they should drive the car around the block and see if the tire fixes itself." [ src ] Note those brown parts of the CAD... where are those coming from? My old desk! I recently dismantled my desk because it no longer suits my needs (20" monitor + speakers didn't fit), so that left behind a whole load of particle board destined for the trash. I expect to get facepalms for my choice of materials but I designed the case in such a way that the particle board pieces will mostly be under compression loads rather than tension (especially when it comes to fasteners) so it should be OK. Here's a shot of me failing at using a band saw: I have a lot of material here to practice on This is the chopped HP case pieces with the two columns at the front like in the CAD: I didn't get a chance to hollow out the columns with a jigsaw yet, which I'll leave for when I've figured out exactly how to do the HDD mounts. That I'll do either before or after making the lower portion of the case where the PSU goes. I'm trying to incorporate the holding mechanism in on the bottom again so my scrap materials are not put under tension when carrying the case. __________________ "The computer programmer says they should drive the car around the block and see if the tire fixes itself."
