Update!
I spent a good 4-5 hours designing and then cutting these panels out..
They are the Top, Front (still needs etches), Bottom and rear panels. The notches in the front and rear panels are for the motherboard panel, and I havn't made a hole at the back for the I/O ports yet because I don't have an mATX I/O shield to hand at the mo!
They all fit together using a series of male a female teeth as it were... Here are some of them flat together...

A close up of how the teeth fit together.. They are 10mm long and 5mm deep (i'm using 5mm acrylic for these)

The rear panel. I still need to mill the hole for a DVD drive, but I'm still deciding between brands and sizes. The rear PSU port should take basically any PSU (fingers crossed! :dremel

And how it basically looks now..

I did do some more work, but unfortunately I also ran out of battery in my camera :sigh:
More progress tommorrow! :thumb:
Update!
Right, I told you all that I ran out of batteries yeserday, so I went down to do some work this afternoon, and took some pics..
Here's how it was as of last night...

So anyway, I pulled out my now defunct Hiper Type-R PSU and took it with me to test fit in the PSU port this afternoon

Fits like a glove :thumb: (I'm relieved becuase I was basing the hole distances on an internet diagram :worried


Space is quite tight, but I've quadrouple measured everything and there is enough room for sure in there.. (i'll also be using a slightly bigger PSU)

with the motherboard tray in.. It attaches to the front and rear panels with 8 20mm tabs (4 on each side)

and finally, showing the dimensions..


And last, but not least in the slightest, I need to thank some sponsors!
Firstly, Willie from HWLabs and Specialtech For hooking meup with a special edition Black Ice GT-Stealth 240 radiator! Thanks alot! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
