    Very nice work on the top and the front window is very nice too. With the front window I understand why you selected the internal side of the bottom mesh to be the clean side. :)

    Thank you :)

    Thanks Nicksen, I'm pretty happy with my first venture into metal working but there's a lot I would have done differently... cant wait to start the next project now so I can build on the knowledge I've gained so far :)

    Thanks :p

    Cheers Mankz... loving your avatar you gotta get "Mt Eden - Sierra Leone" that's a killer track! :D

    Thanks dude, I didn't want to give anything away about the front window back when I was doing the mesh work as it was still really just an idea in my head :)

    Thanks mrd, you'll have to let me know if your showing monolith anywhere close to home.. would love to have a peek at that beast :thumb:

    Thank you Voigts :D

    That plexy top is really a sexy piece of art.

    Well I'm all countersinked out :) I made a full fit of all the parts as believe it or not there is only a couple of small things left to do to the chassis :jawdrop:
    1. Optical drive rails
    2. Back panel
    3. HDD Rack
    Then she's all done and I can start to work on the electrics, Sleeving and water cooling so as its probably going to be a little while until the next update I thought I would sign off with a couple of full shots in the great outdoors. Enjoy :)

    man, that bottom window is pure win. I really like how that came out. IMO you don't need any more LED's there, those enermax fans cast enough light to give the bottom just the right mystique that is needed. I really like how the rads look like they glow (I know this is a by-effect of the fans, but it works).

    Fantastic.

    You know, depending on where you live, it's probably not illegal to pimp an inanimate object such as, let's say, a case. You could probably make some decent money out of it. I'd be in. Just sayin'.

    Crappy humour aside, please do continue with the updates. To (semi-)quote Hot Rod: "I'm literally green with jealous rage right now."

    Thanks

    Yeah its going to be a long couple of weeks :( maybe I'll make a test bench or something to pass the time :p

    Keep wishing and maybe she will!

    Thanks man, I do really like the glow given off by the fans but I don't want to "settle" for it until I've tried some extra lighting down there :)

    lol still needs some work but its nearly there :p

    Thank you Vaptor

    Thanks a lot man, I'm planning a case mod for my next project actually :) got this old chieftec dragon case that I'm working on some designs for so we shall see how that turns out :p

    :D thanks mate

    Thank you Beast

    Glad your enjoying it Blooddrunken :thumb:

    Well there's not much else to do until I get more supplies so think I may run a dry run over the weekend if I have time to see how its all going to fit together :)

    Thanks Fabou :clap:
