Day 3.5-Paint practice and a long session of filing.

Alright guys i have a massive update on my hands and im ready to bombard you with pictures but first i have some sad news i would like to share with you today. EDIT: cat has been found. If you dont care skip ahead but this (IS) my kitty bacardi.





EDIT: he came back after 5 days in the void.

Anyway now that were past that time for pictures. Oh and btw at the request of a few people i am posting more pictures than i used to tell me if you like/dislike the onslaught of pictures that i bring.

alright so this is how the panel looked like at the start of the day


this is my horrible excuse for a work bench lawl


started cutting some holes


a few down


well i learned a valuble lesson about how not to use a drill bit on a dremel. it appears i pushed to hard and i melted the friggin bit.


so i went out and bought a new drill bit and a bigger file, cutting much better this time.


alrighty all done with the holes.


after a crapload of filing


and the finished product.


then i set up some acrylic


the cuttin looks smooth


and it came out well.


im not sure if you can tell but i managed not to scratch it


next i put it together, now its lookin good


next i need to paint the screws and the panel.


throughout the day i also test painted a peace of metal so i could learn how to paint right.


smooth and ready to go


some primer


some black


and finaly done


not perfect but i learned some things


this work area sucks i need a workbench


test sleeved a cable for fun


these are some pics of my room while im modding, i have no where else i can put this stuff





and while im at it this is the computer im upgrading from, isnt it beuitiful?


the rest of the setup isnt as bad


Alright thats all tell me what u think of the mass of pictures, More/Good/Less? Tomorow i will be workin on the front fan setup(getting rid of the ugly hdd cages) and will prolly be setting up another peice to paint black, need experience before that fancy mirage gets here. my parts should arrive monday-tuesday from newegg and performance-pcs so expect some fun stuff to happen around then.

Thanks for watching! ^_^
