Well gang this has been one tuff project for me,
I dont think it will win any beauty contests but it does suit my needs and that makes it good enough.
As of right this minute I am short 3 parts of being finished but its Santa Claus season so, it looks like I will have to wait till after the new year to finish up.
The good news is Santa is bringing my wife a Digital camera so at least when I do post pics they should be pretty clear.
I did several things on this project that I have never before attempted.
1. Hand build a pexiglass case.
I have built reserviors before and built the one for this system too, what made the case different is I wanted it to be fairly easy to take apart ( front and back are removeable along with the sides) the only stationary sides are the top and the bottom.
This ment that the bottom and top needed to extend a couple of inches onto the sides. After bending these pieces, the face and back dont quite fit as planed. They are close but not what I would call a finished project quality.
2. Cooling system, 3 blocks per PC and a Bix.
Not much tuff here, except it is my first try at cooling video and I used the method of making air ducts in #Rotor's article. Again Functional but not very pretty.
Initial expectations, I should have had plenty of room for a nice layout ( I still think its nice all things considered) but is a bit tighter than I thought.

When I post the pics it will all make better sense as to how and why it was done in this fashion.

Over all it has been a lesson I am glad I have learned but not sure I would do it again.
