Raven, I got my black YY cube today !!! This thing is a picture of excellence! This is the PERFECT size. Its not to big, not too small, but just perfect.
With this beauty I can do some awesome work. When my LCD tv display gets here in a day or two, I'm going to work on designing a bracket to hold it in middle bay slots since I have very little use for 5/14' bays anyway.
Idea #1:
The bay is close to 6 inches wide, which should be pretty close to what the screen is. I plan to make a little enclosure that has rails that will allow me to install it so that it comes out to a perfect fit among the other bay covers.
Idea 1a:
I thought about modifying the door on the cube and installing a window in it so that I could see the display behind it.
Idea #2:
Remove the face panel from the cube altogether. I could simply design a very neat housing that I can put the screen in, which will fit in the middle 5/14" bay slots. I would have to paint the face underneath the face panel if I decided to go with that route for a neat, consistent look.
This case turned out to be a lot nicer than I thought it might be. Even the drive bays in the rear are easily removed, so that makes plenty of room for my radiator and PSU.
The 1 thing I wish was different was the PSU placement. Its at the bottom and I wanted to put my res on the bottom incase of a leak. I dont want my res above the PSU. I may just put the res on the floor of the unit infront of the PSU. The are stamped elevations to hold the PSU from touching the botton anyway, which makes me think less about the danger of a leak. My water circuit could probably drain 100% and it wouldnt be an issue.
This black YY cube rocks. IMO, there isn't a better choice!!. I cant wait to design the display enclosure.
