The progression in skills and outcomes of the mods is amazing. So awesome seeing someones first mods to the last. You really hit it out of the park with this one. Just beautiful.

Thanks Fuganater had to be done with the nice weather that the UK seemed to miss all summer & then it comes at the end of September just in time for a photoshoot lol .
Cheers altec, could probably mod it into something good now actually , mostly gets used as a little shelving unit .
Thank you NightrainSrt4, I'm very used to seeing other modders make awesome cases & it feels a bit odd now that I'm making good stuff now .
Got new night shots here, got a nudge from tb4o Jase & Ulysses so got my my lazy bum & got stuck in last night & then got a photo shoot done, enjoy .
Got the final bit done, an extra white led strip which I extended sleeved & put a 3 pin fan connector on the end so it could pass through to the cable stash section in the bottom & sleeved the led to dim it a lot & found facing it into the corner was best for a subtle light, enjoy these final revised night photos with correct lighting .
Done

My wife just came in and asked what I was doing.
I told her I was looking at porn.

Hehe cheers mate .
Thanks billygoat333 .
Thanks mate, glad I snapped out of lazy mode to add the extra light .
I realised my next project will be a tough one to design with it not being a rematch with my earlier projects so will take a bit longer to develop the design, can't be rushed but I'll be aiming to have a plan ready by the end of the year & either start right away or leave it until early next year like Jan or Feb early .

Updated my post on other forums so thought I'd better put it here too .
2012 Project which is temporarily called Lean & Green .
First part of 3 is an ok capacity HTPC for light computer stuff & XBMC which I aim to use no more than 50w electric, I realised I don't need to use a power rig at all times & is in fact about 10% or less when I need a power rig so decided to make a dual rig, 1 for light stuff & 1 for heavier stuff .
There will also be a joining piece for connecting the HTPC to a gaming rig.
Here's some concept shots of the low power HTPC I been working on the past month or so , not a solid month but little bits here & there, if I put a solid month into a design it would look crazy & all the parts slot in/out including the custom fan.
I'm sure it's not to everyone's taste again but it'll do the job for me nicely .
Here it is with the connecting piece to join the gaming rig.
Been saving up & could have bought the parts & materials for the HTPC but bought a Hazro none glass 27" 2560x1440 IPS monitor last Thursday so set the project back a bit but woooo this is the type of quality screen I've been looking for been trying to get a good monitor for ages now but been going for cheaper ones & being dissatisfied over & over so IPS was my last hope for a good screen which is easy on the eyes & it looks real good & after calibrating it it uses less electric than the Asus 23" 120hz screen I just ditched , awesome screen .
Anyway I hope to start on building this dual rig within the next couple months .

That looks really cool. The only person's taste it needs to appease is yours. Even if someone doesn't like the style, they should be able to appreciate the craftmanship; if they can't, then they aren't worth worrying about.
Lean.
Compared to Stealthlow!
