SWEET!!!! I'd be interested in the cost of such a case.

Mind PMing me the cost of this case? Both materials and what you're charging? Always looking to expand my list of 10 slot cases.

Very nice again.

The two shelves were cut from a .10-inch thick 5052 via my trusty router, a straight edge and a downcut spiral bit.


At the back corners of the shelves, two .5x1-inch cutouts were routed out via a temporary router jig.



The rounded inside corner left by the .5-inch flush router bit were filed square.


FWIW, here's the difference in the thickness of the aluminum sheeting I use compared to everyone else.


Finally, a mockup of the shelf inside the frame of the case:

 

Looking great so far! Can't wait til it's complete! Good luck with the build!!

WOW!! 33" tall WOW!!!!! I've been waiting for you to build this monster!!!!! I'll be sitting here admiring your progress as usual!!!

I wish I could do with metal as I can with wood and acrylic. GLWP / can't wait to see it through completion!

Very impressive work with the sky as the limit for the cooling potential.  I love it, solid fabrication and construction and excellent design! Good luck with this build and I will DEFINITELY be following this one to the very end, just like all of your other, truly stunning case builds.  

I won't lie to you...building these cases one at a time is expensive.  Someday I hope to build a small batch of 'em, but how many?
 
PM sent.  

whats the thickness of the aluminum stock that you use?

oh ok, thought that was just the brackets. Nice man, can't wait to see the build progress unfold!

Question.
How did you make those "end blocks" for the pieces?
I was scouring the net for some kind of case build of this nature to follow for my pedestal I want to build for my HAF 932*so I don't buy a case that I don't need :P.
I have the measurements that I want for the pedestal, but to make a frame for it has gotten me baffled,
 

Holy mackeral..
Just what I was looking for.
How hard is it to implement one of those motherboard trays onto a home made panel?
Only that would hinder this for me is my lack of tools haha.
How much would you charge for making a simple Cube structure just frame, I can assemble it when it arrives
Say 14"x22"x10", W x D x H, and in inches

Next up is to cut the front sheet.


In order to cut-out all of the openings for the 5.25-inch drives accurately, a custom router template is required.  I used .5x1-inch u-channel and .25x1.25-inch flat bar to frame the openings on .5-inch particle board.


The aluminum bits guided my flush trimming router bit.


The aluminum bits were removed and the particle board template was used to cut the .10-inch thick aluminum sheet.



Now I just need to square all of the corners and cut to width.  Ugh.
