Looking good man looking good. Now make me one twice the size :P

Up next is fabricating a duplicate of the 120mm back fan panel, but for 140mm fans.  This time I had Lazerwerx cut me a custom 140mm fan hole router template out of 3/8-inch thick cast acrylic.



This template is a snap to use: mark center lines and lay the corresponding slits cutout from the template over them.

The latches for the top are these nice "lift and turn" ones:



The latches require a fairly small area to be cutout, with only about a 2mm "lip", so I built a very accurate router template from some leftover t-slot extrusion:

Drilled two 19mm holes for the vandal resistant switches (power and reset/hard drive activity).   
Using such a large bit (step drill) is a bit nerve racking for me, but with an extra large work surface and some clamps, I manged to get through it.



Switches!

During final assembly (before paint) some rework is inevitable.  With this case, early on in the build, it was widened to accommodate the front radiators.  But I never went back to see if the PSU mounting bracket worked/looked okay.  Plus, I never tested the PSU cutout from the back sheet with the the actual PSUs used for the build.  Well, the cutout in the backsheet for the PSUs had to be widened by 3mm in order to clear the fan grill on the PSU cooling fan.  And the PSU mounting plate looked to dainty and needed to be widened.





And with the old PSU mounting bracket placed in front of the new one:

I finished fabricating the back of the case, which consisted of drilling mounting holes through the motherboard trays and PSU mounting plate, through the back sheet and into the case frame.  Holes that went into frame were tapped to #6-32 and those in the middle of the sheeting had PEM nuts pressed-in.

Truly some serious craftsmanship here!    I'll admit I'm a bit jelly cuz I don't quite have all the tools around to do much of this as nicely as you have.  Still, exceptional work so far!

Powder coated parts have come back from the painter and final assembly has begun.

Youve been working on this for more than a year? The build is amazing, but wouldnt the customer have selected different parts by now? I would love something like this to be honest. I hate how much room my server takes up... other side, own desk, monitor, keyboard, etc
