Default [Professional] Bright Elegance
Hey guys. This is my second mod and hope you all like it. I've always had a thing with symmetry so as such I chose to build a cube. Can't get more symmetric than that. Without further ado here is Bright Elegance.


My workplace.

The frame out of aluminum slidings found at Home Depot.

The panels that will be used for the faces of the cube.

I used thumbscrews found at Home Depot to connect the panels to the frame.
For the frame itself I used pop rivets.

My fan template


What you get after you cut.



Most used tool. The virbration are really nasty with this thing...

Holes for vandal switches

Top panel with the cutout for the acrylic window


Beginning of the frame to hold my motherboard, psu, and optical drives


Spray painting


Weights to glue the white acrylic and sidepanel together

Almost finished box






These are the sidepanels.

The design is lighten up by the light behind the acrylic







Well this has been my project for the past 2 weeks. Hope you liked it! Now I'm off to the first day of summer school.

I agree....but not on the airflow part. Maybe just a little.

It always good to see someone who has some manly ears. Noctuas? Pfft, my rig is a hot rod, and better sound like one too.

Wow, I echo the jealously of the workspace, but I feel sorry for your pool table with the tools on top! It's nice that you can take a break and bang on some drums or sit on the couch if you needed to relax after some tough cutting!

Wait... how many fans is that?

I really like the way the cut outs on the metal sheet shine through the plexi. Some clearer pics (tripod and timer?) would really help, I think.
