Building my first computer, Alternate title: where... does this.. go????

I loves the smell of cut metal in the morning

I’ve bought carbon paper home and will start tracing out for the case mod.

I won’t actually tape the case prior to cutting as I’m used to cutting bare metal.

I’m using a cutter we use in dental technology called a ‘Joe Dandy’. It’s a circle of abrasive material which is used with the dental handpiece and can cut metal easy, we use it on our Chrome Cobalt partial dentures.

I need to check out rubber edging and paint oh .. and nice bolt heads for the fans.

I will have to put pictures in as I go along.

I have the paint, evidently I’m ‘fully sick’ and my project the ‘sickest’ according to the young guy who I got the primer, colour and enamel paint from. 

Goodo!!  I believe.

It’s now Wednesday and I’ve spent nearly all day cutting out the case  and checking where I’m putting the front case fan and the top case fan.

Neighbours hate me this I KNOW…..etc.

Everything is coming along nicely, if slowly. Just can’t afford to muck it up.

I love being covered in dirt and really tired, great stuff.
