Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That cassette door is just begging for an LCD behind it. And I agree, you should try to get a slot-load DVD to insert where the tape buttons are now. Any way to get the existing dials to use the data from the musketeer? That would be awesome.
Try to keep as many buttons functioning as you can...
Squee, those knobs look OK, but if the parts for your monitor stand are an indication of the direction the rest of this mod is going, I think the radio knobs need to be Brass. Besides, they would look great with the brass LCD surround as well. Perhaps you could modify some antique drawer pull...
If you can find a dial image that you like, I'll custom make a background image to the exact proportion of your LCD's resolution, just so I can say that I contributed to this cool mod. :D
Glad to see you have re-done the backplane for this mod. After all this work, you really want to be happy with it, and the new back is much sweeter. Still holding out hope that you'll mount an LCD in that dial opening, nothing else will be as dramatic. If you still have the original dial, can...
Mysterae that is just awesomeness. I'm glad you got it all up and running. Now... one thing I'd like to suggest.. you gotta do something about those drive faceplates. They are just too normal looking now in contrast to all that great internal work. Mirrored fronts with stealthed eject buttons? A...
I'm still salivating over this awesome project, and hope that Mysterae can hold off on the gaming long enough to get the whole thing plumbed and pumping in all it's glory. You'll definitely need to get some professional shots of this baby once it's done. All that effort deserves to be recorded well.
To get that brushed finish looking really pro, attach your paper to a big piece of wood with a scrap-wood handle on top. Put the piece and your new sander up against an edge where you can keep the sandpaper block parallel to the surface with each stroke. Only go in one direction. Pulling each...
Interesting... keep it going. I especially like threads with clear photographs. Although, you might want to make them a little smaller. I see you're using SketchUp to plan out your rez, smart.
Breach, great work so far, with a couple of ideas I may even pinch from you for something of my own. I applaud your dedication to the polishing, as it is a mighty task on any project. You may be feeling lost with the overall design, but I think you have a really solid start. You've thrown a lot...
