wow... Are you gonna use red lights?

GC is back with vengeance. LOL you are gona make me spend mone on laser CNC mill.

looks great.

Ok, back from vacation!!! I got the acrylic in for the real build and painted one side black. I'll post pic's later tomorrow.

I had some huge issues with the black oxide screws I bought. They arrived all brown and rusted and it looked like someone sprayed WD-40 in the bag to make them look good. I was sent some new ones 2nd day air and behold... most of them were rusted too...ARGHHHH!!!! Were talking $160 in screws and nuts!!!!!!

I'll tell you where I bought them at after I hear back from the company tomorrow....








These were the good ones!!!



So it looks like I'll have to order more...from somewhere else like Mc Master Carr!!!

Thanks bud!!!!
 
Yeah I was buying from MC Master until this time....ooops!!!

Yeah, not a problem on dimensions, more than happy to help!!!

Im trying to upload all my stuff to the Sketch Up Warehouse under Gone Cruising so people can import them into their drawings...just can't remember my password...LOL!!!

but for now I can pm the files to you. They will be actual drawings that you can use as a template or change around the shape of them. I'll send them tomorrow...

Hot damn that looks amazing GC!

wow 2x now that they messed up on the screws.  Hope they give you your money back.

 Damn that looks sweet. Wish I could cut that good.

Thanks guy's!!!
 
Here's some nice clean acrylic....getting painted!!!!
 
Im hoping the red matches the rest of the case!!!!! it looks kind of orange...
 

 
I went gloss black for the interior parts. 1/8" fluorescent red
 

 
 
 
And flat black for the exterior of the case. 1/4" fluorescent red.
 
I chose smaller pieces of 12" x 24" (easier to paint) The large piece is for the front and back as it's 25.5" tall!
 

 
I now have a headache from all the fumes!!!
 

Thank you all for your kind comments!!!!

Well for this case it's going to be somewhere around what MM's cases sell for (a lot of acrylic), but a little cheaper. There are other designs in the works (cheaper ones), just wish I had more time!!!

Were going to be hitting you up with some sleeving for this build real soon. Any chance we can send you a psu and have you sleeve it? we would like the 24 pin power done, but it's not modular or do you do that?

Im off to redesign the front to fit another 5.25 bay. We ran out of room. 4 bays for the Typhoon res/pumps, 2 for Blue Ray Burners, 2 for fan controllers, and the one for the ECP (forgot about that)

As all ways great build Cruising.  Can't wait to see the finished product.

that came out nice man.

Awesome fab skills. This is the best hand crafted tower I've seen in a while.  Lookin' good!

Np GC! It's a great build. How much aluminum did you end up actually needing though?

Thank you guy's!!! Much appreciate the comments!!!

@Halo, this case uses 28 feet of aluminum angle. I should be getting back the aluminum in a few days, all 160 feet. I think I can make more cases....LOL!!! I do have others in the works, but this one is priority!!!

Update:

I decided to change how the dvd, HD, reservoir cages mount. Originally they mounted to the front panel, now they mount from top to bottom. I also decided to make the top and bottom compartments equal, so now you can mount 4 total rads in the case. Although no Fessers can fit in the top, must have thinner rads. It is also possible to run two PSU's as long as the rads used are not too thick!!

Doing this I had to increase the height by an inch, so now its 26.5" tall. And now has 10 5.25 bays!!!

Here are some sketch up drawings of different colors (great thing about acrylic...variety of colors)....and the one on the end is the next build....micro box.
