Hello all! Here is the 3rd build on my list. It's an EVGA themed scratch built case that will have printed panels on acrylic throughout the build. I am new to this panel printing and am learning the process while I build the case. The build is basically my mothers pc that I had built for her a while ago  . I'm running out of computer hardware for these cases!!! Here are the specs:EVGA Z97 Stinger Mini ITX EVGA 850W Gold PSU EVGA RTX 3050 SC EVGA CLC 240 EVGA Themed Kustom Case (1/8" acrylic clear printed, 1/8" P95 Matte Black, and 1/4" P95 Matte Black, 2020 Aluminum Extrusion for the frame) GSkill Ares 16GB DDR3 1600 Intel Core i7-4790K Samsung Evo 500gb SSD Kustom Fan Grills & SSD Covers Here is a sneak peak at some of the exterior/interior panels ready to be laser cut! More to come soon! Thank you for looking!!!!

Looks great. I love builds like this because it allows you to think strategically about every aspect of the case design -- because the design is yours.

Wow that looks great! It legit looks like something that would be bought at a store. Does the laser cutting leave edges that clean or do you still need to manually clean the edges up? And do you have a source for the t-bar hardware?

Very nicely done. I still can't believe how well these bars look together once done. I'm going to have to create my own little experiment soon.

Update: Just waiting on a large format printer that I ordered May 19th so I can finish the back panel!!! Huge headache for a $2,300.00 printer and the place I bought it from....it's showed up twice damaged and now I am getting no response from the selling company!
