    Very nice work Jwatt! I like the raised side panel design. And the inventive creation! Screwdriver and hammer? My :dremel: salute to you! :thumb:

    Only thing I'd try to improve on is the cubes you're using to hold the bolts off. Maybe with some paint, they might look less out of place. Now, metal cubes or columns... that would look hardcore. :cooldude:

    It's looking good. I have to warn you about something... 3 fans under a 1/2" cover plate will make an incredible whooshing sound. It will sound like a vacuum cleaner. I learned that on my first scratch build.

    Wow! hammer and screwdriver, I did that when I was young. Got at it Cave Man, lol! I feel really bad for you, like I should buy you a jigsaw or something, except I'm in the US and I'm to cheap to pay for the postage, haha. Nice design for a case
