Uuuupdate time!

First of all I gotta say thay my little quiz apparently was too easy. You guys are really into the He-Manage (I thought I was the only one, but guess not)

Well the correct answer is (drum roll please)

"Normally, he is the cowardly Cringer, but when Prince Adam transforms into He-Man, Cringer becomes the mighty Battle Cat."

Congrats to all of you that got it right. Sorry there are no prizes

Anywho how can you help yourself not loving the furry underwear? (dozing of imagining wearing furry He-Man underwear, ahhh)

Allrighty then! Time for the real update

First I wanna show you my new toyz. Can't live without a Dremel and a soldering iron (not if you wanna mod at least)

Faceplates taped (with masking tape) and the templates applied (with gluestick). Ready for drilling

Pilot holes drilled. Remember kids. Always drill pilotholes before drilling the real holes. Makes it much easier to correct stuff and makes sure that the big drill doesn't slip.

The drilling bench

Big holes drilled

Some of the faceplates drilled and screwed. Ready to be mounted

Table de la soldering (it's hard to tell but the book in the left corner is what I'm reading for school right now. Basics of Compiler Design

)

The Bulgin button I'm going to install (it's obviously red since my colorscheme is metal, black and red)

More Bulgin and the resistor thats going to be soldered to it (don't wanna burn it since those are expensive suckers)

Button faceplate ready and edges sanded (don't wanna cut myself).

Testfitting the Bulgin

I've also bought a bunch of High-Bright LED's (3000 mCd), holders, wires and some other stuff.

LED's assembled

THE HORROR! I just testfitted my faceplates and came to realize that Lian Li (those m*****f******!) didn't stick to standard measurements. This means that there are two fairly big gaps between my DualStars (if you know what I mean

) The gaps are about 1 cm each. NOOOOO!!

So I guess I have to figure out a way to make some kind of filler for those gaps (

perhaps I should cut a faceplate into 1 cm strips and stick them in there?) Well I'll have to think about that.

This is aprox. how it's going to look from the front when it's done though (LED's look off, but that's just because they haven't been screwed down yet and the bare faceplates are where the dvd drives are going to be)

Until next time.

Thx for reading
