Here is the basic box screwed together
with 6-32 brass flathead screws. I used this size of screw because there
isn't very much room for anything larger. The heads of the screws had to
be turned down because they were a little bigger than the thickness of
the sides. I had to put them right in the middle of the Plexiglas or
they would stick out and you would be able to see and feel them even
though they were countersunk flush.

All but the back is together here. Now it's time to do
some shelf work now that the sides are on. The shelves are made this way
to be removable when the back comes off. That way when the motherboard
is mounted, I can remove it easily. The same will be for the CD-ROM and
hard drive.

Now that the shelves in, it's time
to mount the motherboard to the top shelf and drives to the other. I
gave the drives 3/4" of clearance between the top and bottom
shelves for air circulation. After taking off some of the paper
it's starting to look a little better.

Let's go take a look at the details of
the shelves.
