Well now the BIOS seems to be set up and everything is running silky smooth it was time to move onto getting the rest of the case sorted out....
Its been seen three times before but its always nice to keep a record of it so here goes with the window mod
Starting of with covering the side panel with masking tape
and using the template from the
Ventmaster
to draw the outline of the window
and then using the biggest drill bit my drill can take i drilled a starter hole for the jig-saw
and here it is cut out and ready to mask up for paint.
Just a couple of wafts of primer as i didn't want to build up to much paint
which would create a build up between the masking tape ant the metal so it this is what it looked like close up after primer.
Didn't take long for the primer to go off in this weather so straight onto the blue which was the same paint i used for the pump
which isn't an exact match but close enough as its just the very edge that's being painted.
Once that had dried.....flipped it over and added double sided sticky around the edge....
...and added a mirror window which is basically the same used on car screens from Halfords (UK car shop)
And there you have it......i'll get the whole case machine polished in a couple of day and may even do another window as that mirror film is a nightmare to work with and ended up with a few bubbles
but looks good all the same
BTW there bags of gravel in the reflection the my bro keeps dropping off here........don't ask - it'll get sorted im told
