Ah, made a pretty big blooper but can ya see it, is it an obvious error, is to me but is it to you, the viewer?.

For me it's an error I can just about live with, disappointed about it but can live with it since it would mean I'd need to remake at least 2 significant pieces, maybe more.

Would it happen to be that the fans are slightly too low?

Not that, so the error doesn't stand out as much to viewers as it does to me.



It was the PSU height allowance, in the design it allowed for 1mm space between the psu cover & the psu but with doing a curve & a bend it curved better on the right side (front) than the left, as it is right now the psu just about squeezes in with some force.

My solution is to just add another layer behind the fan mount, rather do that than have to remake some panels.

Done the HDD mount, the HDD is mounted to a 3mm sheet & just slots in place.

How it's looking now.

To do.

Front USB & power button (40mm marble).
Case feet, 2x 10mm square bars on both sides.
Surface & edge finishing.
Think that's it.

What kind of fans are those? I like the silver blades.

Change of plan for the front IO, made a cover piece to hide the intended marble button & USB holes in favour of a normal vandal switch, why? I messed up on the tube piece & had no spare tube & wasn't willing to order more.

To do.

Surface & edge finishing.
System install.

My brother borrowed my tripod so these shots will have to do until I get it back, it's up & running & very quiet.

Last minute decision to paint the Noctua fans a metallic black, added the silverstone cable extensions & cleaned finger print smudges off surfaces, just waiting for my tripod now to do a final photo shoot, probably tomorrow now, depends if my bro gets back with my tripod.

Painted the Noctua fans with a metallic black.

And 1 extra of it in use.

That's it, done.
