    Thanks Nutman :p

    UPDATE !!!!

    After a few months it was time to pick up this project and finish it!

    I continued with the top grill of the case.

    Cutting a Aluminum L profile in to pieces.

    [​IMG]

    These pieces will hold the support for the aluminum bars of the grill

    [​IMG]

    All in place. :D

    Next step was to cut every single piece to the exact size. That it all nicely lines up together.

    All pieces in place next up is sanding and polishing the pieces. But that is for next week.

    Wow I really love your grils, at the top, front, and side.

    However you will needs to handle the dust inside the case ;)

    Ah, That is glorious!:D I don't get why companies can crank out laptops full of die-cast titanium, but can't add metal features like this to a desktop.

    Back to the mod. Started with removing all the extra mounting points from the Noctua fans that I wont need any more.

    Added some new material to the build. The original idea was to use walnut wood but do the high price I used regular pinewood. Glued all the pieces together to create one part.

    The idea is to do the same things in the case also and color it darker. To finish it I am going to use High gloss clear coat.

    1 side panel is finished already.
