The Intelligence - Day 04
Went to the hardware store and found perfect screws for my rail mounting system for the mobo - 1/2" flat point screws with an 8-32 tap. Drilled and tapped a test
perfect
began cutting the case for the button/switch controls. if there was no turning back before, there certainly isnt any now
proceeded slowly and cautiously, only one shot at all of this
tada
left a 3/16 lip along the top and bottom for the black acrylic to "overhang", forming a tray effect
after spending the morning measuring and marking the bonding points for the last two base rails, it was time to commit to them. I sanded the case where the base rails will sit, and sanded the rails themselves (two face up sides). I cleaned everything with iso 91% and let dry.
just a perspective shot of the full case and where the black acrylic faceplate will be set
everything prepped and ready for some JB Weld action - bright light!
set the goop laden base rails on their marks, and pressed out the excess. laid a ruler on them and a weight just for good measure
tomr I will recheck the measurements and then I can begin setting the upper standoff rail mounts thru the base mounts. Once thats done I can begin marking off where the back IO cuts will be
Thanks for watching
