Even your alligator clamps match the mod lol. Great idea with the plexi floor. My next mod is going to be silver, white and purple and I want to see if I can incorporate some of your ideas into the mod.

Gotta have matching clamps lol

Thanks b4i7, I really dont know what to make of it yet. I really need to decide what fans I am going to be using. I really want to find an 80mm version of these how perfect would they be !!

Started work on one of the side panels today. I wanted a strip of orange around it like on the motherboard tray, so:

Here's the standard panel:

and here is the acrylic cutout:

I took a lot of time to get the edges perfect on this acrylic, every edge is always going to be on show so I used 120, 240, 800, 1200, 1500 & 2000 grit sandpaper to get it as smooth as possible, then flame polished the edges.

Here's a picture of the finished edge, hard to tell from the picture but they are very shiny. Well worth the blisters on my thumb

Anyhow, here is the acrylic and side panel mounted to the case. I have ordered some M3 hex head bolts so the screws are temporary:

I have also started designing the window I am going to cut into each side panel. I wanted something different without going to over the top and also not to 'busy'

I had a play around in photoshop with some brushes that had caught my eye. I came up with this pattern:

To explain how I would want to look here is a printed version on the side panel:

I would cut the outline of the shape as a whole out of the aluminium side panel, then cut the areas I have drawn on out of the acrylic behind it. So the windows would be the circular holes and the rounded rectangle at the bottom.

I think it would look pretty good, the finished design will probably be about 20% larger, but essentially the same.

Any thoughts?

Thanks For Reading

The rounded windows will be a nice contrast to the cubical case. Keep up the good work!

Personally I would change one spot in the window: The cutout in the lower left "corner" of the rounded rectangle is too small to fit the rest of the design. I would leave the small bubble without the cutout in the rectange. Only my two cents.

Thanks for your input, I totally agree.
Infact once I had cut the window I wen off the idea al together, typical ay.
Back to the drawing board.
