Please don´t, I was very upset and quite sad when this happened, ironically not so much because of the work in doing it, but the work of fitting everything in it : (
But back on topic!! Your case rocks! :D

Sounds & looks good!
Just curious, why do you make (this one and the previous one) wider than a normal case? for ventilation?

It's wider due to the psu being mounted directly behind the motherboard. Also, I use the frame on the left side of the case to mount the left side of the optical, fan controller or any 5.25 bay device. The right side of the optical mounts to the middle panel (the one where the mobo is attached). The right side frame mounts the right side of the hard drive and the left side mounts to the same middle panel. To see a closer look from the design of the larger case: http://s954.photobucket.com/albums/ae26/Lazerwerx/Quad%20Tower%2024/

i think i might make my own cnc router milling machine... after watching this video, http://www.youtube.com/user/AtienzaLouie?feature=mhum#p/u/13/xBm4LWCNMF4, i think I could make a table big enough to user a router and cut the acrylic with that instead of a laser cutting machine. Cost would be way lower and only difference is that I would need to flame torch the edges of the acrylic.

Loving the designs and work bro. Totally custom ftw! Any chance of individually sleeving all the wires and cables with purple and green? I think that'd top it off perfectly.
Just as any other form of art, modding is a passion, not just a hobby. We fawn over it, we love it, we hold it near and dear to our hearts, we are passionate about it. We are modders, and we are artists. Also, if you like any of the advice I give, please recommend I get a BR, thanks!

The table size is roughly 3 feet x 4 feet mcyhanick

I bought this one from Legacy Lasers. Dean, the owner, is a really great and helpful guy!!! Alex from FrozenQPCMods bought one as well. http://www.legacylasers.com/1100_Series_Laser_Engraver_cutter.htmlPM_DMNKLR

I was thinking about it, but I think Thermaltake PSU's have custom plugs and I wouldn't know where to hide the extra cables if I used extensions. I will look into it...any suggestions?
