As a base for my case, I used a convienient fiberboard tray, to which I fitted legs.
I stained the base and purchased aluminum and plexiglass, shown in the picture below
After searching for a way to eliminate scratches and other imperfections on my aluminum, I decided to sand the rails.
A side view of the completed case.
I/O ports and PCI/VGA support. (Like SLI with wood!)
A look "under the hood" of the case, with custom wiring and 80gb of HDD space (spread over two drives).
The custom power button and power LED on the case front.
