Cheers pwrusr :) --------------- Hello Everyone, Small update today, it´s been my birthday weekend and well, you shouldn´t use powertools when... not sober so no work this weekend. So, got a couple of hours in of work today, not much though, measuring hole placements and so on. I wasn´t going...

Cheers fenixv :) ---------- Hi Everyone, Today´s update isn´t much of a work update as such, but rather an update on materials as I haven´t had much time these last few days. Unfortunately my compressor died the other day, it was 6 and a half years old and to be honest it was never very good...

Hi Everyone, Today I started painting bits and pieces. While those dried out I figured I´d get started on the front, while not pictured I had already taken care of paiting the exposed wood colour bits (except where the switches go as those would be completely covered aniway. So, the first...

Very small update today, not so much that I had little time but rather than in order to show these picks, the process takes considerable time. So, first thing´s first, finished the 2.5 drives (2x hdds & 2x SSDs) Took the back panel off and did the cutouts for both mobos, after that I...

Cheers WestSidaz :) ------------------ Hi Everyone, First of all, White Rabbits and happy April Fools day to all :) I was really looking forward to getting some work done on this over the weekend, unfortunately on Saturday afternoon I burned my left hand, nothing hospital serious but...

Hi Everyone, So it´s been a couple of work hectic days so I haven´t been able to do anything but today, I had a couple of hours free so I thought I´d do something I thought about. If you remember, in previous posts I was concerned about the vibration the HDDs would have considering they are not...

Hi Everyone, Continuing on yesterdays update, today I removed all the grit and dirt from the hard drives and got them ready for paint. Most of them are seagate which do not normally have a breating hole up top and this makes it easier, for WD and other drives that do normally have them, really...

Hi Everyone, Today´s update is a bit late, this is because today´s update is all about hard drives. I (finally) took the server apart (finally finished copying all its files from its hard drives in to 2x 3Tb drives). I knew a couple of its drives where on their way out and I knew for a fact one...

Hi Everyone, Another "small" update today, simply didn´t have time for more. So I´ve decided I will split the hard drives between both sides. Why? Because I´ve decided to add a fan at the back for intake and the two 200mm fans on top will do the extracting which are located right on top of the...

Hi Everyone, Small update in terms of work, but, it was very fullfilling. I finished mounting the "fake floor" and I think it came out great, I´m so glad I had the idea for it, as it´s going to make my life so much easier keeping things tidy and clean.. Yes, it´s filthy, bare with me, no...

So it´s been a full year since my last update, other modding projects, work and life in general got in the way, but I´ve now resumed work on this project. So, did the cut out on the base of the desk for the trapdoor. Remember the desk has 2 floors in order to hide cables between them and the...

Thanks! I believe it´s one of those things that mostly works as a combination with the rest so it´s imperative to see the final pictures and it´s hard to judge before doing so :) I´ve never tried that case but I´d imagine it´s like the rest, use masking tape to get a refference for straight...

Sunday: Day 7 of 7 Final day! As I mentioned in the previous entry I will reply to all comments on Monday evening if all arrives ok. Today I finished it all up. There will be a second set of pictures from the CP event but here´s the first set. It goes without saying had it not been a time...

Saturday: Day 6 of 7 Though technically today is Sunday, I couldnt post yesterdays update as I had to source some parts from my everyday pc so I had no PC to post from. I will reply to all comments on Monday evening when I´m setup at the Campus Party event (hopefully everything arrives in one...

Friday: Day 5 of 7 Bunch of problems today. Unfortunately neither the ASUS motherboard nor the CM PSU made it in time so I´m having to use alternative parts. Gigabyte had sponsored a motherboard for a different project so I contacted them and ask them if it´d be ok for me to use it with this...
