Sunday was a office working day for me.. so dont have much to update

Just purchased a DVD Drive and colored it

A card reader and few internal front panel cables..

These cables are too short for my case.. So made some custom long cables
First Front panel cable

Extra long com port connector

Extra long front USB header cable, made from old Logitech wireless key-mouse receiver..
works perfect:

Thanks

For last few days working on evaporator..
Have destroyed two solid Copper Cylinders worth Rs 4000/- + in making evaporator..
(First wrong measurements and second bad alignment.. my fault)

Have ordered third copper cylinder piece..

Sunday update:

Worked late night and finished all major holes creating work on the case and PSU holder plate also done.
Now in morning testing all fittings.

First some good Black M4 5/6 Screws for fan and Phase changer Controller installed ..

The Phase changer controller can be programmed for ten preset settings.
I have set three settings.
One for max oc.. maintain lowest possible temperature.
Second -2 degree for normal OC
And finally 6 degree for normal working.
It will control the compressor and the condenser fan according to preset setting.

Now here comes my bad luck in action.
Controller is working fine . I have programmed it to start my test PSU at 40 degree C , which in turn start all four 140 fans.. cool..
But everything not went like this .
First mistake I selected same single color wires for all AC test wiring. (One must take different color wire for AC , line neural and earth ) then somehow I connected the main AC wires to the controller in such a way that it created a shot circuit better say a big blast and a black out in the house , as soon as I increased the temperature on the sense to 40 degree.
I have killed my brand new controller… Don’t have words to shout on myself
Even after two hours, one can sense a PCB burning type smell in whole house.

Very bad Sunday .. Anyhow tried some cable sleeve one few old Fans.. first time sleeve so please don’t mind it.

Man, Am I speechless!

There are those like us who cant even move the bum from the chair and call ourselves technologists and then there are super-cool gurus like you who keep raising the bar with everything they do!

Proud to have even had an opportunity to meet you in person sir.

*respect* :bow:
