Well I have some good news, Im done the back panel.

I cut out the holes using my dremel and then threw on some red primer and flat black.

I then cut out the holes for all of the fan and Power Supply. (Tip: dont paint then drill holes, just creates more work ) Now I have to hit it with another cote of paint and some sandpaper.

Heres a pic with the top on and I still need to drill holes and mount this.

I decided to throw in some goodies so you can get the idea of how this is going together.

I also put some-more bondo on the front panel, I need to hit it with some sandpaper and the dremel.

I picked-up some hinges for the doors today. I think they are for gates so they should holdup well and they also seem to hollow the lines of the case.

Thanks for viewing and comments welcome, good or bad

You did a great job cutting that out, thats one perfect circle!
I like the idea of the power supply off to the side!

I mean there always at the top and the fans usually on the top. .ya kno.

Thanx, Yah the Power supply location is the only place it would fit in the case. Also sence the P.S. will have a 120mm fan on the bottom (side now), it will pull all of the hot air from the video Cards.

lookin' good

[dfigravity]

them thar is some nice clean dremel cuts. +rep...damn I love this mod!

[Ookazoo]

Cool mod man, I love BF2.

How did you do those rivets?
Also, how are you so good at sketchup?
And a follow-up, how did you make everything semi-transparent in sketchup?

I'm curious ',:|

I think you picked a very fitting structure to mod a BF2 theme in, lovin it so far man!

[NocturnaL]

Wow that flat military green looks bad ass man, and that tan color your using is the same color im doin my case. Awesome mod, ill be keepn my eye on this until its done! so take your time

[danthegeek]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I got a little bit of work done yesterday but I have to go to work soon so Ill post an update tonight or tomorrows.

Ookazoo- The rivets are just the biggest pop-rivets I could find at my local hardware store. Im not sure as the size because I have sense thrown away the packaging but When I get somemore Ill let you know. With sketchup..., well I would say Im that good but just practice with it. The hardest thing for me is the switch from AUTOCAD. Sketchup seems to be a little more deifficult at making it do what you want and to make everything semitransparent click "View", "face style", then "X-ray." under the menu bar.

Thanks again everyone.

Edit-

Well I decided to throw in an update anyways

I worked on cutting out the design for the top plate. Behind the star and 4 rectangular holes will be frosted plexi, either red or white, but im not sure yet.

I didnt finish cutting the holes because I got distracted. It turns out the star can be used as a weapon. Ninja Star TIME. (yes I did actually throw it from about 10 feet away.)

I also came up with this design for the HD cage.

I got the aluminum bent for the supports and ley me just say, bending 1/8 inch thick aluminum is not easy task by hand. I had to do both at the same time so I would get the bends right.

I still have to cut out the angled pieces for the bottom and the drill holes for the mounting screws for the HDs and the case.

thanks again.
