Great build man. Your jigsaw skills are mindblowing....

I got a lot of experience with the jigsaw with my last build. But I was also suprised with the result.

All the work I have done over the last weekend. It doesn't look like much, but panel 011 and 012 were tons of work! I hope to finish the entire inner frame this week, upcomming saturday I will go on vacation. That means no updates for a week. 

 

Finished part 011

Why is everyone so shy? This is a forum, not a blog.

haha blog. Such a crappy word. I keep meaning to check up on this when I'm not mobile since the pics slay my phone quickly. I keep forgetting thou cause i always get notified when I'm at work. Looks like it's starting to come along! I really like the idea and so far execution looks top notch! I'll remember to check things out when I'm home!

Edit: finally got some pics to load by starting at the bottom (cheap phone) and i gotta admit, I'm a little jealous! Looks like you planned things out really well

Double edit: build log=blog? Haha

I'm so excited about this project! I also wanted to make a small, thin case with the GPU fans facing the same way the CPU's is. I ended up not doing it because of laziness and lack of proper tools.

I clearly didn't know what to do, yours looks really well thought and nearly perfectly executed, bravo sir.

Question: why did you glue 011 and 012 together? Are all those cut outs on them just for cable management?

Yep, that's right. Purely because of cablemanagement. 011 and 012 together form one solid panel. I am gluing the frame together at the moment, tomorrow will be an interesting update.

Well, the frame is finally done. Two days spend mounting everything together. It suprised me how light the frame is. You can easily pick it up with one finger. And despite the low weigth, it strong as a house. I won't try it, but I am shure I could stand on it. Enough words, pictures!

Die links van Nederland.

Good job btw. Loving that craftsmanship.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Another two days of work. Did not feel like doing anything after I came home from vacation :). I decided to finish the interior a bit more before continuing to the exterior. There still has to happen some small things to the interior, but it is fine for now. Also, in the near two weeks, some interesting packages will arrive. 

 

Working on the cover for the SSD's

A small piece I still had to made to hold the GPU in place

And of course, everything fits nicely :)

Test fitting my Gigabyte GTX970 G1 Gaming. It fits perfectly, with 3-4 mm space left between the GPU and the SSD cage
