Ok, i finished wrecking my old Chieftec Aegis case to scrap :) here is what the backplate looks like nicely sanded ( i hand sanded it :/ ) and in its new home :) also, i will need to cut the hole for the cpu cooler mount and so i can put a 92mm fan back there.. it helps allot with chip cooling :)

i also added mesh to the PSU tray

And something i think could be really nice if i manage to do it properly :D

Kinda odd that the PSU case is perfect dimensions to host 2 3.5" hard drives :D and 80mm fan :D

This is incredible.... Many people would pay big bux for this.  What program did you use to design the case?

Ok, so i tossed everything on so i can see how it looks and my dog came to inspect it... :D if she could, she would have gotten her self inside in no time ( i gotta post video of us trying to get her out of the car :D )

*the red thing on the top is from my old sidepannel, will use it later as a mesh for somewhere :)

 

Also i started doing some work around the cabbin, this is first look, i need to straiten it before i can use it... it will only be a mold for bending acrylic glass pannel so it is gonna be entire side bent :)

Now we need a front loader, a scraper, dump truck and don't forget the tractor trailer!

Ok, today i figured out i could have take a cabbinet and modify it for the thing i did in the end :D

It seemed logical to make it like this instead of making it out of 3 parts...

Today i totally rebuilt the side pannels... one of those days when nothing fits, and i was so angry about it... so i had to do it right this time! I made them from far better quality wood, more precise, with new tools... looks 10 times better and works properly now (the sliding mechanism)... 

 

The wood is 10 times better, more compressed, easyer to manipulate.

Got a template for 480... and did it right!

Smoothen the edges...

And last, but not least, see the difference!!!
