Whoopin time is getting nearer.............

 

..........................................

 

those fan boards look like kife lol..tommorow will bring them inside the box and maybe flush with the outside. too late now for powertools, maybe pick up some fiberglass tommorow to smoothen things out. What kind of quick drying glue can i use for the wood seams/?

 

haha, then...water cooled. I saw an orion 2100 silver water cooled amplifier on ebay, it came with the pump too, i had to let it go, killed me to do it lol. Didn't have the cash at the time. Well i picked up 3 more fans the same going to try this a third time, hopefully i can get it looking descent. I screwed up putting this box together with nails, i really wish i had used screws. Much easier for changes. I might pull it right apart and pull all the nails and do it again with a drill and screws this time.

 

yes, i'll take that battle of the amp racks challenge azn lol, in eazys post. Ok i had to do some modifying but i got it to work with what i had for wood. The fans are just resting there not mounted or wired yet! Getting excited wohoooooo. Need to get some fiberglass to make this rack look nice.

They are just lighted case fans for computers, these ones i got locally from a hobby shop, they are unique and i bought them all so, i wouldn't know where to get more like this. But there are tons of different kinds out there and i think they come in two or three sizes.

Is it a good idea to fiberglass over this whole box then sand and paint it?

 

Ok i have my design, but it's butchered together due to lack of wood lol. Sooo, will pick up some more wood this week and build this a fourth and final time! With the side pieces as one piece.

I have fiberglassed and used bondo before on cars and i know how much work it is but if you do it nice the final product is well worth it. No ripples!

But i am just wondering about doing it to a wood box if it will stick properly and stay and not crack all to **** after. It's a lot of work and i don't want to do it if it's not the right thing to do.

 

Yes the holes are too small, I didn't have enough cash to get the bigger hole cutting bit but even that one was only 2 1/2 inches. What else could i use?

 

i haven't seen any smaller than the sizes he mentioned, with lights anyways. Well they all work wohooo, nice power to them too, a lot more than i expected. My orion is going to love this lol.

 

The blue things are ac converters for the cold cathode lights.

 

Got some pieces of 3/4" wood for $5.00 cut to my measuremnts for the new amp rack from some scrap wood at home depot and i received my 1/0 gauge wire today! 12 feet and i have another 8 feet of the same from before. Whooping time is getting nearer lalala lalala !!!!!!!!!/////////'''''''
