So I've decided that I want to make a competely transparent cube case. I drew my design here, pretty self explanitory. Those things on the front are power and USB. I didn't draw the wires but I think I designed it so they'll fit pretty well. Discuss.
 
Looks cool. You really shoukld explain what things are. What are the red and blue things next to fan on right hand side? Radiators?

Dimensions?

What are intakes and out?

Looks good so far! Get to it!

Looks more like rectangle :D
 
The fans on the right take air in, and the left blow air out. The ones on the back and top blow out. The red things a graphics card and the blue could be a PVR or Wireless network card, I haven't decided yet. You can pretty much tell what everything else is. Does anyone know of any problems I might run into when making this case?
 
MATX? ATX?

PSU on left side after the fans? What size fans are they?

yate Loons has 140mm fans. Maybe you can knock 2 on each side and put 1 140mm on each side. Also if the right is intake it might make noise and flow blocked by the VC and pci slots.
 
Micro ATX, yep thats the PSU. I have them as 60mm or 80mm fans to keep the case height small. You're right, I will switch the left side fans to intake and right to outtake.

Here's the things I've ran into designing my case using acrylic:

1. Think about the thickness of the acrylic your going to use from the outset. Changes to that can mean a redesign (or two :rolleyes: )
2. Motherboard stand-offs, what height you going to use?
3. I/O plate at the rear for mounting your cards and other connections - are you going to make your own or use a mobo tray from another case?
4. Filters to keep out the dust.

Not sure what software you used, but I'd highly recommend Google Sketchup.
