Building Your Own Case?

Hey there! I have been really excited to build a somewhat portable, to be watercooled build in a few weeks, computer, but I just can't seem to find the perfect watercooling case. My original plan was to go with the bitfenix prodigy and do some case mods to it, and if I don't decide to do this then I will probably stick to that plan. Anyway the question is, should I just make my own case? Where would I start - research, how to, what materials, ect.? Any help would be great, I have a ton of tools at hand, my dad is loves engineering and my family has a construction business, so I would have some guidance on how to do basic things like welding from my dad. Again, all help would be great! Thanks!

You have to wrry about mountability, airflow, and precise bays and such so stuff cant wobble out. Its a cool idea, but I think you should start out with buying a normal case, then doing the project. Dont rely on it first.

Yea my plan is to of course hold the computer in the Prodigy while I work on the custom case :P so you think I should start on a schematic?

Well I personally use Maya and others have often used Google Sketchup.
