To put it simply, I am awe struck by your work.

I love the motherboard back panel and I'm anxious to see the top feature finished!!! Great work man!
Hey guys ,Nice to get back into this mod.
while i was waiting for some parts to arrive for H-1 i'd get a bit of work done on hpr3.
As much as i liked the first fan box, it was drifting away from the internal theme i was going for.
I decided to make the Fan box again!and this time keep it plex rather than bondoing over it.
I decided to rout the edges this time and also do the inner circles.

Because the PLEX is soo thick this time "10mm" i had to countersink the screw holes.
The routed edges are shined clear with flame.

Some drilling thread tapping and countersinking of holes are done to secure the lid.
The end result!!! i may still give the edges a hand beveling for a rounded look.

I like your work. This is my kind of work. Great job. Question,... the top piece you made. You are going to heat it and form it so that it contours with the top of the case right? Tell me you are? I would love to see that and I'm sure everyone else would too.
