    Yep 60mm fans, and the clear plexi shows off the fins and acts as a tunnel for the air.

    Will work on curves soon, trying to get the basics right first :)

    I still reckon the corners would look nicer rounded.

    I'd probably spend a few hours trying to get that right and fail ><

    are you meaning the trim or the actual panels?

    Well I went with the Pico Psu's and added some DVI extensions so the back would be less cluttered when everything is plugged into the mobo :)

    [​IMG]

    Think that's enough power?
    Also thinking about giving up on the "mobo rib cage" as its just more trouble than its worth to model the way I want it :(

    Defiantly keep the ribs, I know it makes life difficult, but soldier on. Without them, it's just a raised mobo podium on a fancy base; with them it's a unified piece of sculptural art.

    With regards power it might not be enough... 5870's if I recall correctly (and feel free to correct me) use (max)188W and 480's use (max)250W. The largest PicoPSU outputs 150W (again correct me, I'm working from memory) the larger pcb (though still much smaller than ATX or 1U) DC-DC boards output 250W. The backplate can remain unchanged (and very clean btw) but you'll need to find a little bit extra volume internaly... sorry to rain on your parade.

    Regards,
    Alex
