Looks great. I'm still of the mindset that in order to truly show off the build it needs a top window over the mobo, not just side windows to give everyone the best showcase of a build.

Thanks guy's!!!!
The temps are really low!!!! Everything running at stock and using the stock intel cooller the cpu idles at 22C. Mobo runs real cool too as I have the top fans firing the air directly down on top of the CPU and Ram. So that makes all 4 fans as intake and all the air blasts out the back.
I haven't OC'ed yet or run any tests as I can't seem to find the time!!!
I was going to go clear or smoked on top but wanted the EVGA to stand out. I guess I could have etched it into the clear acrylic....maybe next time!!!
Total build time and design was around 3 weeks.
Thanks again guy's!!!

Sweet build GC. When you do get to water cooling, what are the plans for the reservoir? I modded a TT lanbox lite and watercooled my 285, but I did some unorthodox things but it works.

Thanks again guy's for your kind compliments!!!
Im not sure yet. I did leave room in the top compartment, left side for a pump or res/pump. Just have no $$$ to do anything right now as all my money goes to acrylic....LOL!!!!

Teng, it has a limit of 17" cards....  If you look at the pic and see the glowing blue sata cables and the cut out, right next to them is a 9800GTX. From that point on to the front fan is the extra room for longer cards and the space for a reservoir or res/pump. Better pic to show the space....the case is 17" long.

My buddy went to a class on building fine furniture, maybe you could teach a class on working with acrylic - cutting, edge finishing, drilling, hole cutting, etc. :-)

This looks nice. Reminds me of mountain mods h2go a bit.
what are you cutting the acrylic with to get the edges that clean?

Thanks guy's!!! I very much appreciate the comments!!
I cut the acrylic using a CO2 Laser CNC machine to get the edges nice and clean, so I don't think having a class would be of much help. I built my first two cases by hand though, but much has changed since then.
@Seth, yes there's a mount for a 360 rad.
