This post was published 3 years 9 months 12 days ago and as such probably does not reflect my current opinions, knowledge or ability.There have been quite a few changes to Project Frostbyte, my computer case mod, since I last uploaded any pictures.
First of all, my new blue UV-reactant acrylic arrived from Hindleys. It’s a much more vivid colour than the stuff I was using before, so even though this means repeating some work I’m glad I switched.
That meant it was time to start work on a piece to go on my side panel.
As you can see my cutting isn’t all that neet – I wish I had a smaller bit for my not-quite-a-Dremel.
Eventually I got the whole piece cut out, now it just needs some filing down and sanding.
And since I was filing this with the rotary-tool-which-isn’t-a-Dremel, I really regretted cutting this shape. How am I meant to get into that corner?
After some time though, I got it all filed smooth, which meant it was time to start sanding by hand.
Luckily, Phil was willing to help. For a while.
Here’s where the piece is going to sit – on the side panel in front of the window. There’s going to be a similar piece on the back side as well. The piece looks a bit long here, but actually the front panel of the case sticks out quite a bit and needs to be covered as well…
…Though in fact, the piece was about a centimeter too long. Time for a trim.
Much better 
But still much more work to go.
“For a while”? I sanded most of that piece so far
I’ll do a bit more later, I promise. It’s looking good at the moment, best get back to work
