Had me a little "cutting day"
I spent a few hours this morning making some stuff:
The 2 curved pieces are scraps/left-overs from from the top bezel. The one on the bottom-left will be used in the motherboard support area... I'm not certain about the other piece, but I think that something will present itself sooner or later.
Acrylic Smores:
The piece that is sitting on edge has been bonded. My intention is to have one on each corner (each one staggered outward on both sides of the vertical planes), and a single one dead-center.
I still need to do the ogee-profile on them, and I hope to get to that tomorrow or at the lates by Wednsday.... pretty much need to have them complete before I start drilling and cutting on the bottom panel.
These will be the uprights for the HDD cage. The HDD's will sit canted at an angle and staggered vertically. I have yet to decide wether I will place access to the HDD cage from the front of the case, or perhpas mount them on a sliding tray that is accessible from the backside.
Here are the panels, the mouting rails and the small "stilts" for the single optical drive (slot-fed Plextor):
Oh Yay!... I see more polishing in my near-future....Joy!
