Edit: sorry if this is tediously long, and i know its not the meat of the log, but i wanted to catch everything that went into this case. If you want meat then wait a few days for me to get all the drawings down on the sides and front/top. Thanks for looking ^^

Captain's log 2267: 7AM i got up and went to Home Depot (it was more convenient at the time, i had school in 1 hour and 30 min) and got me some wood! $35 spent on the project at this point. I, after an hour of selecting the right pieces, left with a fine piece of the following *attachment 1*. so, having my wood and materials all assembled cut me holes *attachment 2* and glues it all together *attachment 3*

I've a question: if you place a fan grill away around 1/2 an inch will i create the noise that is usually made? (this will specifically effect how i mount my case fans.)
