Turns out I had accidentally swapped a few digits around during my early modeling of the PCIE Brackets Oops! Way longer than they needed to be at first. Fixed. Thanks for noticing that [USER=4664]@Mrvonwyl[/USER]! Still battling with getting the retention flange properly modeled for bending - just need to figure out where to put the hole in relation to the midpoints of the slots and then it's fine. Also looking for a solution for the retention tabs at the bottom, thinking I'll just have another bent peice take care of it.That all aside, it's shaping up! Increased reservoir compatibility up to around 63mm from the surface of the motherboard tray. Also decided on how I'm going to mount the side panels. Really want to do tempered glass but it's like $130 a set :/ If this goes the production route like I intend, those will be an optional upgrade in both clear and tinted varieties. Mounting hardware should be equally capable between that and acrylic panels - lifting hinges and push to release latch for tool-less access to the case.Oh, and I'm running with the illuminable acrylic on the front. Really an excellent idea and resolves my concerns of wear and tear due to insertion - replacing that bit would be comparatively cheap to the whole panel.
