The build
My first custom built PC designed and and hand made by laser and milling machines designed on ATX form factor for power PC installation in mind.
As you can see by my photo dated the 10/03/2010 is the first photo i took in the dark this was just a test run too make sure it all worked after i put it all together.
Photos dated 01/04/2010 are the latest update and have more to follow once amazon deliver the other graphics card and new power supply XD.
05/04/2010 - Today after adding two IDE DVD rewriter i found acrylics nemesis --->DUST! It sticks everywhere i might rethink this idea and come up with a non stick clear coating. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I think next i am going to incorporate some glowing fluorescent UV paint across some cables and use the clear acrylic to transmit around the case to enable the glow factor.
A 7.6 Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate Intel 775 Socket Rated PC.
Cost so far £2741.

I like it. I think I lot of people forget this is a modification of cases gallery and not a "gee look at the whiz bang I just bought, someone shoo did make it look fancy for me!"
true custom job and not badly done.. damn good for acrylic, I gave you a 9/10
use to have a acrylic case back in the day
