The final stages were then undertaken - including the connecting of the ATX power, IDE and Molex connectors to their various sockets. The hub was installed, as well as the RJ45 cabling. All five computers connect to each other through this hub and also to a remote console across the network.
I created a custom trolley out of some old aluminium window linings, simply cut to the desired length with holes drilled to accommodate M5 thread section then bolted together. The trolley is needed as the Rendiathon weighs 25 Kg in total - making it hard to move about easily.
The wheels were stolen from an old IKEA table we had bashing about. Notice some slight angle-grinding work under the wheels to prevent scraping of the wheels when swivelling.
The wheel systems themselves are pop-riveted onto the aluminium section. A rubber pad was also added to prevent scratching and slip when in contact with the Rendiathon.
The trolley in its natural environment supporting the Rendiathon!
I then had to start the process of testing and setup.
