Finishing wiring for the rad fans (red LED, silver anodized).

There is you go progbuddy.

Anyways, looks great. I can't wait to see it all done!

everybody is hammering me for not posting (other forums too )

So here is ONE more teaser, it's really coming together, very nearly done.

Yes, it's fuzzy, no, there is no flash, but there is red paint there, and the shell is almost done, and the wiring is completed, and the Mouse is installed, and the G-15 just needs a little TLC before it's 100%.

I just about forgot to make my second case handle Doh!

So I pounded the sucker out tonight (bench vise and rubber mallet). Turned out pretty dang close to the first one, kind of surprised.

Files, tapped, and fit onto the Qmicra. I just have let the adhesive on the Eclipse window cure, and I am ready to assemble for the final time.

The work list completed:
dome openings cut
eclipse opening cut
top lettering cut
radiator openings cut
LOTS of filing on the above
2000 and 2500 grit sanding on all exterior surfaces prep for Red and Clear coat
Painting Red and Clear coats
Fitting watercooling wiring preliminary layout
Trimming PCIe, SATA, Floppy, and fan cables for electronics layout
Sleeving visible wiring, and mounting wire guides
change out blue LEDs in Radiator fans to red LEDs
solder Power, LED, Reset and HDD LED connections since the crimp ons are (sorry PCDLab) kind of sucky
trim and solder internal USB for the Matrix Orbital PLED device
paint Matrix Orbital faceplate and DVD shell
put casters on (I like it, makes it very easy to move around the desk for stuff)
wire TopShelfLabs LED controller and toggle switches for faceplate
make LED holders for the Dome lighting, and wire for power
etch Earth and Lunar geography onto Domes
some Tubing stuff
disassemble and paint Logitech Revolution Mouse
disassemble and mod Logitech G-15 keyboard (wiring, paint, other stuff)
TAP plastics cut DVD stealth plate in Red Acrylic w/bevels
tubing, watercooling layout, t-line location, radiator placement and brackets, fan adhesion, fan grills, fan labels (for center sticker)
make new side handles from barstock, drill, tap, file, and fit for grip
program Matrix with clever sayings and Eclipse countdowns
hardware stuff
software stuff
games, drivers, updates, patches, and controllers
find out 7950GX2 isn't working up to spec
other little things that I haven't shown you yet

Tomorrow!! 8-10pm Pacific. After I load in, meet and greet, I am starting a massive update landslide!

Gobs of photos, and if you all want a real 56k-killer, I can post them at full resolution (7.2MP, max quality jpeg).

Thanks for your patience, keep an eye out tomorrow night.

If you're posting things that size, we'd all appreciate thumbnailing...it means you have to host smaller versions of your pics though. Wrap your url around [IMG] tags to get it to work.

yah, more of a joke really, i stick to 800X600 for clarity and BW tradeoffs.

There will be a LOT of pics to catch up on tonight and tomorrow, so I will probably thumbnail the anchors.

No one has see the G-15 yet, the final assembly, the Mouse, etc....tons to show.

Later today, finally!
