    Yeah, I'm orienting it so there facing back like a normal computer just need to tap some holes. If you need any help feel free to ask mate.

    just the elgs were my questions, and how "sturdy" is the design? i mean, can it hold weight? or is it flimsy?

    They are relatively sturdy, as they are shorter on mine its much more sturdier. Are you looking at adding a graphics card?

    Thats a cool looking case (and nice way of mounting it on a desk).

    But don't spiders normally have eight legs?

    Wow, what an idea for mounting it! Agree with everyone else, it's great stuff! Thought this case was great when I first saw it, and love what you are doing with it!

    The motherboard stand-offs are now in place, the motherboard arrived today but they accidentally sent me the wrong model so now i have to wait till next week for the correct one. Here is some pics of the re-arranged stand-offs and another pic of the case with the face off.

    Hey hey, just got the new motherboard in and ive made heaps of progress, heres some pictures of whats happened in the past 2 hours :)

    New mobo :)

    Graphics card mounted and all cables attached, except the main atx power.

    How its mounted

    [​IMG]

    Back onto the desk

    The atx power will be soldiered under the motherboard so basically the complete case will end up looking like these current pictures.

    Im designing some black metal arches to cover the motherboard itself for protection and some added looks.

    Thanks again, check back soon for more updates.

    Cheers
