I ended up fully stripping both side panels, including the windowed one as I was not happy with the finish. I will be painting them in the next couple of days
🙂I also did some work on the acrylic panels that will be covering up the inside of the case in some places. It is a nice glossy white acrylic so hopefully it will show some cool reflections once the build is complete.
Here's the front bit
This will be the shroud for the bottom of the case. Hiding the PSU and also I will mount the Aquaero to the inside of it.
Cut and ready for bending, though it was getting quite late that night so I haven't bent it yet. Finger crossed it will turn out good. It will be the first time I'm bending an acrylic panel.
This is the panel for the back
Here it is cut and in place inside the case. The top right corner bit will be covered by the radiator and fans.
I decided to make two small windows to show off the SSDs on the back of the motherboard tray.
Haven't filled the cuts as again, it was getting quite late that night
Here it is on the case though
That's all for now guys.
Stay tuned for the next update.
Cheers,
Alex
