Detail of the HDD tower top panels:










Detail of the optical drive slot:




Detail of the loops (essentially the same as Gemini was):




Detail of the rear HDD chamber door and the fan contols:




Lights Out:


























Another Member chided me about that I was even building something....

Okay...okay. Here is a "silent" photoshoot of some basics.











Please excuse the acrylic dust, fingerprints and unfinished quality of some of the components... WIP.

I'm a bit confused, is this a case from scratch, an external cooler, or a radical case mod?

Beggin' yer pardon holtzman.... I kinda just dropped in without any preamble.

This is a complete re-build of the Gemini project. That case was simply too big, and rough around the edges.

This is an attempt to scale it down, and end up with a cleaner finish and improved case performance insofar as air-cooling the motherboard module. Gemini had a passive intake/active exhaust. Although not a complete debacle, it was not nearly optimal.

In short... I am correcting some errors.

This little thread has made my day

It looks awesome already Syr, nice "teaser" pictures

Have you finished the article? Still slated for January?

Just looking over the pictures I'm inspired, really want to build a case using acrylic now. Obviously I wouldn't be able to post it up on this forum in fear of embarassing it compared to yours though

Anyway, keep us updated, and take care of yourself. And most of all, enjoy it, even when things go wrong

Hi, Omega!

My Parents were Professors.... My Father spoke Latin (I did not), and My Mother taught Literature (i.e. The Iliad, The Odyssey). I have had a fascination for the Greek Empire for a long time now... A few years ago I took a vacation to Greece and travelled out to the Ionian Islands to walk in the footseps of Odysseus... incredulous, beatimus... just being there sets the imagination on fire. ...and oh so beautiful.

I saw the place where the Spartans made their last stand, the Death Mask of Agamemnon, and countless other wonders...

Seems I lhave a fascination for the dead....

"Semper Fidelis" is the Creedo of the United States Marine Corps - I am a Marine.

You trying to make me feel bad?

Because it's not working, the special feeling those pictures give me override all my other thoughts

Haha, is it Syrillian the drug dealer talking?

"Yes, Mr W., the package will be in a black suitcase on the corner of West Avenue at 8pm sharp. If your late, your dead. You have 3 days to make the money drop at the arranged location. If your late, your dead"



Good to hear it's going well, and keep the pictures coming! xD
