This was just a head-shaking kind of thing. I dont know what I was thinking, I knew better than to leave the back open like that, seen this same thing happen toooooo often in body shops due to poor taping/masking. Sigh, oh well, like I said, its a minor setback, worst case i cut a new window this weekend out of another piece of acrylic. I'm going outside now to set up the case and get these shiny pics for you guys as promised though.

This case should be *structurally* finished as soon as my 3 rear fans get here this week (hopefully tomorrow). I think I'm going to put the sig rig hardware in here so I can finally see this puppy up and running on my desk and have more room/time to focus on the mod comp case Im starting. All I need is some RAM and I can use my new hardware.

Woo Pics!!!
Woo Hardware going in there!!!
Woo Terrible Overspray!!!...Oh...Wait thats not good

Sorry to see you have a setback. Still at least you have some spare perspex.
Don't beat yourself up about it ... humans make mistakes ... At least it proves to some of use you aren't an alien. (although you must be alien to have such l33t bondo skills)

Lmao, I got a laugh out of that.

It's not so much Im mad at the setback, b/c this build has been relatively set-back free *knock on wood* it's just I knew better than to half-way the tape like that. I'm more upset at my lack of thought than it happening,lol. Pics up soon (<10mins)

Sorry to hear about the setback. Just think, this will make it all the more tantalizing to see it finished!

You'd be surprised how many people still use dial up *shudders* lol.
OT I tried to send a friend of mine at school some videos on messenger and she's like "ahem....im on dial up..." I didnt even know dial up still existed,LOL.

Yikes,lol. And thank you.

OT: Right as I clicked post reply to post these pics my ISP went down. I was like, NOOOOOO. Luckily a quick disconnect/reconnect to my router worked. Whew! Ok, now, PICTURES

I dont know why that bottom drive looks darker

This is when those clouds rolled over, a little shaded.

Now thats a sexy shot, mmmmm.

Shining!!

Think I'm going to order some U-channel and line the window when I recut it this weekend. OT: Where the HELL did that dent in the top right corner come from

Also, you can see ME in that pic,lol.

Edit: Just seen these two rep+s in my User CP.

LMAO, I dont know who gave those, but thank you both for the kind words. I'm far from a modding god on here, but this build in indeed awesome, in my eyes. Glad you all have enjoyed this as much as I have. Im kind of sad to see if nearing completion,lol.
