Yea soooo... i bought some special adhesive and did some final trims, got the dvd drive hole cut roughly so still got a bit of work to do on that, in perspective heres what still needs to be done:
-cut out io sheild hole
-cut out 80mm fanholes
-cut out power button hole
-assemble pieces
-order parts
-install parts
-Tell my parents im Not CRAZY...well not too much anyways

Well...thanks for the Enormous amount of helpfull replies jk, i have decided to go ahead with that power button and cut the hole

here you can see the power supply hole

the inside of the case

and with the door on

this was done with masking tape it is not permanent i assembled it just to see it i am impatient, really all thats left6 to do is drill some ventlation holes cut out the io shield hole and install the parts

[985323]

Ok then so i got the io shield hole done and drilled some ventalation holes

heres one with the io in place

and finally i added the fan to the top

, I ordered the parts on friday so if everything goes to plan it should be done by the end of the week. Please Comment

and good news the glue works

Comment Please

yea i know its just me and my dad are perfectionists so...but what ever.
So yea i got bored and decided to glue the rest together, heres the top and back glued on

heres it with the side on

heres where it gets sketchy with the fan and power supply, i always do have extra plexi though

and because im impatient i took some parts and throught them in to see what it would look like only the dvd drive is goin in the finished product

so yea...Please Comment
