That's a good idea, Sam - I've never thought of putting two cases together like that. Get the Dremel ready. ![]()

The biggest decisions you will have to make are going to be regarding airflow...gotta make sure you don't have any "short-circuits" or dead spots. Cigars work great for that purpose ![]()

I'm not sure if you're familiar with them, but take a look at MountainMods.com for some inspiration and ideas! You could get some serious cooling kit in there though!

Yeah, Sam already knows that I lust after the MountainMods cases, I've mentioned them before. They're my personal favorites if I can ever get one here from there...

Those cases were absolutely infesting Australia too about 99-03. Good to see them being borged up.

I'm partial to milled aluminum, or black anodized if the finish is right. I could see a nice black anodized front panel with a brushed finish and a plexi top...but if the top isn't going to be visible from where you stand the box then make windows in the sides instead.

I'm using an old HP netserver cube that I hacked up and made my gear fit in a year or so ago.. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it was intended that way.. It's my murdered out mod, flat black box with a couple of splashes of brushed aluminum to break it up.. I'll get some pics up sometime..

I guess it would be a rat rod case. While looking through the paint cabinet it was either mix a few different colors to come up with enough paint to put in the gun or use some of the quart of flat black.. Not being sure what the end color of the mixed paint would be I decided on flat black.. It's kind of along the same lines as yours all the drives, the pump and the power supply on one side, board and radiator on the other. My gear gets swapped so often that I'm not a big stickler on getting everything perfect, just so long as it's clean and out of the way.. Pics tonight.

For some reason my camera doesn't want to power up. I took some pics with a disposable and dropped it off today. I'll pick them up on my way home tomorrow. It's 105 degrees and it rained this morning so I really have no interest in going back outside.

Awesome Work Sam! I'm looking forward to more pictures. Two cases allows so many configurations for hardware & fans. It also gives me a few ideas for a mod too.
