This is version 1. Tell me if you think I have a chance or should I just stop.

The Idea: 

 

I want to mount 2x quad 120mm radiators in the case. So all the mesh you see on the left front and left top will be covered by a radiator/fan sandwich. I'm making the case out of aluminium with 100% screw 0% rivets. It has two compartments. The window/left side is housing all the sexy components and watercooling whereas the other area is for the PSU, storage, and other components. I'm still working on the design. I want to divide the case according to the golden ratio. So what you see know is a 50/50 division. Furthermore. I haven't ploted any wire holes and grommets. I plan on using premade hardrive cages or possibly getting custom brackets printed. Trying to keep this case under $400. The front io plate is also aluminium. I will also try and add a usb. 3.0 SD card reader in there. I haven't settled on dimensions yet. Right now it's just my idea and concept.

Are you going to be making the whole case out of ally or is it just the front panel?

 

Nevermind. I didn't see the part where you said the case is being made from ally. :P Looks pretty nice!

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Currently I'm using Sketchup and I'm not completely acquainted with it. But yes, The edges are going to be rounded. Also the window and rad mesh is going to have rounded corners.

It looks teeeeeeeeeeeeerribly big in my opinion.

 

Like I said, the measurements are exact. The 5.25 bays are out of proportion. Reference the 120mm mesh on the top and front.
