Thanks loop I was trying to wait until I got my other project done but how could I resist? This is my First water cooled rig and I am excited to see how good a 141 cfm fan is going to cool a heater core.

Hey man if you could cut off an inch or even a half inch of the Rondec and send it to me I could do a better job on the acrylic insert.

I was thinking countersunk allen screws so if for any reason I needed to take it all apart I could. The angle is quite thick so there would be no problem drilling and tapping it out and it holding real well. I am also going to make the pieces intersect. Hard to explain but you will see soon enough.

Lookin' good Ice Owl.... lookin' mighty good.

So about joints: are you going to try a "finger-joint" or a "lap-joint"... or am I waaaay off mark?

btw, you responded to a comment that I posted with: "iewgnem"... wat dat mean?

It is nice to see cases built from the ground up. It is a liberating experience insofar as being the Master of ones design, and not being constrained by a static shape or volume. I salute you. +

I am not sure the exact name of the joint so I will just have to show you.
I was responding to your comment and the guy who posted below you at the same time. I guess I should respond to your comments alone because you are in a class of your own...

looks awesome owl ice, but if i had dual PSU mounts and a water loop, the next upgrade I'd look at would be a TEC... just throwing it out there, and definantly, make sure u secure urself a G0 Q6600 as ur CPU, nothing else cuts it in that budget :P

This is how the joints will go together. The dark area will be removed and the 2 pieces screwed together. The 4 front joints will be rounded to mimic the outside of the case, while the 4 rear joints will stay sharp cornered like in picture.

*edit* sorry double post
