like tittle says ^^^^^ id like to get insight on what are the common tools,materials and skill leave if i was going to build my own case i would most likly build on some scratch and use some parts i could salvage from other old cases HDD mounts,PSU mounts and mobo trays....
 
It's all up to your creativity and patience. I say planning is the key. Start with th ATX Specification which will help in your basic measurements. Here's a link:

I suggest drawing it to scale on paper first. It's not hard, just takes work.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performanc
 
Yeah patience and time i have a drew up a plan for what i think is going to be a sweet case....
its 10W x 15H x 15D the PSU will be mounted in the bottom standing upright sorta like voodoo's hexX case
 
I guess it depends on the design.. are you looking at aluminum, plexi, or a combination? You could use a shell of case and build around it too.. I know cooler master uses removable motherboard trays so you could essentially get one of those and build around it so you don't have to worry about getting everything aligned.
 
Yeah i acctually have a coolermaster mobo tray here now that i was thinking of using :)
 
Just get hardware and put it on a table in front of you. Have a drill and something to cut with. Baddaabing baddaaboom done. :D
