Scratch Build – In Progress purple-haze (as named by ediejo!!) update 5/11/2007 watercooling parts!!

haha, looks like ill be spending my time browsing around for buttons too

 

lol! klkl the ones most people use are bulgin vandal resistant switches but for £15 each they are not worth it!!!

 

dude seroiusly, 15 pounds makes me laugh so much.

15 pounds for a button lmao

 

lol yer they look good but they are not worth it!!

 

lol, if i'm right that is over 200rmb just for a button. heh.

i'll probably find one for 10-20rmb and just buy it. as long it looks basic in a good way and that it works.

 

lol!!! klkl

 

updates?

 

one will hopefully be on the way tomorrow evening! so stay tuned!!

 

hey people sorry no update today the alu and acrylic arrived too late o do any modding but tomorrow i will hopefully be able to show you the hdd cage as i have from like 8am-3pm to mod

 

haha just got home. checked out the prices of cases and the likes, pretty expensive over here. heavily taxed. hopefully sometime end of this week, i will be paying a visit to B&Q.

looking forward to that update

 

klkl yer get yourself some materials!!!!

and either a domed or flat one http://www.rapidonline.com/producti...RoHS+Vandal+resistant+switches&moduleno=76152

 

rights! i went to b&q today, and they dont' have what i wanted.

so my alternative i think is to get a power drill + jigsaw seperately. they are actually cheaper then expected.

the powerdrill i can purchase in a toolbox set, comes with a metal ruler, wrenches, allen keys and much more.

as for the jigsaw, its only a single speed jigsaw which comes with a pair of standard blades.

both of them that i plan on purchasing will be manufactured by black and decker.

 

yer if they dont have a 'dremel' then yer id say go for it black and decker are good so no need to worry about quality! lol

i will have an update later today im currently working on the hdd cage.

 

yea, will have to do it that way. pity i reckon.

nonetheless, still waiting for that update!

 

yer itll b here later

 

well it didnt quite go to plan today and i didnt like teh way that the hdd cage was going so i am going to start again on it tomorrow! o well

so ill cya tomorrow

 

aiya!~ well i suppose you learnt something right? that is what matters.

anyways, i'm actually pretty loss in terms of rivets after going to bnq today...
so computer screws tend to be m3 right? so i drill a 3mm hole right? but what size rivet do i use? 3mm right? because when i went to bnq today, they didn't even sell 3mm rivets, instead they had like 3.2, 4, 5mm and so on. no 3mm in sight.

also what about thickness. for example, say if i am riveting two sheets of al that are 2mm thick each, therefore 4mm in total, do i have to use a rivet that is 4 mm in length or can i use something like... 7mm?

thank you so much! how life is confusing when you are not knowledgeable

 

well no ive been using 2.4mm and 3.2mm rivets! lol

ummm length not sure ive been using short lol

 

2.4mm for what size holes
and 3.2mm for what size holes?

i am guessing, your using 3mm drill and using 3.2 rivets? :S
