The Intelligence - Day 12

This morning I swapped out the the 8800gts from the sig rig, for this project. Here's the Q6600 cpu and the modified 8800gts 320 (zalman vf1000 + rhs88 sink kit) At some point I am going to remove the fan from the sink and see if I can get at the LED (blue), if I can I will change it to red

had some filing to do on them fan hole disks, what better music to have than AIC? (and a nice cold brew )

finished filing. I tested each disk in each of the holes so when it comes time to jbweld them I have no surprises, or last minute filing to do

needed to make a stand-off of sorts for the psu, so when the case is up right not all of the weight is on the two back L-brackets. marked off...

mounted it to a piece of 2x3 which is clamped to the table, a quick safety mod for dremelling

cut

after some filing I taped it into its position for test fitting

I think we have a winner
I am thinking about trimming it back further and putting some u-channel on it

might as well bond it in its final position now and get it over with. Used a couple dabs of jbweld and the hardener

setaed the part and pressed

while that thing set I needed to figure out these switches. Heres one of the cool-arse "game switches" and a hole saw approximately the size of its shaft. Going to test in cardboard for now...

apparently this switch comes apart, but for the life of me I dont know how, below are a bunch of pics showing the switch from all angles. I am fairly certain the green part somehow disattaches from the shaft but I cant figure out how. i tried pressing the white tabs inward to see if I could then turn the switch out of the body, but no dice. Hopefully one of you knows, heres a bunch of pics from various angles...












reps and hugs if you can figure out the switch Once I know how it opens I can start on the acrylic work for the switch panel. Cheers and thanks for watching
