I actually built my own cube case. I ended up tearing apart a super cheapo case for the drive racks and mobo tray, but heres some pics

heres a pic from the very begining when it was pretty much just a frame still..

I also decided to go with dual power supplies, mostly because i could. these turn on and power off together thanks to a lil rewiring, well worht it though. also note the sweet fan grills, and imagine those fans lighting up to blue

heres a good side view pic while the case is empty, you can see the blue fans with scorption fan grils and the two PSUs with their car casings.

Sorry for all the pics, but i dont generally get a real good chance to show this thing off. I ended up sleeving all the wires with blue uv reactive sleeving. all ide cables are rounded and uv reactive.

theres 1 blue cathode and 2 uv cathodes along with 4x 120mm fans, 5x 80mm fans (and thats not counting PSU cand CPU fans).

To control all this stuff i put in 5 switches in the front that light up clue when lit.

If you wanna check this out some more, i have it posted on my site, http://fusionmods.net - you can rate cases there, so if you join then you can rate the case, or upload your own to have it rated.
<<sorry, selfless promo, lol>>
 
i you would be willing to, i would love to see some pics of the construction of the actual frame. Ive been considering doing this and could some help getting started and choosing materials. Thanx
 
this case is fully custom, it's made from aluminum sheets that i got already cut at the 1.5ft sheets. then theres square aluminum for the frame. if you all want i can post some more pre-finish pics later to show the construction a lil better.

also i did all the work on my own, cutting windows and some wiring for the switches and PSUs
 
What aluminium alloy did you use/what thickness/where'd you get it. I'm thinking of similar build, so that's why I'm so curious.
 
the mountain mods case is actually what inspired this one. i saw it and loved the idea of a cube case, but all the ones that i could find cost soooo much so i decided i could build it cheaper and cooler. lol. - but i guess thats just up to everyone else, haha

but i gotta say, i've done smal mods before but building an entire case really gives an accomplished feeling. haha but the next one i do i know will be like 100000 times better since i have a better idea of what i'd be doin this time.
