I really, really like the uniqueness of your idea and you've done a heck of a job so far bringing it into reality. I can't wait to see the next steps and the final product!

The Intelligence - Day 06

So since I decided to use a mobo pan afterall, I needed to make some adjustments to my rail system. I removed the stand-offs, and also replaced the rounded head screws with counter-sunk flat-heads

they werent perfectly flush so I needed to make up for the diff by jb-welding a few washers across the back part of each upper rail

lian li mobo pan marked off for cutting

not too bad, still sexy methinks

test fit. at the moment this pan is sitting about 5/8 too hi in the back, I was just using this to guage left-right aspects so I can set up for cutting the back of the case

finally separated the twins by deriveting the bottom part of the case from the hinge strip

MUHA!

mark outs for the IO portion of the mobo pan. that little hole was drilled so I know the lateral extents I have available as it relates to the feet built into to the back of the case. Also youll not the line going from left to right in this pic is well above (below in the pic) the rail in this part of the case. Turns out my rail system wasnt so "perfect" after all - live and learn

Ill make up the diff as I mount the pan using some washers under the pan

perspective of the above pic
until we meet again tomorrow

I know it seems slow going, but it is. There's so many little things to consider, and measure, and test, that the overall flow really slows down in favor of accuracy. Since this project is not raw material, or starting from a stock case, I only get one shot at each cut so I tend to be very very extra careful as I go, hence the lack of fast progression. My apologies

Tomr I will cut the back mobo openings, and then depending if thats smooth or arduous, I will attemp to get the fan cuts done as well

Cheers and thanks for watching - I really mean that when I say it. Your opinions, guidance, and input, are incredibly important and insanely appreciated. Thank you ALL
