    Thanks all guys... ;)

    I have not calculated the costs but it's not important. :)

    Update - The internal support piece of the buttons

    Some images about this...

    In this case the actual cost of the dwarfed by the tens of thousands of dollars worth of man-hours and machine-hours that went into creating it

    I also even though everybody already said so those buttons are awesome they look really professional.

    And I love the way you used the threaded rod and the screws so that it's ajustable. Very clever :thumb:

    Quite clever, I like your construction techniques. Reminds me a lot of my buttons (touch sensitive via QT150 chip)

    I Really admire this case, it's awesome.

    @G69T
    What kind Of switch are you using there (the one with the yellow and black cables)? 2 seperate channels on/off, or a 2 seperate channel pulse switch? It looks like the first one. Do you have a sketch of your electrical circuit yet?

    Thanks guys

    Great work Starbuck :thumb:

    With the yellow and black cable I utilize the switch for on/off neon lightnings of the Water Station and case. Look the image with the buttons indicators.

    I'm guessing that the HDD activity light changes colour to the blue that you are using as the other colour when the drive/s are active?

    That's some seriously gorgeous switches/indicators you have there.

    ok first of all WOW, that is just amazing, no words can describe how beautiful it is.

    Question 1. With the buttons after you sprayed them did you just sand the unwanted paint away to leave it with only the black paint on the grove or did you machine it?

    Question 2. Did you tap them holes by hand or did the CNC machine do it for you?

    Question 3. Are you going to have a spring to push the buttons forward to the front of the case and keep them tensioned, or are you going to rely on the springs in the buttons?

    Thanks all... ;)

    It's right! ;) Behind the two activity indicators of the PWR and HDD, I want to install two blue leds.

    A 1. I have used the abrasive paper (1200) for polishing the external surface (hand made).

    A 2. The depth of the signs are 0,7mm and I have worked with the CNC milling machine.

    A 3. I use the springs in the buttons. I will use an additional spring for the neon lights switch. ;)



    ...still images of the control panel....
