    While the panel is being painted, we're also going to paint those bullet computer case thumb screws to look authentic!,

    Was browsing the site yesterday and the bullet thumbscrews were one of things that really caught my attention. Very nice :)

    I told Nate (CustomPCMax) at some point we've gotta host a gathering at my workshop. All of you guys are welcome to drop by when we fire up this rig for the first time. We'll let ya know in advance.

    I did order a Glock Pellet Gun off Ebay to help me brainstorm or make mock-up for top handle.

    My friend Craig did that with a Colt 45 on his Chopper, it's the suicide shift handle.

    Regarding the top perforated panel. The screen will be stamped in retail version with recessed vertical grooves, so it's reinforced and doesn't warp. It will remain perforated.

    Heres how it will look in final version

    I think the manufacturers told their Reps to stop feeding the Modders :nono:

    The economy has got everyone pinching costs where they can. NZXT came through again tho :thumb:

    NZXT is sponsoring this build with a Precise Power 1200W Power Supply! Bring on the hardware!

    Nice PSC and congrats on the new sponser.

    I wish that I could make the "switching on" ceremony (assuming that the invitation was a general one, and not specific), but living in rainy old Blighly, I think that I would struggle :waah:

    I'll just have to be content with a video that you will kindly upload to the interweb for those of us who can' t make it ;)
