Project Pyramid 3: Rough Sketches

So last night I did a few rough sketches so that I could get some of my ideas down on paper.

Now I am definitely not an artist and these sketches are extremely basic but I guess it's still something. When I have the time I'll draw better versions using the computer, I promise that they'll be better than the ones I drew last night.

Well anyway. Enjoy!

A quick sketch of the front... I've shown a couple of disk drives, an LCD and a mini USB hub though I have no idea what I'm going to put in it. For instance I've already combined the hub with the screen, so the finished sketch will probably look very different to this one. Also you can see a line running down the center of the front panel. This will be a clouded acrylic strip, So that light from the blue LEDs will shine through without you seeing straight into the box. I've already talked about the rest so I'll just let you look for them.

This is a view of the front panel as if you were looking from the side. This is just to show that everything on the front section will be upright and slightly set into the case. This will probably mean that making the case will be harder but it make installing the hardware a lot easier if it's straight.

This view of the back panel shows you the window. I will use thumb screws and three small metal plates to secure the window.

F***... I have just realized that I've made a biggish mistake. This back panel is now just a clear acrylic panel, no window just a clear back panel... The removable panel will now be either the left, right or both side panels.

Anyway... the clouded line will also be on the back panel.

My last sketch is a birds eye view of the case. Nothing fancy just a little more info though.


I'll post the computer made versions a little later, as now it's time for some gaming!
