The Left Handed Build

[TheCenturion]

Thanks Shayper.
I am just happy that Mrs P has stopped asking me about what I am spending.
She just wants the back bedroom back as it was.

Slap her face and then ask her if she still wants the back bedroom back as it was*


*This advice may lead her to beating the crap out of you

That doesn't sound very nice... I am sure she is a lovely lady... as well as being a very understanding one!

I take it you haven't visited GD

 

[Montala]

I take it you haven't visited GD

But of course... and what a charming, amusing and polite group of members I found there... oh, hang on... perhaps that was somewhere else altogether!

 

[Shayper]

Is that why she's an ex-girlfriend?

Haha no.

Unfortunately being at opposite ends of the country due to uni was the cause

Bummer, but not that uncommon in my experience I am afraid.

At the risk of raising all the tsumnami jokes again, there are plenty more in the sea....

lovely! Is it going to be one color or is there going to be a custom paint job?

Are you talking about Shayper's next girlfriend or the project?

I am not sure domestic violence is the way forward.
Not sure I will be a battered husband, as I am 1.9 mts tall & she is only 1.65 mts.
(I think she would have to play dirty)

Yes Montala, Mrs Piggin is a wonderful woman, who I love very much (even though she does nags a little)

Thanks marc
Its going to be very custom

I am in talks with different sprayers @ this time

Pahaha stop making me laugh, lager on keyboards is not fun

I'm 165 cm too. Me v Mrs P would be a fairer fight then

Your build is going to be awesome mate, can't wait

This is amazing! And to think i'm only just about to put together my first build and there are people building from scratch properly! Love it!

Can't wait to see more and love the tales of Mrs Piggin!

You really missed a trick with the "shelf" computer then - you could have placed it out of reach, thereby avoiding fried Mrs. P and keeping your computing going.

I think you will have age on your side & Mrs P has the experience.
Could be a close fight.
But you must always remember girls fight dirty & know how to hurt a man (in the wallet)

Thanks David, I have lots of tales about Mrs Piggin (could right a book but would not be about relationship advice )
I don't know if it would be a best seller but it would be interesting.

Very good point m8.
I should have put it on the top shelf of the desk completely out of her reach.
That would have cut the credit card bill down on ebay.

As I have previously owned a Mountain Mods case, I know how hard it is to do cable management correctly.
As this case is based on a MM design (very loosely) I realised that I had to put something in place to rectify this problem.
After some thought, I decided to put a false panel behind the motherboard tray.


Panel cut to size with an area cut out, to keep the rear of the CPU cool

To hold it in position, I used some 20mm U section aluminium

U section drilled & fitted with the good old rivet nuts

False panel marked out & drilled to match the U sections.

False panel bolted to U sections

The rear of the U section was then marked out

U section drilled

Motherboard panel drilled to attach U sections

U sections attached to motherboard tray with countersunk pop rivets

False panel fitted in place

Now I have a 25mm gap between the rear of the motherboard tray & the false panel to hide all my cables.

I wish my Silverstone Sugo had one of those!

You may have mentioned this before, but are you going to have it powder coated on completion?

I made some enquiries about that recently, with a view to improving the appearance of my case... but ended up getting our wrought iron gates done instead!

 

[piggin]

Montala, some of the case will be powder coated & the rest will be wet sprayed.

As for the gates, nice mod

I like this idea, but is 25mm going to be big enough to get your trotters in to feed the cables through?

 

[Shayper]

I shall say again, fantastic project mate
