All the "walls" will be covered with black aluminium.
Started making openings in the front for the Aquaero and the I/O box from the X-Fi Platninum soundcard. Need to decide what optical drive I want to use soon.
I also started working on the drivebay. It will be build from scratch and I will use aluminium profiles in combination with acrylic. It will be a pretty complicated construction, because I can't use the bottom of the case to support it. This because it's not strong enough and I don't have room to strenghten it, because the two ducts are in that place. Also need to keep room for a cable from the soundcard. No problem, I solve the problem with an aluminium construction that doesn't even touch the bottom plate.
First make a cut into a profile.
Remove parts that are not needed.
Looks like this.
Bend the end, by hand.
It's a beginning. Run out of aluminium profiles. Will have to buy some more tomorrow
