The Intelligence - Day 29

Since paint approaches I had to clear up some last minute cutting to the case. Needed to widen the dvd slot, and the button holes were offset a tad, so I had to "oval" them

did some cutting with a disk in the slot, and a dremel sideways bit for the button and lens opening, but t still needed more work

so I marked the slot with a sharpie

ran a piece of tape as a straight guide, and cut some more



top dvd clearance

bottom clearance

while I had the dvd drive installed I decided to see whats what with the NB and CPU coolers, and if I have room to play with a better cpu cooler...I think I do. The dvd doesnt incroach on the nb cooler, and is miles away from the cpu cooler. I guess I can get that CM GemeniII S cooler if I want. cool er

whil I had the dremel cookin' I decided to clip off the overhang in the dvd bracket

bye bye

when I painted the handle last week, I scuffed it with a plastic bag when trying to cover it to dry. It left a mark that dried into the finish, so I wanted to redo a couple coats, so I scuffed it all down ith som 400 WOD

scuffed, ready for refinish later

mobo pan needed some holes filled screw holes that wont be used. Back-taped it off

broke out the everglass

(squishy noises)

filled the three unsed screw holes, set aside to cure

remember these? time to see whats what with them

used a piece of card board as a flat plane and clamped the case lid over it

aligned the vent covers (needed flashlight for pic - light is pathetic in my shop, worsening by the day as winter approaches)

did some small "tacks" of JBWeld kwik, and let it set like that. I want to see what they look like for the other side tomr morning, and then decide if I will use these or do aomething else. I always have a backup plan (or try to )

threw 2 coats of black gloss on the handle and it looked great, but whan I snapped the pic it looked odd. dull and greyish with wet "spots". Not sure whats up with that. Ill have a look in the morning and see whats up. It was cool and rainy when I painted so I dont know if that had something to do with it, we'll see

depending on the varibales from today, tomr will be some more grille welding, handle painting, and a bottom case prime - and possibly a full case prime

thanks for watching

Another good read - thanx CR!

Regarding your light problem. Maybe you should consider purchasing those upright 'work lights' - I don't think they are very expensive.

I have something like this in my shop (lighting is terrible without it). I picked up the lights with the stand for something like $20-$25 at home depot. You can remove the lights individually (I did) and hang them in "strategic" directions. They make it seem like daylight in the room but add to the heat in the summer.
