Thanks guys for the compliments. Were still in the process of gathering the fittings (if they ever remain in stock)

We did finally get our hands on two 480's SC's, now for the memory, blue ray drives, custom made fan filters and the rest of the build will continue!!!! It's sitting on my dining room table and I think the wife is starting to give me dirty looks!!!!




LOL make sure when you eat at the dining room table you move the case in front of you, that way you wont have to see your wife's dirty looks.  Im sure she'll appreciate that .  If you do end up doing that make sure you also have a blow up mattress.  Trust me you'll need it.

i think that might , if overtightened, crack the acrylic.
btw GC will the top part of the build be visible, the psu chamber?? because if it is, it might offset the look of the case by the psu. if it is gonna be visible, i reccomend putting acrilic around the psu.
just my 2 cents

Hopefully one day I can quit my day job!!!!!

@ rachet45, So far I haven't had any issues with cracking the acrylic. It's 1/4" thick and I tightend it pretty good. I did a test before and was unable to crack it with the 6-32 screws. 1/8" acrylic on the other hand was a different story....crack!!!!!
As for the PSU, the owner wants to see it, but thank you for your input!!!

Thank you wkoalmc2001, I'll be working on finishing it this weekend and through next week!!!

Thank you Melampus!!!!

Well we got the final parts in (updated on first page), you would think it's all ready to be installed, right?

Nope!!!  I've convinced my buddy on a redesign and will be going with an all acrylic frame like I did with the SR2 Box design.

So this case will now be sold...soon....along with all my others with the aluminum frame. All cases are being re-designed with acrylic as a frame as it speeds up build times and has the same stability as the aluminum!!!

The new design is almost finished and am awaiting a new drill press to continue on with both projects running!!!

back with more later!!!

Phew!!! It's been a bit since I last updated!!!! The re-design is finished and I should start cutting acrylic this weekend when it arrives. Along with the SR2 case.

Here's some updated renders of the new look. You can now add two more rads in the top compartment as well. Also a pic of the fermis with the blocks mounted.
















More progress to come this weekend!!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

That one will be finished this weekend. The prototype has been finished for a while and was waiting on getting the laser hooked directly up to 220V. And along with me ordering one piece of acrylic in the wrong size kind of delayed things a bit. The final is being cut in black and white.

Yeah, sorry, I've been using all my spare time I have to get caught up!!! Some minor setbacks, but it's all good now!!! Yes, this one is in the works. The acrylic arrived today with more tomorrow. Im hoping to get the two projects done this weekend.

Re:Acrylic Full Tower Build 2010/06/13 23:26:47 (permalink)
Thank you hateu!!!

Well the new design change has been a fun experience and a great learning experience too. I didn't know acrylic could go from 2.62mm thick to 3.2 mm thick on the same sheet???? LOL!!!!

The reason why im laughing is because in the design change you will see the cage that holds the dvd burners, HD's, fan controllers, reservoir/pumps is all one piece going from the top of the case to the bottom, passing through each floor and locking into place from top to bottom (no screws to hold it in place) So when the acrylic changed thickness....it wasn't a lot of fun to fix!!!

The same goes for the divider wall. Locking into the middle floors of the case without any screws. It works nicely!!!!

Pic's look terrible as I haven't un-wrapped the acrylic yet, but it will look fantastic once it's done. In the pic's you will see the new acrylic frame and how I locked the pieces of acrylic into place. Once it's un-wrapped I'll show step by step pic's of putting it together.....sorry, im just excited!!!

Enjoy!!! and thank you for looking!!!
