Hmmm... I want to see if I can get this done by the end of the year, so I can begin working on my sig rig . Roughly what I still have to do is... (

-Cut the back of the case for the connections
-Drill a hole for the power plug on the back
-Paint the whole case, including the interior metal frame
-Sleeve the cables
-Place the x360 HDD port in place and solder the power and SATA cables
-Cut the acrylic pieces for the front of the case (Where the Memory units used to be)
-Cut the acrylic for the HDD unit's case to exchange for the silver part
-Cable management and LED placement

Those in bold are the easiest, I can easily do all in a single day. What will take longer is painting. The rest of the tasks can probably be done within a weekend.

Are you going to be using Matte Clear-cote too? I suggest you do for durability reasons.

Hmmm. I always thought clear coat was to give that shiny looks. If all it does is to protect the paint, then yes, I will

Thanks alot mate

In general, clear coat is gloss. But it is available in Matte finish -

For example. It will look slightly less matte than the standard paint, but the finish will be much more durable. Just make sure it says it has a matte finish.

Text update:

I went ze shopping

-Enzotech CNB-S1 NB cooler - 19.5€
-Enzotech CNB-S1L NB cooler - 19.5€
-Belkin USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter - 46.67€
-Logitech LX710 Keyboard+Mouse combo - 67.6€ (Logitech simply ftw, hands down)
-Revoltec FanGuard 50 x 10 mm x3 - 8.4€
-TOTAL - 161.67€

Everything should arrive in less than a week, except the keyboard and the fans. This is one expensive project... But I'm happy with it I imagine how much it costs to make a case from scratch so I can't complain
