4&1/2 Bi Metal Hole Saw.. it costs a penny to get one.. Around 50 I spent at Home Depot (for the hole saw and bit), but that will be used a TON for the coming years! I got a lot of thoughts now because of this case... Even if it cost me Double what the Silverstone case would of.. :roll:

Cost is relative....Just think how much more you know and how much mor you are able to accomplish now compared to a few mos ago.

Excellent work and its amazing watching this mods progress.:respect:

Yeah, threw this mod I've learned a lot. Quite more then what I even thought of it happening.. Best part of it all, it made m think about this project more then all the bull that has been going on at work. So, a plus there none the less also!

Well I placed the last order of parts before the case is up and running... I'm going to be throwing around a few idea's before it's finished fully, but I with the fans, sleeving and wire, I'll have it all up and running by Friday at the latest.

:toast:

Then, I get to update the 1st 3 posts... :roll: I'm scared to see the full price of this build..

I can't justified spending 20 bucks on a 40cfm fan..yeah, there is a place in the case I can do it, maybe... But, the pricing isn't worth it...IMHO

I've seen them in person and they are very badass.

They are worth it IMO just because I have seen one in live action.

Yeah, their cool looking, but it's just not my style... I feel with this build it would clash with the inside....

Tryin' to sell things in my log! lol... Nah, all good man. Their a cool concept, just not my taste..

However the concept rocks, just to me they are a bit chunky.

Yeah, that's the way I feel about them also. It's a cool idea, and if I had a glassed style case, by all means it would be a sweet look. I'd throw in red and blue to make it all show... But, this isn't a case for it..


Man, I got so many idea.. lol..

Very nice build man! I've always loved the look of these cases. If I ever do a full size build, this might be the one I get. Keep up the good work!
