    Sorry for not updating guys, I've been busy working, organizing some stuff for the coming week and building a website for a customer (preview).

    Anyway, I've also had some time to work on the sketchup design. I've decided to go with the bigger design. Now I want the top to match the front panel, so I did some sketchup work. Here's what I came up with:

    Still no real work done though, and that will stay like that for at least another week. Tomorrow I'm leaving to Friesland (the northern province of the Netherlands) to go sailing for the weekend, followed by camping with some friends until Thursday.

    The new design looks very nice, happy holidays and I hope you will catch some wind to sail.

    Let me reveal that my next project will be very different as well, blue and yellow to be more precise ;) I'm hoping to start that one within a few months.

    Back with an update, finally. In the past couple of weeks I've had to work a lot, almost fulltime. Thankfully Sunday is still a free day so I've had the chance to work on the front panel today.

    [​IMG]

    I chose to go with the bigger design. Firstly I taped the aluminum and drew out the design. I started with the holes for the Aquatube. First drill a hole, then saw out the hole with my scroll sawing machine.

    [​IMG]

    Continuing to the other holes:

    For detail work I used my brand new toy, a Dremel Stylus.

    [​IMG]

    After filing I temporarily mounted it in the case.

    [​IMG]

    Currently the holes are rectangular. These will be rounded later, as in the sketchup model.
    I've also ordered the acrylic. I wanted to go with UV red, but the shop only had UV orange, so I decided to go with red tinted acrylic. Also ordered a 50cm long tube, 4cm diameter. I will use that to make a custom fillport/reservoir.

    Topcraft, one of the cheapest around. This brand can only be purchased at an Aldi supermarket :hehe:

    This evening I rounded the holes:

    O-M-G Koradhil... That's just awesome! I'm in totally love with that front, might gotta use those slices in a mod later on, bet it's going to look kickass with mesh and red acrylic.

    Keep going, please take some days off, I want more :hehe:

    I think they don't, I got lucky. They only sell them for a couple of weeks a year. You could check out the Ferm or Kinzo brands though, they are cheap also.

    I got another question for you. I'm thinking of painting all the mesh in the case, starting with the mesh on the sidepanels, but the front and top will also be done.

    [​IMG]

    It's red VS black on this one. The Corsair Dominator Airflow has mesh painted red, and I really like it that way. I think more red mesh will be nice, but I'd like your opinion on it.
