    Hey Tob1, feet looking good. Sorry I've been a bit quiet of late, even on my own forums (not claiming ownership of bit-tech here, Tob1 posts on our forums too).
    Are you going to paint them or leave them au natural?

    The plan is to paint them black to make them go with the red and black theme :)

    I've cut the motherboard tray, and made a piece of MDF to cover the gap between the motherboard tray ant the vertical separator.

    Here are the spacers I've cut to hold the HDDs in place, and the new SATA-cables that will be used to make this a homemade hot-swap.

    After waiting half a year to purchase the right fans from a Norwegian store, I've finally got 6 new Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM! :)

    I'll try to get most of the work that's left on this built, done during a few weeks, but all the painting will have to wait until the temperature rises. I don't think spray-paint and -20°C is the best combination :p

    I've got a lot of things done lately, and I hop you are ready for a new update!

    This update includes the mounting of the feet, hole for the fan controller, testing of the front panel, and cable holes.

    First some soldering to do...

    Then I had to lower the screws.

    Finally ready to be mounted!

    I've also milled and drilled hole for the fan controller in the outer front panel.

    The result!

    Holes for the cables, and testing of the hot-swap function...

    The holes for the hot-swap connector looks pretty ugly on the photos, but they actually look quite good in real life.

    Now, what do you think?

    I'm loving the grooves for the cables. Was planning on doing something similar for my next thing.
