Since this is my thread, I can cry if I want to...

Last night it was 31C in my house at 12-midnight... When I got home from work at 4:00pm it was 41C inside the house

...needless to say I shed as much clothing as was decent and permissable, and headed to the Pacific Coastline. I was greeted by an 18C ambient and a beautiful afternoon.

...nothing refreshes like a swim in the Ocean.

Fortunately the weather-forecast calls for cooler weather in the next few days; this is a nice thing to hear. I am not opposed to heat, but the Hobby is, and it is also difficult to work with any accuracy when ones safety goggles are pooling with sweat... detail work through a fish-eye lens rarely works out for me.

Anyhooters... enough of my whining.

Here is what I have been working on for the past week-and-a-half:

I started with this:





...and ended up with this, which is the right-side panel through which the carbon fiber motherboard tray and the scripts will be visible through.









Top Bezel:

This is the piece that took so very long. I started with this:





...and ended up with this. It is the top bezel that frames the top-side exhaust, the fill-port, the fan controls, and the power button.






Here is the intended mounting point.




The pieces (all of them actually...) are only 90% polished. The final polish will be done when the outer casing is assembled.

Thanks for looking.

That bezel is fabrication at its' finest.

I wanted to use all acrylic for my case-mod comp case but just didn't have the resources.

This is looking better and better; I seriously can't wait to see the finished project.

If syrillian were a gay Frenchman with a lisp, he could hang that bezel on a wall, call it art, and sell it for at least 5 figures.

I am pretty sure ive gone through all these pages, but is there a page with a pic of this thing when its completed on it, Im so confused.

Lol, if Syrillian were a gay Frenchman, with a lisp, the world would be coming to an end.

I am pleased that you guys like the work so far.

Joe ~ This is a work in progress, a project that should be finished within a couple of months. I realise that I jump about in a hyper-active and seemingly non-sensical manner....sorry.

There may seem to be no rhyme or reason, but I can assure you there is a plan... I think...

Anyhoooo... here is an image of the 2 sides clamped to the base to give an idea of size:




The next step is to work on the feet that are also going to be made from raw acrylic panels. The idea is to have a layered ogee-style foot that is reminiscent of Gothic architecture ~ ala Antoine Gaudi.

The feet will be a 1/2" thick clear panel sandwiched between 2 bronze or black panels. Once I have them laminated/welded to gether I will profile and polish the edges. The hope is that there will be a single layer in the center that will be illuminated with red LED's.

Here are the feet panels:



Please ignore the roundover on the top piece. That was a fubar-panel from another project that went back into the stock-pile.

So, that is the plan for tomorrow morning; make the feet. Yay!.... the neighbors are gonna love it when I fire up the power tools tomorrow at 9-am.
