I finished fabricating the back of the case, which consisted of drilling mounting holes through the motherboard trays and PSU mounting plate, through the back sheet and into the case frame. Holes that went into frame were tapped to #6-32 and those in the middle of the sheeting had PEM nuts pressed-in.

Yes that is an awesome pic. Look at the bare metal PCI slots. Look at how smooth the I/O plate slot is. Now look at the Allen screws.

Now clean your keyboard because you've been drooling.

Via the front air duct that's fed by the slot cut out in the bottom.

Do you think that that that small duct is enough to feed 9 120mm (or so i am assuming) fans? and you are going to filter that right?

What a nice case.
I don't get what you were trying to say though.
Are you building a server AND a gaming computer in the case together?
