The case is now ready. The only thing I need is rubber feet to elevate the case and a switch from RadioShack to use as a power button. Once I mount the button and status LEDs, I can glue on the front of the case and it will be fully assembled.
Today’s work with the front plate (which ended up being more acrylic rather than aluminum due to price) was sort of sloppy. I can mostly blame the fact that I didn’t get the front plate earlier, so I couldn’t really line up my cuts. And the cuts I made were a little rushed…
So basically just some lines along the edges aren’t going to line (or in some cases meet) perfectly. And the lid is sitting up to a 1/16″ of an inch too high at some points. I guess you can’t tell unless you feel the edges, and once the mobo is in there it’ll be less visible.
I would post pictures of the finished box, but it’s so close to being finished I’ll just wait until tomorrow.
