The Orange Box
Not the game. But instead I'm starting my case project. I intend to have it painted completely orange, inside and out and have a decal of some sort airbrushed on one of the side panels. I plan on having it support ATX and mATX boards.

Right now I'm building the frame and some of the mounting devices. Nothing is held in place yet, because i just want to get everything cut out, make sure it fits and all that good stuff. My dad will be helping me with some of the trickier stuff, but i plan on doing most of it myself.

Here are some of the parts I'm going to have to order off line:
Orange Bulgin Switch
Bulgin Switch Power Cable
Orange Fan 80mmx1
Orange Fan 40mmx2

Heres the base of the frame:

Heres the base of the frame with all the heights laied off to the side.

Frame Base with Mobo in:

Hard Drive Holder, It looks crooked for some reason in the photo, but its not.:

This is the first of many updates to come. Hopefully, I will have it done by the end of June to the middle of July. I'm going to take my time with it, but i do plan on posting daily updates.

Suggestions are welcome.

Very hard, almost had a frame competely done and had to trash it cause it wouldnt fit the panels.

Anyone here ever look at the custom cases that navig guy makes? He posts pics of them on quite a few forums, and has been featured in some diff pc gaming magazines, Ill get some links later.

Nbtoast, you gotta keep us updated with details.... where exactly are you planning on mounting the 40 mm fan, is that just gonna be a nb cooler?

If you dont have primary case fans, this xigmatek 120mm probably will fit your needs Newegg.com - XIGMATEK XLF-F1253 120mm 4 white LED LED Case Fan - Case Fans

The fan itself is orange and the white led's illuminate it... it isnt orange light in itself, but you get the idea
