    -----

    I would like to welcome you to my first scratch build.
    I needed a PC case for my first PC build so I designed a small, compact yet elegant PC case.

    Specs:
    CPU: i5 2400
    Ram: Kingston Hyper-X 8 GB (4x2)
    GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6870
    MB: ASRock Z68 Pro-3M
    And some old hdd's

    I live in Minas, Riau, Indonesia, in a forest -____- Literally :wallbash:
    So I don't have alot of Materials and tools to choose from.
    I will be primarily using plywood
    And I MIGHT not have alot of free time, so you might not hear from me often.

    The current status of my PC :confused: :rock: (Taken with phone)

    Yep, This is my backyard (They're eating guavas, Again, I live in the middle of a jungle :D)

    DESIGN

    I wanted to get as small and compact as possible yet have room for more HDD's and a few upgrades.

    The pictures should explain everything.
