Thanks for the feedback guys!

Picking up the panels from the plater today.. I will keep ya'll updated on how they turned out.. of course!

I'll be mounting Round Modders Mesh on the back side of the openings in the milled side panel doors.

The small steel plates were spot welded onto the mesh, these will serve as AMD badges.



These triangular pieces were spot welded together. They mount inside the large side vents

Ok, heres the first of many doses of chrome goodness as I go through my progress photos from yesterday...

This is the mock airfoil/heatsink piece for the top panel.

Thats just Chrome pron Bill
Kudoz to an amazing job done so far!
So whats next Bro?

I try not to clutter up your worklogs with my useless comments but I just have to say this is looking SWEET :-)

Appreciate the comments dudes! I love hearing your comments. They fuel me through the long work days. Thank you!

No worries mate! I really appreciate hearing the feedback. Too many lonely hours spent inside this room with only tools to talk to can drive a guy nuts.

Received an update from my AMD contact. It sounds like I should be expecting some parts to arrive on Monday. "The hardware spec for CeBit highlight will be our Spider Platform with Quad CrossFire (Phenom + 790FX + 2x 3870 X2" I will say that things have changed with every update I get from AMD that I wouldn't be surprised if something else arrived. Still no confirmation if/when I'll receive HDs, Mem, PSU, sound, or Optical drives..

2, 3870s

Those new cards from Ati look promissing!

Ya know if ya ever get one of them bored moments Bill ya can always hit me up on msn
I can't wait to see the next update, ( On any of your projects hehe. )
I always look forward to seeing what you've been up to while I've been countin' sheep ( Stupid time differance lol )

Thanks Paul! It's never boring, just feels like the 4 walls are closing in at times

Got your PM, no worries dude.

I wayyy underestimated the time that would be involved in the assemble of the case yesterday. Started late at 4pm and had to call it quits at midnight.. I forgot that all of thread holes in the chrome plated parts had to be re-taped. That along with missing odd-ball screws (4/40 x 1/2") among others, were misplaced or lost. Spent an hour at the local hardware store searching for fasteners.. In any case, heres some of the Bling that awaits assembly

What you're looking at in these pics, flawless chrome plating on the corner of AGP Vent, The left side access panel pieced together temporarily... Note, like the top panel in my last update, the recessed portions of the panel will offset with matte black vinyl. We didn't have time to paint, so the next best solution was matte black vinyl..The mesh will be painted Matte Black, to help offset the chrome, add depth to the reinforced features. Even with all of the Black bakground, this will be the most "Blinged-Out" computer evar.

Below, you're looking at the assembly of the left AGP vent, 120mm Aerocool fan sandwiched inside, but this fan will ultimately be replaced with Zalman w/ green leds I'm still waiting to arrive..

Wow Bill ...just freakin' wow.

CHROME MADNESS!!!!!! Now it weighs a TON!

Thanks Dudes!, Carlos aka "guru from planetamd64", owner of the largest AMD community on the web, has booked his flight for Minneapolis to come to Mnpctech to install the new Phenom launch system. The Ultimate AMD system builder arrives at The Ultimate Case Mod Shop. Local Intel fans with factory pre-mods shall feel an uneasy presence on this day.

Damn.........Gonna need to hand out welding goggles to view in direct sunlight

Awesome design and finish work.....

Truly a day long over due for AMD, fans, and the doubters....I due find it ironic that AMD products are currently holding the record for 3DMark '06.

Thank you Dudes!
