looks nice smile.gif

should work pretty well except may have to grow a bit.
because of stand offs and material thickness biggrin.gif

with the slim drive. turn it 90 degrees and face it out the front.
get a slot load drive smile.gif and it will only show a small | slot smile.gif the width of a dvd.
also i would swap the top fan for a 120mm if it will fit ( should i guess smile.gif -- more airflow and quiter smile.gif --

Sweeeet more SFF modders. biggrin.gif

DELTA???!?!?! You must be crazy. Those things are server grade loud.

The case is designed to fit 9.5" cards (GTX 680 and below) these classes of cards will all work perfectly fine on the Silverstone 450W SFX PSU. That could save you quite a bit of space.

Like Liighthead said, the case will grow slightly when you consider how it is going to be put together and all the extra little things like screws and such.

Good first attempt and a good start to what could be an interesting case.

I know most of us live in the US and use inches but it is much easier to use metric when modeling and building.

Average thickness of aluminum is 1mm and average thickness for acrylic is 3mm so keep that in mind.

Can't wait to see what else you can come up with.
