    Project: Satan's Deuce

    Ahhh yes if you're going for a chrome finish, metal is the way to go... We do quite a bit of injection molded plastic at work, and with most of it the texture produced is something less than desirable.... Of course most of the stuff is either nylon/glass fiber or thermoplastic rubber, but...

    Project: Satan's Deuce

    Cast aluminum probably wouldn't be very cheap either, but you're right, its probably to only method that would allow the durability you're looking for... Injection molded plastic could work, but of course would be injection molded plastic.... Cheap look and feel.... :) Have you considered...

    Project: It's about time

    Its is steel right? It will oxidize over time.... maybe try a clear coat to protect it? A light coat of oil works too, but will be pretty damn messy on a computer case :)

    working with steel

    The proper way to cut that would be a band saw with a bi-metal blade made for cutting steel. Or, for a more industrial look, an oxy-acetalene torch would work well too, leaving behind a very jagged edge....

    Project: Mach 1

    Hehheh.... Sorry.. Not that odd though. I don't own a welder either; I do a lot of welding at work. Good luck aquiring one :)

    Project: Mach 1

    You may want to check around and see if a local automotive body shop can weld it for you. If not, I'd recommend getting a flux core wire welder or gas mig welder over a cheap AC arc welder. It can be very easy to burn straight through thin sheet metal with an arc welder if you don't have very...

    Project: Mach 1

    What area are you in AmdBoy? If you're anywhere near the Detroit area I could weld it up for ya pretty easy.... Once the weld is ground flat to match it would look pretty good.... Although I like the idea of the gullwing as well :)

    A duct going to your CPU?!

    I made this duct out of 3 inch diameter flexible aluminum dryer ducting... 3$ from home depot is enough to make about eight of them. Good for at least a 5 to 7 degree temp drop.... Just make sure you clean your heatsink out often, it gets dirty quickly.

    Metal Casting Furnace?

    You could do that, although aluminum may be a little light for fangrills and such... You could cast a skull or whatever then attach it to a plastic or steel backing though. Really thin parts are not good in cast aluminum, easy to break. We tried that stuff in my highschool metals class years...

    32bit vs 64bit PCI GigE connections

    64bit PCI slots are not usually found in desktop computers. Make sure the server has one, and use a 64bit nic in it, but you'll probably have to use 32bit nics on the desktops.

    correct type of stainless steel to use for side pannels

    No doubt there. Every time we have to run stainless in out shop stuff gets torn up.... Chips the shear blades, burns up our liquid cooled bandsaw blades like crazy, chews up our tool steel form dies.... You'd be better off getting the stuff sheared to size from the place you buy it, cause...

    Pneumatic air pump questions

    Just about any pump that will deliver that kind of pressure will be large, and more importantly loud. You could, perhaps, use one of those pumps for inflating car tires. They run off 12 volts and are usually fairly small.... But they are still very loud. Do you really need a cylider or could you...

    Configuring Windows 2000 Server for HL, need help

    Definitly get HLDS PingBooster, works quite well. Also, check the protocols on the NIC, and get rid of QoS. In your hlds config files, check your sv_minrate and sv_maxrate settings. If you're not quite sure how they should be set, google it, there are quite a few guides out there. Hope...

    Making your own duct? how shold i go about doing this, and lemee know if im right.

    I have a windowed Chieftec, and did what you want to do. I flipped the bottom exhaust fan over, so its an intake now. Next I ran down to Home Depot, and got ten feet of 3 inch flexible aluminum ducting - price 3$. I cut a piece to the approriate size, bent it at 90 degrees, and viola - instant...
