Small Side Projects

Just some fun/needed projects I’ve done lately.

A friend gave me two old beige mid tower ATX cases. I painted one black and decided to add some ventilation slots (this is the same case I punched the fan vent hole in) as the existing vent was minimal.

Nothing fancy, just did it by eye.

It needs some front bay covers still.

I also forgot to paint the reset button. More work is needed. My growing pile of PC parts.

The glass knobs I bought (from the Habitat for Humanity store) kept separating from the metal stem. Terrible glue job.

So I pulled them all off.

Use the lathe to remove most of the old adhesive and turn the rim to the same angle as the glass, for a better bond.

It wasn’t that exciting.

Some 2 ton epoxy and they are happily joined. the problem seems solved.
