£200 is nowt really for a custom case escpecially if its to last years, its mainly the hours on the cnc Machine that hike the prices up.
Anyhows, for mine ive now decided im going to make it out of MDF, & perspex. why ?
1, cost
2.The Effect in the dark with the perspex.
3. cheaper and easier to correct if there is a problem
Bling side of the case, will be to house 8 x 120MM watercooled rad's & 4 pumps, along with 4 resivoirs,. 4 individual loops. 1 x cpu, 1 for each gfx card, and 1 for the chipset.
It will also house 1 x 200mm fans, & 1 x 120mm front fan, 1 x 120 mm rear fan. Big fans = less rpm but more airflow = Less noise.
Storage side. will allow upto 4 x 3.5 inch drives as well as space for 4 x ssd drives. wont not use floopy or 5 n half inch drive.
Will also wire in a few little gadgets & tricks, maybe a usb cup warmer to for those long gaming nights lol
, will wire in switches to turn lights on/off, pumps on /off, and of course the pc.
The main thing im thinking of is what shape to make it
Most people just go out buy a case mod it, n then they all more or less look the same. Im thinking of making it look like a cube, as that way it can sit in the bedroom / living room tucked in teh corner not looking out of place.
Im going to have a word with a local school , they have a cnc machine, its jsut how much they will charge
Ill keep all posted
- When ive drawn it up ill post a pic or 2.
