Project BadA$$...**56k**

[all4spl]

ok thanks for the explanation... how much will it cost for u to make me one????

 

[markkleb]

I started to make the top of the case. Its gonna have 5 fingers that slide down and lock to the bottom half. Here is a closeup of one of the fingers.

Here is a shot showing the parts together with the rubber edge (not glued till last) Also I still need to cut out the part for the I/O plate and 8800GTXs.

Its only about 1/2" taller than a Microfly (pretty good for a Whole PS and 8800GTXs) and its about 2" less deep than the Microfly.

As Always very nice, I wish I had a bench break or something so I could make phase cases.

 

[markkleb]

I use a piece of wood, 2 clamps and a hammer....I wish I had a break and sheer too (its Tin-Snips for me)

 

[NoL]

Hahaha hmmm maybe I'll give that a shot

Looking nice Mark, looking really nice! :drool:

 

[markkleb]

This is the good part, where it starts to come together. I think the Black metalic will look really nice on the metal part and Blue see through ends.

Bladestorm what color do you want the mobo tray? (brushed alum or painted)

Also do you want a handle on top, stainless, painted, what style?

And are you going to use any other PCI cards (sound, tuner, etc)?

 

[Bladestorm]

How much of the tray will be visible? Brushed aluminum is fine unless you think it might not look good with the black and blue? I wouldnt mind a stainless handle on top. I dont know what kind of styles are out there, but something basic will work. Unless you find something really neat looking? I will be using a PCI sound card.

That one looks pretty cool, I like the black powder coat as well.

How about this one?

This might have looked good if it was the same shade of blue as the plastic.
