im not into the inverted mounting, can you make it regular also?
There's always 1 thing that comes to mind when I see your case and the TJ07 and the lookalikes,
how the hell do you mount the rad at the bottom/top so it's fastened, or do people just keep it loose?
This might look silly, but I've looked at quite a few pictures of them, but never saw them fastened in any way.
Enlighten this enpuzzled guy please! :P
Can't you see the rad mounts in this picture? :shrug:

Ah yeah, remember now, must be the TJ07 that puzzled me then :P
Mick,
I just wanted to say that I think your design is looking very nice.
FWIW, you might look around for someone who is involved in building aluminum aircraft ( ie: experimental "homebuilt" designs). Having done some of this in the past, I'd say that they are very resourceful in finding ways to build complex aluminum structures. You might find someone who could help you build your case. Check out your local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter for leads.

i dunno how u do it, but ur design looks better and better everytime i look at it...its like the beer goggles effect without the beer...get this thing built already! i wanna see the real thing
yup, the design looks very nice and promising ;) - I'm looking forward for more ! :D
Small change to the PSU area, so that you can mount the PSU with fan facing up or down. This was brought about after a discussion on my 'Liquid Cooling ' thread....

If this case doesn't get made, it is a crime against humanity.
Here's another render with the motherboard flipped.....

what happen to the quad and triple rad mounts
how could you take the overkill part of it away :(
and for the hdd mounts i would get spring loaded holders so the the screws just click in and click out
Looks like it's coming together nicely. If this ever gets into production, I'd definitely consider one.
Just thought of something, you may want to change the screw holes for the radiators to screw slots, to account for different fan spacing.
this projects is just fantastic!! :eek:
If a manufacture is reading this, BUILD THE FREAKING THING!
Seriously, this is an enthusiasts dream.
i dont mean to neat pick, but where are the holes for tubing to reach the upper and lower rads?
You can't see the holes??? :shrug:

Added slots to rad brackets and PSU can be mounted top or bottom....

very good design m8 ! :)
Hope you planning this case for universal usage? - i mean users can install different size mobos by 'form factor' standart - like ATX, eATX (extended) , mATX
-- ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX )
of course i understand, this is a concept drawing currently and etc not every detail isn't that precise or visible .. anyway just on base my visual imagination :) at the moment .. one thing i noticed
- the holes (for 24pin cable routing from backside of mobo try ) the holes should be a lil' larger (wider?)
to avoid the covering them with larger (wider) mobo
just to clear what i mean - my example is on base:
2 mobos and... 2 different chassis what i have in use currently
Asus Rampage Extreme ATX Form Factor 12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x24.5 cm )
Asus Maximus Extreme (e)ATX Form Factor 12 inch x 10.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 26.9 cm )
antec P182 - i had quite hard times to install maximus extreme (e)ATX Form Factor 12 inch x 10.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 26.9 cm ) and route the 24pin via backside of mobo try !
CM HAF932 -- this area is perfectly planned and no problems with both (upper mentioned) and seems even larger MoBo will fit well
Also how much free space you planning between the back-(left-) side panel and mobo try? - meaning the space for cable routing /cable management ?
again - i bring up an example on CM Haf932 here, because this case have ~2 -> 2.5 cm space, and it is more or less Perfect :)
if you interested - i have some haf932 photos here http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/2089.html

sorry if this was discussed already ..
