    I like that top vent, do you have a source for them?

    I'm hoping they come in 80mm square versions. I currently have regular fan filters at the top to stop crud getting in but I think the air flow restriction they cause will be too great so a vent like that would be perfect. The alternative is to fit a couple more fans at the top but that then risks creating a negative pressure in the case.

    Home made from an old IKEA metal shelf, sometimes I don't mind a bit of sheet metal working, I was going to use the side cut from an old washing machine, another good source of sheet metal.
    I drew it in Sketchup to get a template for cutting it out of a flat sheet.

    Eddy noticed you have wire tags or numbers on your wires where did you get those.? . . . I've looked around but can't find any at sensible money.

    Cogs, for evey exhust fan you have, you need twice the amount for intake fans, this creates the "flow" through the box. I like the look of Eddys vent on the top but would have preferred to see a 4 fan array there instead or as well.
