    Been soooooooo looooooong.


    Gone mini-ITX all the way now.


    Upgraded the HTPC to a z97 mobo with i3 4370 3.8ghz dual core 4 threads, far snappier than the AMD dual core 1.5ghz I had.


    And


    I sold the 2nd GTX 770 figuring it was a waste of electric for a smidge of extra eye candy so went mini-ITX for the gaming rig since the onboard audio was excellent on the HTPC.

    Specs going into this one are.
    Corsair AX860i
    Gigabyte GA-Z97N-GAMING-5, I was that impressed with it I bought a 2nd one.
    i5-4690K @4.3ghz
    Noctua NH-D14
    8GB DDR3
    4GB GTX 770
    256GB SSD
    1TB HDD

    So with the mini-ITX spec I designed & made a new case more suited.


    And I'm calling it, Cubeydoodar.































    The mesh will have to wait but what you see here took 2 good sessions, I loosely based the internal layout on a Lian Li case I like, supports 300mm GPU & 170mm CPU cooler, 1 HDD, 1 SSD, ATX PSU, was thinking back to basics on this one.

    I did the panel edges bevelled like on the NUC project for nice sharp edges & used 10x 10mm nut blocks.


    I'll post again when it's complete.

    And yes, this means the ATX case isn't going to be used & this is probably the messiest project log evar, woooo.

    Added mesh, a window, USB 3 ports & a vandal switch, also painted the front & back panels a metallic graphite grey.














    And it's now good to use so see you when I feel like making a much lower profile HTPC or decide to make a new case for the ps4.

    Took a few shots of the original idea for closure.
















    It's a wrap, no hardware to put in these so empty systems is the finale on this one.

    Awesome work Waynio! It's a bummer you don't have awesome kit to put in there.
