...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!

Eeeewwhh, wasps. We had an in-ground hive in my yard a few years back and didnt know it, when we cut the grass we unexpectedly ran over it (they really dont like lawnmower vibrations, just power tools obviously) and a/b 20 stung my mom and a/b 11 got me. Horrible things when their mad. But if yours are the friendly curious type, I would certainly leave well enough alone,lmao.

At the bold underlined: LOL, new sig quote right there! Oh, and I'm posting screenies of my rig as I speak in Phoenix

go look!

Well... you can't really blame them.

If something a thousand times larger than me started to threaten my home, I would attack too.... or run away...lol

*heads over to Pheonix*

So much sanding…. So much polishing…

I realized that I had forgotten to cut the hole for the power-switch…. Hahahaha, that woulda been funny if I had made the entire case, went to install the power switch and discovered no mounting hole.

(Front a center)

Close-up:

Here is an image of the bezel/fascia/thingy that shows the progression of polishing. On the left is a sanded (320 grit) edge, on the right is the router cut. You can see that there are what appears to be “ribs”. These were created because the initial sanding was not done properly (read: smoothly). When polished, each of these ribs shows clearly and looks like ca-ca.

So far I have about 12 hours into this piece, and have another 6 to go. What is taking so darn long?!?!? Well…. each little crevice, nook, nick, saw mark and perturbation will be readily visible when polished; they must be removed.

Here is a shot of the partially done thingy:

This is the motherboard-side panel:

And here are the pieces that I have already completed.

Whew! After all that work it is time for a snack…Yay!

…then back to the grindstone.

Gorgeous. So much work put into that one piece, and every hour shows, it looks amazing.

OT: Did you receive my pm last night?

**repo_man** · 04-29-08

On a serious note, do you keep your hair in a bun while working? I would be terrified it would get caught in a moving tool.

The polishing looks great man!

Greetings, Gents.

Gracias, Amigo. Your kudos just payed for the hours I have already spent.

...yeah...

I know that I should just do it and not worry what peeps think, but it does make me smile inside when hard work is noted.

<OT> I did

.

I will be cutting a piece and then sticking it on with tape to see if you are okay with it.

Yes.

The hair stays in stealth-mode most of the time for the very reason that you fear.

I dunno if it is Urban Myth or not, but I "heard" of a girl that was at one of those Family Fun Centers. She was racing on the go-karts and her waist-length hair was down. As she went around a corner she leaned over.... and promptly got scalped when her hair got caught in the axle! ....no thanks.

"Polishing" =

**repo_man** · 04-29-08

Yea I used to have shoulder length hair myself, its a nuisance while workig *for the most part*

I actually had a friend whose gardian worked at factory, they used high speed cnc type machines and a few strands of her hair got caught and it scalped her in seconds. Its no urban myth, that stuff is dangerous.

Please watch your hair Syrillian, we dont want you bald my friend

Holy crap lol. That would certainly suck. Reminds me of the scene in saw 4 where the girl gets partially scalped, doesn't look like much fun. I usually keep my hair around shoulder length, any longer than that and it annoys me/my mother would shave me bald in my sleep if it was any longer. I have to keep it a nice mix of medium length as my ears are much too large for short hair.

*reminisces to 2nd grade being called Dumbo*

And repo, get on yahoo, mesa want pics of said scalping.
