It is very diffucult and dangerous , to criticize a nice worklog, but I would like to appeal to some things. Most of what I say are not problems of your case only. classic problem in these desk cases. You say: “I wanted to see my Hardware and all components under a glass top. “ This is a PC case. main equipment in a PC case is MB. main thing that I want to see… But it is very diffucult to see MB in your desk. As if it especially hidden .. Of course we do not sit on the back side of the table Keyboard ,Mousepad and Mouse.., they should not be here. By doing this , you show yourself problems… If we get them to the right place… not much thing left…from the Show… … if we can not do anything as design, We can use a smaller keyboard or we can use a mini keyboard on the glass desk. As Mouse we can use logitech Anywhere Mouse MX or Performance MX with darkfield technologie, to work on glass and we DONT NEED A MOUSEPAD on the glass. Friends which make a Desk case , must solve this problem .
ohh yeahh, my Worklog is online , I received no notification. @Cheapscate Thanks , I did not manage to and can not see how you've done it now . @icelander Thanks @arg-ist you're right,I had unfortunately not much space to build it larger. The emphasis is not on "hardware" , but on "under glass". Finally, I look not always on the PC but on the Monitor
all right, lets go my basic idea i buy Wood and take MDF i dowel and glue it, make the fan holes, installed the fan grills, a power supplie bracket and as you can see the Mainboard tray then i installed the aluminum angle and i painted it with spray can ready and i needed a cover for cable channel now i had to design the base frame i welded and painted it then i need the drive bracket, i take remains aluminum angle and acrylic glass the same for the HDD bracket with more style i have installed many LED´s READY i had black Radiators and paint them white later i got a alphacool Monsta well, i make all cable with paracord sleevs, was a good weekend the LED´s with sleevs a few ports for light and fan the buttons and switches a Weekend of work with tubing the insulation then i make a acrylic plate for the Mainboard for more clean optik i have covered them with foil. Aluminum black brushed on backside i used foam rubber for cable let through the same foil for all drives and hdds then i make a aperture for temperature display with reflectors and more White acylic for better light scattering i paint the Reservoir´s from nickel to black and make a Little cover for the Buttons-, Switches cable inside I am finished and the best for last, my desk won the second place on the DCMM (German Case Modding Championship) I hope you like it.
