this project is absolutly awsome! have yuo considered contacting the movie studios to see what they may say - maybe pay some $$$$ to sponsor it

I agree with CrimsonSky. Finish it like you imagined it. Though if you are starving we would all understand since we all need to eat. It would just be a total shame to not be able to see what could have become something totally awesome.

"Everyone has three mortgages these days...."
Electricity is getting wired this week. Just a waiting game. Had the shop lights installed this week also
I'm also waiting on a cpu to get the shop computer running so you guys can at least see through the webcam again.
If you're wondering why I'm not doing anything yet it's because the only electrical outlet I have is shared by me and my brother in law (who runs his custom car shop out of here).

I just saw BB yesterday.
THAT MOVIE WAS F***ING AWESOME!
Very well done, I would say that is ranked in the following order:
#1 - Batman
#2 - Batman Begins
#3 - Batman Returns
low down here
#4 - Batman Forever
way down here
keep going
#666 That POS that should have resulted in mass death for the writters and director AKA Batman and Robin

It's not pretty trust me, nothing special (at least not now). In fact you'd probably be disappointed because it isn't some high tech super cool thing like what you see on tv.. I got the shop computer up and running in the mean time. I'd have the cam running but I'm still without internet over there...Maybe when we do get service over there, I'll have a cam in the metal bay, my area, and the paint booth. Apparently PGE delayed hooking up our phone line and electricity till the 27th so I'm still waiting.

you should go all Erin MODovich on PG&E, Qtip, and mod the shit out of one of their trucks ... unofficially.
Well electricity is now in the shop......only problem is.....we had to take down all of the previous wiring we did the other day because the county says we need some different wiring....nice waste of $500 right there.
Anyway, tomorrow the lights should work and I can finally get things moving. I may even surprise you guys with pics.

the better question is: what is right with county administration?
a little while ago, a holding pool broke and flooded the creek which we have culverts in. they tried tagging the damage to the creek on us...
i really really REALLY dislike county-level administration.

The wiring had to change because the shop is mainly used for automotive work so we needed a metal shielding on all of the wire. Funny how they didn't mention that the first 5 times they were out here inspecting...

In my own particular county, the administration had their business license database crash, and no one had ever thought to make a backup. They stopped granting new licenses for nearly three months...and any new business which hadn't yet received their permanent license was fined and closed down when their temp license expired.
If you ask me, county govt. is an useless anachronism. Pass all their functions to the city or state level, and make all their employees get an honest job.

More likely they'd pay some lawyer to step on it. Keep away from the studios, their only interest is profit and copyrights.
Spent part of the day on the phone finding parts and the other half trying for the umpteenth time to correctly epoxy this small part on hard drive cage. I showed you guys pics before of what it looks like (red w/ a bat in the center) but I keep doing it over till I get the right color of red. The problem is the epoxy is supposed to cure in 15 minutes but for some reason it takes like 15 days before you can actually touch it. I left with something looking the exact same as what I had started with which does me no good but we'll see if it's cured by tomorrow.
Ordered: fans, cables, heatsink
edit: and yes I ditched the console idea for good. This project has taken way too long and I have other cases to attend to. Whatever get's this done quicker is better

Which is as it should be. Businesses that don't put profit first don't survive.
I wonder what motivates you to go to work every day...if its not the desire for profit you scorn. Showing up just for the sheer joy of contributing to economic growth, perhaps?
Worked on getting the power supply boxed in. Need to find some metal mesh tomorrow for it. Also need to get some cathodes so it's lit up underneath this raised portion. And before you ask, yes it is a thermaltake power supply. I dont like thermaltake but, hey, it was free. The cpu hsf is also by thermaltake (doh) because it's the only 1U I could find at a decent price). I'd rather be using a coolermaster but blame the video card for getting in the way otherwise I'd use something bigger.
