Muchisimo bueno!

Jajaj thanks man. Wich note did you obtain on your last spanish test?

And is "Muy bueno" like very good, that it;s the exact translation.

Really thanks man, i almos finished the mod, al least the painting proccess

I got a 94%, so thanks for asking.

I thought muchisimo bueno meant "very very very good," but my Spanish grammar is not so good.

The mod looks good, and I look forward to seeing the whole rig in use.

Congratulation, really good number

Respect to muchisimo, it's not at all bad, but the perfect word, will be demasiado or excesivamente.

But really congratulation, 94% its a lot, because is more difficult to learn my language that your lenguage.

The mod are at 90%, i've to do the letters of my nick on both sides, and make the legs (its not the word, but you understand) for the case with silicone, so from that way, the silicone will absorb all the possible vibrations

Hi, today I install the front USB and sound.
I made the reset and power buttons, install both, but only make the button for the reset, now left to make the power button, my nick letter for the side, and buy silicone to make the legs and put beetween the fans and the wood, and all over the DVDrw and the hdds, so all the vibrations will gone

Finally, here a video of the push-open door case:

Hello, today i applied a glue call Fastix, similar surface to silicona, i put on the edges of the fans, so when i screw the screw i'll kill all the possible vibrations (i'll also put some Fastix beetwen the head of the screw and the fans.

I also put a thin layer when it'll be rest the PSU, and also on the 5 1/4 bays, so i can eliminate the vibrations of the psu, and the dvdrw and fanbus.

Only left to make the caps for the case, from that way i'll probably eliminate the possible transference of vibrations from the case to the desktop.
I also have to make the letters with my nick for the side. And the button of power.

Here pictures of the fastix applied:

One bit of advice on painting MDF: because it soaks up so much paint, it's a good idea to get a small can of cheap primer, and do a few coats with it first. It will help seal up the MDF before you put your final color on (so you use less of your final color), and it will also allow you to sand it smoother before doing your color coat, so if you're going for a higher-gloss finish, it helps a lot.

Yeah, i do something similar, for the next mod on MDF, i'll do like you describe.


I am not persuaded as the legs were yesterday, so today I again using a mold, gave them 9mm x 9mm x 15cm long, Its look better now. Photos of the process:
