Update no.3

Hi guys, here's another update of my guitar project!

This time round i have wired the PSU in, and the power button & reset button.
also mounted the HDD.

Here we go..

The power and reset buttons. Both are LED push buttons.



Buttons and power cable to wire PSU in.







My soldering kit :D



My holding tool.. yes i know its pink!





Power cable in.







I used these connector blocks just incase i ever need to remove the PSU.



Testing to make sure i did it right lol

















Don't worry that you can still see the hole, once painted and filled, it was never there!





Wiring in the LED's for the power buttons, had to salvage some molex connectors from a old power supply lol





Testing, and working! :)



500GB SATA Seagate HDD, taken from a TIVO box :).
i also used the mounts from the TIVO box because it had rubber gromits, so would stop a lot of vibration from picking the guitar up.



Iv decided to mount the HDD on the rear cover.



with some super sticky adhesive.



Plenty of weight to hold it down lol



last but not least, abit of cable managment to see how it all looks and fits.



Thats it for now, not a huge update, but every little helps.

see you next time :).

New update!

Not a lot happening in this one, but need to keep you updated with what im doing so here it is!

i didnt manage to get a "slot loading" drive, but i did have this lying around, so i stripped it down.























Video of the magic button :D (Don't know how to get this to play on the forums, so it hyper-links it to my photobucket page.







Now for the USB and Audio PCB :)


















Some serious cable management! :D



Everything in place and as it stands at the minute!



Thats it for now, iv just ordered a ASUS GT210 1GB Low profile GPU and PCI-E Extender cable.

so that will be my next update once they arrive (hopefully tuesday).

Once i have done that, its then onto making sure it all works 100% and everything has a place.

then tidying and spraying the case :)
Dont' worry about the way things look when it comes to the holes and cd draw, they will look better once i get round to the case ;)

Then final pictures will be revealed in the "Reserved" post at No.2.

im happy to take any ideas and suggestions towards colours, or designs.

Thanks for looking :0, see you next time!

EDIT: Sorry about the blurry photo's :(

Looks great, as for colours I just finished spraying my electric guitar in a BMW graphite grey metallic and it looks the business. I don't know if that is the look your going for or if you want too keep the wood look that would be very cool too. If it was me I would definitely keep the two tone look so that the back and sides are different from the front as I think it really helps show of the guitars shape better than one solid colour.
