Excellent stuff. I look forward to more of this.

looks good
what kind of strength issues do you think you're going to have when you cut holes for the fans?

cheers repo and wasted and latty

as far as strength issues Nate, I dont think there will be any. I think I may do all 80mm which will never breach the center strut, but that remains to be seen

thanks everyone for watching

I know my desk that I am using is much bigger and flimsier than that case, and even I would think you shouldn't loose any strength when you make a lot of holes, but plan for the worse, because it can happen.

Oh yeh, and another thing, first, Dont use JB Weld, its really not as good as its cracked up to be, I stopped using it a long time ago, and also, make sure that when whatever you use sets, that it can't shift when you let it cure.

If you go to my trojan thread, you can see where one of my support bars shifted over night an it looks like butt.

Top quality work there CR!

I appreciate your commitment to precision - it will pay off huge later on. Following your very successful mod for Jessie, I was wondering if you can impress us even more - you're doing just that with ease!

Massive respects.

BTW, how is Jessie enjoying her PC, any complaints?

CattleRustler

Wow, thanks Euro. I am flattered. Comments like that from someone who does such excellent work (that I could only hope to emulate) is heart warming to say the least, cheers

no complaints, all is well on that front - thanks for asking mate

haha, not so smart if it fails to be strong enough - but thanks

If not JB Weld, then what would you suggest? I have been following your Trojan build Did it droop like that because it was set upright before it was cured, or did it shift after it was supposedly cured?

As far as shell strength, I am most likely not going to blast any 120's thru the center bead where the two halves close, but I havent decided for sure yet. I think if I do cut thru that line, it will be sparingly, and strategically placed as not to upset the integrity of the shell.

I don't think JB Weld will be an issue for strength, as long as you can brace it long enough to cure. I think I posted toyou before in the other thread, but JB Weld (in its usual tube epoxy, not the special paste or plumbers version or whatever) takes a few hours to cure. And it's relatively thin (in viscosity), which is why I recommended the QuikSteel, you won't have that problem with running (and it cures faster).

However, JB Weld does make a paste version, just like Quiksteel (usually on the same rack together) if you want to stick with the JB Weld name.

Don't worry on strength, I've used JB Weld to weld in an oxygen sensor on the manifold of my car and used Quiksteel to patch a pinhole leak in a waterpump. They're more than strong enough for your motherboard and hdd's,lol.

Edit: Glad to hear Jessie is loving the new rig!

thanks mate

Repo, cool on the JBWeld then I have some here, its two tubes, one says steel, the other says hardener. they mix in equal parts and they seem like they are thick, not runny, so maybe its the right kind. It says it bonds in a few minutes, and cures in 4 hours. I think its the original formula, like an all purpose thing. Sounds right?
