Also, if you were still interested in doing the 2 pc in one thing, I (with the help of Will o course! ) figured out an easy way to switch between the two pc's

KVM

lol, that works for peripherals, but we figured out how to easily switch between powering the two motherboards with a switch and the power button

[AmEv]

The green wire, right?

[Aldersan]

What Will suggested was wiring 2 positive leads from the button, one for each motherboard, then the negative lead to the middle prong of the switch, then one negative from one side prong to a motherboard, then the other side to the other motherboard

[AmEv]

Oh, THAT way.


Clever!

Na, the 2 pc thing I'm not too interested in... Lol.

So some progress... Have my motherboard and power supply fit into the case... Finishing tonight. Need to cut a hole in the 5.25 bay so I can run the cables down the middle, running them on the sides, the case won't close.

I painted the top sides and front black, they are outside defuming, they still reek of rust oleum.

Here's what I got so far.

Looking pretty sweet! Have you thought about liquid cooling? There looks to be room on the top section for a 240-ish rad on the top and a 120-140ish rad on the back above the psu..could be sweet! Would look something like in my case, except it wouldn't be right over your motherboard lol

I'm planning on water cooling eventually.... For now though it's going to be air. I dot want to go cheap on water cooling, cuz I plan on building an i7 rig and OC'ing it.

Another thing I had suggested to Omega, I dunno how much room you have behind your motherboard tray, but you could cut some hole's in the tray along the edge of the motherboard and route your cables immediately behind it, helps hide cables excellently But again, it depends on having a lot of space behind the tray.

Let's just say my atx power cable cant fit between the frame of the case and the side panel.
