A video would be a great idea, general acrylic workings. Im still a little confused on that mobo tray design, cant wait to see more pics to understand its design better.

Thank you for all the replies

Indeed, this is a rather large case. The one redeeming quality is that this project is less cumbersome than some of the other enclosures that I have assembled (Indigo being a good example -lol).

My apologies for being so vague on the internal layout. I was having a hard time deciding how components would be positioned and oriented.

I do know that the motherboard tray will sit vertically between 2 horizontal rails. From the front-side, the HDD cage and the pumps will be on the left-side; and, the PSU will be on the right-side.

Wasted, you asked about cutting holes: All holes larger than 1/2" are cut with the Dremel and a sideways-bit (spiral-bit) and the circle cutting attachment.

This is also the case with all the cuts in the panels. I only use the router for profiling, keyhole-ing, and slotting. The Dremel does all the other internal (inside the perimeter) work.

Hmm... okay, how about I start a thread, "Acrylic Q&A". Questions could be posted there, and answers (to include images and videos) can be added, then linked-to in the initial post...

Anyhow, I off to shape the top mobo-rail and polish up the graphite rods that are the mainstays for the HDD cage.

A separate thread would be prefect.

And I want pictures of the mobo rail and the graphite rods.

Thank you for the input on a thread, I will start one soon.

My thought is that it would be an "open" thread that can incorporate other modders techniques as well.

Perhaps others will start similar threads for aluminum, wood, et al. It would be neat to have several threads that address a single medium.

Anyhooters...


Per your request, I have included the images below.



Thank you, cbrazeau. I will do what I can.

Sweet!




These are the graphite rods and the panels for the HDD cage. Tomorrow I will go get the pass-through bolts... or I may use threaded rod ()





Checking for fitment of the top rail over the top exhaust fan:





Rails and friends:



(from left to right: 2 optical drive rails, mother board rails, optical drive bay risers, and HDD cage panels)



Close-up of the slotted rails. These are the slots that the carbon fiber motherboard tray will slide on.



I need to do some clean-up (heh..) but after that, the inner walls of the slot will get a lining to prevent marring and to act as a cushion.

Keeps looking great. Im starting to get an idea about that mobo tray, and Im liking how everything is so different and more open in this case.

Those slots are soo cool. I could never think of all this in a 100 years
The fan is an LED fan I assume.What color is it?
