Do oyu have any general case overview pics? Most of them seem to be from a small area where you did some cutting or modding and there aren't any pics jsut showing the whole case (well at least not any recent ones of the whole case)
there's the initial ones but no detailed pics of the larger one, should be able to find some pics of the smaller one. will look now
ic, i'll sort some tonight hopefully. each of the cases and the whole case as it will be (with a bit of luck )
Damn the evil sapper of time, taken a load of pictures of the case and with bits inside, havent time to post em tonight tho, will be at the weekend now probably. sorry
No problem, that's a nice case you've got. I really like cases that have been pulled together from several other cases. It makes them unique.
As Requested, a few pics of the case as it stands now. Got the hole in the back cut for the motherboard (3rd pic down) as yet not cut the PSU hole as it’s a bit of a git due to the pop rivets. Anyway, pics! More pics to follow of the unit hopefully a bit more complete with a test fit of the stuff. (frankly if it doesn’t fit I’m screwed)
Few better pics of the case with some stuff in it. The front of the case (which will actually be the right side when looking at the final front with the DVD drive and the fridge. The back of the case, not that interesting really. Where the server will sit The observent among you will notice i have screwed up royal here, the speaker is in the way of the DVD drive. doh! I checked the height of the main fridge (which will sit in palce of the speaker once my rooms finally sorted) and its even higher :| Thus... cack, a new design is called for me thinks. anyway, here sa better picture of the result of my stupidity.
There'll only be one system in the box and the cases will be pop rivited together, the small case has been compromised in its structural integrity cos some fool (not me, honest guv ) cut the bottom out with a jigsaw and snapped the side rail off. I felt foolish after that. So it has to be fixed as one case.
I ask becuase I saw a mod on the board some time ao where someone made their case REALLY structural with 1/4 inch tubing.
ah, ive not seen that i dont think. working on a new positioning for the DVD drive and hence other stuff which needs to be moved to accomodate the new DVD position. being annoying atm, might have pics up later
having seom trouble with the pics of the latest work, will endevour to sort them asap Edit: Sorted i think, post soon.
Right, now that they work, pics! Becasue of my lack of planning (something i didnt think i'd be able to do on this given the designing) both power supplys will now point out of the back of the case at the wall, which makes life easier for removing the hot air. One PSU fitted fine but the 5 1/4" rack blocked the other one. Better photos of the area. The side cut down a bit for the second psu All the wires for the second psu have to fit through the small hole in the other side, and due to the already tight fit its a pain in the backside to get it in place. As it stands the ATX connector doesnt actually fit through the hole without some considerable force. This'll be cut once i have eaten and posted this.
gonna hack the wiring loom appart once ive worked out where everything is going, the AT plug will deffo be going tho
At last, the power supplys fit, and the minor problem i had is solved. Yet to do anything to the looms, will do once ive seen how everything fits back together.
