Thats kind of what I want mine to look like. I am still planing on the deck lid layout but what you have is about what I want. The one think I am adding to mine is the potentiometer for dialing down the output when I need to.

Forgot, great looking project. I cant remember right off hand but what parts did you use? would it be to much to ask for a quick breakdown of what was needed to build this case?

Thank you. Prices are not needed because all that stuff is going to very but it does give a ball park though. Again thank you.

Those should be able to handle a full 12v, so off of the 12v side.

The wire fan vents are for cooling and were bought from Maplin, you can get them from any PC store. The fans are on the PSU,s:)
