Hi, welcome to 7Cubed
I recently got out of the planning stages and onto building and hardware.
First a brief rundown of my idea,
A perfect (well kinda, you'll see) 7" cube the houses a mini itx motherboard, all the standards and is water cooled. The material is 1/8" steel welded together.
Inspirations for this case are: Oliverw92 (and more specifically his MINIME case), Janik M. aka Xien16 and http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/sys...-janik/037.htm, and many others.
if you want to see about in some more detail the design challenges that faced this project see

Current state
Hardware
Core i3 530
H55N-usb3 motherboard
Zotac GPU
Corsair 4gb ddr3 dominator at 1600mhz
Lite on slot load dvd burner
For some visuals
Sides which will be CNC plasma cam cut
Right
Holes are for cords and tubes that will run outside of case because of the 1/20" space between the sides and the motherboard.
Don't worry they will look purty
Okay enough with the conceptual time for some hardware
the base
an h55n
The PSU it's so cute. It's also an FSP270 flex atx
Installed with corsair dominator memory
and an i3 530 to top it all of, IT"S MY FIRST INTEL CPU AND IT"S SO SMALL
Checking to make sure everything's in order
Thanks for looking I'll have pics of the beginning stages up by tomorrow.
