After the first round of filing to take the sharp edges down. I tried to get my wife to snap some pics while I was cutting, but she was scared. I had a couple of wheels fly apart on me. I'll get some more tomorrow after I get some more filing done. I didn't realize how hard this part would be.:hmpf:

I forgot how much I hate to paint. I went and got the case so I could do some more work.

Where did the memory go? I can't believe they made it camo.

A little hole added, and a coat of paint. I'm not very happy with the finish, but oh well. I'll try and get some of the bezel pieces in a bit.

WOW, looks like you have A LOT of red paint on that thing (as in many layers)!

Actually it's only 2 coats of Chevy orange.

Guess it's just the way the light is in the picture then. Either way, looking forward to some more progress (and better pics)

[Beetle Bailey]

Should be able to resume my progress on this very soon. Even though, I have been using it. My new parts for the air compressor are suppose to be in tomorrow. As soon as I get that back together, I should be able to finish it up pretty easy. Also just found out that a co-worker has a friend that dose Powder Coating. He's going to check on a price for me for my next project. It will be my daughters first actual computer. I already have most of the components. Just need the pricing. He seems to think he can get it done for free if I go ahead and prep everything. So I will be starting another just before I start MY actual build. I already have a few ideas for the Antec 900 in mind. Bailey.

Coool! I love the texture and finish of powder coating, especially black powder coat. I have a few items around here, including handles that were powder coating.

I look forward to those pics!
