    just a quick question, sorry if it's already been asked, but are you using that PSU? is it gonna be modded? think that a tagan PSU would look good in there, it's all black and pretty :p

    Thanks all guys! ;)

    I don't know. I have not still decided about the top part of the structure case.

    The holes are used for the control panel, thermal sensors and multimedia display. See you soon for the next images about that... ;)

    Yes, 4 thermal sensors.

    That's not the definitive PSU but it's a test PSU for the lights and more.

    Bye bye ;)

    How do you like both of those Tt products? What software are you going to use to drive the little LCD? I was checking them both out for my mod. Thanks.

    I would like to preface my post with a simple statement: I love your design and execution.

    OK, now onto my question. Being a bit of a minimalist, I have to ask. Why do you need four thermal sensors? What does each of them measure? I know they're sexy, but there's only so much sexiessness (?) a single case can take...

    You know the thing that I find most interesting about this case is how when photographed from the front the different parts of the front fan grill appear to line up straight up and down but I know they slope because I saw the pre-assembly pictures
    and also the direction of the slope appears to vary depending on the side that it's photographed from. This makes me curious as to wether the fan grill appears to follow you as you walk past it

    and I'm still waiting to see how the sides turn out
    Ever since I saw the cathode holders I was expecting that you would insert a bunch of clear lexan rods through all those holes that would be illuminated by the cathodes. This would also fit with the design of the fan grills to some extent. It also appears that the sides are designed to allow side panels to slide in and out easily which suggest side panels made from a single sheet of lexan. At the moment I am considering wether or not it would be feasible to use the first idea with some sort of machined plates that would tunnel the light through to the rods and still be easy to remove.

    Thanks everyone for interesting. ;)

    I use the software included in the box of the TT Media Lab.

    I want measuring the IN/OUT water temperatures by the two water blocks.

    Your considerations are interesting. For the left and right side of the case I want to use a perspex panel, over that I want to position one shield.

    Bye bye

    UPDATE - The control panel buttons and activity indicators

    The 6 frontal panel holes are used for 2 activity indicators and 4 control buttons. All the 6 pieces are obtained from a pespex cylindrical bar D.20mm.

    Some photos of the working phases (manual lathe and CNC milling machine) and finished pieces....

    This is going to be one of the greatest cases I ever seen, Great work!

    G69T: Have you done any calculations of what the case will cost?
