Just a few images to show that I have indeed been whittling away (literally... almost) at this project.
Here is a recap of the lighting that I will be using. As shown, there will be three of these units, and they may be supplemented by some more discrete CCFL's.
I wanted to be able to cap the ends, and I wanted the caps to also be the footprint of the supports for the CCFL assembly. I searched around, but could not find a solution that has all the requirements that I desired, so I made my own.
I started with 1-1/4" squares of 1/2" acrylic:
Then sanded and drilled these:
They are still in the rough-stage. I will be rounding the edges to match the other profiled edges of the case, and then polishing them.
Here are a couple shots to show my intention:
I have also been working on the PSU and HDD racks' tray and slider system, but that is still fermenting.
