finally sat down and fixed up the new 5.25" bay. The U-brackets were functional, but not as stable as I liked, and looked like s**t, tbh. Thankfully I had a bunch of aluminum left over from cutting the box down, http://www.promuksale.com/ - http://www.promuksale.com/ . I just used a lid portion, http://www.prom4gown.com/ - prom dress stores online , cut down a wall a bit, then cut to dimension and bent the second wall. The 24"x24" piece of mesh I bought from Bill is getting a bit thin, however! Currently kinda pissed with myself, http://www.weddingonlineuk.com/ - wedding dresses online shopping , been slow about working on anything figuring I'd play hell getting weather I could paint in, anyway. Last 3 days have been in the 50's and low humidity.
The bay is flush with the top, save the right-rear corner which has been cut down to be flush with the bottom of the 200mm fan. Bills fancy ruler (which was also very useful with the 5, http://loudinfo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=323058 - http://loudinfo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=323058 .25" templates on it) doubled nicely as a base spacer (3.5mm thick, I need 4mm final), http://www.weddingpartyuk.com/ - simple wedding dresses . I will use Tape of the Gods and 3mm neoprene for final mounting.
Also working on fake vacuum tubes. I can fit 2-4 in front of the SSD, and another 2 behind the 5.25" bays. REAL tubes would cost a mint and require a transformer and yet another wall plug. Fake sounds better to me, http://www.cectest.com/plus/view.php?aid=14144 - http://www.cectest.com/plus/view.php?aid=14144 . Mach (from The Mod Brothers) helped me with some inspiration via his wireless key for Retromod, http://www.weddingonlineuk.com/ - cheap wedding dresses uk . Gonna refine it a bit and see what I come up with.
Christmas was good to me. Got lots of mod toys. Pancake compressor, mini pneumatic sawzall, heat gun, airbrush, and a full set of Dremel-size router bits:
