Wow, I've been away from this thread for a while and didn't realize Syrillian was back. Welcome back, friend. I hope your travels fared well.

Also, wow on the updates. You've done a lot since your return and it all looks spectacular. A little rest (or was there any of that?) and you're an acrylic modding demon again.

Fan controllers and Power switch:

Installed using the re-made spacers. One can see that I used self-tapping wood screws torqued down into pilot holes; not the ideal solution, but I'm tapped out of ideas at the moment that precluded drilling on the top panel.

The power switch is an illuminated (red) bezel type.





Trays and raw rear panel:

Test fit for the PSU (Silverstone 1200W) and the HDD rack... again... don't wanna mess this part up.





Here are the parts for the PSU and HDD trays. The carbon fiber angles were cut down from the first batch that I made several months ago. The flat pieces are remainders from the cut-down motherboard tray and are decorative in nature not structural. The aforementioned pieces will be used on the outside of the trays to cover the capillary bond (tray to backplate) on the otherside as the backplate is bronze.
The HDD tray/rack assembly will get a 120mm fan for an exhaust directly behind the drives.





I did not get as far as I wanted since my return from abroad, but I did get to the point of cutting the rear panel to size.





OH!... and also, I dunno if I introduced you guys to my little friend:



...Hey! Don't laugh... that is 1 gallon of sheer air-blowing pwnage right there...

I didn't realize how big the case is! What's the vertical dimension?

I want a compressor

Looks good . Can I (we) see a picture of the front panel with the fan controllers and power button? I'm really curious of what it looks like . Do you have knobs on it yet? Are you using the stock ones?

Yes, I will be using the stock knobs.

As for a pic.... brb.

Syr, this is my kinda build, biiig. I'm really liking the way all the components, carbon fiber and acrylic alike, are fitting together. Asthetically speaking, its really impressive.

As for the wood screws for the fan controllers, consider using stainless sheetmetal screws. They are the same as the wood screws but have flat heads instead of tapered. The stainless will also look good with the black. Just an idea.

Thanks JarHeadJohn! A good idea.

I'm still up in the air about switching them out or not. The problem before was cracking. No matter how careful I was with tension, I always ended up cracking the pieces. As you saw in the image, the holes are not centered and are closer to one edge (PCB obstruction). The wall is only about 1/16" thick with a 6/32 so I needed to go smaller.

I'll see if I can get some SST screws that are similar in size and threading.


Per nategr8ns request here are some shots of the top. The bezel has not been bonded yet as I still have the final-polishing to do; neither is it centered on the Power Switch. The fan contoller knobs are almost flush with the top of the bezel which was my hope... "stealthed" (used rather lightly...lol).

Words cannot describe how PC sexy/beautiful that is. Wow, a work of art by any definition of the term my friend!

OMG Syr, that is so cool.... I had a picture in my head as to what it would look like. My image is to the results as a doodle is to a fine piece of art.

Absolutely gorgeous work.
