Let´s start with some pix. A short summary of what has been done will be at the end of the post
On this project i had simple keynote: lookin extremly splendid without loosing usability.
After the design was finished i started with creating the molds for the cf and did all fibre related work.
The next step was to clean the interior with polystyrenesheets and design a new hdd-cage.
The case itself got turned upside down to get an inverted ATX case. Drives and powersupply are installed at the bottom of the case. An aux-psu and some relaycards found there place also down there, mounted on a tray for easy access.
Step 3 included mounting the cf-elements to wooden structures. The casing is divided in a top and a front section, both can be unmounted without tools. The 2 lower rips on the front are permanently attached to the electronicstray.
Wiring everything up ( including 200 smd-led´s ), building the sidepanels and give everything a final painting was part of the last step. The sidepanels are an important part of the lightdesign. The clear styrene sheet between the woodsheets can be, like most of the lighted parts, changed from red to white lighting. The coloured parts pronounce the dynamic outlines of the case.
Another innovative part of the case is the remote control ( small box on the final pictures) standing on the desk. It containes most of the switches and buttons to keep the case itself clean.
