So below is the first progress in this build, today I wanted to get the sections cut out for the acrylic windows,
get the back piece of MDF wood cut out which will act as a support for the whole build as well as provide a solid panel
for me to screw my motherboard tray and mount my power supply to.
These 2 panels were cut out using a dremel. First I taped up all of the edges which help to create a nice clean cut and it
also reduces the risk of me slipping and accidentally scratching an area. Second I marked out with a pencil the area
that needed to be cut so I had a guide line to follow. When using the dremel I let it do the cutting instead of forcing it which
normally leads to slips. After the windows were cut I filed the edges down to remove any bumps and loose metal.
Last I grabbed the dremel and a polish wheel and ran that along the edges to make sure it had a nice smooth clean finish.
In the back panel I wanted to add a MDF panel to strengthen the build and provide an area for me to mount the motherboard tray to.
I cut out the panel using a jigsaw and filed it down to size. The panels have screws in them so I had to cut some grooves in the
MDF so that the screws were not interfering with the installation of the Panel.
Now that I had these cut outs complete I put the build back together to test fit some components to insure my ideas were going to work.
For testing purposes I am just using my test power supply to see if I can mount the PSU in the correct space without ruining any other plans.
All three windows are cut out and are ready for some plexi glass.
Thank you for following the build everyone, please check out the video below for Progress 1 of the build in video and
some of the cutting processes and building process I went through.
