bend the edge and screw it

ok... I also suggest that you apply some silicon all around the frame, to reduce vibration, from the fans, carried to the case...

UPDATE

The frozenCPU.com order came in and here are some pics of the stuff:

The 2 front 80mm fan grills:

The fan controler:

The cathodes:

Also I got paint today:

So I am going to finish cutting out the outer case's window hole after I het the first coat of primer on the other components.

SkyKast · Nov 4, 2008

also, the fans should be here on the 6th and the rest of the grills on the 7th or 8th

it is all pointless without the mesh but I just ordered that so...

lol

tzitzibp · Nov 4, 2008

Very nice choices....you are on the right track!

btw what mesh have you ordered?

MKmods · Nov 4, 2008

that fan controller looks better in your pict than the one on the web site.

InnocentCriminal · Nov 4, 2008

Ooooh, interesting worlog. I'll be keeping my eye on how this turns out.

SkyKast · Nov 5, 2008

going to bed, i got the window all drawn out now just to cut it. a feat for tomorrow

P.S. I cant find a placeto paint, last time i spray painted in the basement i nearly passed out from fumes lol, its too cold outside....hmmm, I'll figure something out

theJesus · Nov 5, 2008

did you wear a mask last time?

SkyKast · Nov 5, 2008

theJesus said:

yah a particle mask but it stank up the whole house lol

SkyKast · Nov 6, 2008

here is the outer case, drawn on it is where I am going to cut the holes to put the windows

I thought I would leave the VAIO logo

MKmods · Nov 6, 2008

Thats a nice idea for the window.

Painting in the basement/closed room = Bad.. Make sure there is some type of ventilation.
(painting should be the absolutely last thing you do, get all ur cutting,fitting parts and basic design done first)
