Yes it's a sticky stuff and you have to be quick, before you know it the resin starts hardening and can't be applied anymore.
I don't want to hide all the cables like I did in my previous case, but the cables will need to be ordered. That's why I made some cableholders. I used two layers of white aluminium from AC Ryan with some mdf in between. Strange I didn't see anyone use the white aluminium from AC ryan yet. It looks very nice in combination with the black panels.
I won't use any bolts or glue to mount the holders. I will just slide them in.
Need these small openings for mounting the cableholders. Just slide it in there.
and the result
The black aluminium sheet will divede the left and right compartment of the case.
In the next picture you can see what the distance is between the hddbox and the cableholders.
I'm also working on the side panels. Some aluminium profiles will give it some strenght and prevent it from bending.
Looks great mate, I didn't know AC Ryan made white alu panels.

Not many people know that AC Ryan sells white aluminium, so that's why they were so happy I asked those white sheets for my casebuild.
I mounted the aluminium U-profile to the sidepanels.
The profiles on the sidepanels fit inside the aluminium frame from the case. I'm happy with the result, it fits very well.
On both the left and rightside panel I will mount a piece of the airduct.
When the panels are in place the duct on the sidepanel touches the duct in the case. I will modify the duct inside the case a bit more to make sure there will almost leak no air.
I'm also working on the two reservoirs I'll use for the watercoolingVerder ben ik de reservoirs aan het maken voor de waterkoeling. Need several circles og acrylic. The small ones will have to fit inside the tube.
I used a file and some sandingpaper to get the small circles to fit into the acrylic tube. Now I'll need to glue the small and big pieces together.
Need to file and sand the big circle till it has the same diameter as the tube.
With the parts in place it's easy to mark acrylic that needs to be filed and sanded away. This one is almost ready.
Very nice work.

I glued some polyester parts, for mounting the duct to the sidepanel, to the sidepanel.
Drilled some holes in those pieces to be able to use small bolts.
All the parts I need to make the shocks, from the harddisk box, function are in now, so I started mounting all the parts to the case. The parts that came in yesterday I will show you in another update. It's something to prevent the harddisk box from flipping over to one side.
Making some thread for the bolts.
Ready to mount the part.
and finished.
The drivebay is also almost finished. It looks a bit funny, because top top is very small. That's because that's the place for the Aquaero and a VFD and those aren't as big (deep) as a DVD drive.
This is looking awesome.
Can i have it *puppy dog eyes* lol.
Keep up the work man +rep
