Blowing it up was easy To save space inside the case, I removed PSU housing. I licked my fingure and touched it... j/k, but I guess something got tangled in the wires (I have a lot of them exposed) and created a short circuit.

Thank you!

Looks awesome! Good luck to you, I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Thanks, Ducky!

Totally forgot about case holders. I decided to use ConstructX cubes, instead of acrylic cement, because I wanted to make the case easily modifiable and transportable.





I also did routing of the edges for internal pieces and some wall edges. It turned out to be a little tricky because the router bit for the Dremel was a little longer than the thickness of the acrylic, so I had to layer two pieces (including circles) to get done right. I also don't have a router attachment, so I used a line/circle guide attachment instead.

Cool, I'll keep checking in on this.

GL!

Lookin' awesome!

Those are some really clean cuts you did with the Dremel - well done.

+, and I look forward to seeing how this ends up.

Keep up the great work.

I had totally no time to work on this mod during the week, so here is what I was able to get done on the weekend, balancing all the other things (saw "Dark Night" in IMAX for the first time :\ - it was great!).

Drive bays:

I used standard standoffs, drilled and routed the holes in the bottom acrylic piece. I didn't like the look of exposed screws on the ouside, that's why I used a router bit to hide the screws inside the surface:


I did a similar thing with my hard drive, but used red 1/8" transparent acrylic to continue the - bronze on the outside, red on the inside - theme:


I cut out and drilled/routed holes in a small piece of acrylic to be used as a drive spacer:


And after putting all three together (and adding a tiny red bar to hold HDD against the wall) it now looks like this:




I created one of the two fan guards (not sure how I am going to have patience for the other one ):








Because my DVD drive was set against one corners of the case, I was unable to use a ConstructX cube for it, so I cut, sanded, polished and drilled a custom corner instead:


Little by little I expanded the hole and with light force pushed the standoff into it.



I also cut out and sanded the back of the case last week, but I forgot to show it:



PS: I know that a lot of this stuff looks dirty and messy, but I am still not ready to remove all the covers, knowing my tendancy to accidental scratching. And I still need to do a fair amount of polishing (leaving it for last )

Lookin' good, and coming along nicely.



You are wise to leave the protective backing on the on the panels for as long as possible.

Those fan grills are really nice.

Thank you again, Syr! You are very kind. It was primarily after seeing your case mods that I gained confidence to create my own. So your encouragement means a lot. Thanks!

Thank you, h00chi3!

Because my PSU is without housing I needed a faceplate. It still needs quite a bit of filing/sanding/polishing. The two holes on the right are done very poorly, but they will be covered by the power switch and plug:




I also cut out the motherboard tray holders and as in previous case they need major filing/sanding done:


I made an additional cut in the motherboard tray to accomodate a 120mm case fan that will be mounted on its side:
