As I said, I have to get some more trim and redo the trim, but now you can actually see the shape.

Plus, my cabling is still a bit messy because my psu only has one free 4 pin molex, so I have to have a daisy chain until I get my new psu (next week).

I'll take pictures once it's all done, too.

Just figured I'd update.

Oh yeah, here's a picture of my paint job on the face-plates:

The cd-drive got a bit screwed up because the paint didn't dry nearly as quick as it was supposed to (gave it 3 hours when the paint said 15 minutes) but I guess I can't complain, it still looks better than it did before.

Let me know what you think, so far. :)

Thanks. I couldn't fit anything bigger. It's not too small though.

From the bottom left to top right it's 11" exactly, and 5.5" high.

I really need to fix the trim though.
Can you see what I was telling you about before with where the paper-towel made an impression in the cd-drive?

Vetty nice. Just the window's a bit on the small side :p

Thinking about getting a new case?

New case? I love this one. I'm not even done with this one yet.

Still needs a cathode, new psu, redone cabling, samsung combo drive, 2 rheobus' and another fan added to it. :eek:

Mark, its hard to tell in the Pic it looks a bit blurry but my guess is beside the eject button. Still it doesnt look to bad and its fixable. Little bit of Sanding and two coats of paint with some clearcoat after that will fix that problem. The trim does need fixing. With those angles it would be hard to make it one piece. Looks like some precision trimming to get those angles just right is needed. Keep up the good work CE...:D

"Think" doesn't necissarily mean "get now" ;)

Save for a Sound Recording, I've got a pretty good idea. Nothing I can't handle.

Happy 5K BTW

I know, I'm not even going to fix that one though.
I intend to buy a new Samsung combo drive soon (so I have room for the dual rheobus'. :p ) Plus, with the trimming I all ready think I should have it figured out.

I'm just going to buy 6' of it (which is like 3x what I need, to allow for errors) and use an exacto knife and angle measuring tool (I forget the name of it). Either way, it shouldn't be all that difficult to get cut, with 3 tries for it.

I'm going to cut it in 4 sections and just have them meet at the corners.

I'll post the new pictures once I'm done. Thanks for the compliment, TAZ. :)
