In the middle of 2008 I decided that it was time to upgrade my dying system of 6 years so I set about looking what cases and hardware were available.
The planning stage began using Google sketchup on some pre designed cases but I quickly came to the conclusion that none of the cases on offer would fit the bill for what Iintended to do so the decision was made to build the case entirely from scratch. In late 2009 I completed the original design which consisted of a full tower case with 2 sections, the bottom to house hard drives, power supply andthe radiators, and the top which would hold the core of the rig. This would help to aid in the heat management by keeping the warm air generated by the radiators away from the main system.
