M4T4 - Day 001 - Conception
Posted by Ernest Kwan | Filed under Xtrkyr's Forge
Introduction
I’ve been putting off my case fabrication for nearly a year now. I’ve always wanted to build my own case from scratch but found it difficult without having the right tools nor skills to build one from scratch. I had submitted several blue prints to some metal fabrication shops in my local but only to find that they did not have the precision I was looking for or, was going to bust my wallet for charging me as much as $500 just for the case chassis…
In December, I finally gave in and decided to work with an existing case chassis, with the intent to completely transform it to something out of this world. I looked at several case options, including the Corsair 800D, CM Haf 932, CM NV690, CM Scout, and ThermalTake Spedo. I decided to go with the CM Scout, a standard issue mid-tower of steel construct. There were several reasons for the CM Scout. Firstly, its relatively affordable at just a bit over $100 (I purchased it used). It contains just enough bells and whistles for convenience (i.e. hdd rails, tool-less drive bays, flexible heatsink bracket, and good airflow) but leaving just enough wildness to be tamed with my customization. I won’t post the blueprints to my build, just to keep my work log nice and suspenseful 
M4T4
M4T4 is actually a twist on M44, as in Messier 44, the star cluster Praesepe, Latin for “Manger” or a beehive cluster. It is a cluster located in the Cancer Constellation, home to my zodiac The M4T4 case will essentially be home to the various computer components that will work in harmony to produce an experience like no other. The purpose of the M4T4 is to create an energy efficient PC that has enough power to scale up to enthusiast level experience for gaming, and scale down for normal use. The case needs to be sound and vibration proof.
Possible Components
As of this time, I am looking at getting the following:
+ i7 920
+ X58a Mobo
+ Haven’t thought about memory
+ 80+ 850W or more PSU
+ 2 x ATI Radeon 5850s
+ 4 x Eco Drives (5800RPM) in Raid 1+0 for storage and application execution
+ 1 x SSD (32-64GB) for OS and Virtual Drive
+ Slot-Load BD Reader + DVD Burner Combo
Safety
+ Sperian Survivair Valuair Plus Mask (The Bondo and Fiberglass Resin/Hardeners are toxic).
+ Disposable Latex Gloves
+ Air Filter to circulate and filter air (sand debris)
Front-Bezel
1. I have decided to work with the front-bezel first. First step was to clean it with soap and lukewarm water to remove any water-soluble agents. Also, I had to remove the filters on the hard drive covers as they will soon be filled with Bondo filler.
2. I re-attached the drive covers back on to the front-bezel, with the exception of the middle one as I intend to put the blu-ray drive there.
3. Next, I took 80grit sandpaper and roughed up the ABS plastic of the front-bezel, so that it provides some adhesion for the Bondo Filler application. I did as “rough” of a job as I could, trying to make it as uneven as possible. After sanding, I vacuumed the debris and proceeded with washing it one more time with soap and water, drying it with a towel and a hair blow dryer (for the mesh).
4. After it completely dried, I proceeded with mixing the Bondo (each golf-ball size requires about 1 inch squirt of hardener). I mixed it using a plastic spreader. I did this as fast as possible as this stuff dries real fast. Each application was about 4 golf ball amounts, no more as anymore would mean I’d have to either apply it real fast before it dries up, which is too much of a rush.
5. Next, I applied the Bondo to all the cracks, gaps, and whatever. Goal here is to create a full surfboard like front-bezel, with a rough shape of the final look. As the front-bezel had a lot of grooves, it was unlikely I would be filling the front-bezel with half an inch thick of bezel. Therefore, I decided to just make it about 2.5-5cm thick, with the intentions of applying fiberglass to reinforce it for the next layers. As you can tell from the below pictures, some of the bondo became very rough to apply at the end as it was drying up. I will be sanding these rough parts off later before layering the fiberglass tomorrow.
6. While I wait for the Bondo to cure, I decided to start preparing the strips of fiberglass that I will be applying tomorrow. After cutting the strips, I placed them on the dry front-bezel to ensure that there was plenty of excess on the edges.

Я бы сказала о монументальности, грандиозности некоторых сюжетов. А назвала бы - “нефильтрованный реал”. На мой взгляд, красота - это все-таки другое: лучшее, чистое, избранное, заставляющее трепетать и поражаться. Можно найти красоту во всем, но всё скопом - не есть красота. Имхо.

Financial spread betting is a leveraged tool that gives investors the opportunity to trade the financial markets without ever taking physical ownership of the underlying instrument. This means that the trader/investor can speculate in the direction of any financial instrument, whether it is specific shares, currencies, commodities or indices without ever owning them. In the financial markets there are standard contract sizes. For example for the FTSE 100 index contract the standard market size is £10. With financial spread betting the investor nominates his own stake size, for example £2 per point. The bet is settled as the difference between the purchase and the sell price.Financial Spreads is appealing to ever greater numbers of investors for several reasons, not least of which is the absence of capital gains tax on profits (unlike conventional share trading, where CGT applies to trading gains in many countries), and the lack of stamp duty on transactions (most interesting in the UK; strictly speaking, the transaction is a bet, rather than an investment - hence the name.) However, by its very nature financial spread betting is more risky than traditional, fixed odds betting, or conventional traditional share trading, where participants are usually a little more protected. If you judge wrong, you are likely to lose a great deal in the absence of a stop loss and any losses made on a spread bet cannot be offset against capital gains on ordinary investments.The costs associated with financial spread betting are included in the spread (the difference between the bid and the offer price). Therefore the wider the spread, the more you pay to trade. So when considering a company to spread bet always compare the spread. The good news about the spreads is that these are generally getting tighter due to increased competition and explosive growth as investors are beginning to realise the advantages of financial spread betting; thus making the system more efficient.
