now, a few things you'll notice later on that i'm just gonna point out now. the power supply was located on the bottom of the case (got relocated to the more standard position at the top since when it arrived the power cord wasn't long enough to reach the power connector on the motherboard). again, oops. also, i changed the location and number of fans on the case as it progressed, no big deal there. anyway on to construction. a major thanks to the assembly guy at The Wooster Glass Co. for explaning how to work with lexan and specifically how to glue the stuff together and selling me a bottle of IPS weld-on. i don't have any pictures of the case pieces being cut and glued together unfortunately, but on an interesting note, the only spots i used a dremel on were smoothing out the blowholes since i didn't get a dremel until mid-summer. everything else was with a hand saw, drill, files, and a sheetmetal nibbler, and you thought it couldn't be done, hah.

some basic specs here,
the case is 1/4" thick lexan throughout
biostar M7VIQ motherboard w/ onboard video & LAN
