So.... today I am in the garage working on the drive bay/hard drive mount.... and this thing is FRU-STRA-TING! ;) 12 holes (3 sets of 4) need to be drilled out so that the piece can be tested. So far, I have only been able to create a prototype mount. Which worked successfully, but it did not...

Ok, I stated I was not entering *this one*.... now the other one.... hrmmmm ;)

LOL Optix! :) May have some more updates later today, fingers crossed. :) Thanks for chiming in!

Ok, so now I am happy that I kept all of those old drives! Even if they are non functional, I can use them to prototype an idea quickly! Looking in the case, there is just not much space! If I put the hard drives in the middle of the drive bay in front of the fans, I am taking up critical...

So.... I have been pondering for the last few days, the layout of the inside of the case. I think I finally hit upon the right mix of component purchase vs "custom fabrication" that I needed... ordered one more part today, and went out tonight and thought about the hard drive location. I had an...

Work with the guy, or call around. See if ythe color you are wanting to coat with is run at scheduled times of the week, then break your case or components down and make it as easy as possible. If you can keep them from having to run a custom color, and instead, lump it in with an existing run...

The thought has crossed my mind once or twice.... prolly crossed Rob's too! ;)

I've been around this site for quite awhile. but have not been very active lately. I've currently got a good base of hardware at home that does not have me wanting for much. As such, I want to give others that may not have the resources I do, the chance to win something grand. That is all. No...

Good luck everyone! Dont worry, I am not entering! ;)

I hear ya Optix... this is new ground for the plastidip stuff.... if it does not work out... I strip it all down and send it off ot be powdercoated! That;ll be durable! ;)

The front bezel needed disassembly and I brought it inside while I made a glass of tea. In the pic, you can see all of the front bay covers removed. each bay cover has a foam filter insert. I then started masking out the bezel. Here I am using line tape. This thin masking tape can be...

Hey there all! Ok, first off, I want to share a neat trick that I did this weekend. Some of you may have done this, but I did not know about this. I was talking to my neighbor across the alley, and was explaining my plight of needing to go into all of those small holes that I drilled for the...

Hehehehe.... I hear ya! I posted it up as soon as I found out about it! :)

Use the code : PAXEAST842 when checking out!!! No clue how long this code will work.... I just logged in, purchased and am downloading the game for a whopping $21.60!!! If you dont have it, and have been looking to get it... here is a good chance to get a copy! -=TD

" even while increasing overall rear and write throughput rates. " - I dont wanna know about rear throughput... this is a technical site, Rob! ;)

Tonight, I went after the flat black pieces I painted yesterday... and wanted to make them a bit more durable. So, I broke out the flat "clearcoat". 2-3 coats on all of the important parts, and everything is looking good! I may dump a few more cans onto the parts.... we'll see how some test...

No worries! If you ever have questions... feel free to ask! I've been doing this long enough to know a thread jack when it happens! ;)

Highly likely, I have not seen a huge variance in the application process. Except on some Lian Li's, Corsair and Thermaltake's where they powdercoat the internal frame, 95% that I Have seen would work with this process. :)

The gray was lightly scuffed, but not removed. I think, the gray is more of a metal sealer than it is a paint. Self Etching primer is definitely a bare metal type of primer, and without getting into a huge discussion, I believe this is going to work as the frame was as close to bare metal as it...

Thanks guys! Kougar.... I am having a BYOTCH of a time coming up with a good graceful solution to tying those LED's together, but I am damn close to a good, elegant and open solution! Almost there! So.... how do you know when I'm liking the weather and I have time to work on the mod??? When...
