Ref...

...I kind of want one of those airships now. Not the type to play the games tho -- I've tried a few -- I don't do too well :-/

Whatever. So... having established that...

Last night I started work on the support structure for the system unit. This started off as a pop-in drive cover for a computer case I no longer possess, if indeed I ever did -- a lot of this stuff came from a friend of mine who right now is extremely upset with me because he misinterpreted some things I said than went off the deep end big-time.

Whatever.

Work went like this...

OK... great. (Actually, not so much so but I didn't know about that yet ;) )

So... onto finishing the pill bottle, right...

Notice the problem...?

...works great, in cartoon shows. Notably, however, real life is not a part of that genre.

So that doesn't work, then.

Well darn :-/

Did a test of cutting the corners off the scrap piece of drive bsy cover I'd generated shortening it to fit... works great (I do not have photos of this). The final version works just as well except that I sliced through one of the WiFi antennas' cables.

Not wires -- cables. That stuff is subminiature coax, not kidding. Once it's dead, it's dead... had a different spare I could bodge with, and did.

That's *almost* better, LOL...

Let's see if we can figure out how to fix that...

That's better! Let's cap it off then, shall we? :D

Okay... well... only one thing left :D

"Let there be lights!" :P

...yay Dollar Tree "fairy lights", (i.e. SMT/D LEDs + magnet wires), or rather: not... they suck, and are a remarkable pain in the a** to deal with... especially since they depend on the internal resistance of super cheap batteries, rather than being engineered properly. (Before anyone asks: yes, obviously I know where I bought it; but even at Dollar Tree, I expect things to be worth more than  1/4 MSRP.

All done for now :D
