Ahh. Now I see where this is going. I initially pictured it with the MBB sitting flat horizontally on the rail. Now I understand

EDIT: I saw this update at work but couldn't see any pictures because they blocked imageshack, photobucket etc etc. I only saw the text in the post. I spent the rest of the day imagining how the pictures would look like.
So much is the influence of your modding skills in my life my friend.

Well after allowing the last set of pics to settle in the old brain all I can say is wow. This case is going to be great Syr. Niffty idea to mount the optical drve on the side like that! The layout of this case is very unique! As always, I can't wait to see more!

P.S. I'm in on the table fund, we need to get Syr a stable table, lol.

Happy Friday, folks!

Thanks for commenting (to include my "work-table").

Rado ~ Yes, you are indeed correct the work table should be a single and solid piece of furniture... have I fixed it? ...no. Why? ...I have no answer (sorry).

But fwiw: Several months ago I considered moving to Texas. That did not pan out as there was a change of heart in the Family member that was going to move there, so I will be hanging where I am for awhile.

I am house-shopping now. It will have a garage for a workshop... and I will build a proper worktable.

I was fortunate in my as I pushed the table toward the side of the house so only 2 legs slipped off, and the table became wedged between the paneling and the bottom "table" (lol).

I can laugh as the router was not damaged, nor was the router table *whew!*

Wasted ~ Yah. I did not do a good job of describing much of the internal orientation of components as I probably would have sounded like some babbling fool, but I am glad to see that the images are accomplishing what my lack of verbage did not.

In the final image the bisection of the case is clear. The HDD cage and pumps will be on the left, and the PSU will be on the right.

I have already made the carbon fiber motherboard panel, but before I cut it down to size, I need to have the top and bottom rails complete; a task that I hope to have done by this weekend.

Again, thanks for taking the time to comment.

ok syr, I just went through all your updates from the last 3 months as I had somehow forgotten about this case.

Bunches of questions :
What are those lights?!? I haven't read all 1000 posts so sorry if you already answered that
How do you sand and polish the acrylic so well?
What kind of tools do you need to make your cuts so perfect?
How hard is it to keep that Router-Dremel bit steady and to not mess up the curves when you're routing them?
that is all

+ for your amazing work so far.

Heya, Nate.

The lighting is a standard CCFL in a 1" acrylic tube.

Sanding is done by hand with 240-600 grit sandpaper.

Polishing is done with a muslin wheel that is mounted on: A drill or a Dremel. I also polish some tight-spots by hand with high-grit paper and some Novus products.

For cuts I use jigs, straight-edges and patience. Large panels are easy as I use a small table saw that has a built-in guide.

For routing-work I handle the work, and have the router mounted to a table. With the exception of that single incident of the table falling off () the surface is sufficient... but I await a better work-table with great anticipation.

If I was not clear in my answers, please ask again and I will give it another try.

Just to add to the list of questions.

How did you cut the circles on the panels. Was it done with the dremel? or was it something else.

Syr you need to publish a whole list of "Working with Acrylic" video tutorials for us noobs
