that actually gives me some ideas. Thanks.

Yeah go with that idea. You could mount it under the top panel of the case so it's unseen.

maybe you guys can help me decide on what shape hole to cut into the tube. here are some options I came up with:

Option 1: Just a large rectangular hole.

Option 2: One small hole:

Option 3: Two larger holes:

Option 4: Irregular, geometric shape cut into tube:

FYI the bottom panels will not have the holes on them as shown in the pictures. -This one actually matches the design of the bottom and panels that will be applied to the tube. so it fits the best with the overall design. but does it look good? this is what the bottom panels look like

Please any comments are welcome!

think id go with the odd shape to match the bottom panel

odd shape is the way to go. maybe a little TBCS logo action somewhere??

Here is an updated 3d model.

lookin sweet!
BTW are you usin autocad for these models?
if it is then they are amazin (never liked that program much)

Thanks,

Actually it is Autocad Architecture 2008, formally known as Architectural Desktop.

I do 3d modeling for my job so I work with this 8 hrs a day. There are alot of things I don't like about it either, but overall its pretty good.

well your good at it!
i prefer solid works myself, i just find it a lot easier for 3d stuff.

On topic: can't wait till this thing gets finished!

definitely go with your latest model, it looks really good. +rep
