Here is a picture of what the side panel will look like

The black will stay and the white will be cut out. The shield part is going to be held to the plexi by epoxy with small round head screws so to look like the original picture (http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/warcraft_samwise049c.html#gallery) The "L" will be epoxied onto the plexi. I plan to use blue and white LEDs to light up the shield with a light blue color. More to come.

that will be a cool window.

Looks like this is going to be a great warcraft mod.

Can you contend with crimsonsky's doom 3 mod, lol
The battle of the game themed case mods

He could attach the middle part to the plexi and have the plexi support it.

the "L" in the center will stay in place with a thin layer of epoxy. Getting ready to start cutting, hopefully that action will happen soon.

Ok, small update, its the weekend so hopefully I will get the side panels cut. During the week I modded the USB/Firewire hub to the floppy bay instead of on top where it originally was.

A general pic of my work area: http://img71.exs.cx/img71/4701/DSCF0106.jpg

Here is where the USB hub was originally. It was mounted in the little box and the box was in the hole: http://img79.exs.cx/img79/8647/DSCF111.jpg

The new spot for the USB hub. Cuts are a little janky, but thats ok: http://img65.exs.cx/img65/1600/DSCF0110.jpg

More updates soon.

EDIT: picture of new USB hub was a little shaky, I took another picture.

Finished cutting the side panel, its looking good. Now I just have to clean up the edges.

Lookin great keep up the good work

thats sweet btw nice workshop

[wehcrm]

Sorry for the lack of updates, its been a slow process due to no time/money.

I have finished the side panel, everything is all laid out and ready to be glued into place. Here's a picture of the mock-up: http://img80.exs.cx/img80/346/DSCF163.jpg

And here's a close up of the "L" in the middle: http://img34.exs.cx/img34/8346/DSCF245.jpg

You might notice that I cut off both the bottom of the hammer and the ankh on the "L," I did that because I knew I don't have the skill to cut out the detail on the ankh and the design would have been extremely small with the bottom of the hammer still on because it was too long for the case door.

I can't decide whether or not to use the slightly scratched plastic that I salvaged from a store as the window, or to buy brand new plastic. Any suggestions?

Next is the other side panel, cut out to look like this: http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/warcraft_samwise050c.html#gallery

This case is turning out to be great.
