The Intelligence - Day 30
from last night's grille tacking, what do you guys think? I am not sure if I like them, and I broke the tacking on one of them. I will let these sit and see if it grows on me or not
the hole filling on the mobo pan, time to sand
knocked it all down with 220, finished 400
before any paint or prime flew I wanted to test out the psu duct idea. did some math to find the circumfrence of the opening I cut, vs the circumfrence of the fan duct from mnpctech.com. taped it off
cut
test fit
gah! never was too good at math
used the mistake piece to make a template
taped it to a new duct
clamped for cutting
cut off around the cylinder
then set it up to cut some of the circumfrence off
cut
better, theres about 1/8 inch of play which is fine, and there will be much rim-cutting so once its bonded all up it should all look like one continuous piece. more on that in another log
repainted the handle, much better this time. all black and glossy. of course I forgot to snap a pic so this one will do it the injustice for now. when I clear it in a couple of days I will be vindicated in those pics
what in the world is he doing now?...
cr has gon mad
blasphemy!
quick call the cops!
dear goodness
in...
sane.
almost forgot those
1 coat prime
4 coats prime
the primed areas will be red like the case, the rest will remain alu (back of mobo pan is also primed, forgot to pic)
time to case prime, broke out the denatured alc
cleaned the case down being careful to stay away from the jbweld areas.
was about to start priming when the light faded and when I touched the case (inside) there was a rubbery grit everywhere. I test cleaned a spot with regular alc and it was the same. I am suspecting that the stupid clear coat/sealer they use is "powdering" up from the alc solvents, so I decided to let it sit over night and see what the deal is. I need to get more primer anyway so no big deal. Tomr I will either prime it as is or sand the living hell out of it, clean it, and prime it.
either way, moar tomr. thanks for watching
