yeah that was my first time trying my hand at fiberglass and I wasnt useing the right material (funds are slim till pay day) so I used fiberglass sheetrock tape and that didnt hold the resin and built it all up like a sky scraper so I'm using a rough file and some 80 grit emery cloth to fether everything in then I need to drill the holes back into the modders mesh and get new switch's and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the switch's I'm thinking of toggles but the momentary contact ones are eggspensive and I'm just not sure I want it all chrome. on another not I finished painting the chassis last night it looks superb I should have pics of it tomorrow when the paint should be all the way dry then I am going to start on the sides. but so far I'm digging the idea of makeing the door on the bezel all smooth just alittle more filler and it should be done!

I got this cool idea to turn a 12oz aluminum c02 tank (for paintballing) into a res since I am considering putting a water system in my monster. I think what I'm going to do is cut the top off of it so its all one width and put a plexi cap on it and an inlet and outlet

Arent the walls of those cylinders really thick and the actually cavity in them about an inch in diameter?
I used to work at a paintball site. :cool:

I would say the walls are like 1/4 inch thick and the inside is about 2 1/2 inch opening by 7" long that will give me enough room to hold about 11oz

I think I found out what I'm gonna do for my window I'm gonna make a main window with a large sqaure attached to a smaller offset one near the bottum and then another square in the bottum left with a 120mm fan hole in it
