    Broken Dreams

    Im better at speaking then spelling hope i will get understood.

    Hi guys iam 18 years old and i live in sweden. After being member here for a while i thought i should start a scratch build. I did some sketch up designs and made a thred in the modding part for suggestions, Did not get many repleys so i ask my Father for ideas and changes and he had great ideas.
    This was the drawings i made in Sketch up but im not that good in sketch up as you can see but i can insure you that the harddrives wont fly. And i will have fans at the back.

    Left one is the complete project, and the plan.

    I start with building 2 lids of alu profiles.

    Cut out most of the Plexi

    Then i spent many hours to drill, countersink, tap to hold my plexi sides, top together.. Im sorry that i did not take pictures doing this but i can describe some so you will understand the following pictures better.


    I made 2 frames out of the aluminum. One frame i made a "floor" out of something we call Form plywood. and the top plexi keeps the top frame togther then i drilled, taped, countersinked at sides aswell to hold the whole case up.

    Here are some pictures.

    Left side is the front of the case
    [​IMG]
    The whole is the back of the case, that part aint cut out yet.

    Here is the "Form plywood" i wrote about earlier wich is the floor.

    Another picture inside the case
    the tool to countersink

    I will bring better pictures of the frame / structure of the case in another update.

    This is the donator case wich i will take the motherboard plate from. I will also take the cd, harddrive shells to make my own out of plexi.
    [​IMG]
    Alot of bolts to drill so i can get to the plate that i need.
    [​IMG]
    I will use a grinder to cut out the fans, psu.



    Will come a update zoon then i have weld the motherboard and hopefully cd rom holders aswell.

    Hey looking at your sketch the only place fore hot air to vent is through your psu
    whitch might damage it you should put at lest on 120mm fan on the top
    Looking forward to some updates
