    woot! bout effin time!

    should be getting the metal delivered either tomorow or friday!!!!

    also been looking into motorising the motherboard trays and front panels so the case will open electronically.

    this feature MIGHT be expanded in the future with remote control unit.

    metal for the motherboard trays. 2mm thick aluminium and 1mm thick front panel sheet
