@viralbug - Thank You.
UPDATE - 29/12/2011
As most of the sleeving was done,it's time for the most enjoyable part of the build REASSEMBLY.
so,let's begin
Starting off with the chassis.
Silly me i forgot to take pics before reinstalling it's feet & HDD Cage
anyways here is the chassis with HDD Cage & Feet installed
Notice the orientation of HDD Cage,it's changed to hide more cables :thumbsup:
the HDD Locking Mechanism was also painted to metallic orange as in this pic
Time to install Small yet important Parts of the chassis
the power,reset switch PCB is installed on a metal base plate,which i also got painted in orange for highlight
here's the pic of metal base plate painted
and with PCB installed
Time to mount it on the case
Done
Next is the power & HDD activity LED.
i had to install them in these holes
since the chassis was painted,all the layers of primers,paint & clearcoat made the hole a little bit smaller resulting in LED's not getting in.
so,had to take small piece of sandpaper & had to sand off the paint a bit & SUCCESS :throwup:
same was the case with the front bezel,a transparent pin of some sort was used to improve the LED illumination,even it was harder to get it into as sand paper would not work here
then i saw my screwdriver tool kit & found a star shaped attachment which was perfect for the job
grinded the paint slowly using this & it was in
now,it was on to front bezel locking mechanism.
some plastic modules were used to hold the bezel in place.
same was the case here the paint got on it & had to sand it as well
3 down,1 more to go :yesss:
all done :excellent:
even for now the fan sticker design was not final,but it could put the build on hold till decided.
solution - use what i have for now & change it later on.
so,here we are
the back side of the fan
one fan installed with fan sticker
both of them
yes,it does illuminates in reflection :fireworks:
time for marrying the top panel to the chassis. :wedding:
This was the first time after tear up that the top panel is going to be mounted on the chassis,but there was a problem
you see the clearance wasn't enough for the cable,not even 1mm to be practical
so,had to change the orientation of the fan & fan stickers to make it work :builder:
and it was in
i was so much into the build that i even forgot that i had M4 Flange Nuts.
so, i swapped to fans nyloc nuts with em.
something is missing in this picture,hmm what could it be
ohh,it's the side panel vibration dampeners
time to change stickers on Xigmatek Fans
securing fans using fan vibration dampener
since,PC A 70F has support for 2x140mm fans in the front,i had to make another convertor out of metal sheet to house 2x120mm fans.
reason is Xigmatek 140mm orange fans aren't available in our country.
here's the pic of the metal plate if you recall
mounting the fans back in
let's put it back together & see how it looks
Looks Good.
then goes in the air filters
All Done here.
More to come soon.
