Hello Everyone,
Prior to this build, I created the VNASS 1.0 project located here.
I was never really satisfied with the enclosure, it was to thin and it did not look as high grade as I wanted it to be.
Fast-forward 8 months and I finally purchased the enclosure that I wanted to use for the final build. Also the screen the was in the original build would not work on the new enclosure so I purchased a different one.
Originally I was going to have the front of the enclosure laser cut for the new screen. But when I went to a couple of shops to get a quote, they wanted to charge me $650 to have it done! So I made a template and cut it out myself using a reciprocating saw. Of course free handing it, the cuts were not straight, but I tried my best. On the back of the unit my router got away from me a couple of times and you can see the marks in the metal.
This is not the finished, finished product. I think I might get a glass font or some type of trim to hide the uneven cute of the front screen cutout and figure out how I might be able to go about covering up the blemishes on the back. If anyone has any ideas, I would certainly appreciate hearing them.
If anyone is interested,
I purchased the enclosure from here:
