The Panels for HP3-Mega will be going to get a full coat of high-fill next weekend!
This is the "spray putty" which will be wetrubbed smooth before the final paint applied.
This lil update for HP-1 works in perfect, as i can "high fill" the whole lot and paint them all @ the same time.
This Face lift, iv'e been wanting to do for a while to HP-1,
Nothing spectacular..... but wanting to include a new on/off switch from the current HP computers and a Matrix LCD to help monitor temps and control rad fans for summer.
The on/off switches for the HP's are a real drag!! they have a bad habbit of pressing in and never comming back out
It's just a design floor, and if theyr left alone they will work perfect forever,but once pulled apart and re-assembled a few times...... they never work the same again.
What iv'e decided to do, Is "graft" a new "backlit" atx button from one of the new HP-Clone cases!
This will fix the "dodjy" switch prob and hopefully add some class to to the front of the case.
Again! the idea is to make the mod....look as tho there never was a mod
It's not a pretty sight! this is how i brought this case but i was just happy to get my hands on what looks like the last HP-Pav case of this type downunder!!!
The first part of the face lift is the removal of the floppy section, there no need for this to be. So it is cut away and will be replaced later with a new tinted panel.
Next is to remove some of the old paint!! the only way this can be done on plastic is some good old sanding.
no need to remove it all! just in the main workarea.
The new ATX power button!
The victem is a yumcha HP clone case, originally i had try'd to source an genuine HP case to use the button, but unfortunatly it was proving to difficult to find a donor ,
I know this looks like a crime on nature! to wreck a hole new tower for one button! but its a small price to pay if it makes me happy .
There is also a "mesh" update planned for the yumcha to replace the missing switch.
Tis beutifull isn't it
