Looks, interesting and thanks for the post here in the forum. Which hardware you want to built-in it ? You can also post the next steps if you can. I want to see the finish case with hardware inboard

Thanks Okiwana Okimoto.

Not got hardware yet put looking around at moment.

Photos of the case.

Nice packaging.




Battery died in camera had to use cellphone.

Side window still has plastic cover on it. Going to tint the window.




Stock 120mm fan will be replaced with scythe fan.


Cables have to go.


Back of motherboard tray there is sum room for small cables like fans and maybe ide and sata power cables.


Front of the case with all the 5.25" bays empty. left and right doors are open.


Stripped all the toolless parts and 4 bay hdd rack unit out plus the front usb/sound 5.25" bay unit out. No more nasty cables.

Empty case much cleaner. Only 1 cable left in the case and thats the power btton in the top of the case and is hiding behind 5.25" bays and motherboard tray.

Interesting. I'm looking forward to see the final stage. Do you plan to modify the case as well?

[bluezone]

The main part of the case that will be modded is the front. Installing 90 degree alloy in the front to hold a sheet of alloy that will hold 3 100mm fans.

Got a Scythe Mugen 2 cpu cooler today and fan grill for the fan on it.

BIG. Nice packaging.


And the gear and cpu cooler.


Going to replace the fan that came with the cooler with one of the 800rpm scythe fans.

Picked up my aluminum for the front of the case and a xtra bit for other parts. 3mm thick stuff.



Designed up the template for where all holes have to go on the front. Program I use is TurboCAD Pro 16.



After designing in TurboCAD to scale i save it as a EPS and opened it in Adobe Illustrator CS4 and made this up. Gives you a idea on what it will look like.



Tomorrow im going to print the template out at work on A3 as i only have a A4 printer so hope to start cutting the panel this weekend.

Thanks for looking.
