Did the desing on Autocad, took me 3 weeks to find a shop with a laser cutting machine able to read autocad DXF with a precision of 1/64 inch. And allow me to use it for a non industrial production :p

A for the whole case mod (the B+ lowered it from A+)

Wow. Simply beautiful you must have spent a great deal of time on it and it shows. I give it an A+ because I could never do such a thing.

Bah!
I had to learn how to work with Photoshop, Illustrator and Autocad, its not that easy :p
Dremel was impossible, it would have done an ugly work and i wanted it to be perfect :)
Thanks for the cool comments!

That was a superb job.. The Power Supply Sleeving looks goo, and the Laser Cut is Awesome. What did you use to attach the window.
Love that ANTEC Case!!

Epoxy.
Had to Scratch the aluminium a lot, and the window too where
the aluminium touch it so the glue could have a better hold.
The window is Lexan, its harder than plexi-glass, it was very hard to scratch.

One thing to note, the hardest thing to do in a case mod IMO is Hiding/Sleeving the wires. Its incredibly hard to hide them. It took me easylly more than 30 hours to sleeve/shrink tube that crap out.
Especially when you are beyond 4-5 peripherals.
For my case,
3 fans
2 HardDisks
1 CD rom
1 Floppy
4 Temp Sensors
1 CCFL Light
1 Fan Controller
Power Supply connected to the Vid Card and Sound Card
It was a good challenge :)

Yeah, sleeving and hiding cables in a case is almost like an art-form - it takes a while to 'perfect' your craft, but once you do it looks damn good. ;)
Great job, BTW! :cool:
