I'm done with the side panel, finally!

#1 -- the current case, with the Seagate taken out for RMA
#2 -- The holes cut by Stainless Steel Products in Corpus
#3 -- The fans and filters installed. I kinda misjudged the holes on that one, so I'll have to cover that up...
#4 -- With the case side panel installed... Doesn't look to bad. Just needs a finish up on the black, and the hide that extra hole there...
#5 -- This is the 8-pin ATX mod I did that powers the three fans...

I'll probably get some filter material, and do my own filters, that way I can cover those holes and everything. I also have C-channel rubber molding on the way, and that will help as well... Any other suggestions, let me know.

EDIT: Oh, and before anyone mentions it, yes, I know the top one sucks. I will fix that.

Poco a poco(little by little),so begins the long journey.

I got a sheet of modding mesh when your ready(36"x40")

At least you have bukoo room. Things are getting too tight in this mid-tower, no space for
cabling to go unseen. Going to be tough because it does have a window.

Lookin' pretty decent Tas. Making a few written notes and trying to think three or four steps ahead is the hard part of doing any project that has to be right first time out.

The old carpenter's saying,"measure twice,cut once." I do that and still waste material and time. It's hard to toss a frabricated item that has an hour in it and start over but that's part of the deal for non-pros like us. Making cardboard mock-ups seems to help.

What kind of system you got there, Tas? Looks like a double system of some sort.

Well, right now it's used for gaming (wife = Guild Wars), but usually it's for SETI & 3D Studio Max. Here are the specs. Eventually I'll get my pics organized and put photos there too...
