I don't think the solvent cements are toxic, but I would recommend using them in a ventilated area.

Heyah, Girface! Heyah, PJ!

Thanks for the warm (and in Girface's instance, exuberant ) welcome.

Yes. I had FUN!

GirFace, I did get your PM and I will respond sometime this weekend. Sorry, not trying to be coy or elusive, I'm just a little haggard and confuddled at the moment (jet-lag and the general wear-and-tear of long-distance travel).

Anyhooters... I did do some assembly on the project, and I should be able to post pics of the carbon fiber motherboard tray (in place) this weekend.

As for travels: My God... we share an amazing World.



P.S. Got a few pics I'll post later on.

After a brief vacation I was looking forward to passing some time whittling away at this project.

There was more cutting, shaping, profiling, sanding and polishing. I prepped all the pieces that I had completed for mounting inside the case. Before I got too far ahead of myself I needed to make sure the rails, trays and stops for the HDD rack and the PSU were the proper sizes. Good thing I checked; the trays needed to be cut down width-wise by ¼”.

These are the HDD rack and PSU mounting parts:




The manner of assembly and the (essentially) necessary aid of gravity meant having to turn the case over to orient it in the direction required for the specific bond. After so many turns and rotations it can be quite confusing as the acrylic is so reflective that it can be difficult to discern where and what needs to be bonded….



heh… kinda funny most of the time, but I am sure to triple-check to make certain that I am not bonding the wrong piece in the wrong orientation to another wrong piece…. also oriented incorrectly...

…I’ve done it…

but not this time.


Center Support and motherboard rail support.



The center-support structure was designed around “openness”, but also needed to be rigid enough to provide support between the floor of the case and the rear panel (not in image) in addition to the entire weight of the Motherboard and all her Papooses riding her. The hole in the middle of the vertical support serves as the single pass-through from one side of the case to the other. The hole was positioned low enough so that the harness of wiring that passes through it will be as discrete as possible.


Here is an image that may give a better idea of how the HDD rack will be positioned in the case. The tray and the rack will slide out of the backside of the case. I played with different “roller” and “conveyor” ideas, but put them aside when I tool a look at cost and practicality.

...expensive and foolish! YaY! :laugh: ...like there ain't enough of that in this little build already...lol.

In the end I felt that simpler was “better”. The vertical supports (grooved rails) of both the HDD rack and PSU will also lend support between the floor of the case and the rear modular panel.





Hardware:

• Re-flashed to 0407
• Cleaned CCC and reinstalled 8.8 from ATI Website
• Swapped CPU for a Q6600

With the Quad @ 3.6, the CPU score doubled.

...next will be the swap with the QX6850 that will run to 4.5 (ish) -lol.



Odd thing about the CCC panel is that when I put a load on the GPU's, the clock and mem speeds do not change from 500/507 but the clocks set by AMD Clock Tool, GPUz, and the scores all say different....:confused... those readings were dynamic with CCC 8.7

Any comments or opinions on that quirk?



Thanks for taking a peek.

Syr!!! You're back! :

Looking great! You scared me with the "bond in the wrong spot - I have - But not here" thing lol.

My package got here safely, I posted pics and whatnot's on my log! TY again friend, glad your trip was a safe one.
