OK Sports fans an update:

Sorry guys for the later than average updates, The computer had to get put back together after the early demise of an ASUS laptop that I was using to use the net while the case was worked on..

In the mean time I ran out of cut off wheels, but that has been remedied with a quick trip to the hardware shop. I got some Dremel original ones and I am impressed.
But I have been tinkering along.

I have been doing more work to the top I/O panel and have filled in the gaps in the new capping that I did to cover the cut. It's easily seen it's Green the same stuff that sculptors use to sculpt miniatures.

I have also done the basic cut out for the top I/O panel.

The shaping of the mesh for the new panel which I scavenged from the top original mesh.

Then I spotted the face plate and filled in the original switch and LED holes, I am still waiting on the epoxy putty to cure properly.

Then the other day I got a bargain of a monster a Magicool Extreme Triple 180mm x 35mm and 3 fans for a song, I am currently using it for my GPU's and retired my BI GTS 240. This will be used to service my CPU once I get a CPU block......I am deciding which to get at the moment...

Well here is a pic that will show just how much of a mongrel my PC is at the moment..

Once again guys thanks for viewing and have a good one....

Sorry guys.....I haven't posted recently.... I have had to put the PC back together for the time being...and it will remain so for the time being because I am studying CERT III IT and I need my PC for that....

But that is not to say I am not moving ahead, I am but slowly.....But in recent news I have procured another better quality pump and a CPU water block.
