    So here we go again!

    This is a case i started building in school so all wood was free.
    The case is mostly built of 9mm thick plywood and im happy i didnt have to pay for that, expensive stuff.
    The case is almost finished so this will be a quite short log.

    I dont like projectlogs with to much talk so here's some pics:

    The frame and the back with motherboardtray:
    [​IMG]

    The front with blowhole n stuff:
    [​IMG]

    The stuff to make the drivecage of:
    [​IMG]

    And the sides painted and drying (i will not use the chairs in this mod :lol: )
    [​IMG]

    I have ordered a 120mm RGB led fan and a 80mm blue n red led fan from jxddata.se.
    Hope they will arrive soon.

    So whats left to do:
    Fit the fans.
    Make a powerbutton (dont really know how).
    Attach all the sides.
    Make the drivecage.

    Looks great! :D

    That fanhole was cut with a 105mm drill so it could be better but I didnt have a 120, but its still great...

    sweet, another swede :D
    i know there are some of us around here, but its always nice to find a new one :)
    and most of all, one with some skillz !

    but why dont go with only one color on the fans ?
    that looks kinda messy, if i may say so..

    though, all looks great so far. keep on moddin' ! :thumb:

    There were only tri color and blue 120 fans, so i might buy orange leds or something
    My meaning for the theme is to be Orange and UV...

    The powerled is going to be in the middle of the startbutton.
    And im thinking is it possible to have a duoLED as powerled and make it change color when the hdd is working?
