So I'm almost done with my home made computer case

Now all I need to do is buy a new fan controller, because I overloaded my current one and it started smoking real bad and I have to make the side panels when I'll have some time.

[X Mun]

Heh. Looks cool, but I'm not savvy with this kind of stuff.

[David Tennant]

Looking good, if I was making a case I'd probably stay away from the normal case designs
and do something more unique though.

yeah, I started because I was really bored, I had absolutely no ideas, now when I'm almost finished the ideas just keep coming.

[David Tennant]

What I'd like to see in a case is the power supply at the front bottom, no front intake fan at all
just a great looking brushed aluminum look (e.g Lian Li A05), three 140mm fans at the bottom of the case
where the power supply would be, then three at the top above the motherboard, bottom being intake
top being exhaust, only two optical bays and the rest of the room near the front dedicated to
3.5" bays (around 8) with all of them having 2.5" compatibility.

Like the layout of a Silverstone raven (except not rotated 90 degrees) with the look and feel of a 650D and PC-A05.

[QuAtT]

well now I have an idea for my next project. :D

[David Tennant]

I'll buy it with money!

[Milky]

Good work, kinda looks like an A04.

[QuAtT]

except its much bigger

mine is (W)230x(H)520x(D)570mm

[David Tennant]

With a touch of magic:

Case of the year all years.

After spending 3 lessons learning perspective in my graphic design class
Looking at that picture hurts me

[David Tennant]

I should be a photoshop expert.

[street wizard]

paint it black or some other matte color

[QuAtT]

[QUOTE=poopiecrap;31973796]paint it black or some other matte color[/QUOTE]

going to do that, just that I get my airbrush into a working condition

[editline]27th August 2011[/editline]

and the interiror is probably going to be white, at least some parts, like that grill (right from the motherboard tray, it holds the tray in place and is meant for HDD mounting)

[Strontboer]

Don't paint it, Keep the "industrial" look.

[David Tennant]

Hell no it needs paint, probably feels terrible as it is too.

[Cheesemonkey]

[QUOTE=Djessey;31976536]Don't paint it, Keep the "industrial" look.[/QUOTE]

maybe don't just "not paint it" but the industrial look owns

[Squarebob]

This "industrial look" looks like unfinished crap.

[The one that is]

Why put the PSU at the bottom?
Heat rises and you'd heat every other fucking part of the PC from the PSU.
I'd rather replace my PSU from overheating than replace everything else.

uh because the fan on a PSU is pulling air in then out the back of the case
if ambient case temps are causing your PSU to overheat then stop buying inefficient PoSUs

[james0724]

what was the metal box original for, was it a old case?

[Sodisna]

A lot of case has bottom matted PSUs.

[Xarxes The Great]

Just noticed this... No hard drive cage?

[QuAtT]

I might actually keep the rough look inside, but the outside is going to be painted

[editline]28th August 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=james0724;31982391]what was the metal box original for, was it a old case?[/QUOTE]

I made everything from scrap metal i found in our garage, except for the motherboard backplate, 5.25" drive cage and rear I/O panel mount with those mounting slots for add-on cards

[editline]28th August 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;31983106]Just noticed this... No hard drive cage?[/QUOTE]

I used something else instead, posting pics later but if you think hard enough you'll figure it out where the drives go

[Shadaez]

Won't it rust? Shouldn't you sand the rusty parts down, then paint everything?

[QuAtT]

[QUOTE=Shadaez;31991012]Won't it rust? Shouldn't you sand the rusty parts down, then paint everything?[/QUOTE]

It's aluminium, it wont rust, except maybe some surface rust will be visible after some years

[editline]28th August 2011[/editline]

here are some pics of the mounting place for hard drives:

sorry for the crap quality

[Squarebob]

Neat.

[QuAtT]

yep and I can always cut some more of that grill and make more mounting point for the disks

[Squarebob]

What's with the hard drive that says O.K.? Also dem fan boxes.

[QuAtT]

I once got about 10 disks, didn't know if they were working, so i tried them out and labeled them if they work or not
the fan boxes are just lying there, I'm too lazy to put them into the trash bin
