    Wooow! I would lock that pice in a display cabinet just to not break it. And you really want to BEND it? (Says the guy who cuts away corners of his GeForce-card)

    Not to myself: I need a laser-cutter!!

    to be cut in is what a gforce card is best at
    is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

    Took the day off from work today to celebrate the ol B-Day, and what better way, than to move ahead on the mod!
    First thing up is that in order for me to get most of these bends proper, I build a wooden jig that I could heat the acrylic up on and not worry about damaginf the joints in the rad. Last thing I wanted to do was do something that caused joints in the rad to unsweat...

    1st pic is the acrylic laying ontop of my wooden rad/bending jig:


    Started heating the corners and applying even pressure to the side:




    Eyeballing the other side.....



    And my first 4 bends are completed! YAY!!!! (wipes sweat)




    Tomorrow, I'll try to get the rad into the acrylic and see how sturdy this is, and what I need to do to get it mounted into the roof section. I've got a plan, I just have to see if it will work!

    I've still gotta finish the bends to see how well it attaches to the top of the case... I may end up having to remake this acrylic to a different dimension. If I have to do it again, then you can count on the fact that I will use a local water jetter to cut this (same person that did DST). Or else I will have to source a larger wattage laser cutter. I already have the sheet of acrylic ready if this does not turn out well, but I'm going to do my very best to make this work! I am certainly not going to waste all the effort that my friend put into cutting this!

    Damn, I'm happy to have finally bent this stuff!

    Oh yeah, and to pinpoint the heat, I used a propane torch. My heat gun was too broad. I needed pinpoint heat application to make sure I did not have unnecessary bowing and shift in the acrylic.
