I'm fed up of built cases...

Alright...I've decided that since there's a lot in my wants and greeds that this time, I've decided to go for another case build.

Remember the MDF case? Well, that was dropped due to the lack of resources. This time, I've redisigned it more, and I even know which colors to slap on.

I've designed it so it will have a compartment for any extra wiring from THE PSU. It's a little box, where I can dump all the cables and close the lid with latches. There's a hole that will be added, so I can keep the door closed.

As for the side panel, I'll use latches at the back, and have it closed magnetically. I'll throw in a window, with neons, and it'll be hot glued. The window will have an air duct so the CPU can catch cool air.

The top will have an exhaust system at the back, a storage area and the USB panels, that I will add myself. There's more, but I'll hide the secret.

Nothing's concrete yet, but it will happen, but since I don't have the cash and it's too cold out, I will do this in the spring time and summer.

I need three MDF sheets, acrylic window, and some PC accessories.

I'll show you what I can do in my free time...

The magnets will be small discs that I'll dump in holes in the MDF housing. There's not big enough to cause an impact..and it'f the door only. The insides will have the benefits of small latches.
