My tech station build

[EricFX1984]

this tech station is actually a combo of 2 existing cases... when done it will house (4) 5 1/4 bays and between (6) and (10) 3 1/2" bays.

The Motherboard will be externally mounted with a set of hinges on the tray allowing for easy access to the internals...

it will have provisions for at least (3) 120mm fans on the bottom level

I am debating weather this should be a vertical or horizontal case...

also planning to have cmos reset provision

this is the front, I will be cutting out the marked space for a 120mm fan

I will also mount a 120mm or (2) on the top tray to aid in cooling the video card and the motherboard components

the top tray will be hinged at the back and will lock in place with the use of 2 small magnetic clasps

the rear will allows mounting for (2) more 120mm fans

so horizontal or vertical?

I would hope it would be horizontal (make it easier to work with) but vertical idk just have to wait and see, but sure does seem interesting though.
