Congrats on the feature |!!

Hey guys, I'm back.

Thanks again for all the support on this.

My vacation was great. Even though the weather was unseasonably cold. It was in the 50's (Farenheit) most of the time. The last two days were nice though. I even got a little sun burn. We went to Bush Gardens, Ate tons of seafood, spend alot of time in the sand on the beach and I even got in the water once. -It was extremely cold!!!
We went to an aquarium on a rainy day and got to touch a shark, stingray and 10' boa constrictor. We also went and saw some Manatee's in the water.
Overall we had a great time. Just got back a few hours ago, so its time to unpack and get back to work on Dark Carbon...

Later.

I'm waiting for the next update.

Sounds like you had a really nice time. Good to hear from you. Now back to work!

/\ what he said

I cant wait to see what comes next! Keep up the good work :)

Hey everyone, thanks again for all the support!!!

Its been a while since I made an update, so here we go.

I finished the last update with this picture of the red plexi on the front of the case.

I temporarily put the black plexi cover infront of it so you can see how the glow will eminate around the edges. Obviously I haven't removed the paper yet.

I took a small break from the plexi work to route some water tubing and morewires.

Here is a shot of the bottom chamber. I know its quite messy at this point, but I really don't see any way of cleaning it up. there is so much going on down in this area that its impossible to make it look good.

Ok, back to the outside, I installed the remaining 2 stips of red leds around the case.

Then I went back to fabricating some plexi pieces.

These are the 5/8" wide stips that will go around the top of the case

Here are the round pieces that will go around the hard drive windows.
There are clear pieces that will be the "window"
then the two rings match the trim on the rest of the case.

I also started to cut the trim around the intake fans.

Made a quick copy with he router.

I had to route a channel out of the back side of the red plexi in some areas to fit the modders mesh. Again, I used the router.

Here are basically all the pieces I hade to fabricate. This doesn't include the front panel that is already installed on the case.

Then I cut some modders mesh to fit the parts.

Well thats all I've done this far. I'm getting close to being done.
I still need to route some channels for the leds. Glue the modders mesh in place, and then install it all on the case. Then comes all the polishing on the edges of the black plexi. Fun Fun!
