Buying printer paper so I could print the MameWah documentation would be a fine start though......

oooh oooh! Here's what we'll do, we'll combine our resources and evil plots! Gimme your address, I'll ship you the paper, you learn everything, and then create MY MameWah stuff too, and then when Mrs Bones comes to visit, she can hand deliver it and show me how to install it and whatnot. Emphasis on whatnot

Originally I was just going to rely on hot air rising out of a gap I left at the top of the cab. See diagram.
But a few weeks ago I changed my mind and decided my monitor should have all the protection it can from the hot Aussie summers so I purchased two 12volt 120mm fans that should help generate some airflow.
Today I mounted the two fans. The plan was to mount them onto one of the back panels that is completely removable and held in place by T-nuts. Because this panel is removable I really wanted to avoid having to unplug cords when the panel is removed so I came up with a way to do it with aluminium foil but was advised against it in the main forum. Aluminium foil link
After a long search and failing to find something suitable at the electronics shops I decided to just wire the fans in the traditional manner with a long cord that can reach some distance from the cabinet when the panel is removed.
The fan grills are actually speaker grills I seen today while I was out looking. They cost $4.00ea and I think they look OK. They came with a black ring to hide the edges of the metal mesh which I removed. I might try them on and see how they look.
Don't know why the black paint looks so crappy.....the flash seems to show things I can't see in person.
Bones:
I also did some soul searching today regarding the mounting of the stuff inside the cab which includes the PC, monitor isolation transformer, 12volt power supply & subwoofer.
I have decided to mount the PC in the same fashion as per Project Arcade. I will also screw the monitor isolation transformer down into the cabinet floor.
The subwoofer and 12volt transformer I will just leave sitting in place. If for any reason the cab has to be moved or laid over, I am prepared to remove all the inside components.
I hope to have the innards mounted one night this week. (No more daytime cab building, my three week holiday is over and it's back to work tomorrow. All I needed was another week and I would be finished :'()

OK, I will bite. While I am very familiar with Guiness I have NO clue what 'Filthy Tucker' from Chinatown is. I hope it isn't something you need penecillin for :)

I have been on holidays for the last three weeks and tomorrow is officially my last day but I will be spending it with Mistasmiff drinking Guinness in Sydney and gorging myself on filthy tucker from Chinatown..

Sometimes penicillin may be required if you get some really filthy tucker.
