Well guys,

I have ordered some black powder coated HEX mesh. This will be used to cover the HDD area. Also on the way is a piece of some sort of steel that a member from another forum recommended me which is also powder coated black I believe. This will be used for the PSU area in the lower portion of the case. Once I get that out the way I'll move on to some wire management and sleeving :)

I just got my Hex style Mesh. powder coated black. Next step, cover the PSU area then start with the sleeving woot woot!

What do you think? I'm having mixed feelings about it, maybe when I cover the PSU area it'll all come together. Right now It just looks kinda odd. I think what I need to do is finish off the edges a bit better, or should I say mold it better to the cage so it looks cleaner. What do you'll think?

Thanks :)

For the PSU area I want to use something like a aluminum plate or something. Not mesh because it's see through. I'll admit it from now. The reason why I want to cover it is because that's gonna be the nasty side of this build :laugh: Imma hide the wires, my lunch, everything in there :D

How about some smoked acrylic , it will look good around the psu area, maybe have a design with a cold cathode behind it

How hard is it to bend Acrylic or shape it? Not easy heh?

How is airflow happening in that area if it'll be sealed from view?
Maybe some filter w/mess so it'll breath a little but still be out of view?
