Hey, I found some more pics of the Military Case.

Here is the origional case. Its just a generic ATX made of aluminum.
But worked out great after painting it and modding it. Lots of dust...

After taking everything off, this is the aluminum chassi. Quite frail and wobbly without the panels on. I didn't have time to paint it, so I left it origional and cleaned it off.

Here is the origional outline of the airbourne symbol for parachuting.
As I said earlier, it was traced on with a marker after printing it out on paper from CAD. I decided to take out the parachute because it would make the window much smaller and kinda ruin the whole point of having a window.

I used a small punch bit and a drill to do all the pilot holes. These allow me to get the jigsaw bit in and start cutting. What a paint to cut all the curves when you can mostly cut straight....

I'm painting away with my fancy spraybooth. You probably noticed that I am trying to keep the airbourne mood with my camos on.
