Nice! Any reason why you left the tags on the aluminum?

I was contemplating your bolt pattern for your mobo mountings, you could take a piece of paper to the back side of the case you have and mark each hole....crazy idea but you only need 2 to three mounts, the rest can be rubber mounts like the regular tech stations.

Wow, that's a great idea! I'll probably try that! Your awesome man! Thanks a lot!

Drilled holes on the legs:


And the shelfs:


The top came together:




Then the bottom:


And the whole thing!


All I have to do now is drill holes for the motherboard standoffs and maybe make a PCI card holder. I will probably have some sort of mat on the lower shelf to help with static electricity and vibrations. Anything else I should add?

Maybe in the future, but not any time soon. The bolts get loose REALLY easy so I'm gonna go get some stop nuts so it will really stay stable. I also might paint the aluminum, but probably not.

I would suggest taking a flame around the edges of that plexi. Just gives it that extra profesional look.

Sounds good man, I'll give it a try.

ok dont put the actual flame to the plexi just get it in the heat and keep it moving. Would be best to do a test peice and use a hydrogen/oxygen torch if possible.
