Moved the HDD/Power lights to the roof as Aircraft Warning Lights. Re-mounted power & reset buttons on top too.

Renovations!

Most of the external work is done, now on to some of the plumbing (so to speak). Some new parts arrived this week. Some for taking better pictures and some gear for inside the case.

CPU & memory are on order. Also looking into a PSU and some cooling. Hoping to get it all into the box soon.

I've been trying to address some troubles I've had taking decent pictures with the camera. Most of the pics are actually from my phone.

I think I have things settled now. All of the mobo pics are from the camera.
