Another vertical member was added to the opening in the front of the case and the front panel was fabricated just like all the others.

Must subscribe. Just must.

The top divider was next.

Spotswood · Jul 26, 2010

Cutouts for accessing and viewing the inside of the top case were routed out of the side panels. I was able to re-use two router template jigs for the cutouts, although one had to be mod'd to reduce the width of the cutout.

Threaded inserts were installed in order to attach removable plywood covers over the cutouts.

My next task is to build a shelf to fix that droopy motherboard tray.

Spotswood · Jul 31, 2010

I've been sick all week, but a few days ago I did manage to bang-out a simple support for the motherboard tray.

Ugh, now I need a nap...

Hope you get better soon man

That tray looks very nice! Love the finish on it. Looking a lot like a MM case, which are great cases by the way

Subscribed! Just for pure epicness

Spotswood · Aug 7, 2010

I managed to spend a few hours in the shop this morning working on fastening the top divider to the case itself. But just like everything else on this case, nothing is fastened permanently, which meant I needed to install some more threaded inserts.

The divider is attached to the side panel's solid oak rails:

DanishDevil · Aug 7, 2010

Just found this. Sick work! Subbed.

Chicken Patty · Aug 7, 2010

Are those six fan holes in the middle panel for rads?

afw · Aug 7, 2010

Great work ... subbd ... :rockout:

Most likely would be from how he has everything set up.. can be swapped for whatever "type" of rad seems fit for it.. Short loop and clean fit.

But, that's my guess.

Could be but not likely, since there's room for four 4x140 radiators in the bottom case. :eek:

Chicken Patty · Aug 7, 2010

Would be nice to fit like five rads in there

cauby · Aug 8, 2010

Wow,it's been a long time since i last checked your project man.From the latest pics,the case seen to be shaping up really good.Do u have any idea when will you finish it or u don't have a specific timeframe in mind?

Spotswood · Aug 10, 2010

@cauby - Done when? ASAP!

Even the most mundane aspects of a build often require many small steps in order for them to come out just right. For example, in this build the fastening of the side panel covers required having to accurately transfer the locations of several threaded inserts to the covers, which was accomplished by first screwing in some button head screws into the threaded inserts.

Followed by taping a cover perfectly centered over the cutout. And then using a deep throat clamp, transfer an impression of the button head screw into the backside of the cover.

Lastly, with all of the fastening and unfastening of bolts into and out of the threaded inserts, some of them started to become loose. After testing many types of glues, the best method for fixing the loose threaded inserts was to flood the area with Cyanoacrylate glue. Blue painters tape with punched-out holes was used to prevent getting glue everywhere.

(FIH) The Don · Aug 10, 2010

can i haz your skillz

HammerON · Aug 10, 2010

Wow

Sure injoy the pics and "how to" guides

Spotswood · Aug 13, 2010

Completed the upper case's bottom.

All holes are 140mm and the covers allow tubing to pass to/from the lower case.

Spotswood · Aug 14, 2010

I re-assembled the radiator stand. Its simple yet elegant with its industrial kick *** looks.

So if I am right, you made like a housing for both rads? Looks freakin' great!
