So as most of you know quite a few of us are doing summer work to our puters. Well, mine is still in the idea stage and I'll share some of it.
Feel free to post your own work and FEEDBACK is encouraged, but PLEASE KEEP COMMENTS POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE.
=============================================
So as much as I love the P182, it's very cramped for watercooling...so I'm going to build my own case. It will be a MM-style cube case, but want to keep it relatively simple and not too flashy.
-The mobo tray is from a Lian Li PC-60, and it's a two story case... wc bits + hdd rack + psu in bottom, puter up top.
The bottom is constructed of black plexiglass... the top from a dark tint plexiglass, the black front part of the top will actually be painted on the inside so that you will only be able to see around the mobo, and of course it will be lit on the inside with UV cathodes.
Obviously the two halves fit on top of eachother (stack), but google sketchup was being gay and was crashing everytime I selected a ton of components at once. No idea why, certainly not my PC as i have a quad and 4gb ram.
This is just initial brainstorming...want to think it out a bit before I actually start cutting the plexiglass.
===================================
Anyway, on to the pics.:
