Case, Panels and Painting Part 3

An aluminium angle iron was cut and ground down to make the brackets for holding the hard drives, power supplies and fans. Rivets were used to hold everything together.


The bracket for one of the optical drives was completed and below is one of two completed frames for the hard drives. Each computer would sport three SATA hard drives.



Case electronics were next. Six Super Ultra-Bright 5mm LEDs, in two parallel series were used to light up the case.




Grooves were cut to make room for the wires as the clearance in the case was less than an 1/8in. Belgin switches were used for power and reset switches.
