[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 782067, member: 98509"] Hi guys, Thanks for the comments. Back panel - trial fitting the 4 tuner Digital devices card and the HD6670 (currently with fan fitted taking up two slots - but will drop to one slot once the fan is removed): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0076.JPG[/IMG] From above: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0078.JPG[/IMG] Example of how the 3.5" drives fit (another bank on the other side): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0086.JPG[/IMG] The copper sandwich plate on the CPU: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0085.JPG[/IMG] Lid fitted (temporary screws holding the bluray drive in place): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0087.JPG[/IMG] View from the back (oooer): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0088.JPG[/IMG] Slim drive in place (reason its so low, is so that everything in the front pannel is equally spaced (power button, IR receiver hole, bluray drive slot): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0090.JPG[/IMG] Here is the graphics card with the fan removed and the copper sandwich plate (half of) fitted: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0096.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0097.JPG[/IMG] Here you can see the original twin backing plate, but how it wont be required for the sandwich plate: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0099.JPG[/IMG] Heres a trial fit with the card in place and the top on the sandwich plate (screws will be countersunk later): [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0101.JPG[/IMG] Started to countersink all the holes on the copper blocks: [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0103.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0104.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.jm-electrical.co.uk/pictures/htpc/IMG_0105.JPG[/IMG] Well thats it for now... Next step is to carefully measure up the heatpipes for bending, then get the front panel laid out and made. Once everything is trial fitted, I can finish the pieces, get then anodised black and do the final assembly When I get chance to do more work, I'll take a few more pics :) J. [/QUOTE]
