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!!!!

Intel Core I9-9900K

    Here is the progress so far!!! It's looking badazz!!! Black is always a stickler for showing dust and any imperfection, so the next time I'm going to pick lighter, more loud colors.
     
    Let me know what you think so far?

    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?

    Thank you! Yes, here is where I buy it from. It's a lot cheaper than the 80/20 brand. Yes, the laser cleanly cuts to a high polished edge.

    Thank you! Yeah, I was thinking the same. Perhaps I'll make one with a flower print for her!

    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!
