SCX (My at-X Box)
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 8:37 pm
Work has begun on SCX. Have got most of the work done on producing another of my ducted fan twin
HDD mounts. This one is slightly different from the previous ones, in that the copper back box is shallower;
but other than that it is similar to the one in SP3.
Still to be done is create one of my inline plugs for the fans and the soldering of the fan wires into the
pins that go in the fans plug. That will complete the actual internal HDD mount.
With that done, then I have to create something for it to mount on. Have already taken the measurements and
bought a couple of suitable pieces of stainless steel, which will require cutting, drilling, and bending to fabricate
the mounting point for the HDD mount.
When that is complete, the next step will be to take the measurements needed to fabricate the duct which will
vent the warmed air out of the back of the machine. Making that is going to be the hard part.
After that, it is a simple matter of putting together 3 separate dust filters, 1 for each of the 3 inward blowing fans
the machine will have; then tossing it all together.
