Case Mod - In Progress Official "John Hanlon Fund Raiser" PC Build (Thank you Mach!)

This is a great project by all means.

Of course 5 *****

 

LOL... I know; I'm just trying to find ways to help even if the RAM is not compatible with the HW being used on the build.

 

I was telling Cheap that i have 4 new blue R4 fans that id like to donate and would like to make grills to go with them. If they are single mounted fans i can make ones to just cover the single fans, but if they are mounted on a rad, this is what that looks like



I can make up to a 360 grill (like this or wider for mounting a rad with) with the continuous design. If there is a theme i would like to match the design or at least the colors. Cheap did mention he thought it would be 'red white and blue'.

 

that would be awesome. I think we are mounting a 240 rad internally so having an internal grill would be great will look to see what other fans we need. Blue I bet would go well

 

OH! Hexagonads. Excellent. Better look than just holes.

 

OW...

 

I just love auto suggestions in Firefox. Only have to type part of a word and it fills in rest!
Someone should have tested this a little more.

Hexagonads Cheesecake awesome word of the day.

Apparently they are a special screw unless a parts place listed them wrong.

 

Definitely wouldn't want to sit on them accidentally...

 

ROFL

 

Makes me feel good to be part of the creation of such a term

 

ecommunity... is what is missing from the world these days, glad to see it still alive

 

Bill's really swamped right now and he asked me to post relevant stuff.

-Earlier, I glued together a big 4" x 1" brick.

-Of course, It needs a transparent window to see the condition of the copper, so I had to shave the opaque white down to 1/16 of an inch. That got messy fast. The fly cutter can really throw plastic around.

-The first pass is in 3/8" I had to use this bit because it's the only one that can cut more than 3/4" deep.

-1/8" pass. I'm keeping this one simple. Just a side to side flood across a big slotted plate.

-This is after the last session with a 3/32" bit. Next I use all the little holes to drill the mounting points.
...and run the vacuum. Seriously, that was messy. I should have some copper ready to mill tomorrow.

 

Last water block you made for me was during a hurricane with no electricity! Most excellent. My thanks.

Looks really nice cheaps & getting it down to 1/16" wouldn't have been an easy task.

 

Neat job, yes!

 

@John - Cut manually too.
@Waynio - Really easy, actually. The tough part was that cutting left to right tossed hot plastic string at my face.
@Nutman - Thanks.

 

Do you recycle your acrylic shavings into glue?

 

Back when I was seriously into plastic model cars, we would make a great filler by simply adding pieces of the plastic sprue into bottles of liquid cement. You could make it as thick as you needed. plastic bondo! stayed on forever.

Might be time to splash out? Remember, you only get ONE spare eyeball!
