Jessie's Gumdrop - Finish Parts
So I brought the parts for this project up to the nice air conditioned office, to snap off a few pics and show you guys whats in store. I brought up everything except the modders mesh and I dont have the acrylic here yet, but those with both be focal points of upcoming worklog updates since I still have to cut and install that stuff when the case comes back from paint
so for now lets have a peek and the other finish bits...
heres the pile of goodies - sorry no wicked WC rads or fan arrays
here's the two types of c-channel I am using. The one on the left is the stuff you can get from mnpctech (neoprene 1/16 squared over) I am using that one for the window and the vent on the right side panel. The c-channel on the right is from mcmaster-carr (neopren 1/8 rounded over) this one is for the front blowhole
thats the cd/dvd drive - the face plate is at the paint shop
picked up 8 Silverstone nickle-black plated slot covers for the unused slots. I toyed with the idea of having these painted to match the gumdrop but I guess I chose not to. If I dont like how they look I could always paint them myself now that I am such a pro :sarcastic:
UV lamp to illuminate the uv reactive acrylic work that has yet to be done. More on that in future updates. When I saw "purple" as a sleeving option I couldnt resist, plus black shrink
The kit comes with a pci slot cover, with a small built in on off slide switch. I am going to disconnect the wires from that switch, and run them to the custom toggle on the back of the case
I used the dreme and a grinding stone to remove this piece from the actual steel plate which screws to the chasis for the mobo connectors. This was held onto the plate with some type of hollow rivet/crimp thing. I ground down one side and removed the part. I will use pop rivtes to reattach it. The plate is off being painted but I kept this part back for the nice stainless steel/chrome to black contrast when everything is reassembled.
ye olde pc speaker
scythe ultra kaze 120x38mm for the case blowhole intake
when I decided on the color theme for this case, or should I say, when Jessie decided, I knew exactly which feet I wanted - the machined black annodized aluminum case feet from mnpctech
black annodized aluminum case handles from performance-pcs. Does anyone know if annodizing can be clear coated as is?
switches and case wiring. I still need to do some custom wiring for the anti-jessie switches and uv lamp. everything will be black sleeved and shrinked. I am waiting to have the case back before I do it
4 black thumscrews from CrazyPC, and I couldnt resist when I found purple ones on performance-pcs.com
The black one are for the case panels, the purple ones will be used on the pci slots. If I have 3 left over I may use them to mount the mobo backplate back onto the case instead of the common silver screws - we'll see how that goes/looks when the time comes.
If I forgot anything I guess it will show up when the final build starts. Thanks for reading
