Functional Design [pics]

Here are a few "in progress" pictures of my system. Some of you may have seen some of these before, some are new. It's not done yet, but it's coming along. I am having trouble with the installation of the OS (XP Pro is installed and I get constant BSOD for some reason). Anyway, lots of pics:

Lighted pushbutton switches are [what do the kids say?] 1337 -- how 'bout if I jest call 'em "the shit".

Where the switches, fans an' lights all come together.

Tryin' ta git the system up an' runnin'. No luck yet.

But it is startin' ta look real nice. Let's jest hope it lives up to its name, which, by the way, is in honor of the late, great owner of Function Designs Floor Covering, my friend and mentor who died recently of cancer. This is for you, Larry.

grump,
That is awsome.. u must be a pro. All hail GRUMP :worship: :worship:

[Player0]

I agree. That is highly professional. What do you use to make all those cuts?

[speculative]

Thanks for posting the pics Grump, looks great!

[Grump]

Thanks for the comps, you guys. I appreciate it. Player0, the cuts were made with a variety of tools. I usually have this article I wrote as a link in my signature, but I think you guys don't allow that. That's okay, happy to oblige with THIS (http://home.inreach.com/jmfloors/HowTo-windowcuts.html) .

thats weird i have posted links in my sig...

{url=http://www.liquidninjas.com}..::liquidninjas::..{/url}

replace the "{" with "[" and you'll have a link that'll work in your sig

[dicki]

doh! just realised what your talking about! we don't mind as long as your a regular poster and it's to something interesting and relevant, obviously it'd be nice if you'd include a link to us elsewhere on the web ;)

[Player0]

We have no problems with links to other sites or images or anything, especially in signatures. We dont allow HTML code for security reasons, so you have to use vb code.

You may linke to any personal pages you wish, unconditionally.

However, if you wish to advertise an outside site for...well advertising purposes, we have rules in the guidelines for that.

We aren't strict tho, so dont worry about it :)

Damm Grump, That case is "the $H!t"
How many hours have you spent on it?

[Grump]

I don't know how many hours -- you know the old saying, "Time flies when you're havin' fun." It has had its moments, but mostly it's been fun.
