My MM-like custom case

[alphadog009]

So basically i want to get a new case that is good for watercooling, can hold an EVGA x58 4x sli classified motherboard, a full internal system, 3x120 rads for cpu, gpus and etc... and i want it cheap... so mountain mods is out of the question. I have decided to try and build my own but before i do I want to find out the feasibility of it. Note i will be using tools that are in my schools wood shop so i wont have to pay for any type of cutting and my friend's dad owns a body shop so painting shouldn't be a problem either. Note i went a little over the top with this design in sketchup but hey why not oh and if someone could tell me how to take pictures within sketchup and not use print screen i would be grateful lol

here is the front:



2 x 360 rads, 6 5.25 drive bays, 3 of which will be used for a combo res and pump housing from xspc (This one). I will also use an extra pump in a gpu loop should i have 4x 360 rads, (1 for each gpu potentially.... insane, i know)



This is the back... i plan to use an inverted e-atx mobo tray from Mountain Mods for the mobo and 2x 360 rads in the back. I have to see how tall the mobo tray and then decide on the mounting of the psu.



This is the top, i was initially planning to have a 3x120 rad up top but the drive bays would get in the way of that, so a 2x120 would fit here perfectly.....i may extend the case depth a bit so i could add an extra rad on the side of the case as well....




and a no panels view...

comments please cuz i have no experience with building cases... tell me if i have forgotten something important...

building materials:

1in by 1in tall aluminum right angles, what thickness should i get? i would need about 18 feet of this because the case will be 18x18x18... i also plan to use this to create a fan mounting system as i do not want the fans to be attached to the panels as that would make it a pita to remove the panels for any reason. Also i plan to make full mesh grills for the rads, kinda like the TJ07. I also dont want many screws visible from the outside of the case cuz i have 2 rads on the front of the case.

Aluminum sheets- i would need 6x 18x18 sheets of this... i would like it as thin as structurally possible i will also try to make some sort of shroud for the wiring.

Screws: what kind of screws would i use for this? M3 and M5 are the most common for this kind of application and i would need countersunk screws for everything... please tell me...

Thanks for looking and please comment
