    Some time ago Bill Owen posted at his blog, that there will be a cardboard case competition. So why not to take part in it?

    Here's mine. Made of cardboard and papier mache to strengthen the joints.
    First the sketch:

    Then some detailes prepared for mock up:

    Traditional mock up before glueing:

    Decided to improve the overall look a little bit and went watercooling with my case. I think it looks very good ^__^
