Been lazy for a week now, but its time to get the top case done now :)

 

Here i am now, with some more rounded side panels.

Done some sanding as you can see on the case. After this its time for priming and a last sanding.

 

Things to do

- Drive cage inside

- Mounting points for motherboard and PSU

- Bottom part

- Rounded top part

Well, the walls gets glued now!

Maybe i should notice that this current state is without any putty/bondo or any kind of sanding :)

Thats next step to get a perfect finish of the surface. Now its time to see how motherboard and PSU fits.

 

What do you guys think, a Asus C60m1 (amd c60 cpu) with 4gb ram, or a Intel E8600 on a Zotac board, also 4gb ram, for this puppy ?

Just going to run FreeBSD/OpenBSD and samba shares, nothing fancy. And a Apache+php+mysql server for some developement testing.

Well, going by power usage I'd lean towards the AMD solution at the moment (allegedly ~9 W vs.

the Intel's 65 W), but I'm not an expert on either of the two, so maybe there are more important

things to consider between the two possibilities.

Can't wait, I love the craftsmanship in this! Have you thought about cooling? Or are you going to do what Apple did with the Thermal Core?

Thanks, cooling i have a 120mm fan in front of the drives, one 140mm in the bottom and one in the top.

That little roof is spaced about 4mm and gives somewhat of a good exhaust for warm air.

Also the PSU have a fan blowing out one side.

When i put in all parts im gonna use a fancontroller with temp probes to check best config, bottom fan pushing in, top pulling out and the drive-fan also pushing in. But it isnt always theory works IRL :)
