Small Update for you guys 
Currently waiting for my cutting discs and metal drill bits to arrive, in the mean time all i can pretty much do is start filing down which is going to be fun.
That said, it obviously means that ive done the cutting As youll see from below all the parts have been cut (apart from the front) but theres still more that needs to be done but sadly that cant be done until the tools arrive.
So here you guys go
The back wasnt too bad to cut, though due to the size of it when unfolded and only having a small bench, it was a tricky mother.
As some of you might tell theres no curve, which is ok as im going to be doing that with something thats better at doing curves than a jigsaw. Though i am worried that the curve is too small and wont be noticable on the final product. However im not changing it as in the model everything is to scale and it looks like it will be fine *i hope*
You might notice that i slightly went ever so slightly into the line on the right side of the hdd caddy, but this will be fine once filing and sanding is done.
The PSU caddy had a small change from the original design as even though i planned for most, there was something i overlooked which i knew would happen somewhere down the line. I added another 1cm wide brace that will be folded round 1 of the struts as i was worried to how they would join and it will also add structural support.
Ths psu back was the easiest part to cut and for some reason one of my fav parts, mainly because this little bit will mean that i dont have to take my whole pc apart to get the psu out, and will mean a lot more room inside to tweak things.
Had no problem doing the rad caddy but it was the most troublesome, though this was down to a sneezing fit i decided to have everytime i was working on this bit.
At the moment im liking the way things are going, though sadly work is meaning that the pace isnt at the speed i would like
Im currently planning to markout all these pieces again with fresh masking. You can see the reason for this on some of the pictures. I made the rookie mistake of covering everytyhing in masking and then not marking it out or cutting it for at least another week. Its annoying when youre using a jigsaw and parts of your markouts are peeling off
Anyway hope you guys like the small update. Im hoping atm that i can get some sponsors onboard, though that wont be for a bit yet as this is early stages of the project. If anyone knows anyone or any contacts that might be able to help with this, send me a PM... would be greatly appreciated.
Also on a final note, metal metal workshop is great (listening to metal and rock whilst modding) think ill start a small thread titled 'Modders Playlist' to see what everyone listens to whilst modding.
Peace out till next time guys.

, and its noticable in 1 pic especially) Though there were still a lot of loose bits which obviously needed to go to get the clean line look i am aiming for.
