That looks awesome. Where did you get the glass? I may change mine to that way. I'm sure the hinges are much sturdier with the steel instead of acrylic/

This piece came from a local glass shop, most places have glass shops hidden around, and there are plenty of online options for custom glass too. Don't feel to pressured to insist on tempered, I feel that's mostly a shipping and liability issue for companies.
 
The hinges are just modified general purpose hinges, The original acrylic ones seem to be plenty strong for whatever you want, though, and I would have probably just 3d printed an ABS replica had I owned a printer.
Finally the latch just started as a piece of 1/4" aluminum 'C'-channel.
 
I made a 'door' from foam-core, for prototyping, then used said door to make an inverse jig with the hinges/ latch on it, prepped and masked the glass, applied [3M Windo-Weld], spread it nicely, then applied the jig. After the adhesive was somewhat rubbery, i cut the jig down so I could remove the masking for clean lines. The next day was cleanup and using a syringe/needle to inject paint into a couple visible air pockets.
 

I just got my DG87 in today cant wait to swap out the build. Have anyone tried inverted set up on this case?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any extra drive bays from a DG-86? I bought the DG-85 and have only 4 HD slots. I called EVGA, but no luck. Any help is much appreciated.

You should post more pictures, from this one your computer look very interesting.
No better PC case for people who want to build system with SSI-EEB motherboards for home.
Or retro build with EVGA SR-2 and SR-X Classified.
GIGABYTE C621 Aourus, ASUS Dominus, SR-2,  EVGA SR-3 Dark... I can't understand if someone buy EVGA SR-3 Dark to look for something else.
DG-87 is natural, even if need some modifications.
This is nicest motherboard on planet and DG-87 expose her perfectly. 
This is to much beauty for one motherboard and make to feel bad...
If you have this motherboard, then you can install CPU of i3, DDR2, PCI-E 2.0 performance.
 
 
 

 
 
 
From other side I could imagine EVGA DG-87 half size from aluminum. Sick. Size for Mini ITX Board.
Absolutely same only small, Mini ITX board and option for 240mm radiators on top and bootom.
