This is a project I'm working on at the moment - a mini ITX computer case build
I updated it today and thought I'd do a shameless plug here
The original design was just a box, and I've redone it since then. I think I'll reread my worklog too
Here it is:

Edit: I'll post some pics in this thread too

Re: Atomic Case Build
Awesome work! Me, I'm probably far too lazy to ever do something like that, but this is a pretty neat project. Also, I assume that you have enough ventilation on that case? It's probably fine since it doesn't seem like you're packing gaming hardware into it. What exactly are the hardware specs?

Re: Atomic Case Build
It looks alright and is evidently well crafted. I don't think the shape offers any practical advantages though.
I work on Windows. My toolbox is Linux.

Re: Atomic Case Build
It is designed to put the monitor on that ledge?

@CA_99 it'll just be a dual core Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD and a DVD drive, so 2 4cm fans should be plenty (one on the top, one at the back)
@Cantab not really unless I, like Atvan suggested, put a monitor on it.
@atvan That was originally the intention but I'm not sure the little block of wood glued to the inside will hold the weight of the monitor. I may need more araldite
