How do you get rid of finger makrs on aluminium?
 
Yeah, I got lots of marks where I've held my case etc...and I'm wondering how to get rid of em. They don't look nice. :D Thanks

windex and a towel, oh aluminium you should be able to rub em off with a cloth or a micro fiber cloth, and some huffing on it.

Windex isn't good for aluminum. Can't remember why but I just wouldn't recomend doing it. Rubbing alcohol and a paper towel works great.

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 01:58 PM

I'll wait for a few more opinions. Don't wanna ruin my new baby!

Ketxxx Oct 28, 2006 02:38 PM

warm damp soapy soft cloth should do the trick, just remember to dry after wiping :p

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 02:40 PM

Or else?

Ketxxx Oct 28, 2006 03:03 PM

even aluminium rusts :p

Chewy Oct 28, 2006 03:05 PM

you could end up with watermarks, remember damp not soaked warm water,

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 03:34 PM

Okay :D Thanks

what kind of aluminum do you have? brushed? mirror finish? lacquered? anodized?

DaMulta Oct 28, 2006 03:39 PM

Did you become a man and mover your old PC to a new case??

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 03:40 PM

It looks kind of like it has loads of lines. Brushed?

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 03:42 PM

I'm cleaning it up first. This is my PC stripped down, so I can remove all the stuff. yesterday I spent last night figuring out which cables connect to where. I'm doing it next weekend, when I have time.

This is my old HP case. I cut it up.
Removed the extra hd tray and some other crap.:D

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 05:21 PM

That's freakin' sweet! What did you cut it with? And where in the hell is the hard drive now?

That's right the hd is at the back of the case.
When you look at your case you'll see that most things are popped together.
If you drill them out, then you can remove the tray and some other things.:)

Oh yeah for cutting just use a small saw blade.

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 07:17 PM

So you're trying to tell me his hard drive is inside that thing with the 2 fans on it?

Casheti Oct 28, 2006 07:18 PM

Yeah, I see what you mean

Azn Tr14dZ Oct 28, 2006 07:37 PM

Nice comp Casheti! Seriously, major upgrades. I bet it looks great.

technicks Oct 28, 2006 08:26 PM

It's my old comp. This is my new one. Not finished. Has to be painted.
But didn't had the time to do it.
