CCFL’s
Posted by: | CommentsAnother week, another update! I really should get this thing wrapped up, but frankly I’ve been having too much fun using it! I haven’t wanted to keep it down for more than a day. I’ve got a few things done, just the same.
If you’ve got to use CCFL’s, you might as well go with one of the best. I picked these up from Vibelights.com. Although they are high quality, their prices are comparable to most anything else out there. One benefit is that I can mix and match parts. I bought a 12” and a 6” CCFL, and inverter.
The side panels arrive
Posted by: | CommentsMy side panels finally arrived!
What a beautiful box! For some reason, boxes from FPE always make me happy…
We’re almost there!
Posted by: | CommentsAll of you guys have been pretty patient over the course of this project. I know I’ve teased you a lot with all the ‘not quite finished’ pics as well. Well, I’m still not finished, but this baby is damn close. Just a few small details, and the side panels are pretty much all I need.
So, that being said, I finally got the face plate mounted. I did a little creative cutting, and was able to mount it without using a spacer. I didn’t take any pics of that, because frankly it was pretty uneventful. 4 screws, and the thing was bolted in place.
A new fillport, and the case cover in place
Posted by: | CommentsBut wait, there’s more! When I dropped the new pump in the case, I also added a tube and fillport to the case. Why not? Hell, I still had room!
All I needed was a little piece of aluminum stock and a hole…
