Custom cable box and shower hosing.
Having selected the C3 acrylic case from the states as the main box I set about making some custom internal body parts. This is the first thing I built which was a clear sheet of acrylic heat formed to make a box across the whole base width of the case. The object of this box was purely to house a million metres of cable that were to be installed in the coming months. You can see the first ones in this pic which are the ATX header switch cables. They travelled in their own shower hose directly to the headers and a small adaptor plate was made to keep it in the correct position. The four other holes were to fix another 4 shower hoses to carry cables to other various locations later on. The shower hoses fitted very nicely to the glands shown which are made by Kopex (Part no GAM0404).
The whole box was then clad in chrome sheet and fixed into the main case by 4xM6 hex cap machine screws.
