Case design help

This is a virtual project of sorts.

I'm in the process of designing my own case from scratch but I'm not sure how to build the main frame.

Does anyone have any ideas of or pictures?

I'm thinking of working with alloy L angles or U angle but can think of a way to do the corners that I could do with general DIY tools!

What material are you using steel? It could be easier to send it away and get it shaped then when you get it back, use a pop rivet gun and put it all together, then you can make a start on the back, front and sides

This is what I have so far. I'm planning on using alloy angle sections and sheet alloy.

I'm only going to have 2 drives so I will suspend them from bungie cords.

I plan to cheat a little bit by using some of the Lain case spare parts like the ATC trays and http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=234&cl_index=2&sc_index=6&ss_index=121

This is what I have so far:

Going to start off square ish the tweak. I put the motherboard in to give an idea of size
