That looks very promising. Gonna keep an eye out.

Well done!

 

edit: Guessing you gonna do lighting to, how about (if possible) make different windows light up for different reasons.

(Like HDD usage CPU/GPU usage etc. Would most likely need an extra micro-controller or something but would be hella cool)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

What case is this? It looks vaguely familiar but I'm not able to place it with anything mainstream

to be honest that might just be because all mainstream cases look the same.

Well I can usually tell by either feet, internal frame or unique features like the top panel extending so far over the front ppanel. 

 

I got Phanteks P500/P600/Evolv X vibes initially but that's not it.

Weird. they must have updated the design as the case doesnt entirely match the photos used in the Amazon listing (case feet and rear fan cutout patterns are notably "off")

Probably. I bought this case few months ago. Also can be minor differences in design between markets. US, Canada, Europe.

I want to add front case facade and 2 balconies, a fire staircase, a hotel sign, more facade details, ac units, lights on the windows, a shop sign, furniture inside shop.

 

I'm looking for something like micro-controller for different lights. I'm not sure how to integrate the controller bu I will try.

I second that, literally what I was thinking when I saw that!

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

OP:  Bitchin!  Love it!

Clearly we can add this to 'another way' of making a box. 😄
