in plans to build my own case from scratch. I've modded all my cases to hell and back but in the end it's always someone elses case to start from. :mad:

My plans are to be as close to a SFF pc as I can. My current PC is a xpack with a full 240mm rad. I've pretty much gutted the whole thing and while it works very well it's not completely custom. I'm planning on using a ATX mobo ( ASUS P5B Deluxe LGA 775 - 12" X 9.6"). The footprint of the pc should be no bigger then 12X10 which is acceptable to me.

What I am wondering is has anyone else build a case from scratch (no I don't think I'm the 1st person to come up with this idea I just haven't been able to find any other threads). If so did you keep a work log? I'm trying to get some ideas and view so I don't make too many mistakes. Plus is always nice to see what path other people have taken. :D
 
I can't believe no one has build a custom case or at least has a link to one. :(
 
Not quite from scratch, the main exterior is an old breadbox, but the rest was custom.
