cool, thanks
luckily there's 2 HD's within a few miles of me, and one by my job - so that leaves three to choose from. Hopefully 1 will offer cutting of plywood sheet

Most places will at least cut it in half, when I picked up the plywood for my project(4'x8 sheet') I had them cut it in half. Just don't expect wonderfully accurate measurements from minimum wage employees. Luckily the two pieces he cut it into weren't that different in size(cuts are straight though because they have a machine to do it for them)

thanks repo, sparhawk
WBaS, somewhere in the next two weeks

I just got a package from mcmaster which has everything else I need for the build/fab, and i will be getting one more small item from mnpctech next tuesday.

In the meantime the plan for this weekend is to get the remaining case fab work done (2 more small cut outs), Do a full test build and POST of the rig, to rule out anything that may require more fab/cutting. Then get all of the sanding, spot priming, body fill retouch/resand done, then get all of the case priming done in and out. Plus there is an electrical mod I am planning for the psu which I will have to examine, because its viability determines how I approach one of the two cuts mentioned above.

In other words a ton of stuff to do before I can start painting

Any word on the JB sanding? Look in my log and you will see bondo did not work (again). Used JB weld today, should be cured by tomorrow and will be sanding it. Think I will start at 220grit and move from there.

@Hutch, I didnt forget your question mate, I responded above, three days ago...

sorry for the double, but before I forget...

@Hutch
The JBWeld sands away but it requires a bit of effort. When I broke off the little L bracket I had to sand away that whole patch area of jbw, I had to really go at it with some 120 grit to get it flat and smooth. Had I used the orbital sander at that point I could have removed it fully but its ok. Hope that info helps

The Intelligence - Day 20

Spent a better part of the day sanding the other half of the case

here's a couple perspective shots since I havent really posted any lately...



quick detour to an idea I had. requires extracting a part from an old dead psu









what if I mounted that part in the back of my case, so the power cable was easily detachable, but on the inside (since the case psu is fully internal) I cut another power cord, leaving the three pin female part in tact, and soldering the bare wires to the connectors on this piece? Sort of like an extension? Any electrical types wanna send me in the right direction?

anyway, back to the case, wanted to do some spot priming to find pinholes or missed damage around the fan cutouts

few nicks here

this spot is clean. originally a screw hole iirc

this need s touch up too

and this

and this (sigh)

ok here around the dvd slot

applied some small dabs of Evercoat on all the areas pic'd above
I guess its more sanding tomr (yay)


moar work coming
thanks for watching

Looking great CR! The primer really helps you see what you might have otherwise looked over.

OH, for your pinholes, heres a GREAT tip for little spots like that. Use a straight razor blade to spread the filler. The razor leaves a very clean wipe and makes sanding minimal. With they way you have it on now (kind of roughly spread on) be careful sanding it down and use a block, otherwise you will dig out the filler around it and have a hump with a 'moat' around it,lol.
