and finally, after months doing nothing and lagging, my project is done.

edit: TKS Twista for the link!

edit 2: Everything was made from scratch, all the holes, cuts.

the only thing missing in the pics is the LED inside the HDD, I wired it to the HDD activity pins on the mobo, I guess I plugged something wrong, will fix it soon. Once I get an OS on this sucker, I'll get the graphic VFD working too. Also, when the DVD-Rom is closed 2 green leds are on, when it opens, a super bright blue led turns on.

and I have to give credit where's it's due. I got the idea from
here

Linear wrote a great guide, I read it, borrowed his "square design" and this case is the finished product.

Wow! :Q That is way cool! Did you cut the acrylic yourself? Did you do everything yourself? I.E. all the holes, the design etc?

That's a great job. 😎 I like the see thru HD and DVD. Watching the HD work must be a trip. 😀 More details, please.

Where's the HDD LED mounted? It'd be cool to get a Surface Mounted LED (tiny) and stick it on the end of the HDD read/write head, and have it linked to the activity signal headers. Don't know if that'd throw off it's movement though.

yea, I def. can use a better camera, wish I have the money.

the lcd is a vfd, i don't have the software to run it yet.

there's a filter over the only intake so dust shouldn't be too bad in there.
 
You need to submit pics and story to MaximumPC! They have a readers "Rig of the Month" on the last page of each issue that features nice custom case mods. Yours would have to make the cut! I would love to see the HD work!
