his acrylic case with frosted bits and the lights just glow very nicely with red i think the lights would be too obvious Im liking your ideas
I just cut out the upper MDF parts for the feet, but since I don't have any hole saw, I had to use a multipurpose cutting kit (656) for my Dremel... As you see there are a lot left to sand/polish, but I'll fix that soon
New sponsor: Lamptron Lamptron have agreed to sponsor the project with power and reset buttons, and a few other useful things for the project. Thank you very much for your contribution!
in the highly unlikely event that you didn't know this trick/technique: put a bolt trough the middle hole, put a nut on it, plug it in an electric drill and secure the drill to the table. work with sandpaper or a file. this way you have a ghetto lathe that gives surprisingly good results for small things like this.
I started cutting of a 15 cm long piece of the 1 m long screw, and then mounted the feet using two smal pieces of plywood and two nuts. And as you see, the result turned out pretty well
