Tech Bench - Day 04 - screw holes and drillouts

got ready to score thru the side panels so I could drill out the bottom and mid platforms

after the first one

drilled out (sorry blurry)

screwed together

did the same on the other side, and screwed them together

hod to do the mid platform - I knew those weak ass 90d clamps would come in handy one day

the bottom panel depth was 1/16" or so long, so I needed some shims as I worked this part out

after getting one set of screws done for the mid-platform, I flipped her and did the rest

test fit





test fit a fan



instead of unwinding 14 1.25" screws by hand I checked my box of tricks to see if I had a 3/32 hex drive

win (unbolted the sucker in about a minute, as opposed to 10 mins)

used the dfi mobo to score off standoff holes

pre-drill scores

drilled them out 7/64 then screwed in some brass standoffs for a test fit

mobo mounted, all ok

marked off the areas that will be for cm openings and loaded whatever that thing is called... spade bit? lol w/e



began a cut-fest

booyah

next session Ill connect the dots on the ergonomic cutouts

thanks for watching

Nice, glad to see it all coming together. Whats the difference between a "spade bit" and a equally sized hole saw? Also how firmly does the mdf hold screws in, I wouldn't think screw threads in wood would hold up to great.

I am curious: why is the intake not lined up with the exhaust?

thanks

depth limit on a holesaw, plus bimetal holesaws tend to burn the wood at med rpm, where the spade bit wouldnt burn it at max rpms for minutes at a time

I am using non-tap method and it seems very strong. I could see it getting weak over time if jostled around constantly, but aside from that it seems like itll be ok

the intake will perfectly slam the vid card
the exhaust is by the hottest part of the case, by the cpu

there will be a true with fan blowing front to back
the lid will have a fan intake going across the nb towards the back

the back will be completely open
