Loading ...And for my next trick ;)

Ok so ive got bored of looking at the same boring old (CPC readers drive winning) pc for nearly a year now… so ive decided to design myself a new pc! Im going to be using most of the same internal componants from my last mod, except i’ll be getting a new graphics card after killing my 8800 
Anyways this is the design that ive come up with, it may change a bit as im building it tho… 
So…yea feel free to leave feed back, what do you think of my design? More images will follow when i can be bothered to render them! Im intending to construct the case mainly from fiberglass, MDF and car body filler to get it nice and smooth 
_________________________________________________________
The big grey blocks are actually supposed to be white :p, there actually reflecting the grey background around it….i’ll try and put some renders on with a different background colour to show what i mean!

Ok heres some more renders:
There should be room for one double or triple radiator on each side of the lower compartment.
I will probably use blue led fans in the case aswell.

Cheers for all the comments so far, its all appreciated and considered! The two compartments will essentially be totally separated apart from a couple of small holes for power cables. This way i can ensure that heat wont really transfer from the bottom compartment to the top one. I agree however that heat does indeed rise and that the motherboard my be a few degrees cooler in the bottom section. It would be pretty difficult to see it however as i am intending to put the PSU in the middle section so that the cables can reach into both sections - it was either that or run 2 PSU’s with one in the top and one in the bottom (or extend every cable in my PSU - which i may still have to do for a few of the wires anyway!). This would block the view from the top to the bottom sections. The position of the PSU my change if i can find somewhere better for it mind!
I think my next step is to try to make every thing fit in the case so i’ll do some working drawings to scale soon. As i found with my last pc, trying to cram lots of high end componants into a small case with watercooling is pretty challenging! Anyway keep all the constructive comments coming!

great idea, but i think you should do something to the big grey blocks as they are not “pleasing to look at” maybe give them a coat of paint and a possible reshape
I think the minimalistic shape is pretty nifty, however I would personally style both the grey blocks with some vibrant, simple design. Like orange strips or such, which would fit the minimalistic nature of the case.
That’s going to be very cool - will definitely be watching this one
cool idea man, i love when someone thinks outside the box, no pun intended. i have a few ideas which you can knock down with a big slap. if you put the motherboard on bottom,it may reduce heat as heat rises, wires will stick from the bottom instead from the top. see thru top right down to the bottom with internal light show.
wow… that really does look like its going to be awesome, I also agree with the previous comments about blandness of just grey boxes, but I’m sure you have something up your sleeve to combat this. Good luck with this project ^^
You could make the cooling spirals into a double helix like DNA.
good luck with the project
instead of sprucing up with paint, how about some vynl graphics? cheap to make easy to apply and easy to change the look when you’re bored
Hi,
I love the look of this and will be following it very closely (mainly becauseI would love to copy it sometime 
Very cool and keep the pics/build blog coming.
Jase.
