Thanks, I appreciate it SnW!
Well guys, I made a few more holes tonight. I was also streaming live again, so be sure to check out the Livestream for the newest videos. (Be sure your volume is turned down a little, as the mic seems to be working a little too well...)
So, let's get this started! Here you can see the freshly cut hole for trio of 60mm fans that will sit over the video cards. This makes for 4 holes done, only 3 to go!
At this point I decided to clear up a question or two regarding this case's strength. I was trying to think of a good way to convey how strong the carbon fiber really is. You can see with the holes cut out, there really isn't a large amount of supporting material left in the lower part of the case. Well, I'm telling you that it doesn't matter in the least. Here you can see my daughters full 103 pounds being supported by the case. There's nary a flex! I can guarantee that aluminum would not have fared so well...
With the case still in one piece, it was time to get back to cutting. For those that were following the planning thread, you'll remember that the windows on the side panels will actually be transparent LCD's. In order to get them to fit correctly, I've got to get a hole put in each side of the case for the circuit board. Here I've got the hole all marked out.
The rough cut done!
I'll have more in the coming days, so until then!
