w00t for my first post!
ok down to business....i too will be making my own case. my dad has a sheet metal shop so i want to make it out of some nice brush-polished stainless steel. im gonna use my current case as template and expand it a little

(have to make room for 3 X 250 watt PSUs im gonna rig together so i can power a 226watt peltier and the rest of the future water-cooling im putting in) I want to start on the project sometime next week since im kinda finishing up high school at the moment.
Have fun!
PS: let me know your progress and ill keep you updated on mine.
