So time for more photos!
Yes, dimensions are spot on! I also use larger screws so the cutouts are completely hidden, you nailed it!
I really like how it turned out, with some minor problems becuase I hadn't done this before. Let me explain: I used 1mm aluminum sheet for this construction. As you can see this proved to be too thin as the cover develops some degree of flex at the bottom (where the honeycomb pattern is) and it is generally flimsy. It is a little too weak. That is why I also tried it inverted, because that way the gap you see was gone. Of course I can bend it with my hands to try to get it in the right shape, will see. It is not a big deal, I just thought to mention it. Also the color is a bit off
. I told them I wanted it white, they said they have the RAL 9010 colour available and I said sure, go for it . If I can describe it, the cover is a little more of a neutral white, while the rest of the case is a somewhat colder white. Again, not a big deal and something that occurred from inexperience. The pattern itself is amazing! It lets me watch my GPU, which is the cool part, while covering the rest. I could feel lots of hot air coming out of there while gaming, great! In hindsight, I would remove the last row of honeycomb holes (which seem to overlap with the case, as well as the two top ones, so the cutout would focus entirely on the GPU. Again this is from inexperience on my behalf, I should order an unpainted sample first since without painting it was about half the price and then do the final sample so I could correct minor stuff like that plus the thickness. The only disappointing part overall I think is the paint job, the quality is just not that great overall. Anyways since I finally found this guys who are willing to make the sidepanel, I might make a second attempt to fix the stuff above, plus paint it myself with a canister or something? I don't know It's only me who notices the small color inconsistency but again it is there . I have also made more modifications to the build it self, I should make a post about them as well as the temperature testing that needs to be done. Today or tomorrow. Thank you again my friend for the time and effort you put into this! I have been building and customizing this PC since January and it has been a great journey so far!
