Default yea im a noob? WB learning process. autocad



Im looking for info on how its looking at this stage? What thickness copper ill need, and how deep to drill. I have access to a quality drill press, and will use a dremel for the channels. No access to a mill of any sort.

Kind of winging it out here...

Block is for an athlon xp, socket A motherboard

http://www.we-r-here.com/cad/tutorials/level_1/1-1.htm

Is the course i used after i Downloaded autocad 2006

if you need the torrent, that you of course own the actual version of autocad 2006 already and just need the install as a backup, AIM at flintfireforge28

I did chapter one only over last night so i guess its a pretty good tutorial/course

Updated plan, looks better? I have access to a brideport milling machine of somesort or something that my dads friend is willing to teach me and allow me to use... So we'll see how it turns out? Seem too detailed? or not enough...

Not sure what your asking about details. To detailed or not detailed enough for what exactly?

File,
Just a suggestion to mount the block.



A bit off focus but I guess you can see it.


Just to have an idea of the size of the block.


I used a metal tape that is commonly used to wrap big boxes. It's very resistant and also somewhat flexible. The difficult part is to measure it correctly. Once you get it right just insulate it with tape, as I did, and the block will be securely in place. My block is sitting very nicely as in the picture for more than a month with no problems.

Good luck.
