Case Design for Liquid Cooling

[Mick64]

everything else looks pretty damn good I'm guessing you've used sheet metal before yourself?

I've never worked with sheet metal, but have a good understanding of the principals.

With the side panels, because they are two sheets, if you were building it would you just glue it together?

Yes, there are many types of glue that could be used for bonding the sheets. This also makes the side covers very strong and rigid.
