Thinner . . . . ATX

Only the PSU will be in the bottom. The DVD drive will be at the top where the PSU usually goes, and the HD will go near the motherboard.
********************************************************

I pulled out the drive bays from the old case





And shortened it to fit



Then put it in.




I'm going to hinge the left panel, but first I made it blue



I'll also be shortening the plexi panel too

 

I put the hinge on the side.





Here's roughly where [on top] the pwr button will go.



Next comes this shelf I never got around to using





Now on to the plexi. The thin plexi I had cracked, so now I'm using the thicker stuff. For perfect holes, use a HOLE SAW.



See.



Then cut to size




Here's what to later expect.

 

that's a nice trick, using a shelf cut to size looks very stylish

 

I like this very much. Really nice with the blue shelf. But I wonder, Why this tall design? Will it fit better in your computer area? Pics would be great. Keep up the good work, man!

 

Compliments on construction

Very nice case! It’s quite the culmination of creativity and carefully constructed complimentary cuts.

 

nice-


bit of a novel idea though.

 

You'll get to know my work soon enough. Only half of the PC's I build ever get used. When it's done and all pics of the inyards are taken, I will disassemble it and the case will remain empty like so many others.


I cut out the hole for the PSU.



And painted the bays blue to match

 

but the twin towers wernt blue!

 

Twin Towers?? WTF are you talking about? This ain't a WTC Mod.

 

Maybe he was looking at the pictures and none of your text...
Or it was a very lame attempt at a joke.

Regardless, keep up the great work!

 

Looking good, and very original.

 

I drew out the bottom



The carved it



And bent it into place



Then riveted it on.



I also finished the intake fans.

 

what fans are those?

 

Thermaltake, but I'm not sure of the exact type....I'll see.

 

I painted the CD drive



And mounted the PSU





Then worked on the top bay where the HD will go. I'm using this old frame from my Matrix Orbital now in R2D2, so you'll be able to look in at the HD.

 

you painted the CD drive cover with the CD drive on it? ... wait the other way round... Painted it while it was on the drive? You're mad!

looks nice though

 

lokking nice keep up the good work

 

The CD drive is just for show; when you see the final product you'll know where th CD drive is, but that's it. The drive itself is from 1996 and I don't even know if it works.

 

I thought that the glass was too clear, so I added a light coat of blue. Now you can still see inside.

 

Nice I like it
