    I have no earthly idea what D-9 is, but that's some awesome craftsmanship, as usual.

    I thought about using that conduit for sleeving cables in a former build, so it's nice to see how that turned out. Fits the build well.

    Great work bill! :thumb:
    But just a thought here, if the case suffered so much abuse, wouldn't the side panel get scratched and weathered too? (i know about the time constraints, but i'm just saying...)

    Thank you everybody! :) Check out the movie if you haven't seen it, you'll understand why this is soo Grungy :D


    The carton weighed 55 pounds when it shipped, didn't bother weighing the PC alone.

    I used to live in Johannesburg. This case captures the grunge feel of some of the areas perfectly ;P Again I'll say excellent work now that I have seen the final build. And yes, for those that haven't seen it - go watch the movie!
