So now I have all the parts, and I have revised my plans several times, it's time for me to get to building! First up was the mobo:
No surprises here, simply bolted the mobo in, CPU up against the side with just enough room for the fan, and held it up away from the bottom of the case on two nuts.
You can see where I drilled the holes for the mobo here, there are supposed to be 8 holes, looks like I only drilled 7, whoops, looks like I'm retarded.
This is the plate that holds on the monitor mounted onto the top of the case.
And this is the monitor mounted to the plate, you can see how my design has changed drastically, now the monitor is mounted on the outside and folds down during transport.
Now I have my HD mounted right about the plate, it's all coming together. At this point I paused to cut some huge holes into my case.
The worst holes I put into this case are these. I cut all these before I found my jigsaw, cut them all with a Dremel (and in case you don't know, those are definitely not meant to cut wood) so they turned out like crap. Eh, they work anyways.
Some better holes here. Cut out three holes for three fans with my jigsaw. Not perfect, but it was definitely a rush job.
