    Guys thanks so much. I'm on this tonight. Clocker I completely agree when doing a mod, or anything that will have a finished look to it. Don't do it unless you "feel" it. otherwise it will come out all fucked up. You said to me once Patience is a virtue and big surprise, you're right

    Quite right, Patience is a nice girl from Stratford, Connecticut, as I remember.

    That, too.

    Hey, I have a question relative to my build, but it belongs more properly in "Software", so that's where I'm posting it.

    Please take a peek.

    Actually, no.

    Sprocket was named for the biggest, meanest Airedale bitch I ever knew.
    She was a great dog.

    So anyway...today in Denver it's 50°f, tomorrow will be -5°f.
    Damn Canadians and their Polar Express.

    I figured that if I was going to be in the garage, cutting and hacking, today was the day to do it.
    Managed to get quite a bit done and what's left can be done inside.
    Onward and upward.

    First up was the eSATA port relocation.
    I dithered back and forth whether to do it or not and finally decided I'd kick myself for being lazy, so it was on.
    Turned out not be as difficult as I'd feared but even so I only did one (I have two ports to play with), figuring not to push my luck.
    Started by removing the door and the lower front panel...


    Then I laid it out and did some drilling and filing...


    And the finished product...


    Reinstalled the lower front panel...


    I'm glad that's over with.

    Next up was a minor bit of work that's been driving me crazy for weeks.
    I had purchased an OCZ memory cooler a while ago but the mounting method absolutely sucked. Basically it clamps to the end of the DIMM slots but in my application it interfered with the video card.
    Not a lot but I didn't like it.

    This morning I machined and threaded a 3/8" aluminum rod and mounted the fan unit to the case floor.
    Like so...


    Much better, I think.

    So now Sprocket sits proudly, looking like this...


    Oh, because he asked nicely, here's a shot of the fan controller from the back- just for Detale...


    And that's it for now.
