Thursday: Day 4 of 7
Had a bit of a misshap today and took a ton of process photos, once finished I realised there memory card wasn´t in the camara...
...so all photos are actually from the end of today but I´ll explain what I did aniway :)
My sister gave me a hand today with her epic caligraphy skills and finally paid tribute to the name.

Tomorrow we will do a few other writings under that and I can consider that sidepanel (aside from the window and its details) finished.
The other side panel however was finished today.

Remember yesterday I did the CM logo on the front? Well this is what it was in preparation for... :)

Did the wood detail on the usb and audio connections up top.

And finally I couldn´t resist putting it all togueter to see how it was going, have in mind there´s still a LOT to do in terms of detailing the case and effects but... I was shocked... just...wow. I´m in love! Also, you´ll notice there´s something different about the copper. I used a sponge to aply a darker tone of copper (though with a pearl effect) so the copper changes tones depending on the light as you can see by the pictures).

Well, that´s it for the fourth of the 7 days. The idea for tomorrow is to finish with the external look of the case. Do that DVD drive that will go in that open slot in the front and work on the hardware!
I´ve hoped you´ve enjoyed today´s update and that you come back for more tomorrow! :)

Friday: Day 5 of 7
Bunch of problems today. Unfortunately neither the ASUS motherboard nor the CM PSU made it in time so I´m having to use alternative parts. Gigabyte had sponsored a motherboard for a different project so I contacted them and ask them if it´d be ok for me to use it with this project, they said sure so I went ahead with it and well, it seems to go hand in hand...

However I´m most likely going to have to shave off the mobo´s heatsink as it´s just a bit to tall to allow the rad to fit in the case. I do have a slimline rad which fits just fine but it seems to be leaking so I can´t trust it.
The PSU is more of a decision than an issue, I´ve got a brand new Corsair TX650 but I´m thinking it´s going to cut it short for a GTX560 Ti SLI setup, while I do have an NZXT HALE90 (850w) it´s going to be a pain as that´s within my main PC so it means taking the whole thing apart to get it out. So I decided for now to go with the Corsair, took it apart, and started to paint it.

Also started customizing the EK 360 rad.

So I´m going to take the chance to say thanks as all these products where either sponsored or winnings from previous project.
First of all, massive thanks to Gigabyte, I could have been in serious trouble if it wasn´t for you guys!

Thanks Corsair for the TX650!

a Special mention for Kingston. 2x 240Gb HyperX SSDs + 16Gb 1866Mhz DDR HyperX ram!

Thanks to Lamptron for the FC10!

So. I´ve now done all I can do before sticking all the HW in, so that´s what I´m doing on Day 6 and hell, if possible even finish this project on day 6, so you know, I can sleep on Sunday (that´d be nice).
Thanks for reading! :)
