This is great, I cant wait for more pics.....

I’ve got a small update I will try to post tonight.  The other good news is that they should be shipping my panel tomorrow.  We should see some big changes happening towards the end of next week!

I’ve got a small update and a couple pics for you guys.  Over the last week or so, I’ve not been able to get a whole lot done.  So much of my progress has been held up while waiting for the panel.  In the meantime however, I’ve received almost of of my missing parts.  Including various screws and hardware, in addition to a trio of 60mm fans.

This picture here shows the new aluminum brace responsible for holding the PSU in place, as well as adding structural integrity to the case.  The forward part of the brace will also be used for assisting in the mounting of the laptop drives and the CoolIT cooler.

Here we have a closeup of the countersunk rivets.  It’s… well… riveting....  [/lame joke]

oo snazzy...” It’s… well… riveting....  [/lame joke]” LOL!

you do some serisouly tidy work!! very impressed

Thanks guys!  If something isn’t exactly what I want, I will redo it.  I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist.  Lol.

hack it up and glue it together is my motto, i just can’t afford glue :D

i got a question for you, what is the name of the tool you use for riveting?

It’s just a simple pop rivet gun.  Any hardware store should have them.

thankz man

Front Panel Express rocks!  I just tracked my package, and it’s out for delivery!  I think I’m going to have to leave work early today....

Pics will be posted tonight.  Stay tuned…

As promised…

I’d like to thank Karen and crew, once again FPE really came through for me.  Flawless work guys!  I couldn’t be happier with the finished product.  I don’t recall how many times I measured and remeasured everything.  It was plenty.  The end result payed off.  Everything fits perfectly!

Very nice!

LOL! ok this is goin to be a direct quote of me on the fone with my friend when i say this pics…

Me: “OMG OMG OMG HOTNESS OMG OMG!”
Friend: “What?”
Me: “The hottest computer mod i have ever seen!”
Friend: “lol ok you need to relax”

Lol!  Thanks guys! 

I’ve got so much to do all of a sudden.  For over two weeks, I could just sit back and relax.  Now I can really dig in to this thing.  I’ve got new blades for my saw, and the dremel is ready to go.  Tomorrow should be interesting…
