So let me begin by saying I absolutely love this site. I have been scouring posts for months now and finally decided to start my own work log. First a little back story about myself. I have been modding for a about a year now and Ive modded anything I could get my hands on. My first major build was my last project before I heard about this site. It started with a window, then a wire tuck, the Lights. Now I wanted to do a build that would be completely custom.
Soooooo, I dug up one of my old computer cases and started tearing it apart. The Goal: To create a super bad ass Aluminum and Bronze case. So enough chit chat PICTURES!!!!
The start:
Dell 8250 case

Torn apart:

The two parts:

Already started the window cutouts, removed some of those lame rivets they use to hold the case together. Also removed the smaller drive bays as I have something else in mind.

One feature I really like was the swivel opening. I'm going to keep it but use a servo to move it open and shut.:twisted:
Ill decide on the hardware as time goes on. Only thing certain is that I'm going to be using the M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition mother board by Asus since I have it currently and absolutely love it.
