Okay I want to build a case from scratch (cause I couldn't find any cases that has all the features I want:
a MicroATX that has
2 Internal spaces for hard drives
space for 2 or 1 DVD/CD players
3.5" external space (for memory card input (sony cards, etc.)
And USB NOT at the bottom like most cases (makes it really hard to reach all the way to the ground to put it in) but at the top, or upper middle.
And finally handles, four on the front top, back top, bottom front, and back bottom (like this http://www.macorama.net/aua_g5.jpg )
And finally I plan on putting the DVD and CD player vertical instead of hortizonal.
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to need to build it. I've went to Lowes, and the Alumium sheet metal is about $16.98 for about a 24" by 18" sheet, and they have these corner "L" spaced pieces for about $2.98 a piece about 20-24" inches long.
So I'm wondering:
1.) What types of tool do I need?
2.) Also what kind of glues are best for metal to metal
3.) Are there speical screws I should use? Like self-drilling?, also if the point is sticking out too far, is there a tool to be able to cut it and able to get into the smaller parts of the case?
4.) Are there any good websites giving a walk-through on doing such a thing?
Welding is out of the questions sine I have no acces too one, and I don't know how to do it. Thanks guys.
