First cabinet, currently unnamed (Update 10/19/10: It's Alive!)
GoingIncognito:
The decasing begins!
The parts will be mounted to the rear door so when it hinges down I have easy access to all the computer components. Last night I began taking things out of the case and roughly laying them out where I want them. I didn't get around to removing the motherboard, though.
Yes, these are from my cellphone. Yes, I was too lazy to go get my real camera. And finally, yes, I am working in my basement (but not actually in my workroom on my workbench since it's being used for storage right now ::))
Laying some parts out:
Wire spaghetti preview:
Motherboard still mounted inside case, along with related button/USB/LED wiring and two fans I plan to use:
Some of the extra parts I have just in case I need them, mostly fans, LED bits, screws/standoffs, and some mounting stuff. Didn't know if I wanted to use any of it, but thought I may as well get it all out. Not shown are the extra molex and wiring stuff, USB extensions and some wiring bits for the power strip (going to mount power strip inside with a single connector on the outside to plug into wall):
XNIF:
looking real good. Just wondering.... is it possible to fit a bigger TFT in this case?

The design as modified by Martoon fits my 19" 4:3 LCD nicely, but since it's roomy inside you could probably go bigger. You'd lose some bezel space, though.

nice build dude .. so far i know 19 inch tft are 5:4 ratio . u'd better scout for a 20 inch dell / hp whatever with 1600x1200 panel.
GoingIncognito:
Yeah, you're right. The 19" is 5:4 :) and the native resolution is 1280x1024 (Viewsonic VX900 IIRC). I used the 19" because I had an extra one I wasn't using and am trying to save some cash where I can. Don't happen to have a nice 20" LCD you're looking to give away for free, do ya :D.
