Project R2-D2 PC

I cut the hole on the opposite side for the floppy. Then I shined a flashlight through.

Next, I cut the hole out of the front.

Fixed the pin stiping.

And here it is from the inside. As you can see, I'll be avoiding the use of drive bays to keep the clutter to a minimum.

I was going through some of my supplies when I found a box of handles!

Also, here's the power switch I want to use. Any idea on where I should mount it?

[TheGreatSatan]

The cable is too short

[Crimson Sky]

Make him a belly button, button.

I plugged my lower two intake, upper two intake fans, and floppy drive into the PSU and tidy up the wires.

And I finished mounting the floppy drive.

Also, here's the power switch I want to use. Any idea on where I should mount it?

I say on the underside of the body. It would be like those classic lowriders where the doors were smooth and you opened it by pushing a button on the underside.

One of the builders from the R2builders club used similar switches on his droid. Here's where he placed them

I removed the frame from the LCD.

So you can get an idea about how thick it is:

I cut out a new shroud that was bendable like R2's body.

Then I painted the LCD frame. The screen is covered with masking tape.

And the shroud has been painted with a white plastic primer. When it dries I will paint it blue and mount the whole thing inside.

I may have more pics tonight.

I think I want to add a Window to R2. I'm thinking right about here:

Maybe only half of the total square so the mobo could be seen. I will be using blue lights within R2 so that will at least go with the theme. I could also, put a Blue LED intake fan on the window.

What do you think?
