ok so i took some progress pics for you guys to see what i have done

floor 1 and going up...

floor 2 and going up...

finnal floor



the 2 hdds fit like this also but i think they will get to hot..

i made the brackets for the hdd hiders they are strong now, still have to drill and mount and stuff slowly but steadily....


mb tray:
contact the other side(decided not to), drill the holes and tread them

mount psu (need it welded and then bolt on)

mount I/O pannel (big job)

mount screen (easy but must be done last)

HDD hiders: need to mount

velcro the HDDs to the bottom of the case

raise the back of cd rom and mount

build the front cd rom guard

mount switches (all bought need to mount/ make the alumi pannel this weekends job.)

ad fans

then paint and lights and stuff





so much homework at the moment so i might not do any modding this weekend but ill try
ttyl till then...

Nice progress, you can really see where it is going now.

1 Question though. Will you attach the Velcro directly to the HDDs to mount? If so I recommend you mount the HDDs to a scrap piece of plexi, this will make removal of the unit easier and if you remove the Velcro you won't have sticky HDDs . This will also raise the HDD up of the floor a bit giving it better airflow therefore better cooling.

hmmmm good thinking ill have to see what i can do as for the velcro i dont rly care if i leave it on later when i take it out

(bit dark but get over it ) i may sound rude but its my humour...
anywho ttyl


also does any1 follow this because it seems like only the boy from aus follows lol theres a face up early in this post thats not ment to be there

[The boy 4rm oz]

Told ya PC Case Gear were quick, if they have what you need in stock lol.

By the way, that grill thing on the Arctic Cooling fan is actually on the front of the far. That design allows the fan to draw in much more air allowing it to run quieter.

Nice start of the HDD racks.

Looking good man! I really like the setup of this case, can't wait to see how it goes all together.
