I dunno. I didn't get a huge responce to the last thread, but the ones who kept intrest liked it.

I'm currently working on my plexi-case and it's bit diffrent than all the rest I've seen. It uses a more modular system meaning that I can move things around in the case and or face of the case w/o having to build new parts.


On day 1, (Today, sorry no pics) I cut a base out (Which I'll have to trim out later) and mounted the mobo to it using some rubber washers as spacers. I cut out about half of the pieces I need to build a front and back corner(With controller, power, Ethernet and an external DVD drive port) and mount for the power supply (which is mounted over the Nvida chip upside-down.) I need to bolt them all down.

tomorrow, I'll hopefully get some other corners cut(since I'm basically just stacking layers of plexi to form them)and bolt it all together. then It's pretty easy to finish the thing off, just cutting a top/ trimming the base, and a few windows to slide in inbetween all the corners.

Should only take 3 or so days.

the other 2 days are left for installing lighting. But will be a week or 3 off, since I'm waiting to order after my next paycheck. need to pick up some 3mm blue/red bi-color leds to replace the powerboard, and 4 SVC 4" CCs to be mounted in the corners. 2 inverters to power them. Splice in a blue or purple HDD activity light and a few other little things.
