    Haha, not a problem Trance. Since I'm obviously biased, I can say that I do like your design quite a bit! :thumb:

    Ah, a Space Marine Predator! The Rhino chassis may still cause the arguement of whether or not you can actually fit 10 Marines in there, but you should certainly be able to fit a good Water-cooling loop easily enough! :D

    WHY!?!?! That case looks really good! Design flaws can be overcome!

    I would love to make that case into a reality!

    I may go back to it yet, but I would like to get one case out that I'm really happy with, before struggling with that one.

    It should be interesting to see what you do for fan intakes. They would look cool if they were as organic as the case is.

    thx guys :) its 3ds max, but i tell u its ****ing hard to use :( some little minor stuff took me days to figure out how to do it. The problem with sketchup is that its unable to do meshes like that, first of all it doesnt have organic modelling tools ( like nurbs etc ) and when u do curved surface ull see that sketchup is quiete buggy aswell, so i had to learn max ;)
    +1 for the duct type intakes, didnt think about it yet, thx burn :)

    Yeah when I saw it in the 3D render thread it looked tiny, like an mITX based rig or something.

    ill actually build it, but to be able to do that, i first have to build a cnc, to do that i already ordered linear bearings and spindles and stuff :) pretty much only the stepper motors are missing now, for the carbon fibre stuff i got a friend who knows about the epoxy glues and carbon mats etc etc :)
