A bit asymmetrical at the top, but otherwise pretty awesome.

then i would have wasted space :? plus it would require massive reconstruction, its pretty late in the game to be cutting off and changing part of my case considering its ready for a final coat of paint :roll:

what i will probably do is put a power switch or something right there, might minimise the horrible obviousness of it lol

Is it ready for the final paint in the previous pics or have you since done more work?

My only gripe is the half-filled in line on the front.. I realize that it would be tough to keep the line considering its filler there, but perhaps its the perfect place for a name plate/label?

Otherwise, great job. It was a really cool idea for a case.

I don't care what the others say... I love the corner in the case. Gives it definition from one side to the next. Mirror image sides are outdated, IMHO.

Nice work!

Will it be getting any special colors, or are you just going to leave it in this color?
