ok guys i promise i havnt forsaken you.  the work on the project has slowed to a complete stop with christmas shopping, and moving my girlfriend back home.  its been a busy couple of weeks, but i guess we've all come to expect that by now.  tonight i mounted the door for the usb cover, and i also extended the dvd drive power cable.  in light of recent events and time constraints ive decided to go with one hdd (that leaves room for wetbox rev. II for all of you who have followed this mod).  eminevil, i really would like to post some pics of it together, but im probably going to get it painted before i put it back together (chances are that will be the final build, so... keep your fingers crossed).  i know someone who will be able to spray it now, so i should have that done sometime after the holidays.  ill put up some pics tomorrow.  thanks for staying tuned.

THIS TOPIC ROCKS MAN.  MAD PROPS AND WISH YOU A HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[haloloser]

neb, yes you can expect some pics before the new year.  i was going to work on it some last night, but i helped my mom bake christmas goodies instead .

Capon, thanks man, and i really appreciate it.  i rock the merry christmas in this thread, so boo to the people who are trying to get rid of it.

[haloloser]

ive been working at a groolingly slow pace, but its almost finished.  THATS BESIDE THE POINT.  IDE JUST LIKE TO SEND YOU ALL SOME HOLIDAY CHEER.



i know that merry is spelled incorrectly, it was a typo that im too lazy to fix.

Fantastic job, i just read all 21 pages, i need a eyebreak lol.

[jagermike]

yeah finsh it so we can see the final product
been waiting too long

[haloloser]

im so sorry for the lack of picture updates guys.  ive gotten alot done, including the final say on how the front will look (a major concern as it need to be painted very soon).  im about to go on a trip for a few days, and when i return i will flood the thread with all the most recent information and photos.  

in other news, i got my capture card hooked up.  i have to say that is one really neat piece of technology.  if you dont know much about them, and you watch alot of tv (or just want to make a montage) id have to say that its worth doing a little bit of research on.

THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE!!!!!!!!

ive been pretty busy over the holidays, as i expect most of you have.  ive been workin on it here and there, but hopefully tuesday will be paint day.  then all ill have to do is put it together, and wire it up.  ive learned alot from this mod, and probably the thing that ive gotten most from it is simplicity is the key.  you can still have a very elegant (spelling?) design, and keep the construction very simple.  


a pic of my christmas present.  the sooner the xbox is finished the sooner ill be able to start on this.

specs:
msi k8n sli w/ nforce for chipset
amd 3700+
2 x 512mb corsair xms
evga 7800gt
danger den tdx, and maze 4 cpu and gpu waterblocks
obviously a tuner card
34gb raptor
soon to be 2 x 80gb WD caviar in RAID 0

this is my first build, and im super excited to begin.


i dont know if you guys remember the front of the case, but the traped door was on a seperate piece.  there was also an unsightly power assembly that i had to deal with.  it took me a while to come up with such a simple solution, but you can thank this for the time inbetween the updates.


as you can see i glued, and bondoed the pieces together for a much smoother look, and also got rid of the nasty buttons.  in the top right you may see some discoleration of the primer, but i  assure you that its smooth.


the power and eject buttons will go under the trapped door.  test fit of the power or eject, dunno which.


i routed out a channel for the hinge to fit in.  here is a pic showing how it will work.


finally psu shield w/ temp lcd mounted.


ive used quite a few of these little lcds.  i really like them.


i was taking some screen shots of halo 2 to try and get some ideas for signs to use on the upcoming pc project.  i stumbled accross this, and i thought that you guys might be able to appreciate this.  this is the messege you get when you open the gate on zanzebar.

ps.  the dog is a shi tzu
