There we go. I didn't feel like drawing the back as I have it on posterboard and it's just the IO cutout and the cutout for the power supply.

Also... large image warning haha.

I would LOVE to see a picture of the finished case (before and after you fill it with hardware goodies).

With regards to warping I personally don't think there will be many issues as the temperature inside is going to be reasonably constant.

Default Question about airflow in a custom case

Thanks everyone. I will let you all know when I actually get downstairs and make the first cuts. And I'll have a camera to take some pictures every so often. I don't know that I'll have a consistent worklog, but I'll take pictures of the steps and such and probably post it all at once with a general log of what happened from memory. I'll definitely have pictures of the assembled project, and then I'll finish it with a shit ton of polyeurothane and sandpaper and steel wool so it's glass smooth and take some pictures, and then put in all my parts and take some more pictures. I hope everything works out how I want it to. I know it going to be interesting with the way I'm mounting the hard drives and the motherboard haha.

If it starts turning out nicely, you may want to post it on Bi-Tech as well to get a lot more exposure.

You could end up winning a contest there, and getting lots free stuff :)

Plus, there are a lot of experienced modders there as well who have tackled similar projects.
