Sorted most wires still need to sort out the speakers and top mounted fan, getting there :) had to mod the PSU as it only came with 3 sata and 1 floppy connection but needed molex for the fans, cut off the floppy end, used a old 3 molex connection off a dead PSU,soldered and heat shrunk, knew they would come in handy some day ;D fitted my led power switch, again modded the OEM cable, made an error as i forgot to put on the locking nut for the switch before soldering, nothing a little hot glue can't fix ;D found a old fire guard in a skip, ideal to use for the mesh to protect the fan and speakers :D the banding that holds the CPU fan/speakers/SSD and plug strip is - http://www.screwfix.com/p/galvanised-band-12mm-x-10m/18298?kpid=18298&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&cm_mmc=Google-_-Shopping%20-%20Electrical-_-Shopping%20-%20Electrical&gclid=CNqIn6y-1scCFU-NGwodeJQAXA&kpid=18298 got loads left, very useful stuff and pretty cheap. Done more in the last few days than i have in the last few years lol |

To mount the motherboard i cut out the tray from the bottom of the SFF pc,screwed that to the mdf then screwed on the motherboard, simply job and saved time :) also cut out the OEM serial key then recycled the rest ;D |

Wired up the control panel ;D firstly, it was wrapped in some cheapo (£1.49) wrap from Lidl ;), got a slight texture to it,will see how it wears. tidied up the wires as i was going, made a slight error as the button that will be P2 start is a little stretched see middle picture, still works :) Used 1"x1" softwood to support the panel, used some Type D insert nuts and M4 countersunk machine screws,like these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M4-Countersunk-CSK-Head-Allen-Socket-Screws-High-Tensile-BLACK-Pack-of-20-/400258269297?var=670017656776&hash=item5d31408071 to secure it, may need to add one to the bottom middle as there is some flex :-\ Just the monitor surround and marquee,got some ideas, will try a few out ;D |
