I love cube cases. Very nice design, it is looking great. I can't wait for more.
Late update today, been busy with other things.
Thanks DF & b4o :).
Got my new diamond dremel cutting disc, not tried it yet also got very little done today.
Been in a bit of a pickle about what to do with the top ends of the side panels and how to mount the top panel, the flush rivet nuts I have do not mount well at all infact they are terrible I tested on scrap, and the flanged rivet nuts would raise the top panel by 1mm so not good.
So I searched the net and eventually found rivet nut bushes, or clinching nuts lol in size M3 18 & 20 swg, these I have seen on some retail cases including lian-li cases, I have always wondered where the hell would I get those from so I have ordered some, here is a pic of one of them.
I have cut to size & placed angle bars on the inside at the top of the side panels, I'm going to put 1 bolt into the side panel and have the top panel countersunk & bolted up from underneath so I can just remove the side bolt, remove the top frame bolts & the top would slide off, any of the exposed bolts will be covered with dome nuts when I get some except for the side panel ones which have to be removable.
Now I have thought up a plan I should be able to push on forward without scratching my head so much lol.
And here is 1 of the psu stands stuck together with silicone, it is 6 90mm long x 20mm wide x 3mm thick flat bars, filed & sanded, I will be sticking them down rather than bolting them to the bottom panel, want to leave space for the case feet.
And this pic is from a guide I came across which got me interested in polishing the case.
Credit due to Jani 'Japala' Pönkkö for the pic.

wow... polish it! will look insane!
Yep, go with the polish.
The polished look will be excellent, just be aware that if it looks anything like that example above every fingerprint, smudge, hair and dustmite will scream at you. Be prepared for some upkeep. (This from the guy that made an all-plexiglass case (black, no less) and put a plasma ball in it. Nothing attracts dust like shiny plexiglass except shiny plexiglass in a large static field.)
rofl..

Yeah, that will be the main con about it being polished, needing a bit of a clean more regular but it should be worth it :).
I doubt I'll have an update today, I sprained my neck the other day and has got worse today so unless it gets better over the day, I'm just gonna relax and hope it is a bit better by tomorrow, I can barely move my head without pain but I'm gonna draw my cut outs for the front fan grills so they are ready for trying out my new dremel diamond disc :).
Looking really good. getting closer and closer, can't wait to see it finished!
Been relaxing today as I sprained my neck the other day and was really bad today, could barely move my head but got a design made for the front fans thou :).
Used a fan grill to make a circle on paper and tried a few ideas and thought Yep that looks good for a 120mm fan hole, I'll go for that and alternate the cut out bits, this should take a while to do & be hard to polish later :).
Snow flake flower type thingy :).
More tomorrow my neck is a fair bit better right now :).
