Here is a list of my latest FUBARs:
- Made the HDD cage.... again!
...It was too tall, and the fan was positioned too high
- Dropped the rear panel and the corner chipped (did not mar the perimeter of the panel) (at self-stoopidityyyyy)
The chipped corner is a real heart-breaker as I don't have the budget for a new panel specific to this project. The redeeming factor is that there is a riser (or bezel, or scution plate.... or whatevah) that will cover it.... not much of a consolation, but there is nothing to be had by crying over chipped acrylic.... or is there...
Here are some shots of the rear panel being fitted and cut:
Almost there... I still need to cut the 2 x 120mm fan exahusts, the 90mm fan (FN82) exhaust, and the
potential trap-door for the second reservoir.
I had originally decided to make my own singe reservoir that would feed 2 indepdendant loops, but after re-assessing the size and space rations I came to the conclusion that I would need to place the pumps and the reservoirs on either side of the motherboard meridian.
...this little decision neatly provided an "out" so that I could use pre-made reservoirs...
lol.
More tomorrow.
Thanks for taking a peek.
