    the plate the pumps will stand on brushed sorry the pic doesn't show you how awesome it look
    [​IMG]

    the idea: The pumps are gonna stand on the small alu piece and I'm going to make a sandwich wit silicon in the middle to dampen the vibrations.

    A little sanding

    I thought I didn't need the to make a line where I have to bend it but then noticed that it was necessary.

    Made this so that I can see if all of them are the same it was really helpful

    Corner fin

    You haven't seen the final result yet you'll be amazed.:naughty:

    Thanks that means very much to me:D

    It wasn't really as long as you know how to us a permanent marker put it on the hinges and be careful that you always bend to the same place.

    A small update :

    After a lot of trail and error I finally managed to make the top corner fin

    thank you

    I don't have very much time atm with ester and life but here's a little update. I couldn't wait to see how the case would look like so I put them all on the wooden frame after I finished bending them.

    I dig the red. Looks like dragon scales with barely-contained fire underneath. Awesome build so far! :thumb:

    What about them all?

    Put each colour on to a switch, and depending on your mood/game you're playing, flick between them?

    Personally I prefer the Red and blue, I don't think the white looks too good on it IMO.

    Awesome build so far though man!!

    I agree with mars-bar-man using all three would look great. Though I don't agree with him on the white, I think it looking insane.

    If you are going for some fan control it could control the LEDs as well, so maybe some 3 way switches. White could be some fans off, blue could be 5volts and red could be 12volts of awesome :rock:
