Makes sense, it's a more practical way of doing things.

Brushed alu does look good, and shouldn't be too heavy either.

Are you planning on CCFL or LED lighting?

well if I use LED I can light the interior from all directions. I also have a contact where I can get some for really cheap I think I might just do that. Have the whole top section lighted from diffirent directions. It would cost me some more wiring but once it is in place there is nothing more to it I guess. The bottom tray will be made from alu was thinking in the line of 1.5mm alu. The top tray however I want to make from plexi to have it see through from all directions. The parts where there will be a res or pump and wiring will be in a mirky coloured plexi so that you can't really see what is going on inside. I only want the mobo and stuff to show. I especially want no visible wiring. I will also need to make up some cables for the short distance the cables will be going however. I will have plugs mounted onto the tray where the power to the mobo, gpu and such will be coming from.

That sounds cool, I like the idea of everything hidden, but lit.

RRF I'll be in PTA this weekend, we must meet up and discuss

Cool where you be staying?

Depends...I may be staying at the Onderstepoort Vet Institute which is PTA north. Where are you?

PTA East - Moreleta Park. I stayed at a friend's this past week though. Might still be there on by the weekend they are in Silverton.

No clue where that is.

Anyway we'll arrange something closer to the time.

Hehehe. Silverton is just NE of the N1/N4 interchange. Moreleta Park is Waaaay south next to the R21.

Oh ok, those are way south of where I will be.

Yeah I know. Plans can be made though. I think I will be pulling some contacts on this one too
Will let you know.

Awesomes.

Ok so where is the design of the rest of the case? Get cracking son!

Can't work on it when I am supposed to work. It is also a tad slow going as I am still learning AutoCAD 2008 but I will get there. I am in no hurry.

Cool cool.

AutoCAD's rendering engine sux so I will be doing an export to 3DStudio Max or something like that for a better rendering when I am done though. At that point I will add the lighting and textures as well to see what it would really look like.

RRF You stay very close to me then - Garsfontein. Interesting idea for the design BTW.

Thanks Samaya.

I have been a tad busy with work the past couple of days. I think I will only be able to get to the top tray at the end of the week.

RuadRauFlessa, Been too busy in the archery range? has this mod been scrapped?

Jip on hold for the moment. Had to buy my archery equipment so yeah. I don't have a lot of cash left to play with at the moment.
