    Looking good so far, I like this project.
    I'm looking at using those Bulgin switches you have and I want to use them on a mod I have in my head so was curious as how easy they are to wire (for a complete noob) I learn fast and they look simple enough but wanted to know your take on the matter.

    Pritty easy. The ones i have got on one side is an + and on the other side a - those 2 are four the led. And the odder 2 are four the switch. Just wire the power led + to the + from the switch and the power led - to the - of the switch. The other 2 you can mix up. with no problem. Becos those 2 are four the switch. Don't know if its wise to mix up the led + and -. These ones cost me 22 Euro a pies so i am not going to try it :p

    Ok This is what I did this morning right after i came home.
    Made the upper first part.

    [​IMG]

    Have not yet glued the top plate yet. Need to make fan holes. But four that i need to w8 until later today. Hopefully the post deliveries works today.
    Due to its the queens birthday. And most companies are closed. Just like tomorrow on my birthday.

    And The lower front plate.

    [​IMG]

    Also not fixst yet. Need to mil first some space four the switches. But that also comes later :D
    Mean wile i removed the PSU bracket. What was a pain in the rear end. I forgotten that there were 1 potnagel in the corners behind the corner pieces :duh:
    So i had to drill them out from the in side. A true horrid way to do it. But it works :D
    And after word's I cut the PSU bracket in 2. It has to be only 15cm long. Ore els the fan thats gonna be behind it won't fit.

    [​IMG]

    Hire you can see the results :D
    And four the ones who were wondering what kind of psu i am going to yous. Whel its the Antec TruePower Quattro 850Watt. Ore the 1000 Watt version.
    And thy are both 15 cm long :thumb:

    [​IMG]

    And thy look better in real life then on the site :D
    The CPU cooler is very nice made :D So you can see on the pic below.

    [​IMG]

    The DD logo is very nice engraved. It has only one small drawback.
    The under side ain't like a mirror. Like you can see on the pic below.

    [​IMG]

    Nothing that a bit of elbow grease and some polish won't fix :dremel:
    Hopefully i will get my other stuff fast. Until then not much to do :worried:
