So,while im unable to chop anything up right now,i will have to amuse myself by planning the res.
The front needs something to fill it up,im not normally a bay fan but the S3 is begging for something on the front to give it some detail (other than the paint job thats coming)
I came up with this.
The window has a nice chamfer on the raised section to mirror the Aquacomputer GPU blocks,when i first saw those GPU blocks,i wanted them soooooo bad,enough to buy a 780/Titan for that awesome active backplate.
A tidy looking res that will fill that gap nicely.
When i finish the SW model of all the panels of the S3 then can show you hopefully what it will look like in place.

I made a quick and dirty 'playdoh model' ,rather than the full assembly of individual panels that i prefer to do, to have a look at how it fits and looks.

wow that looks so good
and the colour of the wood of the table goes so well with the piano black finish of the case it's unreal.

Its just a render,the paint will be a lot more eye catching than that.
Thanks!
Just got back from i 49,good to see Tom and Sub there along with the Specialtech forum guys,Coolmiester,Namron and the hammer flinger Skully,plus the PARVUM guys (you should see the cases they dont show the world...)
Anyway...
I want to fill that gap under the res,I think a touch screen will do very nicely..this one to be precise. http://www.lilliputuk.com/monitors/open-frame/of701/
I will lose around 5mm around the sides and bottom of the screen but i can just resize the display to suit. ^_^
Grills cut in the doors to match the existing S3 slotwork.

I made some changes to the res design to more mimic the AC kit im planning on.
Thicker window and adding the bolt thru face plate ties in nicely with the 780/Titan blocks.
Also etched aquacomputer into the front.
+ Pins came out of my finger yesterday!
-Splint stays on for another 2 weeks....
Alu is on its way for the backplate and interior,still 2 weeks before i can do anything with it,its just going to sit in the corner.....staring at me......:madsmiley

Because Ayd wants one,i resized it for 3 bays and went a little mental on the window....
Now to send the design off to a few people for quoting.
Left the screen off till i have one in my hands,I really need to check the dimensions of the screen itself

I was feeling a bit brave this morning so i went to bend me some metal for the rear of the case.
Mark out the total width and height of the back panel,+20mm each side for the bends,remember to allow material for the bend so it doesnt come up short.
Because i dont have a press bender or tooling for the top 90,these will be fabbed on afterwards and screwed on.
2.5mm Alu
Oops....broke teh workbench.
Anyway,the panel is a solid fit,very happy how it came out.
Im a Magoo....hear me RAWR!!!
