    Project:

    I dont really have a name for this project at the moment, nor do i have pictures. But i thought i should start a thread and get some.

    Basically my idea was to make a Test Bench, but i really didn't like how big most of them are. So i went and got myself some acrylic cutting boards, and some other supplies, to make my own.

    I will update with pics and more info soon!

    Next on the list is to fit the back, and attach it. Then cut and thread the holes for the motherboard.

    Alright, so after some thought i decided to scrap this one, and start another one with bigger cutting boards. With the very small size of 14 x 10 inches I'm just running into too many problems considering i don't really have access to many tools. So I'm going to go out and pick up some other one, and hopefully after Sunday i will have much more time to myself to work on this!

    So, for all 3 of you who are watching this project, an update!

    I decided that the previous cutting board was just much too small, so i went out and bought another and started anew. I cut it to size, cut the holes in the corners, and attached the back I/O panel.









    Let me know what ya think!

    Hell with the test bench. I want to know whats in the gun locker!
    Boy that info was old. As am I. Currently my kids have taken over my desktops. They are both sporting matching GTX1080's. Last Christmas I got everyone Oculuses and thus GTX1080's. My eldest is some sort of CSGO champion gold label something or other. Me I work and shoot real guns. Build Comps as needed.

    Very nice and clean mate. Just one question, is there any plans / potential for the lower shelf other than the PSU?

    Nice to see your still around man

    Well, i currently have my SSD and HDD just sitting down there. Had an older HDD cage all painted and ready, but decided not to use it for various reasons such as securing it and the fact that i have an SSD.

    So im lookin' at possibly getting something to hold my HDD and SSD.

    Also, might be stickin a quad rad down there aswell, if i convince my self to drop $400 on the watercooling setup

    I actually decided to just use the ol' rubberband trick for my SSD.

    So i got up and finally finished up completely, by adding that HDD cage.

    Pics!



    EDIT: Seems as though one of them didn't upload correctly, see attached for the picture.

    None. But with a fan on that side it would cover like 1 and a half.

    I feel like i need to work on cable management... But i really dont know what else i could do except sleeve them...
