It's out in the machine shop I built in the garage. Life expectancy of a bare board is quite low out there, what with metal chips flying around and all. Cases are .... mandatory :D Besides the cases have extra little blinkey lights on them for me to watch....

Here's why the cases:

I love milling machines I was into tool& die about 35 years back and would have stayed if the pay scale was better

[rsbriggs]

It's a lathe and mill both....

Cool - now have a pair more of these, which made a nice little bump in SOB for me:

Why'd you scratch out your k and n? There is no way to duplicate that.....

[rsbriggs]

Habit, more than anything else. There are some projects where knowing specifics about what is being crunched could possibly allow others to do mischief....

Lookin good!! Keep those pics comin!

Are you using that $89 dual xeon board you posted in another thread?

[rsbriggs]

Nope - still waiting on that one. This is a "surplus" IBM Intellistation MPro dual 2.0 Ghz Xeon box that I picked up for about $300, complete with processors... Heck of a nice box, too bad the thing is so big. (Big, as in, has bays enough to hold 7 SCSI drives... A full 4U sized.)

Sweet yeah me need to get one of them... but with some nice 64's instead of Xeons lol but I can see why you'd wanna protect machines from sparks / shards of metal..
