Thanks guys. I took a good chunk of my spare time this past week to go over the design more closely and to ditch the Rosewill mini-arm in favor of the much more adjustable Ergotron LX that was supposed to be used in The Hawk.



The LX arm is an awesome piece of engineering and its aluminum construction matches the Lian Li nicely, but there is no way to make it work with the initial design as the length of the arm would cause the case to tip over when extended with a 24" monitor on the end.



I fixed this three different ways.
  1. Remove the rigid extension link from the arm to make it shorter
  2. Flip the case around so that the case itself acts like a foot
  3. Limit the movement of the arm and monitor to stay stable throughout the adjustment range

And after a few drawings I got to work playing in Sketchup again with pretty good results :

White = Frame, Grey = Aluminum Case, Green = Acrylic









Now with designing finally out of the way construction begins tomorrow

Thanks man, a few new updates to come tonight after I get a chance to attach the rad to the case and refine my Sketchup model a bit.

Thanks for looking

Wow, very ambitious, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

I really like it how you buy the stock standard stuff and then modify it to your needs, not a lot of people have the foresight/ability to do that.

Thanks guys, the kind words mean a lot

I have made my revision to the base of the unit as I just didn't really feel the front feet on the last revision suited the case very well. Instead I've increased the stability of the case by adding more material to the sides, and I think it also looks a lot better too.



Now a question for you guys, I have four options when it comes to acrylic colors; white, black, clear, and I also have a sheet of matte gray.

The stand of the unit will be matte white, personally I'm leaning towards the matte gray if you guys want I could post pictures of each material and the maybe we could even make a poll for it. Let me know if think

Looks like the GPU just got an upgrade thanks to an impulse buy:

A Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 1Gb!



Since this is a single monitor 1080P gaming rig the 2Gb version would just be a waste of money, despite the potential of an unlock to a 6970. I have also ordered a 40 GB Intel X-25V SSD as my boot drive to speed things up greatly.



I may have to extend the casing a bit to fit the new video card into the design
