no magic, just heater on inside garage with 50F temps outside. when spraying (small parts mind you) just cracked the door a shade and put on a fan to exhaust

The Intelligence - Day 52 - hinges fixed, game switch lamps juiced

hit the hw store for some parts for the roller dials. I think I went a little crazy but I wanted to have more than enough stuff on hand, rather than find out I am short a part, at some odd hour

this is the hing pin that will be used on the center hinge, epoxied into one side of the hinge there, but more on that another time

needed to sort out these hinges once and for all. got a scrap piece setup as a test of the bore-out idea

after boring out with 7/64, and the 4-40 screw still not fitting, the next step was 1/8. That was cutting it close but there was no turning back. bored it out with 1/8". It fits! went for it on the real hinges...

win

perfect timing, a package showed up at 2pm

some supplies, a couple cans of blow off stuff, some 18 awg wire I needed yesterday, and the most important tool - molex pin remover

immediately got busy with the molex pin remover

cleared a female molex, but back to this in a moment

since the hinges being bored-out was a win, I needed to paint them acorns. thats them sanded and cleaned with IA91%

basically held the screws (with a gloved hand) and primed a few coats
after it dried for 15 mins I painted with Krylon Black gloss

hehe

after the acorns were painted and stashed safely away I rounded over the corners of the acrylic that will be used for the trim on the roller dial face plates

since there wasnt anything holding back the 12v tests on the power & reset switches I made the wiring. straight joined the 12v positive side, then the negative

thats them soldered

tested both circuits at all points

shrinked the connections

hooked up everything on the case (fans, power, monitor, etc) and connected the reset and power switches. Test booted without the 12v lamp connections, all ok, then connected the 12v lamp wires that I just made. pretty neat looking

CLICK - BOOT - LET THERE BE LIGHT!
haha (danced around at this point

)

Those f'ers look badass, I should have turned out the lights just to see but I forgot during my manic happiness

anyway, need one good day of work on the roller dials and this proj should be done
thanks for watching

Damn CR, Those lights are Kick ass!

CattleRustler · 11-28-08

thanks mate, I was enjoying them myself, as well

**repo_man** · 11-28-08

Awesome stuff bro! Those buttons are my favorite part of the whole build,lol.

xHassassin · 11-28-08

Ha. Nice!

BTW, CR, where do you get those switches? It's a big PITA to have to take a screwdriver and press it against the pins to turn my comp on all the time.

normanwall · 11-28-08

I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned this yet(thread is too long

)

You should make spots on the case for straps, so if you ever go lanning you can wear it on your back, like you're capturing the intel.

You could even go as a scout, lols.

hehe, theres a giant magnet under the mobo, and I made a harness to wear under your clothes that has a magnet on the back so you can basically stick the case to yourself and waltz into a lan party like all win and stuff, no need for straps
