It seems like years ago I posted that this build was going to happen!!! Unfortunately, each design had an issue (mere fractions of millimeters off on spec's) and had to be re-designed 15 times. Fortunately this is being built for a co-worker and he anxiously awaits the fermis...so I had some time. But the fermi launch is drawing near so I had better get moving!!!
 
If you recall my attempt was to build a full tower case that holds two 360 Fesser rads, have excellent cable management, removable mobo tray, the ability to invert the mobo...all out of acrylic.
 
The case ended up being 25.5" tall x 24" deep x 12" wide. It can hold two fesser 360's or 480's in the bottom or if we go with thinner rads it can hold 4 total rads. Two 480's in the bottom and two 360's in the top. It is configured to hold two 5.25 bay reservoirs like the Typhoon III. It hold 5 hd's and has four 5.25 bays for burners and fan controllers. There is many holes cut for cable management. Each is equal on each side for flipping the mobo.
 
The case is made out of aluminum angle for a frame using 3/4"x 3/4" x 1/6" thick angle for the uprights and 1/2"x 1/2" x 1/16" for the cross beams. All corners were angle cut in the frame using a miter saw and drill press for screw holes, all screws are 6-32 threaded.
 
Designed out of Google Sketchup, transferred to Corel Draw 4 and output to laser.
 
This case will also be confgured to hold the 4 way Classy as well as the dual cpu mobo...anyone have spec's on the new dual cpu mobo? if anyone get's one can I borrow it? I'll give it back.....

Here is the pic's of the case at 70% finished. This is the prototype (to make sure everything fits) and is all smoked brown acrylic. The paper is still on for protection. The final build will be Black, Red and Smoked Gray.
 

 

 
There is one 140mm fan in front and 3 on top. The big rectangle hole is where the removable mobo tray will be.
 

 

 

 

 
More pic's and updates to come!!! Enjoy!!! and thank you for looking!!!
 
Special thanks to cryptospartan for making be go bigger!!! Should have listened to you the first time!!!
 
 
 
 

looking good as always ! you are the man bud

really looks great.

Here's how far I got with the test case...
 
 
I used 3/4" angle to hold the removable mobo panels in place. The back I/O is from Mountain Mods. So far the only mess up has been with this piece. The standoffs needed to be 3mm lower and 1mm farther away from the back I/O panel..had to re-do!!
 

 
 
Using 1/2" standoffs

 

 
Used 1/2" by 1/8" thick angle for the mobo mount. Drilled holes on one side for 6-32 screws and threaded them. Other side were drilled 4mm
 

 
Mounted on the middle floor
 

 

 
 
Corner cut angle view holding the frame together.

 
 
Holding up the middle and top floors

 
The moment of truth...will the removable mobo fit????
 
And it does!!!!!! WOOOOOT!!!!
 
 

 

 
Now will it flip????? Inverted ATX style!!!
 
And it does as well!!!!!!! SWEEEEET!!!!
 

 

 
CPU power cable cut out...
 

 

 
There will be aluminum channel to guide the mobo...just don't have it yet
 
 
tiny hole for fan wires or cold cathodes

 
Putting it all together to make sure everything fits...rad mounts, HD mounts, Res mounts, DVD Drive mounts, and false wall for cable management.
 

 

 

 
Nice a roomy for all cables!!!!
 

 
False wall cut outs match the mobo tray..
 

 
 
Well, it looks like everything fits nicely, just a few issues that were fixed. Now to order the acrylic for the real build!!!
 
Thank you for taking a look and thank you for your comments!!! Any questions feel free to ask!!
 
And thank you for whomever gave me a Blue Ribbon!!!
 
 
 

So far so good. Looking forward to the final finished product

Very nice! looks like TJ07 and 800D made a baby :)

Looks great! Awesome job, like they others said i really looking forward to the finish product! Blue ribbon worthy for sure!

Thank you Phoenixx45!!!

Thank you sinsear!! How's you MM case. It amazes me how big that thing is!!! I may try to build something similiar on the next build, but I intend to make this one a little taller by maybe an inch to hold the 4 way classy and the dual socket mobo...plus 4 quad rads...FTW!!!

take the paper off! I wanna see that baby naked :drool:

eviling, the wrapping will come off this weekend...although this was just a test case using inexpensive acrylic...it'll be all smoked brown with a clear green mobo tray (ran out of smoked) LOL!!!! The real build will be red and black!!!

that beast would fit my new system.
that is coming out very nice man.

Still cant wait to see the final build you'll have to post up pics once you or your co worker get everything built. 

Pretty amazing work here. Can't wait to see your progress

wow thats awesome, looks like a 800d/tjo7 on mega-roids :p

Oh wow! Jeez man that's amazing, now i realize why so many are in line to get one! Incredible! Just wanna stare at it all day

Amazing work! Keep it up, lookforward to completed build picks!
