Its not really Headphone related, but case modding is case modding so I figured why not get some opinions. This is my new computer case, It is going to be my source
Its almost purely out of steel so far. I have some more pics on my phone ill post a bit later. I have the front holes for dvd roms and such cut. Fan holes are cut. I am in process of making raised, louvered fan grill/covers. Im going to use a sander to make uniform sanding marks on the steel then seal it for final look. Im using copper tubing for edge molding. I know its hard to picture it so Ill try to update some more pics today.
Anyway. I need some ideas for switches (power and reset). I was thinking a big Copper knife switch for power or maybe a couple Military style toggles with guards. Any other ideas are welcome too, not just switches. I need to figure out some casters or legs for the bottom yet also.
pics are a little fuzzy, my camera phone and my shaking hands

I still need to trim the tubing down to fit the panels. basicly the copper will hide my seams
