everything is fabricated except for the motherboard tray with backport atx plate. the frame is welded among a few other things. the panels themselves are siliconed in place .

today i am trying to cut for case doors , once i have this done i will have more pictures posted

How did you do the perforations in the side panel for airflow?


MassiveOverkill said:
She didn't, that looks like a standard side panel from a cheapie case. Am I right Jen?

i reused the old side panels from another case i had here , just cut it down to fit . was very difficult for the panel with the vents . i think case was a inwin may be wrong on this.

will try to add more pictures later today after i have cut some holes in the side panel for the connections mouse / keyboard and video card etc .

trying to recover from yesterday of haveing to go see doctor , still very dizzy this morning

i am fortunate that my father had alot of tools that i am to use today . the welder is only one of those tools i find use often around this place.

camera is messed up , its my roomates . someday i will purchase a camera for myself that will take nice pictures

i will be haveing the case painted black same as i have done with my other cases .

today wasnt much i could do due to vertigo i suffer from . i did manage to cut the side case door for the mouse / keyboard connectors and also for the video card . this is all the holes that is necessary to be cut . the rest of cables will fit behind the case door and wont be of notice . i will somehow manage to hide the mouse / keyboard cables by tucking them back in to the case and out the back same with the other cables . the video cable i can do nothing about so this will be something that will be noticeable.

dimensions?

I've got a "try to cram an ATX mobo into as small a form factor as possible" project in the works here (need school's permission to use workshop, need to find square aluminum stock and sheets), and noticed you were trying something similar. Here are my dimensions (roughly):

13"Dx12"Wx10.5"H

13"Dx12"Wx10.5"H

9 inchs tall ,
11 inchs wide
14 inchs deep

if i was to make again i probably go another 1/2 inch taller . other than that this size will work well

Starting to look very interesting and good!

Looks tight but the airflow might be very good becasue it's a small space and the air goes in and out quick.

Beautiful work again Jen. The first case you posted was one of my favorite SFF cases on the boards, this is no different.

Hope you feel better :)
