Google's page says the PRO version can export to CAD...

"Yes. The latest release of Google SketchUp can import AutoCAD 2007 files. Google SketchUp Pro can import and export AutoCAD 2007 files."

Oh, well. I'll figure something out. How's it going HiJack?

Basically the top with the vet and holes is the top of the case. The left side of the case draws are in, and the right side draws are out. The middle area is for the HDD which ios cooled by ambient air.

Cool, cool. No pun intended...

I'm gonna have Saul look at this and see if he can do it, or if he knows someone who can. I know it's not done, but I'm readying for when it is.

I was thinking of building it myself, only thing I need is exact measurements of your MoBo and PSU (WxHxD), in mm if you can. I think the case will actually be smaller then pictured. Also I need detailed pictures of your panel and behing the panel in the metal framing. Also, does that little area with the change holder or what not, pop out of that panel?

It is just a holder for drinks, food, etc. It has two screws, but it does come out. I'll get you some dimensions of the panel after I get the Turtle out of the shop in the next week or so.
The MoBo is: 2" D x 7" W x 7" H
I believe. The page in the Store says 6.5" instead of 7", but IDK.
The Opus 120 is: 7.1" x 3.1" x 0.75" from the listing in the Store.

It is removable?!?!?!?!??! Thats great because I can build the vents into that, but I would have to x out the holders. I wonder if that piece is strong enough to hold the PC up, if not we can make legs for the case, so when its slid into place it has support, we wont have to worry about it buckling.

I'll go grab dimensions real quick. If Ken isn't working on the Turtle, that is...

I HATE not having the Turtle available when i need it!!!!

Does you friend use AUTO CAD? Like he would be able to build the case? I can export the progect to auto Cad.

I forgot that the designs could be exported to images. He wanted to see what it would look like.

I took a quick picture and some measurements while i was checking on the Turtle...

I pulled that piece off, and measured: 1 foot Deep/Long and 7 inches Wide

Hope that all helps!

Tidder · 06-04-2009, 07:57 PM

Looks dangerous inside there.

freeflashstuff · 06-04-2009, 08:07 PM

Oh, it really is.

Everything is secured(except my XMPCR; I'm Velcroing it later). All the wires are wrapped and I'm still kinda testing everything to see how I'm gonna fit it until I get a new case. But, as I previously mentioned, the Turtle is in the shop to get the front main seal and everything else (timing belt, water pump, etc.) replaced. It should be out in the next couple of weeks. But in the meantime, it really sucks that i have to borrow my dad's truck and run to the shop every time I need measurements or anything like that...

Sweet! And Tidder, I know(at least i believe) you're kidding. All my friends have a sense of humor like that.

Tidder · 06-04-2009, 11:28 PM

Of course... if I wasn't kidding I'd say that your car doesn't look like a turtle at all. But that's rude.

Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

freeflashstuff · 06-05-2009, 12:40 AM

No, it's not.

it doesn't look like a turtle. But my friend started calling it that because it's green, and it doesn't have much power(or go very fast. I've topped it at around 95mph, but I don't intend to ever need to go that fast again, unless I need to pass another convoy...

). But, no, it doesn't look like a turtle.
