Project Beauty & Madness (Part 12)

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I’d post pictures but I can’t seem to find my Compact Flash card…I don’t know where I put it, hehehe. Anyway, I’m done sleeving the 24-pin cable and most of the cables. I ran out of heat shrink and I’ll probably buy a couple of 1/8″ tomorrow. I’m also going to order a lot of replacement screws for the case since most of the anodized finish is gone on some of them and it wouldn’t look good if I painted them, hopefully Lian Li sells them separately. Hopefully I can post pictures tomorrow since I’ve riveted most of the computer case.

Sleeving Cables Can Be A Big Pain In The Ass

Seriously, wow! I can’t believe I haven’t remove a single pin in the 24-pin connection from the PSU after one hour. I used to be able to sleeve PSU’s really fast but how come I can’t do it anymore? I’m used the stapler technique and I used the tools Iv’e bought to make sleeving easier but still! The freaking pins won’t buldge. I’m losing my patience…I really am.

Finally! The final coat’s done and it’s time to rivet them all together again, I’m still waiting for the motherboard tray, fan grills, and screws so it will still be awhile. Anyway, I’ve been getting busier and busier lately and I am having less and less time for this project so updates may be slower now. Rest assured though that I’m going to finish this project. I have yet to have an unfinished project in my adult life!

Project Beauty & Madness (Part 10)

Almost everything is here now, and I’m about to do the final coat on the parts before I put on two to three coats of clear on them.  I’ll take some pictures once I’m done with the final coat, I’ll probably be able to post it later if ever. Alas all I can show you guys is this…
