Tonight the official Nettwerked Tempest Building team are meeting up once again. This time we're bringing the tempest machine to Senorita's place for some building. H1d30u5 managed to aquire some heavy duty epoxy glue from work, and we hope to have more of the "beast" put together. Also, the famous Kankraka will be joining us this time and will be using his expert hardware skills to help out. This should be a fun and productive evening. =)

Cybersk4nk, H1d30us, and I (The Clone) got together earlier this week and began gutting the innards from the tempest machine. We removed the custom 386 motherboard, cables, and boards that look alien to anything we've ever seen. Using some of Cybersk4nk's dad's tools (kudos!) we managed to grind most of the unneeded metal risers that were used to hold up the old motherboard to fine breathable dust, and then we mounted a Pentium 166 motherboard / CPU on to it. The super-glue H1d30u5 and I picked up from the local Mac's store was garbage. It didn't stay like we expected. We're going to get some heavy duty epoxy soon from H1d30us and then cross our fingers that it works better than the super glue. Next get-together will involve replacement of the power supply, and mounting of the hard drive into the removable, government- \style drawer on the front of the machine. If we get time, we'll put a cd-rom drive into it and begin to consider our options for cheap faraday caging for external cables (power / network / etc.)
