vandel switches would be good, could sink them in a bit aswel so it flush on top

Momentary toggles feel a lot better to use than push to makes if you are on a budget.

epic case

We always like pictures mate!
Especially "close to finish" ones
Stop typing and get the pics up! lol

so after i did all the work on the back, i realized that i couldn't attach it anywhere because where the screws where supposed to be, they where at the worst place possible: exactly on the angled part of the motherboard tray.
so to correct that, i had to scrap the whole thing and start the back all over again.
finally i did manage to find a back as i want but, it has those extra "ports" for your convenience to connect some extra serial ports (yes its old of course) and this will backfire as now i can't put a 120mm fan at the back as it won't fit.
anyways, here are the candy stuff. enjoy
the mobo+back combination from the old case.
fitted and installed

hello guys. I've been busy in the past few weeks but as I promised, i'm working more frequent on the case.
enjoy the pictures (yes the back is still wood, but this is going to be used as a template (measurements will be taken from this one. don't really wish to waste €25 on a back that doesn't fit :S )
sketched the back and ready for cutting (3rd back pannel but its far cheaper in wood. if it was aluminum, i would have wasted €75)
after cutting and fitting (hard time drilling)
drilled two holes at the bottom (1 for power cable and another for air)
closeup
took it for some cleaning
hasn't ever been cleaned ever since i bought it lol
flash makes it look even worse
finished looks (its kinda purple because of the image sensing both red and white. its x2 white SMD LED strips)
tried my best (scroll up and see what the inside is like )
^ ^ I LIKE!!

Looking good so far, but will look much better when you have some metal panels on it.

I love this - it's great!
Personally I prefer it in the pink/purple colour
Really looking forward to some more updates!

Really impressive makes me want to have a crack at one myself.
thanks all.
yes i'm working on the metal one but its a 1 time shot so I can't afford mistakes again (the back will cost ~20euros alone and some 15euros for the sides)
i don't have any money to waste. just found out that the back IO needs some minor adjustments. hope its not too bad :S
what you need is time. the only thing that I don't have.
(I have currently 4 exams coming. 1 being creating a website and document it, in 2 weeks.....)
