Hello mates and this is a worklog of my on goin Pc case build, i started working on this case about 5 months ago and i am almost at the end right now. This case was build with 3 aspects in mind Enough room, air movment, quietness.
Since this is my very first full blown pc case build it took me about a month and a half to figure out what to create and also i spend alot of time in autocad designing the pc case, Unfortunaly i no longer have the 3d drawings or any of the dimensions that i had at the early stages.
The main material i used to create the frame was particle board with 2x3" for the support. After i had the entire frame created i used 1 coat of fiberglass mat and resin to give the frame the strenght; after that i used Bondo hair to fill up the larger imperfections in the body. After sanding down the bondo hair i used reguar bondo to cover up the rest of the imperfections.
This case is based on the thermaltake level 10 case, the reason i chose this case as a model was becouse i liked the idea of having the computer components in separate enclosures thus preventing the heat build up in a singe space enclosure.

{{{{FIRE PREVENTION}}}}
I sprayed the inside of the hard drive bays with fireproofing paint, i just wanted to be on the safe side incase the hard drive was to malfuncion and overheat and possibly burn the entire case down. I will also spray the inside of the case and also inside the motherboard and Power supply area.
Paint theme:
-Black, with Red highlights
Graphics:
- From the game “Counter Strike Source “the “SAS” Counter Terrorist will be holding a Desert Eagle Aimed at the Dell Logo on the back of the Case; Across the Fan Enclosures there will be Red Paint drops simulating a “HEADSHOT” the same way that it looks in the game when you shot somebody in the head and the blood splatter that is seen on the wall, Also around the Entire case there will be logos from my Sponsors. Maybe some Flames will be placed on the Door that covers the Motherboard Enclosure. I have a buddy who is a proffesional Airbrush Artist that will make this case look EPIC.
