    Another update, i have cut the TS letters out, they are very rough as yet and need a lot of sanding and polishing but I'm well pleased with how they look. It's taking time, but it's getting there.

    Cool - what did you cut the letters from?
  6. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    I cut them from a scrap piece of perspex that a friend got hold of. I think it came from some old vending machine of some kind.

    I have decided to make a small change to my reservoir plans. I'm no longer going to put it in the 3 floppy bays, instead, I'm going to fit a fan there and convert behind that area into a hard drive bay. I will make a larger reservoir in my 2 spare 5.25" bays instead.

    I'm just glad it wasn't a steel case, it'd take even longer.:)

    man well i cant wait to see it when your done, u will have to take like 10 pics and post them, oh and i would like to see it when u have all the hardware in it too

    Cool, i will do plenty of pics as soon as its complete.
    I will try to borrow something that takes better pictures than my cheapo web cam.

    It may be a while tho, the filing is taking much longer than I expected and i have run out of sandpaper and don't have any money to get any more at the mo.:(

    To date, this mod has cost absolutely nothing as i have been using tools and materials that i have had for some time.

    Update, thanks to a little help from a drop dead gorgeous friend of mine, i now have a suitable file and the work should progress a lot faster.:)

    Rik - are you deliberatly keeping us in suspense here??
    need an update - nothing seen for nearly two weeks!
  15. Rik Banned Posts: 4,987

    Wish i was, its just that the filing it taking forever and a day. and then some!!

    The progress i have made so far isnt worth doing a pic of as my cheapo webcam probably wont show much if any of a difference.


    I could post a pic of my friend that spotted the file but i dont think she'd be too happy about it lol.

    Any pics that are not of PCs or PC bits would be a break!
