Default [Project] BLITZ [CM690] (Updated 7/25)
Unfortunately, I have no work log pictures (of the painting etc..), but this is still a work in progress

To do list:
  • Red LED fan for Tuniq Tower [complete]
  • Custom window side panel [complete]
  • Velociraptor [complete]
  • Cable Management [complete]
  • Another 8800GT for SLI













The Side Panel Window (Updated 5/26)


Tools:


Workbench:


Assistant:


Part 1: Taping & Drawing

Painters tape + outline drawn with right angled ruler


Compass, right-angled ruler, and pencil get the job done


Close-up


Part 2: Cutting

Test run with 2" holesaw = fail


Decided to scrap the holesaw idea, went with jigsaw all the way around. Result:


Screwdriver got me


Post-file/sand


Sneak peak:


Part 3: Attaching the window Update! 5/26

Tools: Double sided masking tape (thin), utility knife, piece o' cardboard.


Applying the tape


Close-up


Acrylic down


Flipped


And there it is

Yeah, and there's some other compounds for filling in scratches, which don't work as great as simply repainting it.
