Working guts

Well, its been a while, and I havent been bothered updating the "blog", however I have the case running here and playable. This info is nearly a week old - been updating all my PC's (barring my fileserver) to Windows 7 RC and hammering out the last season of Battlestar Galactica. If BSG gets any more awesome I may poop myself. Stupid me for thinking it was a cheap Star Trek knockof when I saw it in the TV Guide.

The wiring, temporary instalation of the components (As it has to be painted its all temporary) using stick-on clips and tabs. It may sound stupid to do it twice, however it has the following key advantages:

• Any failures now can be rectified for the final
• I can trial how it all fits and make changes
• All the wiring will be carefully taken out and put back in - making the final version a 'quick' affair
• I WANT IT WORKING NOW! IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE FEBURAY DAMMIT

Components installed and working. Ready to play!

Had to slice the corners of the PS2 M-M cable to get it through the hole we drilled

I adhesive clipped the Hard drive to the roof of the box. The zip-ties gave me something to clip to.

The security-lock from behind. Certaintly not the best soldering, but functional

First steps

Got around to doing a clip of the case as shown below. I crap on a bit about the making of it.



Also started on the wiring a bit. Not much details to be had really on this part - wiring up a IPAC isnt hard.
