How did I miss this thread?

Does this mean you got reimbursed for all the stuff you lost?

Actually it wasn't as bad as it looked. I have everything cleaned up and just had to replace some wires.

Just wanted to give a bump for those that have not seen it yet. And hopefully tomorrow night, I will have some good news for you all. Thanks for looking and supporting

Sweet job, I've always been a satin fan. I love your attention to detail! Keep up the good work.

TDN1979 · 04-26-09

Thanks Hueristic!

Just a little update, I'm working on the wiring right now. Because of the bar that goes across the back that holds the mobo, I can not run the main power wire behind the mobo. That really sucks but I will do what I have to do in order to make this look good. Thanks for the support everyone.

Very Nice!

Here is a little update on the case. I did a little WM on it last night and this morning. I didn't want to go crazy cause I'm sure that we will not be keeping this case or anything inside it. So, I did a realy fast and cheap WM just to clean it up some. This is about the best that can be done on this case without heavy modding. The support bar that is at the top of the mobo goes all the way back to the outer case panel. There is just no room. If I would have thought about this before I powder coated it, I would have made holes in that bar and the mobo tray.

The cd/dvd cage is not as long as it is on my case so there is just no way to hide the wires on teh drive. I did move the HDD to the bottom and turned it around. I hate wire loom (plastic) but it worked good for this one. For some reason, the door fan and the fan on the back of the case is not working. I will have to do some testing to find out why.

Oh, and most of the dust is gone as well

The cable you see running to the back on the bottom is the front audio. You are looking at the max that it can stretch lol.

Let me know what you think. I may be getting another case just to play with. We will just have to wait and see what happens.
