I finally finished drilling, tapping the holes for the radiator mounts.

It required some gentle "massaging" to get all the holes to line up properly.

The original holes lined up fine, it was the recesses' that need a little help. In this picture (sorry, had a hard time getting focus where I needed it) one can see the difference. On the Right is a non-recessed bolt, and on the Left you can see (or should I say not see) a recessed bolt.





Now that I have that segment done, I can return to sanding shaping and polishing the bevels. I was reluctant to expend the time, then mess the holes up so I decided to drill then polish. In hindsight this is probably the safer method of going about it: finish all fabrication prior to final polishing.


Here is one of the radiators mounted to its panel:





And another showing the intended placement on the front cover of the case itself:





This image shows the front of one, and the backside of the other.



I also finished cutting the carbon fiber angles this morning. I will be drilling the hardware holes in the angles and the panels soon. This means that I can start assembling the case itself.



Time for some Pacific-Air.

Thanks tr8r!

More sanding. Some work on other projects.... Used all of the power tools today... still have all my digits... Yay!

Oh! ... and here are my Roomates:



That is one of about 5 nests that line the Western eave of my home. They are pretty friendly, but a little inquisitive. One bugger landed on my head while I was using the router table. I could see him perched on my melon in the reflection on the acrylic....

Sometimes there are as many as a dozen or so buzzing about inspecting my work. I think that the vibrations of the tools pique their curiosity....

Anyhow, we co-habitate fairly well.

They don't come into my house, I don't destroy theirs.
They don't bite my cat or me, I don't kill them.

Win-win.

Are those wasps/hornets or bees Syr? At any rate, kudos for working with the little guys and not against them. + for nature! Lol

The panels look...hmm. I donw quite know the word to describe just how good they are. But rest assured I am quite in love with them! *And x2 on whoever said how big those are, good grief! you could cool a smallblock chevy with two of those! *

Heh! yeah... "Stingy-Flying Thingies" freak some peeps out.

I had this Friend when I lived in Santa Cruz, Ca. He almost got us killed one day on the 101 Freeway when a bee flew in the window.

...jeez!... I can still hear the shrieking!

Anyhow, they are Wasps. It has been 3 seasons now with no mishaps, so I leave well-enough alone.

Thanks for the nod at the panels, Repo.

Gawd! .... a lot of work went into those buggers, albeit alot of work that I did not have to do.... (damaged predecessors).



Dual 480 radiators:

Yes. I realise that this is waaaaaaaaaaaay overkill .... but this is OverKill.Insanity on OverClock.Net. It is the way we roll. (not directed at you Repo, or anyone in particular....).

This is the Roman Empire of PC Forums - Digital Debauchery is our motto and creedo.... Let the orgy commence!



As mentioned before, there will be 2-sets of front panels. One set is for the 2 x 480 radiators, the other set will be "universal mounting points" for any combination of optical drives, HDD's, 120mm fans, possible 360, 220, or 120 rads.

The idea is to have a cooling system that can accomodate numerous combinations of cooling alternatives and levels (from air-only to quad-liquid loops - although the latter seems improbable).

I spent some time this morning drilling holes in the carbon fiber - much easier than I imagined. Yay!
