    Now I wait for a little more hardware so that I can fit the cables are hidden. Shall also within the near future to put in place the disc in the middle of the chassis and a suspension for optical devices.

    That Roccat stuff looks pretty neat.

    Is the mouse any good? My Ikari's middle click is getting wonky but it tracks so beautifully I'm s**t scared of changing it for anything else.

    Update # 10 - Middle plate and the construction of 5 1 / 4 "bay

    Now I finally have built some of the cabinet again

    What has been done is mounted middle plate and made a 5 1 / 4 "bay in the top. Made a plate behind this bay'en to hide the cables as much as possible.



    Middle plate mounted over PSUen:

    Congrats on getting so much sponsorship!

    Liking the front design, with a smooth finish, it will look great.

    The front grill looks good. The drive bay you made, will that remain sealed up or will the back be removed later on? The entire case is coming along great.. Very clean looking so far.

    It is to hide the cables, to make some holes for the cables later. :)

    Update: The design of the front!

    In recent days I have been doing the front, is not so much that remains there now, so hope to be finished during the week.

    Have hidden fan control and made a hole on the tray on the DVD burner. Power button is also in place:)


    Marking the power button:

    [​IMG]


    Used a 20mm borr:

    [​IMG]



    Pre-assembled:

    [​IMG]



    Fan Control, I have hidden in the front, so that only the buttons appear. Did a little test first to see how it was:

    In place of the faceplate:

    [​IMG]


    Regretted a bit that I cut out the hole to 5 1 / 4 "bayen in front, then took the team to a record as I plugged the hole with:

    [​IMG]


    There, I have now made a hole to the DVD tray and mounted the fan control:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Gets a little filler and sanding around the new disc, to get a good result:

    [​IMG]


    Have also been installed in 5 DVD burners 1 / 4 "bayen:

    [​IMG]


    In addition, to this I have lowered the one grill a little down in the plate:

    The result so far:

    There are a few more updater throughout the week, so just go with:)

    The package from Enermax has arrived!

    When the package comes from Enermax the house, fun me some new hardware:) guess that the package from Gigabyte comes in the course of next week, so I can start with the hiding of cables. It looks almost like I'm going to have to extend a few wires, but we later:)

    The package from Enermax contained:

    - Enermax Revolution85 + 1050 Watt
    - 4 pcs Apollish Silver fans
    - T-Shirt
    - Velcro for fastening cables

    Leds on the fans:

    The fans come with a separate button to turn off the leds, and in addition, the temperature sensor:

    Tested the fans by comparing the light but a Mist fan, found unfortunately no fan of white leds:

    Nice fans those. A little too bright for me, but if that's the look you're going for - they do it damn well!

    I like that color better. Reminds me of a stealth bomber almost.
