Machinatrix Part 1 by PilouX

The Case: Assembly

The case I am using is a clear perspex case from Clear Computer Case ( C³ ) - they make the best clear cases on the market. They are based in West Columbia, South Carolina, but shipped a case directly to my house in Belgium.



To protect against damage in transit, C³ ship IKEA-stylee ie flat-packed. We're all used to assembling furniture this way, but cases? Sure, why not!



Here is C³'s ingenius screw / bolt system that holds the whole thing together. Simple, but effective.



It's really just a case of building the box one panel at a time. This is the front panel, with drive bays and 80mm blowhole.



Here she is: the completed chassis; a real thing of beauty. Of course, my plan is to hack it up but end up with an even better looking case...
