Case Update - New Pics
Case Update - New Pics
Hey, last time i posted pictures of it, it was still under contruction. Here's some pictures of it when it's more on the done side.
Here's my computer's home:
Here's a good look at my case:
As you can see, I mounted the rocket switch in the corner of the side panel, and got some rounded IDE and floppy cables. I also followed ZXMods.com's project on how to cut off the removable drive bay tabs off and did that so that my window would fit (you know what i mean if you have an Antec style case) There is still a large mass of wires athe bottom i need to hide somewhere :/
Here's a look at my case in the dark, but due to the fact that i can't turn the flash off on my digital camera, It got messed up as i blocked the flash bulb with my fingers. As you can probably tell, the cold cathode light is actually a lot brighter than it appears.
Now i'm trying to get some old curly phone cords, paint them, then put my mass of wires in them... Until next time.
Just if you were curious, here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6GHz) with a 7,000-8,000rpm CPU fan (my ears hurt)
Abit KR7A-133
512DDR PC2100 Kingston RAM
Leadtek Geforce 3 Ti500
IBM 7200rpm 40GB Hard Drive
Artec 16X DVD-ROM
HP 8x4x32 CDRW
Samsung 1.44 Floppy Drive
Enermax 350watt Power Supply
Sound Blaster Live 5.1
Linksys 100TX 10/100 Network Card
6 Case Fans (3 blue LED's)
Red Cold Cathode Light

Good job!
Good job!

I used a professional Kraftsman saber saw with a 36tpi metal cutting blade (professional=high power, saber saw=jig saw). It was very easy going, and it left a nice clean cut. I cut the hole a little too small to be safe, so i never actually used the locking strip that came with the kit (wouldn't fit in) and i've found it stays in there pretty well.
Well, i would have done that if i had access to one, but the only thing i could find was my friend's saber saw... So i went out to sears and got some blades for it, a pack of 2 not knowing how fast it would eat through the blade. It didn't even appear to wear the blade down, besides the fact that the black paint had worn off, but the teeth were all still sharp. My case lost a good 3 pounds that day
Hell yea!! Now thats what im taliking about... ill have to make a small page of all the machines i used to run. We didnt have a single CNC in the shop! All the stuff i worked on was 1 of a kind. And BIG! youll see when i get everything up. I used to work in a Heavy machine shop. Everything was manual and most of the machines that could make use of them had digital readouts.
God how i miss maching. too bad the market is for crap around here. i think i need to move where there arent mills but a need for machinist. the market over here is so rich full of machinist and the like.

It flooded around here too. Most of the work i do is on a manual lathe. We've got 2 manual lathes and 1 manual mill with a digital readout. Have 3 CNC lathes and 4 CNC Mills. Only have 4 machinists other than myself. Most of the work we do on the mills takes 45 min to run a part through so 1 guy runs 3 of the mills. We build all of our own parts for gearboxes and these nutshakers that we build. I'm the lucky bastage that gets to build the gear boxes and run the manual lathes.
Yes, I too did some smaller jobs like that. but most of them were G jobs. I dont know if you know what that is but its a Goverment job. Nobody knows what it or what its for (wink wink)
As you will see by the pictures, most of what i did required a crane to move.
Ok after farting around for a half hour i finaly figured out how to do the linkage. Hope you enjoy. Jsut ask and i can explain every picture to ya!

Yes the big toys were fun. The 7" floor bar was cause everything was powerd. everythign except the gear shifters (which you didnt need to move much). and normaly the jobs that used a machine that big were simple jobs. set it up and just true up all the surfaces and crap. but to do a sigle cut may take like 3 hours of babysitting (start the cut and watch the machine).
