Its not your post dip****, It was Dr. Squirts post, one that I posted something relevent to his topic. What are you doing in this thread besides be useless and trying to prove that you are not a "little man"

We could post your "Useless posts not related to V6 performance" but it woudl be a waste of time, everyone already knows your posts.

When I said I will stay out of your posts if you stay out of mine I am talking about when I make a post, and you come in and talk crap.(very much like you are doing in this post)

BACK ON TOPIC

I am not sure if you will be able to just score the plexiglass like said before, I assume you might be getting something as thick as 1/4 in. and that is pretty thick. I woudl be kinda iffy about doing it with 1/8 in. but I think it would be possible with 1/8 in. Not sure about 1/4.

Do you have a dremel or something? Think maybe a cutting wheel woudl work? Similar to what is used to cut the roof in a t-top conversion. I think they were using a rotary style cutting wheel to cut the plexiglass I was having made.

If you dremel it you will spend FAR TOO LONG cleaning up the edges. Plexiglass isn't like wood. You need very high speeds and you want to stay off the surface as much as possible.

For you application if you cut it with a table saw at 45% angles you might be able to get entirely away from bolts.

yeah, i know. hawgs has posted a lot of stupid things but he's also pointed out some useful stuff. and the stupid things are always funny lol. but he's helped me with a couple things and he's pretty informative. i've yet to see a thread with a flame war in the lounge where skapimp wasn't involved.

What the feck are you talking about? Just because you guys have a "mini" lounge called the sick sixx forum. You guys are twice as useless as lounge rats because you post useless crap in more then one place. And on several boards.

Some useful v6 tech sick-sixx posts..

Not even sure what this just useless crap, but its "the official sick-sixx post" so this is what the club is about?

Thank you for the kind words Josh.

no problem. i dunno why a lot of people on here hate on you. yeah, sometimes you say things that are pretty mean or whatever but it's usually #1: funny and #2: true. oh well.

so building a PC...
a kid in my school built one. everything that can be is either clear or chrome and he has a lot of blue LED lights in it. it's pretty awesome.

its at a store about 15min away from me...lotta good stuff, very cheap too....

Yeah that does look like great stuff, problem is it's all standard. The Dell motherboard I have is rather backwards.

I'm not too interested in LEDs or chrome, those just cost money. All I want is a functional case that'll make my motherboard useful. It's a giant board, btw... about 20x13" - from a Poweredge 4600.

Here is a link to a pic of my plexiglass case.

everyone shutup about hawgles and skapimples. heres my case idea....dont buy one and nail your parts to the wall. then setup a fan about 4 feet away and have it blow air over the wall.. that would be the best performance for your computer, no restricting case walls, easy PCI swap. heat dispersal, out of the way, if you need to move around alot use thumbtacks. im going to seriously do this in my apartment once i move outa home. in the desk area im just going to nail my ****ing computer internals to the wall...or hell, cut a hole in the wall and stick it inside, then have the cdrom stick out and have hidden hinges, u just put a floppy into the wall, itll look awesome! OR, my best idea yet, if you are an avid lan gamer and OC your computer and need the best cooling out there, buy a mini fridge and throw your internals into it, have your mouse and keyboard wires run out of a small grometed hole lol....ok im done.

Yes....make him fry his ****....ever hear of this little thing called condensation? Water is not a Motherboards best friend.

Or just buy a watercooling kit and have the reservoir be in a fridge.

Or buy a vapochill...its like a fridge case for you computer...gets down to -35F or something like that.
