Good stuff, I'm enjoying this thread. I've been thinking about building a case from scratch and you and few other people have convinced me to go a little unconventional whenever I get around to it.

thanks I hope you do a mod so I can see it! If I have done anything that inspires you then I am flattered beyond belief, humbled, and speechless - go for it mate!

thanks man I wish I had more time during the week to do stuff but I dont. So I have to cram it all into weekends. Once I get past the delicate bits of lining up the mobo, etc then it should be faster progress. Thanks for your interest and your patience

The Intelligence - Day 07

Well, I guess it was time to poop or get off the pot, as they say. Let the mobo back-cuts commence...





then I flipped it over and finished the cuts from the outside of the case, and viola!

almost looks like it was meant to be there





purty



level and flush re-checks

I had to drill out 6 holes to allow the lian li standoffs poke thru down thru the rails. I tested a 4-40 tap but the lian li stand offs are some odd size because they dont fit 4-40 or 6-32, and 8-32 is too big, so I drilled 1/8" holes to let the standoffs poke thru and not hit

test fitted, all ok

didnt have a 60mm fan template so I made one real quick

marked off for 4 fans in the upper back right portion of the case (exhaust).

At that point dinner was ready so I packed it in for the day. Just as I was closing my garage door this cloud moved in and did this cool silhouette shadow thing so I snapped a pic


Still lots to do yet but up next will be fan hole cuts, and upper case cuts for back area over pci slots.

Thanks for watching

thank you for noticing yes, free-hand dremel cuts are slow going and take a great deal of concentration and patience - especially in aluminum that wants to bind the cutoff disk at every moment! Those cuts yesterday on the mobo pan, and today on the back of the case, both took a long while, with little breaks here and there to cool the dremel and de-fatigue my hands and wrists. The dremel is a great tool and it has its place but I am looking into getting a pnuematic cutoff tool which will make quicker work of these types of cuts, especially aluminum bar etc.

thanks naf yeah I was pretty glad the mobo back cuts went as well as they did. It was like "shwew!" when it was over and the things actually lined up

hopefully I can get in some work this week after work in the evenings, and move this sucker along
